Using Peer Instruction in K-12

mjohnson — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 12:22:24 -0400

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.
