Plan for breakout session:
== ·  First, interns will reflect on what they have learned so far with a //quickwrite//. (This quickwrite should be completed in the conference program.) – 2 – 3 minutes == == ·  Next, (Think-Pair-Share) interns should pair up and discuss reflections and select one person from each pair to report out to the larger group – (During this time, select a scribe to copy the reflection responses on a white board or sheet of flipchart paper – keep these responses posted). – 10 minutes all together == == ·  Instructors will then review the INCLUDE strategy and facilitate a discussion on the INCLUDE strategy. During this time, instructors should pass out the INCLUDE strategy chart == == o  Championing student strengths == == o  Understanding student needs == == o  Collaboration with other professionals == == ·  Instructors should also remind interns that specific accommodations are addressed in Ch. 9 of the Friend and Bursuck readings and will be covered in more detail during Week 3 and 4 of the course. – (22 minutes in all) == == ·  Finally, each breakout session should have one intern summarize what your breakout session was about and what was learned as a group. Go back to the responses on the white board and then have an intern summarize the reflections/discussion with the following prompts: == == o  The TML Metacognitive Moment: == == o  What did we learn that we can use today? == == o  What did we learn that we can use in a month (need a little more teaching/experience with)? == == o  What did we learn that will last a lifetime? ==
