Teacher Center: Tier I Comprehension Strategy Visualize Lesson

Welcome to our new Series: Teacher Center!

In these videos we use metacognition at its best! 

We provide 5 things for you in our new Teacher Center videos:
1) Watch good teaching
2) Discuss what is being done/seen
3) Hear about the choices made when the lesson was planned
4) Hear about the choices made during the teaching
5) Discuss what ideas could be improved upon in the future or in different circumstances.

What a great way to learn from each other!  We hope you will share in our learning and be metacognitive with us about teaching!

In today's "Teacher Center" video, we will be watching Whitney teach a TIER I comprehension lesson using the strategy visualize. Enjoy!

Thank you Whitney for letting us into your classroom.
We are blessed to see you teach!
