Rub your hands together and tell me "I can't wait for my second blog post!" :-)
OK, I have been hitting the forums, and checked out a few videos I hadn't seen before, and this is my PT To Do list for the next week:
1. Start requiring more energy and gestures from my kids when they are doing Teach-OK. They are great at this already, but I think the energy and gestures will make it even better.
2. Start doing Q&A Teach-OK (for example, "1s, quiz 2s on as many vocabulary words as you can; helpsies are allowed").
3. Start using Switch more (also, I was having them respond with "OK" for switch, and I'm going to change that to them echoing "Switch").
4. Require my students to mirror me better, and start planning better gestures rather than just using on-the-spot ones.
5. All this will be introduced as "You guys are ready for the NEXT LEVEL of Power Teaching!" :-)
