WHAT ARE THE BIG IDEAS IN THE WORTHWHILE LESSON MODEL? PLAY THE SLIDESHOW

Our Instructional Rounds Network has undertaken several rounds with a focus on "Worthwhile Lessons".  These have been based on the model by Moss and Brookhart.
Our first round Ising this model was at Oakhill Drive PS in Term 3, 2019. The problem of practice was:
Are our lessons worthwhile?
Is the lesson tied to a curriculum outcome or outcomes?
Is the lesson content based on a learning trajectory?
Does the lesson meet student needs?

THE WORTHWHILE LESSON READING
The second round was at Thornleigh West PS  in Term 4, 2019 and the focus was on the "Performance of Understanding". The POP was:
How do the qualities of the task deepen thinking and learning?
Resources for ThORNLEIGH WEST ROUND
During our rounds we have collaboratively developed learning trajectories and worthwhile lessons for four curriculum areas.  
RESOURCES FOR LEARNING TRAJECTORIES
In Term 4, 2020 Thornleigh West PS hosted the round.  The problem of practice was: " Are our reading lessons worthwhile?"
ARE OUR READING LESSONS WORTHWHILE?
Adapted from Moss and Brookhart, the Collaborative Inquiry Guide was the basis for our Instructional Rounds' Observation. Click here to download

 As part of the Oakhill Drive PS Instructional Rounds (Term 3, 2019), participants were asked to complete a pre-round task which included reading the chapter from Moss and Brookhart's book Formative Classroom Walkthroughs on a 'Worthwhile Lesson'.
Using the 'Worthwhile Lesson Guide', teachers noted questions about the guide in preparation for the Instructional Rounds. 
Participants each chose a KLA (English, Maths, Geography or History) on which they would later plan a worthwhile lesson in cross-school groups. 


The presentation for this round is below.  Click here to download
