Does the gradual release model belong in math class?

In this episode, I'm going to argue that we do the opposite of the "I Do, We Do, You Do" instructional approach in math. Instead, I am going to walk you through teaching practices I've used to create equitable, student-centered math classes that empower students to BE mathematicians.

We are talking about: 

• What the GRR model is
• The math research says
• How to flip the GRR model (independent work ➡️  providing support as students remain in the lead ➡️  share ideas ➡️  summarize learning)

My favorite books mentioned in this episode:

• 📗Adding it Up 
• 📘Children’s Mathematics Cognitively Guided Instruction  
• 📙Principles to Action: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All 
• 📕5 Practices for Orchestrating Math Discussions
