Communities Strategy Review
Strategy Debrief:
• Step 1: Each person briefly shares their objective, the strategy
they taught, and one piece of evidence that indicates whether
students met their lesson objective. [Examples of evidence
include a list of student scores, samples of student work (some
that met and some that did not meet expectations), and a grade
book.]
• Step 2: Group members validate whether the evidence shows
that the objectives were met.
• Step 3: One group member shares the question they wrote on
the reflection sheet that will inform their future implementation
of the strategy. The group discusses this question.
• Step 4: Participants take notes on implications for their own
teaching, in the bottom box of the reflection sheet.
