    Skills Training

    Phrasal verb is the name given to an English verb which is composed of two or three words. One verb is combined with a preposition (like on, in, under) or an adverb (like up, down, away). Sometimes a phrasal verb can have a meaning that is very different to the meaning of at least one of those two or three words separately. 
    Here are some examples:
    • Maria didn't know the word, so she looked it up in the dictionary.
    • Oh no, we've run out of milk! I'll have to buy some more.
    • Farmers have to get up early in the morning.
    • The rocket took off with a loud roar.

    Skills Training - Collocations
    A collocation is made up of two or more words that are commonly used together in English. Think of collocations as words that usually go together. There are different kinds of collocations in English. Strong collocations are word pairings that are expected to come together, such as 'make a cup of tea' or 'do your homework'.

    20% Time


    The History of 20-Time:

    3M started it in the 1950's with their 15% Project.  The result? Post-its and masking tape. Google is credited for making the 20% Project what it is today.  Google asks its employees to spend 20% of their time at Google to work on a pet project...a project that their job description doesn't cover.  As a result of the 20% Project at Google, we now have Gmail, AdSense, Google News, and my favorite, the Google Teacher Academy. Using 20 Time in the workplace allows innovative ideas and projects to flourish and/or fail without the bureaucracy of committees and budgets.


    What Are the Options?

    20% Project: A lot of time has been spent with both success and failures to mold the 20% Project template series above.  If you'd like a structured template for instituting 20-Time in your classroom, the 20% Project is for you. Check out the 20% Project writeup, the 20% Project Template Series, and the 20% Project Community. For an in-depth guide on integrating 20-Time in your class- Kevin Brookhouser's 20Time Project is a must read.

    Genius Hour: For those not ready for a commitment (teachers or students) try Genius Hour. Students search a different topic each week with a few informal presentations at the end of the hour.

    Extrinsic-Intrinsic Motivation


     Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Lessons (POGIL)

    POGIL is an acronym for Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning. Because POGIL is a student-centered instructional approach, in a typical POGIL classroom or laboratory, students work in small teams with the instructor acting as a facilitator. The student teams use specially designed activities that generally follow a learning cycle paradigm. These activities are designed to have three key characteristics:
    • They are designed for use with self-managed teams that employ the instructor as a facilitator of learning rather than a source of information.
    • They guide students through an exploration to construct understanding.
    • They use discipline content to facilitate the development of important process skills, including higher-level thinking and the ability to learn and to apply knowledge in new contexts.
