Boost School Achievement with POWERFUL Visuals: S2 E4
In this episode of Tier 1 Interventions, we explore pattern recognition and its critical role in enhancing student learning. This is part two of a three-part series based on Tier 1 Interventions Workshops held on the third Saturday of the month throughout the school year. The discussion focuses on pattern recognition's second and third steps: reinforcement and recall.
Watch Step One: https://youtu.be/CP4k7_DYbg0?si=YAbc72YjeVIMPesO
Stay Tuned for Part 3
Pattern Recognition transforms classroom instructional delivery when done using the student's perspective. The episode explores how teaching students to recognize and recall patterns can significantly improve their cognitive abilities and lead to higher school achievement.

Transforming Math Instruction Using a SIMPLE Counting Problem: S2 E6
Responsive Teaching Segment 3
In this Tier 1 Interventions podcast episode, Jonily Zupancic and Cheri Dotterer dive into the transformative power of the Locker Problem for math instruction. They discuss how pattern recognition, interleaving, and experiential learning can unlock students' mathematical thinking and improve retention. The hosts explore how this task can be adapted for all students, including those with manual dexterity challenges, and emphasize the importance of repeated interactions in developing long-term understanding. Cheri also reveals exciting new teaching tools and a holiday-themed subscription box to help students and teachers thrive.
