(35 – 40 minutes)
Opening: How did your Next Step go when implemented? Was it effective in helping to close the gap?
How do you know (what did you collect, see, hear?)

Step 1: (Each teacher has 8 minutes including Q & A)

What is your Task or Exit Ticket:

● What would students need to know and be able to do to master this? (refer to standards) (2 minutes)

● Examine a teacher exemplar in this space. Discuss why this is the exemplar and meets CCSS expectations.
Get feedback from colleagues. (2 minutes)

Step 2: Sort student work (1 minute)

What are the gaps between the student exemplar (score 3) and the “some confusion” (score 2)?
● What is the greatest gap (representative of most students? (2 minutes)

● What will get them fastest to a 3? (2 minutes)

Step 4:
Analysis to Action – Plan for reteach (20 – 25 minutes)
● When we’re thinking of closing gaps, what do we want students to show in their work that would
demonstrate mastery? (3 minutes)

● If this is what we want to see, how do we want to teach it? (possible questions: Where will you model the
skill? What posters or charts do we need to make? (20 minutes)
● Our goal is ____% of our students will be able to demonstrate mastery at the end of the lesson
