Review at the Loo

In the past few years, many people have been promoting "Potty PD," or quick items for professional learning that can be shared in places where teachers have to wait (i.e. outside the bathroom or next to the copy machine). 

A teacher at Thursday's LEARN book club for The Six Shifts (about the practicalities of implementing instruction based in the science of reading) shared a similar idea, but for students.

Essentially, she shared that teachers use the time waiting outside the bathroom for classmates to have their turn as a time to play review games for phonics, math facts, etc. She shared that this improved student behavior and made this time academically enriching.
