In Clark’s MAT graduate program, there is a practice of attending “rounds” of our peers. Much like medical rounds, the idea of teaching rounds is to learn from our peers as a teacher when we prepare the lesson, or as an observer when we attend someone else’s lesson. Rounds are always well prepared around both learning inquiry questions, as well as practice-inquiry. Over the course of the year, I did three rounds. 

Each of the round sheets below includes practice-based inquiry questions as well as learning-centered inquiry.

Round 1:  Harriet Tubman Read-Aloud

Round 2: Bridge-building (In preparation for field trip)

Round 3: Creating and inacting steps of the engineering design process
