Lab Rotation
with Gary Peterson
Module A
What is Lab rotation and how can it help me meet the goals of our school?
December 15, 3:00-4:00 p.m.
Join EASTCONN education specialist Gary Petersen in an asynchronous workshop that will be a quick pragmatic introduction to the Lab Rotation and for whom it might be applicable. The course is a guided discussion with tips on planning and value of this model including the ease of setting it up within your existing structures, the call for students independence and possibility of use as a strong assessment tool and collaboration tool among your students. This model is tethered to the use of a computer lab in the classroom or school, elements can be transferred to many other models. Join us in our first conversation before you head off to your own ‘lab rotation’ planning and implementing your own Lab Rotation. The webinar materials are posted here for anyone who was unable to attend the live event.
Module B
Setting up the lab rotation and getting the most from the model while you differentiate, assess and create pathways to your students independence.
This asynchronous course will assist you in imagining your own uses of the lab rotation. Provided will be examples of planning tools, models and questions that will prompt you to think around the uses of the model to assist in differentiation, gather data, and provide collaboration among your students.
Module C
