[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a 90 minute block I teach 30 minutes of content since that’s all anyone can handle. 1 standard for 30 minutes (broken into 2-15 minute segments with a “brain break” in between, 15 minute lecture, 5 brain break, 15 minute 2nd half lecture, another 5 minute brain break) then give them 45 minutes to practice it. In a 45 minute period I teach half the standard’s content for 15 minutes, and give them 30 minutes to practice. Much more manageable amount of content to master at one time. Easier to catch strugglers earlier in the lesson so that struggles don’t compound. Tougher with behavior issues because it takes 5 minutes to settle kids at the beginning of the period though, so that’s 10 minutes lost across two classes instead of 5 minutes (but saved with lack of brain breaks). —middle school math teacher[/quote] Very helpful, thanks.[/quote]
