Overview
- Set boundaries for TFL process
- Goal is to create a permanent change in teacher practice
- Discussed why they wanted to look at critical inquiry and critical thinking
- Critical literacy was put forth and explored as another possibility
- Looked at evidence they have seen from their students to suggest this was where they should focus
- Attempted to clarify difference between inquiry and critical thinking
- Discussed that they wanted to use geography as the platform for teaching using an inquiry method.
- Based on more discussion with regards to the language piece and time constraints in Geography, decided to integrate into Language Arts.
- Decided we wanted a clearer understanding of where their greatest need was in this area. So we decided to create an opening task (diagnostic)
- Melissa presented TC2 resource as a possible start point.
- Group selected "The Explain the Image" lesson
- Reviewed the lesson. Agreed to all bring in image for next week to base the lesson off.
