Have You Seen Our New Slide Decks?

by Stephen Fleenor • last updated June 10, 2026 by Stephen Fleenor

You'll be noticing that we've made some changes to our slide decks! This is in response to the feedback we received in our 2025-2026 evaluation, which helped us make the slide decks more intuitive and clear.

Here are the changes we've made:

Provided a table of contents with jump-to links and explainer videos
Added a how-to slide for structured conversations, with a clear, color-coded script
Consolidated our objectives review activity onto one slide
Enhanced our structured inquiry activity with the QECR (Question-Evidence-Claim-Reasoning) framework
Moved our printable word wall visuals to the end of the slide deck for a more intuitive lesson sequence

Check out these changes - and please let us know your thoughts! The VNG is a great resource because educators like you make it great!
