Was thinking about our Adaptive Schools work when I was in a class this week. I've been noticing little changes and things people have included in how they give instructions and talk to the students. Very exciting.
For one class, I noticed a group who was straying way off topic and remembered how I was in a meeting recently with adults, and someone kiddingly, but also group-aware, said that we were no longer talking about the topic at hand. It was a good reference to what we talked about with the staff regarding group norms and collaboration. Which made me think....
I would love to have teachers teach students to recognize when they have moved off-topic and be
able to say, “Tell me how what you are sharing relates to the topic.” Or something like that.
Wouldn't that be a great skill to have as a student?
