Toni Rose is joined by Brittney Cairns to talk about teaching whole-class novels using MCP. Show Notes Get to know Brittney Kareem on the Cult of Pedagogy podcast: Everything you need to know about building a great screencast video How to create a self-paced classroom Setting up mastery-based grading in your classroom Planning for teaching whole-class novels Blended learning approaches to whole-class novels Self-pacing and whole-class novels Auto-updating progress tracker template Parlay Ideas (you guessed it) Mastery-based learning and whole-class novels Edpuzzle Intermission: Feedback on displaying many names on a pacing tracker Erin's tracker template (names displayed horizontally) Erin's tracker explainer Craig's tracker - a spreadsheet with formulas to move students' names automatically Note from Zach - try making a copy of this one and mess around with it. You'll see the magic happen when you give student an "x" on a lesson. Do note that, when everyone is on lesson 1, the names still display in a very long list that may be longer than the screen. However, as students make progress and spread across two or three lessons, the columns of names get shorter and should fit on screen.
