Alan November and his November Learning Team have created an amazing series based on the First Five Days of School. I have had the pleasure of attending several of Alan’s keynotes and workshops. He is an inspiration. I have learned a great deal from him.

This is the second post in the series of what I learned from the November Learning Team regarding the first Five Days.

In this second video, educators build off of the first day, and begin to talk about specific strategies to “knowing” about their students. There are many great takeaways. Check out the video and see what I learned.

First 5 Days: Day 2 from ALAS Media on Vimeo.

This video begins with a teacher discussing a theme or groups of themes to help students connect their learning. It is during the second day where you begin to provide choices for the students to express themselves. There are also times that you can build the collaboration needed for an enhanced learning environment.
