Gradual+Release+of+Responsibility+Model

=I do it, we do it, you do it!=

The GRRM or Gradual Release of Responsibility Model is best summed in the caption above. When working with teachers, especially young teachers consider using this tool. It may be used in a day, or over the course of a week or two. Here it is in more detail: Teacher Observes Coach

Teacher Teaches without Coach

An Example:

I recently coached a few teachers who were new to the lap-top cart. During 1st block (40 minutes) I taught the students the rules of cart deployment and computer use. I repeated the lesson with the next class. The next two classes we taught together. The fifth class I asked the teacher to teach. I left the room for the seventh class. Simple but effective! Gradually releasing the responsibility! This is also very effective when working with collegiate student teachers.
