Interesting ideas!

Unless I missed this direction, it would be helpful to have access to the icons (he had them posted in the “live” session) to refer to throughout the session.

I think this would be excellent for elementary school teachers, or for English, science, or social studies teachers. It can work in math, but realistically, I think there would be fewer applications.

Luke – PARKWAY LOCAL (verified owner) – February 27, 2023

I think it has alot of value in the class. Unfortunately I am completely new to the idea and do not know what the “Icons” are. I would like to see more on the icons and how I can introduce them to my class. I think it would be hard at this point in the year to just give them a frame and a quick intro and expect them to be able to do it.

Great explanation of depth and complexity frames and ideas of how to use those frames in all content areas. Also how to differentiate to meet all student needs.

I liked how the concept of different ways to use the frames can be done in a classroom.
