PLC- Peer Question Activity
On Friday, January 25, 2019- DCSS PLC Teachers: Ms. Carney (ELA teacher) and Ms. McFarland (Math teacher), implemented co-teaching with peer question activity with there classes. We had one class to write areas of concern down on an index card and then transferred them to a large "post it" note on the wall. We then had the next class to come in and give suggestions/solutions for problems they could solve.
We didn't limit the area of difficulty to just our subject areas, we opened it up to anything that could be of concern to them. Of course many of them stated the obvious - Math! or certain math concepts....motivation and anxiety came up as well!
Ms. Carney and I will use these problems and suggestions to create formative assessments and also help us in grouping our students. We can have stronger students help weaker students. We love the peer tutoring concept, so we would love to see more of that amongst our students. This may also help them in the areas of motivation and anxiety. Both of which can be caused from not understanding concepts in math or other areas.
