Marcia Tate Worksheets Don't Grow Dendrites

I was so excited about learning the new strategies that I wasted no time sharing with my connections team. We all now are using parking lots to find out what the students need to know.
I have seen this process used but this time it really hit home. We are using the brain-compatible lesson plan as a daily reminder to chunk our lessons into segments. This have been most helpful to me because it breaks the boredom and allows breathing time. It is so useful to be able to check off which deliver content I am planning to use. The students really take advantage of the chances to recall facts in a group. I was using music before but now I use music to encourage them to pace themselves. If I want them to think I use soft music. When I want them to move I use a fast pace beat. They love it and so do I! I have even more visual than before. The students can see examples of everything I am trying to teach.

My men tee and I have discussed all the notes as well as the book. She is very reluctant to try the chunking because she thinks it will not be as effective as I say. She is focused on the CRCT and is hooked on worksheets. We are now on block scheduling and she showed me a mini quiz she gave the students as a warm up to check their progress. She told me she heard me but she is afraid to try something so different.
