Hey everybody, it's Cheri Dotterer from Tier One Interventions Today.
Jonily is gonna uncover some new material.
She didn't even tell me what this time, so take it away,
Jonily and let's get started.
Mission accomplished.
We are gonna unpack exactly what that means in our first segment
here of our live session today.
And I've done it in a way that my other Algebra one teachers at my school, they're
first year teachers, I want them to have a successful January math in a month.
So I actually had to create the slide deck so it's user friendly
so that they can just show it every day and it facilitates for them.
So for Algebra one, I actually have this year.
That's better than it's ever been.
For all of you here, live for all of you.
Tier one interventions, level two, every resource that I've mentioned, I
actually have a special Google folder for tier one interventions, level two ev.
And as I've been planning, I've been putting the pieces in there.
Every resource I've mentioned, you're gonna get a link to that Google folder
that has everything I've mentioned today, because as I was planning
today, I, so you're gonna get my whole Algebra one January math in a month.
You are gonna see how Purple X develops at an algebra one level
with pictures and notation then how I relate Purple X to parent function.
Explicit and recursive rules, domain and range and transformations.
So I'm so proud of myself.
Are you guys proud of me?
Of course we are.
I know Kirk.
Thank you.
My first graders, when Jonily came in November, they were like, oh, I'm like,
she's the one that's made all these like activities and like the reference
tasks that we do, like rectangles and pizza, and they're like, oh,
and like the purple X in the basket.
And I'm like, yes, those two,
Amy and I had so much freaking fun with her kids.
A I'm Amy, I'm coming back.
Ooh, I think I can come.
Ja January 5th.
Stop it.
Oh my gosh.
Wait a minute.
I gotta write this down because I asked the other day, they were like,
oh yeah, that's a work at home.
Or like a records day, whatever.
They're like, we don't care.
So Amy Garrison, January 5th.
I am the reason I'm now, if you have to cancel that, it's no problem.
But the reason I'm writing that down is I'm going to send an email to
my admin today just approving it.
They never disapprove anything I say because who would do that to me?
But I'm going to email them today just so that I have in writing the approval.
And girl, we're gonna have fun.
Okay.
And if you can stay like most of the day, then we could go have Mexican meal.
I love Mexican.
Do you like Mexican food?
Yes.
So if you could, we could go to the Mexican restaurant
that Natalie and I went to.
Okay.
Oh my gosh, I'm so excited.
I'm so excited.
You've just given me the best gift I've ever heard and dreamed of heart.
Okay, so this is season three.
I should write that to make sure we're, we know what's happening here.
Okay.
This is season three and I love season three.
Did I say that already?
Okay.
Season four and five, I actually don't even care about because
by the end of January I've done everything I can do for these kids.
So anything else we do as a bonus, like I'm just smooth sailing and
honestly, I'm either giving kids like a project or I'm worksheet them.
'cause I'm done for the year.
The end of January, I'm on cruise control.
If you didn't get it by now, there's nothing else I can do for you that's
on you as the student I'm just saying.
So I'm gonna do whatever I can do after January to just be the warm body
in the room for the rest of the year.
Now I say all that sarcastically.
However, you know there are glimpses of excitement and, but what I'm trying to
tell you is if you can get this far in your school year using the novel model,
there's no panic at test time.
There's no panic, there's no hurry up, no huddle offense, there's no test prep.
There's like there.
There's no, like you are in such a good emotional state if you use this model.
I can't even explain it until you feel it yourself.
You have to trust the system.
You have to trust the model.
So season four is like this.
Season two, it kind of mimics that.
Season two.
Season four is February through April, February, March, April, and
it's really this mimic of season two.
You might still have a bunch of stuff to do, but like you've got three months.
When have we ever freed up three months of no have toss.
This is all just bonus.
Do whatever you want.
Finish teaching your textbook.
Textbook that your district is like you have to do every page,
which is stupid by the way, but.
Look at all the, you can do whatever you want here.
Now I keep doing fun stuff.
I really don't put myself on cruise control to be honest,
because I'm just so excited.
