It maximizes student work and practice time, focusing on practice, growth, and reflection while minimizing the amount of time the teacher spends in the front of the classroom. The first stage on the Workshop Model is when mini-lessons and any whole group direct instruction takes place.
This is also when any new skills necessary to complete the project may be introduced. Later in the unit, students may be provided a mini-lesson on area and perimeter in order to launch their garden design plans. The teacher may present a series of mini-lessons on letter writing, prompting the students the write, edit, and revise persuasive letters presenting their proposals to the school board or principal.
During the Composing Stage, students should be set forth to work in groups, partnerships, or individually, to practice the skills and concepts introduced during the mini lesson, while the teacher circulates to monitor for misconceptions, pull small groups and workshops, work with an individual student, or conduct quick formative assessments, or assessments in small groups.
The teacher may use formative assessments from the previous class period to pull small groups or conduct personalized workshops during this time. This part of the class period can take many forms.

Examples of the structure Example A Traditionally, the time allocation for teaching literacy using the workshop approach is minutes per school day, which is demonstrated with Example A of the workshop model. Example B However, given the importance of establishing early literacy knowledge and skills, components within, this approach can be expanded to go beyond the daily minutes through the purposeful links to literacy across the curriculum such as an inquiry unit.
Co n t ext The workshop approach can be used by Foundation to Year Two teachers to explicitly teach a new literacy concept or skill. The workshop approach can be used to teach literacy skills, concepts and conventions such as: oracy skills including the: physical, linguistic, cognitive and the social and emotional Mercer, This particular video shows how to effectively introduce new reading work stations to students. Answer the questions on your handout.
How would you apply this in your own classroom? Flexible Grouping. Assess and Group www. How to assess students before building groups. Setting a framework for students regarding what outcomes are expected during group work.
Important Note about Grouping. You can't forget the whole process of grouping students to work together. Here are some strategies for grouping students: 1. Set group norms or rules. Keep it flexible. Students may need to transitioln in and out of groups. What if a student wants to work alone? Teachers assigned groups vs. Add teacher conferencing station after groups have been established. Catch and Release. What is Catch and Release? What: Catch and Release is when you "check in" with students doing work station time.
Let's start creating our stations. Timesaving TIP: Name your stations something general. The Workshop Model asks students to take charge of their own learning, becoming active and engaged in their work and development of understanding. Using workshop allows teachers to be actively engaged with students individually or with small groups, facilitating and assisting in that understanding, while also providing individualized support.
Students who are engaged in the workshop model are actively learning the material and concepts they need to master throughout the year. Components of the Workshop Model. What do these components look like? In my second grade classroom, we use the workshop model for everything!
And, yes, my students work for 60 minutes independently — no joke! It took us a while to get here! The Gradual Release of Responsibility. You would gradually release responsibility to your students based on their needs and abilities. I love this graphic by Amanda Nickerson that shows what this gradual release might look like. I know what you are thinking. But let me just get you thinking for a minute. Your students rotate to five different stations during both Reading and Math, and it takes them two minutes to transition.
In the small scheme of things, that 20 minutes may not seem like a lot, but imagine what you can do with that 20 minutes. For me that would be two quality reading conferences in reading and a small group lesson with my high kids in math. Also imagine how much time that adds up to in one whole school year…3, minutes! Here are some other reasons why this structure is beneficial. This mostly pertains to the preparation part of planning.
