\"degena10\"<\/a>This blog posting is for both Degena and Adi Abezut Elementary Schools.<\/p>\n

At Degena Elementary School we began the site visits with professional development sessions including discussing about the theoretical aspects of the model and its research bases. The professional development sessions are very participant centered with hands on learning. This models the goal of a student centered classroom model.<\/p>\n

\"degena1\"<\/a>We then did class room demonstration lessons. Atsede taught a lesson on riparian states about water sharing and distribution among the states via modeling the use of a Circle Map with a student before the class. She later asked to students to Think-Pair-Share information on ideas and thoughts on the topic. Each group shared their works in the class with the whole class of students.\u00a0We modeled the collegial coaching model with teachers including: Briefing – Lesson \u2013 Debriefing, as part of the demonstration lesson.<\/p>\n

\n\"adi5\"<\/a>At Adi Abezut Elementary School Atsede did a demonstration lesson on regional organizations where she modeled the use of Thinking Maps with a student. She implemented the Think-Pair-Share pedagogical tool for peer to peer learning to support students independent thinking and collaborative works.<\/p>\n

\"adi7\"<\/a>Atsede modeled the collegial coaching model with teachers including: Briefing – Lesson \u2013 Debriefing, as part of the demonstration lesson.<\/p>\n

Observations during the trainings included it is very important that teachers understand the collegial coaching model so teachers see the need for projecting (understanding processes and procedures to actually be used for experimenting and learning from each other as key component of professional development and improved practice throughout academic years of the collegial coaching model that we model.<\/p>\n
