Session Description

Too many teachers suffer from having access to too many resources. It gets tempting to use one rich task after another where despite our efforts, the content in the tasks don’t flow and connect naturally. Scott and Kristyn will introduce you to their process for developing sequences of challenging tasks that fit with the High Impact Teaching Strategies and maximise their potential for student learning growth. They unpack an initial rich task to: * List potential foci for explicit teaching * Anticipate student misconceptions and strategies for teacher responses * Plan differentiation using enabling and extending prompts They then use this information to choose suitable challenging tasks to develop sequences of learning that build from the initial task and flow through one another to allow students multiple exposures to essential content. Participants will see how a sequence is put together by experiencing the tasks in a successful sequence of learning.

Key takeaways:
1. What a high-quality sequence of challenging tasks looks like.
2. How we plan sequences of challenging tasks from an initial rich task that cater to the High Impact Teaching Strategies.
3. The importance of sequencing challenging tasks for students to connect learning and strategies in different contexts.
