Year 2 Instructional Cycles are a natural segue from Lesson Study. Mentors facilitate collaborative conversations and provide timely and specific feedback about the "thinking behind," the elements of, and the need for, high level, purposeful instructional planning. The questions in each section serve as thinking guides for deeper understanding and implementation of the Teaching & Learning Cycle. |
