Last week’s ISW: I felt like my Lesson Basics theme sessions were not as strong as they could have been, and then felt like those aspects were lacking in my group’s mini-lessons. Could be anecdotal, but left me with a real motivation to have those theme sessions in good shape for my next ISW, and hopefully that will be reciprocated in the mini-lessons.

New ideas!
Used one lesson plan for all of the lesson basics 2.0 sessions (learning objectives, motivation, etc.) – participants added to it throughout each lesson and they really seemed to get how all of these elements fit together
Questioning techniques – spent some time on Socratic questioning which really worked
Leading discussions – left debate to the end so they were comfortable, small groups as teams, so they were comfortable with each other and competitive!
