The Sandwich Strategy: No Matter How You Slice It, Analyzing Student Work Together Improves Math Instruction
Gibbons, Lynsey K.; Lewis, Rebecca M.; Batista, Lisa Nguyen
Journal of Staff Development, v37 n3 p14-18, 37 Jun 2016
Teachers are regularly asked to use data to inform their instruction. In the past, teachers examined student work in isolation. Now, however, teachers increasingly have dedicated meeting times. So how can teachers collaboratively examine student work and use their findings to improve instruction? In this article, a team of teachers at Hilltop Elementary School in the Pacific Northwest demonstrates the power of collaborative analysis of student work as teachers and school leaders use student work to guide their instructional decisions and support their professional learning about teaching mathematics. How can six students share eight sandwiches equally? The team of teachers use students' responses to this question to guide their instructional decisions and support their professional learning about teaching mathematics.
