Test 1 (CH1-4) Reversed Flashcards
Reject Self-Report
Replace functionally rhetorical questions with more objective forms of impromptu assessment
Targeted Questioning
Ask a quick series of carefully chosen, open-ended questions directed at a strategic sample of the class and executed in a short time period.
Standardize the Format
Streamline observations by designing materials and space so that you’re looking in the same, consistent place every time for the data you need.
Tracking, not Watching
Be intentional about how you scan your classroom. Decide specifically what you’re looking for and remain disciplined about it in the face of distrations.
Show Me
Flip the classroom dynamic in which the teacher gleans data from a passive group of students. Have students actively show evidence of their understanding.
Affirmative Checking
Insert specific points into your lesson when students must get confirmation that their work is correct, productive, or sufficiently rigorous before moving on to the next stage.
Plan for Error
Increase the likelihood that you’ll recognize and respond to errors by planning for common mistakes in advance.
Culture of Error
Create an environment where your students feel safe making and discussing mistakes, so you can spend less time hunting for errors and more time fixing them.
Excavate Error
Dig into errors, studying them efficiently and effectively, to better understand where students struggle and how you can best address those points.
Own and Track
Have students correct or revise their own work, fostering an environment of accountability for the correct answer
No Opt Out
Turn “I don’t know” into success by ensuring that students who won’t try or can’t answer practice getting it right.
Right is Right
When you respond to answers in class, hold out for answers that are “all-the-way right” or all the way to your standards of rigor.
Stretch It
Reward “right” answers with harder questions.
Format Matters
Help your students practice responding in a format that communicates the worthiness of their ideas.
Without Apology
Embrace - rather than apologize - rigorous content, academic challenge, and the hard work necessary to scholarship.
