Inside a High School Science Modern Classroom
Explore Amy Bracher’s high school science class in Tulsa Public Schools and learn how her setup allows her to correct misunderstandings in real time.
Amy credits clear systems with her ability to quickly assess student understanding, pivot instruction to correct misunderstandings in real time, and to keep her classroom running smoothly.
Some of her go-tos?
Progress trackers that tell students individually and as a class what expectations their teacher has for their learning so students always know what comes next.
Mastery checks that cover a single concept allow Amy to quickly get a full picture of student mastery
A series of bins automate the administrative components of assignments and practice work, giving Amy more time to actually teach.
