DB #6: Chapter 3 & the 3-2-1 Strategy

Discuss the pros and cons of using the 3 – 2 – 1 strategy. Be sure to address the ‘why’ and ‘how’ not just the ‘what’. Go back and review Chapter 3 comments in order to take ideas/concepts presented in the chapter to a more in depth discussion. What did you learn about Behaviorism? What does it look like in a classroom? What would be some alternatives for a ‘behaviorism’ activity in a classroom? Make sure your opinions are grounded in research, not simply because it’s familiar and comfortable.

Additionally, discuss how you could incorporate the 3-2-1 strategy as a formative assessment in your own classroom.
