Introductions

• Introduce yourselves at tables: name, role, district, what you are most excited to learn about while you are here.

Turn and Talk

• “It isn’t the changes themselves that the people in these cases resist. It is the losses and endings that they have experienced and the transition that they are resisting.” (Bridges, 2009, p. 24)

• Do you agree/disagree? Why? Can you relate to this? Why or why not?

Learning Targets

• I can analyze a module lesson for the Common Core shifts in instruction.

Your “Learner Hat”

• There will be lots of time to think like a teacher and ask questions about planning later after you have some experiences as a learner.

• Our purpose is for you to dig into the “subtle moves” that represent the shifts. While we are asking you to be “students,” be metacognitive about our choices and design.

Read, Write, Reflect

• What characteristics or qualities does a person have “who takes a stand?”

• Is it ever okay to break the law? Why or why not?

• How can taking a stand be both positive and a negative?
