Description: 
So what does whole group instruction have that small group and personalized computer programs don’t have? How can you possibly meet the needs of all of your students in a whole group lesson? Hit play now because on this episode of The Mindful Math Podcast I’m answering BOTH of these questions. I also reveal the simple lesson structure you can use to increase students’ confidence and engagement, save YOU stress and time, and lead to deeper, more joyful learning in your math class.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how THIS form of whole group learning can help you reach every learner where they are while increasing access to grade-level content. Bold claim: It’s even better than other approaches to differentiate instruction such as leveled small groups and adaptive computer programs. Plus, I’ll also knock down the biggest objections you may have to using whole group learning in math class -- which has unfairly earned a bad rap in my opinion! 

Summary & Highlights: 
In this episode, Chrissy explains the reasons why she recommends discussion-based, whole group lessons as a means to differentiate instruction in math, including:
  • ​a description of a strong math lesson that was taught at the Lesson Study Conference using a whole group, Teaching Through Problem Solving approach
  • ​specific actions the teacher took within the whole group lesson to meet students at their starting point and differentiate instruction
  • ​an audit of the 8 Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices showing how they are embedded in discussion-based lessons
  • ​a point-by-point comparison of personalized learning approaches and whole group, discussion-based lesson (stemming from the 10 common challenges of personalized learning shared in episode 9)
  • ​common objections to whole group learning, and the reasons they are unfounded and should not hold teachers back from whole group lessons
