Using Peer Instruction in K-12

Years ago I was a kindergarten teacher.  I loved to hear my students discuss their answers and ideas with each other.  However sometimes a simple direction like "discuss your answer with a neighbor", can lead to off task behavior.  Attached are some templates I created to help guide the discussion part of Peer Instruction (P.I.) with k-12 students.  If you try P.I. and use these templates, please provide any feedback so I can improve them for other users.

To learn more about the Peer Instruction strategy check out http://mazur-www.harvard.edu/research/detailspage.php?ed=1&rowid=8.  Please keep in mind that PI originated as a strategy used in higher education, so you might have to tweak it a bit for k-12 use.

 

Happy clicking!
