This is the Communication Tower
When green is on top, students are working on their own successfully...
yellow on top means the group has convened together to work out a snag...
and when red is on top, the team is needing teacher assistance.
This is a great tool for monitoring group work.
Moving forward is a good thing. If you don't move, you become stagnant. If you become stagnant, you smell. (I'm going with a creek bed analogy here...stay with me). "It Is What It Is" helps us to keep our sanity as we try new things, but at the same time we should never settle for "what it is". We should constantly reflect and learn to move our teaching and our student's learning to higher levels so the classroom doesn't turn stale.
