Personalized Practice & Intervention
Step 1
Whole Group Instruction
Option 1: Synchronous Approach
Students learn best when they have human interactions with their teachers. While learning moves online, human interactions don’t need to disappear—we can preserve them with video conferencing tools. Use your favorite program to share your screen and walk your students through the ChalkTalk-generated instructional slides.Option 2: Asynchronous Approach
ChalkTalk creates an adaptive scope & sequence based on the schedule that you set for it (e.g. “Mondays & Fridays for 1 hour a day for 15 weeks”). Ask your students to follow the schedule you set for them to learn these instructional materials on their own at home. Track their progress from your teacher dashboard.
Step 2
Small Group Activities
Option 1: Synchronous Approach
Have students attempt the ChalkTalk group activities individually at the end of the teacher-led lesson slides piece. Next, if your video conferencing software supports “breakout rooms,” ask your students to group themselves in pairs or groups of 3 and discuss their answers with each other. Finally, review the ChalkTalk-generated answer key with the entire class as a group.Option 2: Asynchronous Approach
Ask students to complete the ChalkTalk group activity as individual practice, each at their own pace.
Step 3
Individual Personalized Practice
Asynchronous Approach
This one is easy! Students complete this work individually and teachers have the power to track student activity afterward. Practice is adaptive and individualized for every student so there is no synchronous implementation for this step.
