NESS Support Group Meeting

Prior to the next NESS Support Group Meeting, download two or three grade level appropriate lesson plans from BEEP and a brief description of the top three Nine High Yield Strategies (9HYS): Similarities and Differences, Summarizing and Note Taking, and Reinforcing Effort & Providing Recognition.
Make copies of the lesson plans and the top 3HYS and bring them to the meeting.

Procedures for activity:
1. Brainstorm with the whole group, the components of an effective standard-based lesson plan.
2. Next, if you have a large-group divide them in to small mixed teams of four to five ICs and NEs.
3. Next distribute the lesson plans and a copy of the 3HYS.
4. Direct the teams to examine the lesson plans to identify the components of an effective lesson they identified earlier and to identify any of the top 3HYS that were incorporated in the lesson plan.
5. If there is no evidence of the 3HYS, where could one be added to increase the effectiveness of the lesson plan?
6. Share out team discussion.
