Bridge to Practice
The purpose of this bridge to practice is for you to continue to use a high-level comprehension task, a quick write to essay task, or an analysis task as a Test of Change.
To complete this bridge to practice, do the following:
Continue to work with your improvement team to draft a high-level task in response to the next text that you'll be working with in the curriculum. If you need support working as a team to plan the task, this document might serve as a useful resource. Remember, even if you are planning for an analysis task, you should still begin with comprehension.
Then, work with your school improvement team to decide how you’ll study the enactment of the task (will you look at student work? Will you use exit slips?).
Use your task with students and collect a sample of student work.
Finally, come back together with your improvement team to study the student work and decide next steps (Adapt, Adopt, Abandon!).
Please be prepared to share how this work went when we meet together on November 11th.
