CCRS Teacher Workouts – Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop!
It is easy to get overwhelmed by the plethora of ever-evolving aspects of teaching and learning right now: the remote classroom, the hybrid programming, the socially distanced classroom protocols, the starting and pausing of program activities. In this time of scrambling to adjust to the next new phase of program delivery, setting aside the idea of CCRS-based professional development can be easy. However, regardless of the delivery method of our instruction and programming, the standards will always be the benchmark for instruction.
We have previously written two articles sharing CCRS Teacher Workouts for both Math and ELA:
We have more workouts to share with you because we can’t stop, won’t stop strengthening our CCRS muscles…even in the middle of a pandemic!
CCRS Teacher Workouts are professional development activities that help you effectively embed the shifts, standards, and practices into your instruction. The workouts are focused, fast, and designed to help teachers move forward with CCRS implementation. And they are versatile! Use them in a virtual staff meeting or PLC, with a colleague, or independently.
Each workout takes between 20 and 45 minutes and focuses on a key CCRS shift or shifts, standard, or practice. Workouts include goals, an introduction, practice, and a wrap-up. Doing the workouts is an opportunity to review, explore, and apply an idea or resource. These workouts are typically created by members of the Minnesota Numeracy Instruction Advisory Team (MNI A-Team) and the Language & Literacy Advisory Team (LLATé).
