Activity
Accountability Tracker Walkthrough
Purpose: Give teachers a hands-on experience with the Accountability Tracker Template so they feel confident recording, reviewing, and acting on lesson-delivery data.
Materials:
- Projected or printed copies of the Accountability Tracker Template
- Sample CCGI lesson schedule or list of upcoming lessons
- Pens/highlighters or digital access to edit the template
1. Quick Demo (3 minutes)
- Project the template so everyone can see all columns: Date, Lesson Title/ID, Completed (✔/✖), Notes.
- Model entering one or two sample lessons:
- Choose a recent lesson date and title.
- Check “Completed” if taught; leave blank if skipped.
- In “Notes,” jot down a quick observation (e.g., “Students struggled with Q3,” or “Finished early—added extension.”).
- Narrate your thought process: “I record this each morning so I can spot trends over the week.”
2. Guided Practice (10 minutes)
- Distribute printed or digital trackers—each teacher gets a blank week’s worth of rows.
- Give teachers 2–3 minutes to fill in:
- Today’s date and any recent CCGI lesson they taught.
- Completion status and one note about student understanding or pacing.
- Pair up with a neighbor and swap trackers: 2 minutes to review each other’s entries and offer one suggestion for improving note detail (e.g., “Could specify which question was tricky”).
Teacher Prompt:
- “What kind of note helps you decide if you need to reteach that lesson?”
- “How could you use this tracker to identify if multiple lessons had the same challenge?”
3. Data Review Simulation (7 minutes)
- Ask two volunteers to share a tracker entry and explain how they would use that data. For example:
- “I noticed three lessons in a row marked incomplete—so I’ll plan a review session next week.”
- Facilitate discussion:
- How often should a teacher review their tracker? (Daily check, weekly summary)
- Who else on the team could help monitor data (co-teacher, instructional coach, student leadership team)?
Follow-Up Questions:
- “What patterns in your tracker would trigger an instructional change?”
- “How might you share tracker highlights with students or families to celebrate consistency?”
4. Reflection & Action Steps (5 minutes)
- Individually, teachers write a short plan: “On ___ day(s) each week, I will update and review my tracker in this way…”
- Provide space for a one-sentence commitment:
- Provide space for a one-sentence commitment:
- Ask teachers to post or email their commitment to the group chat for accountability.
- Close by reminding everyone where to find the template and who to contact with questions.
Next Steps:
- Begin using the tracker the next school day.
- Plan a quick check-in in two weeks to share successes and challenges.
Ready to streamline your CCGI lesson follow-up? Keep the tracker open and make it part of your daily routine!

- Ask teachers to draft or refine two to three prompts in a shared document:
- Provide support on wording and length
- Encourage alignment with lesson objectives
Teacher Prompt:
- “What question will give you the clearest insight into student understanding?”
- “How can you phrase questions to invite honest feedback?”
2. Configuring Form Settings (5 minutes)
- Demonstrate key settings:
- Collecting student email or name for follow-up
- Limiting responses (one per student per period)
- Setting required vs. optional questions
- Show how to view and organize responses in a linked spreadsheet:
- Create headers for date, student name, responses
- Set up automatic timestamping
Follow-Up Question:
- “Which settings will help you balance data collection and student privacy?”
3. Deployment & Student Onboarding (7 minutes)
- Decide on launch method:
- Embed form in your LMS or class webpage
- Share via email or class chat with a clear schedule
- QR code poster for quick access in the classroom
- Draft a brief student script:
- Explain purpose: “Your reflections help us adjust lessons.”
- Model how to open and complete the form in one minute
- Role-play with a partner:
- One teacher acts as student, the other introduces the form
Teacher Prompt:
- “How will you motivate students to complete this honestly every time?”
4. Monitoring Responses & Follow-Up (5 minutes)
- Show teachers how to filter and sort responses in the spreadsheet:
- Identify common themes or recurring questions
- Flag entries that need one-on-one follow-up
- Establish a review schedule:
- Daily skim for urgent issues
- Weekly trend analysis in your PLC
- Plan your response strategy:
- Whole-class mini-lesson for common gaps
- Individual check-ins for targeted support
Next Steps:
- Teachers set up and share their customized form link by end of day.
- Post-launch, collect initial student submissions and review at your next team meeting.
- Adjust prompts or incentives based on student engagement data.

Game
CCGI Incentive Brainstorm Challenge
Objective:
Turn the process of designing student incentives into a fast-paced, collaborative game. Teachers will generate, share, and vote on creative incentive ideas—then adapt the winning concepts for immediate classroom use.
Time: 10 minutes
Materials:
- Sticky notes or index cards (3 per participant)
- Markers or pens
- Poster paper or whiteboard space
- Dot stickers or colored markers for voting
- Student Incentive System Guide for inspiration
Setup (2 minutes)
- Divide teachers into small teams (3–4 people each).
- Give each teacher three sticky notes or index cards and a marker.
- Assign each team a section of wall or poster paper to display ideas.
Game Play (6 minutes)
- Idea Sprint (3 minutes):
- On each sticky note, write one incentive idea—no repeats!
- Encourage a mix of digital (badges, certificates) and in-class (points, privileges) incentives.
- Reference the Student Incentive System Guide to spark fresh variations.
- Gallery Walk & Voting (3 minutes):
- Teams post their sticky notes on their poster area.
- Each group rotates clockwise to view the other teams’ ideas.
- During the rotation, every teacher gets two dot stickers (or colored markers) to vote for their favorite ideas. They may place both votes on one idea or split them among two.
Debrief & Next Steps (2 minutes)
- Reveal Winners:
- Tally the dots for each idea. Identify the top 2–3 incentives.
- Ask the original teams to briefly explain how their winning ideas would look in practice.
- Refinement:
- Capture the top ideas on the board, then discuss:
- Which incentives align best with your students’ interests?
- How will you track and celebrate student progress (e.g., through the Accountability Tracker Template or Digital Check-In Form)?
- When and how will you launch these incentives in your classroom?
- Capture the top ideas on the board, then discuss:
- Integration:
- Invite each teacher to jot down one “commitment step” on the CCGI Implementation Planning Worksheet under “3. Student Incentive System Design.”
- Encourage sharing commitments in your team chat for mutual accountability.
Outcome: A rapid collection of practical, teacher-vetted incentive ideas—ready to be implemented and tracked for boosting CCGI lesson engagement. Good luck, and may the best incentive win!
