THE VIDEOS PROVIDE A WINDOW INTO A CLASSROOM WHERE HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES ARE BEING USED.  HOWEVER, IT WOULD BE SO HELPFUL IF THE STUDENTS IN THE VIDEOS WERE MORE DIVERSE. A CHALLENGE THAT WE OFTEN FACE WITH TEACHERS IS MOVING BEYOND "THIS KIND OF TEACHING" WILL NOT WORK WITH MY STUDENTS. I WAS LOOKING FOR A VIDEO TO USE WITH MY KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS BUT HAVE DECIDED THIS WILL NOT WORK OF MY GROUP OF TEACHERS SINCE OUR STUDENT POPULATIONS IS VERY DIVERSE.

Please do not assume that this talk routine "will not work" with your students because your "student populations is very diverse." I am not sure what makes you say this, but I have worked my entire career with very diverse students in New York City and this routine works very well. Try it, videotape it so that you have an objective way to reflect on it later (so your feelings and assumptions don't make you think it "didn't work.") Then as in all lessons, adjust and do it again. The goal of such a routine is to 1. engage all students in the thinking and talking, not just the 3 or 4 students who like to answer the teacher's questions; 2. to make thinking visible and audible to all students; 3. to normalize noticing and wondering as the first step in thinking and learning -- not to normalize getting the right anwer on the first try; 4. to develop student independence and thinking routines and agency.
