Test 3 (Ch 5-8)

Use a short warm-up activity that students can complete without instruction or direction from you to start class every day. This lets the learning start even before you begin teaching.

Question 2

Name the Steps

Answer 2

Break down complex tasks into steps that form a path for student mastery.

Question 3

Board = Paper

Answer 3

Model and shape how students should take notes in order to capture information you present.

Question 4

Control the Game

Answer 4

Ask students to read aloud frequently, but manage the process to ensure expressiveness, accountability, and engagement.

Question 5

Circulate

Answer 5

Move strategically around the room during all parts of the lesson.

Question 6

At Bats

Answer 6

Because succeeding once or twice at a skill won’t bring mastery, give your students lots and lots of practice mastering knowledge or skills.

Question 7

Exit Ticket

Answer 7

End each class with an explicit assessment of your objective that you can use to evaluate your (and your students’) success.

Question 8

Change the Pace

Answer 8

Establish a productive pace in your classroom. Create “fast” or “slow” movements in a lesson by shifting activity types or formats.

Question 9

Brighten Lines

Answer 9

Ensure that changes in activities and other mileposts are perceived clearly by making beginnings and endings of activities visible and crisp.

Question 10

All Hands

Answer 10

Leverage hand raising to positively impact pacing. Manage and vary the ways that students raise their hands, as well as the methods you use to call on them.

Question 11

Work the Clock

Answer 11

Measure time - your greatest resource as a teacher - intentionally, strategically, and often visibly to shape both your and your students’ experience in the classroom.

Question 12

Every Minute Matters

Answer 12

Respect students’ time by spending every minute productively.

Question 13

Wait Time

Answer 13

Allow students time to think before answering. If they aren’t productive with that time, narrate them toward being more productive.

Question 14

Cold Call

Answer 14

Call on students regardless of whether they’ve raised their hands.

Question 15

Call and Response

Answer 15

Ask your class to answer questions in unison from time to time to build energetic, positive engagement.

Question 16

Break it Down

Answer 16

When a student makes an error, provide just enough help to allow her to “solve” as much of the original problem as she can.

Question 17

Pepper

Answer 17

Use Pepper as a fast-paced, vocal review to build energy and actively engage your class.

Question 18

Everybody Writes

Answer 18

Prepare your students to engage rigorously by giving them the chance to reflect in writing before you ask them to discuss.

Question 19

Art of the Sentence

Answer 19

Ask students to synthesize a complex idea in a single, well-crafted sentence. The discipline of having to make one sentence do all the work pushes students to use new syntactical forms.

Question 20

Show Call

Answer 20

Create a strong incentive to complete writing with quality and thoughtfulness by publicly showing and revising student writing - regardless of who volunteers to share.

Question 21

Build Stamina

Answer 21

Gradually increase writing time to develop in your students the habit of writing productively, and the ability to do it for sustained periods of time.

Question 22

Front the Writing

Answer 22

Arrange lessons so that writing comes earlier in the process to ensure that students think rigorously in writing.
