Chapter 6: Whole-Class Instruction

  • Whole group CAFE lessons are driven by assessments, one-on-one conferring, and small-group observations (p.89). The goal is to plan whole-group lessons around skills and strategies that a majority of our students need assistance with. What strategies do you think will be most beneficial for whole-group instruction in your classroom?
  • Review the whole-class lesson elements (p.95-97). How does this compare with the way you have taught whole-group lessons? How can you integrate these elements into your future teaching practice?
