Protocol for Longfellow Slice

0

The purpose of the Longfellow Slice is to look at student work across classrooms and grade levels in order to gain new insights and perspectives on teaching and learning. The process is framed by guiding questions developed by the staff (See Sample Sets of Questions for School/Grade Level Slice). A representative sample of student work is collected over a specific period of time. Student and teacher names are omitted from all work.

This protocol is a variation of the Vertical Slice, the Minnesota Slice, the Albuquerque Slice and the Day In The Life South Bend and Hempstead Slices. The Vertical Slice originated in the work of the Bush Educational Leaders Program at the University of Minnesota. The Albuquerque Slice was created by school coaches from the National School Reform Faculty of the Annenberg Institute for the 1996 Fall Forum of the Coalition of Essential Schools.
