Description

According to Daniel Brillhard of J Taylor Education, the only wrong way to introduce the Depth and Complexity icons into your classroom is to choose not to introduce them.

In this interactive course, Mr. Brillhard provides an in-depth look at one of the easiest ways to introduce the icons: through Depth and Complexity frames.

By the end of this one-hour course, you’ll have a clear understanding of the following:

  • How to introduce Depth and Complexity frames to your students

  • The two basic types of frames and how to use them
  • The two steps you need to know when using frames
  • How to adapt the frames to meet the needs of your students, including as a tool for differentiation
  • How to use the frames to create “iconic pathways” where one icon leads to another

  1. Danielle – MIAMI EAST LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Icons are an easy idea to implement to differentiate in the classroom.

  2. Brooke – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was great at introducing several strategies to incorporate the Depth and Complexity icons and frames into any classroom. I appreciate that we were given several ways to use the strategies and the opportunity to practice using them ourselves.

  3. Becky – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –

    ery informative

  4. April – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –

    I thought the examples of how to use the frames were very helpful and can be adapted to use in lower grades as well.

  5. Lisa – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner) –

    It was relevant and something I plan on using in the classroom. However, I would have liked it if they explained the icons in detail first, unless this was a continuation of another course. It is definitely helpful when differentiating.

  6. Ryan – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –

    This was pretty interesting. I didn’t know what the icons were when this started so I had to google it. But once I knew what he was talking about, I thought this could be an interesting exercise to do in class

  7. Sharon – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    This course is better for elementary teachers.

  8. Henry – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    Great course to learn about frames

  9. Brandee – BOERNE ISD (verified owner) –
