Moving to another school or even a different classroom in the same school can spark a renewed sense of purpose. Moving can also force us to trim our collections of materials or resources, get more organized, or even use more technology! Look at a move as an opportunity rather than the hassle that it is and you will be settled sooner than you think! Good luck!
This protocol is wonderful and it involves students moving. Take a look:
STAND-SEEK-SPEAK (Collaboration, Feedback, Discussion, Questioning)
Description: This protocol allows students to think individually before thinking and explaining together.
Application: Use this activity to practice a concept just taught or as a review. It can be used in a mathematics course.
Process: Create a set of questions. Ask first question, requiring students to answer it on their own. (Give them a time limit, depending on the difficulty of the question.) Once time is called, ask all students to stand. Direct them to raise their hands when they have found a partner and assist students that still need a partner. Have partners discuss their answer(s) to each other or help solve if the problem was unfinished. Instruct students to stay where they are to solve the next question and to find a new partner, repeating the process until all questions have been asked and answered.
