The purpose of forming a study group around the principles in this book is so that you can create a support network where you all work together to analyze and improve your current classroom practice and ultimately make a rich and rigorous curriculum accessible to all students. By engaging in ongoing cycles of questions about your own teaching practices and the impact that these practices have on student performance, you will refine your own teaching practice and make better decisions about what you teach, how you teach it, how you determine whether students have learned it, and how you will respond as a teacher and as a team of teachers when students experience difficulty learning it.
When you are creating your study group, in addition to working through the study group questions found on the companion Web site (www.masterteachermindset.com), it is important to consider the following questions:
- What do we want to learn?
- How will we know when we have learned it?
- How will we respond as a group when one of us is experiencing difficulty?
Your answers to these questions will form the foundation of your study group and allow you to work together more effectively.