The kids are so excited that we're doing more quick dots and we're doing more like
we're just, we're doing, three act math.
We're doing the vacation project, we're doing planning a trip.
We're using what math, do we see on the go-kart track.
We're just doing lots of random application stuff.
I just have a good time with them and I'm doing lots of test release questions
with them because I finished my content.
I know they're gonna take the end of course test in
April and I can do test prep.
But it's not stressful.
It's not stressful because it's you guys know this, we've done it.
And if I have those few that don't know it, I can then relate
it to everything back here.
I need to write this down 'cause I wanna show you guys this example.
Hold on a second.
Okay.
You are gonna like this.
I'm gonna show you guys two specific examples of reference task
chunks and how I taught a release test question for algebra one.
I'm gonna show you that today.
So yeah, that is season four.
I hope I didn't say se, I might have said season three for that.
I'm, I messed up if I did.
This is season four and then season five is I really don't care
because season five is, may, like it's after testing, we've got field trips, some
groups are going bowling or the zoo or going to the pool and like there, there
really are no instructional days in May.
So if you think you're gonna teach anything, you're kidding yourself.
So I mean I will look, I have a love-hate relationship with teachers, pay teachers.
I'll just pull some teachers pay teacher stuff just to keep them busy in May.
Like I'm just being real with all y'all.
Okay.
Because there aren't many instructional days in May.
Now what I do with some of the schools that I coach may becomes very important
because they, if they don't know this model and I've been teaching
them this model all year, but they haven't been implementing it, they
haven't really been listening to me all year because they're in their
hurry up know huddle offense state.
That is just a vicious cycle every year.
And by this time I can't even talk to them.
I can't even meet with groups by this season because they're like test.
I can't, they can't have any outside stimuli at all.
Educators that are in this like panic mode.
So once we finish testing, then I put my teachers to work for
the development of next year.
So if you've done bits and pieces of the model, but not really the full
model may is your practice model.
So what I encourage most teachers to do, if they're making this transition into
the novel model method of delivering math instruction, what I advise and coach most
of my teachers to do is run a mock season.
One in May, run a mock first 15 days or first eight days.
Maybe you only have eight instructional days in May.
Do eight days of the first 15 to practice it at the end of this year for
your new students coming in next year.
Give it a practice run, which is why I am now gonna bubble that in green,
because that's how I coded season one.
In the comments here, how early can step two be exposed to students?
Do they get watered down for kindergarten, or how does that look?
Asking maybe to include in what am I Oh.
For kindergarten and I have this spreadsheet already because I'm meeting
with my curriculum director on Tuesday because we are unveiling the must haves,
the bottom lines, the non-negotiables, and I have all of this in a spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet for kindergarten says you are to do two things in
kindergarten counting and rectangles Within counting is quick dots,
whisper counting, and one 20 chart.
And then in making rectangles is what it says.
It's making rectangles using quick dots, but also pizza problem purple X. So
the only two things to ground yourself in at kindergarten, which is, I don't
even call it chapter one in the novel model, kindergarten is the introduction.
It's like chapter zero and there's only two things to focus on,
which is counting and rectangles.
And Theresa, when we meet again, one-on-one.
Let's talk about that specifically for your work counting and rectangles.
And I will give you the counting breakdown and explicits.
And the rectangle breakdown.
Jonily, I wanna close out Tier One Interventions podcast, and that is, if you
are listening to this podcast and you are
thinking, how do I get involved, you wanna head over to your show
notes and click on the link.
We are offering you to come to a session like this where you get all two
and a half hours at one shot for $47.
You can then join another session for another $47.
Or you can buy the whole year for $497 plus you have to buy the.
When if you're going to go buy the whole year, you're gonna
have to buy level one as well.
But the coaching and these conversations that we're having are $497.
That sounds to me like a really good deal for to really think the way you're
thinking about not just mathematics, but occupational therapist delivery,
speech therapy, delivery, special ed delivery, and how we're helping
these kids rethink, reregulate, relearn and think about life as whole.
