In our pursuit of fostering innovation within our classrooms, we are excited to introduce the idea of "Let's Try It" classrooms. We want to bring the success of our innovative programs in Barrington 220 into our classrooms.
Educational thought leaders like Dan Meyer advocate for creating environments where students and teachers feel safe to explore and experiment with concepts. In his discussion on "Creating 'Let's Try It' Classrooms," Meyer emphasizes the importance of nurturing a classroom culture that values diverse thinking and encourages students to engage deeply with material. We want our teachers to share this feeling of support for new ideas, too!
We see two pathways for getting started with Let's Try It classrooms. First, we will share an idea through these blog posts and offer for teachers to apply to try it. Second, we would love to hear from you! If you have an idea for a new instructional strategy or technology, let us know and we will work together to try it.
Our first Let's Try It classroom opportunity features Snorkl, an AI-driven platform that provides instant feedback on students' verbal and visual explanations. Snorkl empowers students to make their metacognition audible, promoting deeper understanding, and engagement. Teachers gain valuable insights into student thinking, allowing for more targeted instruction. Here is last month's article about Snorkl.
We invite you to participate in this initiative by integrating Snorkl into your teaching practices. To get started or propose your own Let's Try It classroom idea, please email me at jjrobinson@barrington220.org.
