Cognitively Guided Instruction encourages teachers to understand how children think about mathematics by letting them build understanding from within.	A supportive learning environment builds ownership and excitement for learning.	Allow students to use manipulatives when solving problems.
		Set up a classroom to invite students to share how they solved their problem to the class.
		Encourage students to share their strategies with each other while solving problems.
	Stage 1 (identify learning results) helps to be clear about what I want my students to understand, know and do within a unit of study.	Identify a variety of problem types that connect with the Essential Units of Study.

		Anticipate children's solution strategies for various problem types.

	Stage 2 (determine evidence) helps to be clear about the key criteria used to assess what we want students to understand, know and do.	Set quality criteria using the problem-solving rubric, quality standard, flow chart and/or checklist.
		Let students check their work with each other when solving problems.


	Stage 3 (learning plan) helps map out a learning plan for all students to be successful.	Use questioning to understand how students solve problems.
		Select number choices and problem types based on student readiness level.

	Communication with others is essential to team success. "There's no I in team!"	Collaborate with colleagues to develop my action plan for learning.

		I can learn from my colleagues, students, and experiences while having a positive attitude!
