ICEPs
Instructional Conversations for Equitable Participation (ICEPs) build on the Instructional Conversation Standard. ICEPs are Instructional Conversations that foster meaningful participation by being collaborative and connected to students’ prior knowledge and everyday experiences. These classroom videos were recorded as part of the Kuhikuhina Kaulike ICEP Project.
