Exit Slips | Classroom Strategies Classroom Strategies Download a Graphic Organizer Word Doc (122 KB)PDF (153 KB) Background The Exit-Slip strategy requires students to write responses to questions you pose at the end of class. There are three categories of exit slips (Fisher & Frey, 2004): Prompts that document learning, Ex. Other exit prompts include: I would like to learn more about…Please explain more about…The most important thing I learned today is…The thing that surprised me the most today was…I wish… Benefits Exit Slips are great because they take just a few minutes and provide you with an informal measure of how well your students have understood a topic or lesson. Create and use the strategy References Fisher, D., and Frey, N. (2004).
About DLM Tests | DLM Information for Parents Parents can access additional resources to support their child’s learning on our professional development site, which is facilitated by our partners at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This site includes 50 instructional modules, a variety of instructional resources including books you can read with your child, writing tools if your child cannot use a standard pencil or computer keyboard, and communication supports if your child struggles to use speech to communicate. You can also join a virtual community of practice to interact with other families and post questions to the Dynamic Learning Maps professional development team. Parents of students in Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, or North Dakota may read more information about DLM assessment results and individual student reports in our Parent Interpretive Guide for Instructionally Embedded Model States.

Using Google Slides to Make Virtual Middle and High School Math Classes More Engaging Many of us will be teaching remotely this fall due to the pandemic. How can we ensure that effective mathematics instruction and deep learning will still take place? Using Google Slides is a simple yet versatile way to teach mathematics remotely. Last spring, I used Google Slide decks to engage my sixth and seventh graders in intriguing and enjoyable online lessons that coincided with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ eight Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP), which promote mathematical thinking, understanding, and application: SMP 1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. SMP 2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively. SMP 3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. SMP 4: Model with mathematics. SMP 5: Use appropriate tools strategically. SMP 6: Attend to precision. SMP 7: Look for and make use of structure. SMP 8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. 1. 2. Another fun way to begin class is with a matching slide. 3. 4.

The Exit Slip strategy is used to help students process new concepts, reflect on information learned, and express their thoughts about new information. This strategy can also be used to publish student comments, ideas, and opinions. Albers, Peggy. Wagner, Barb. Understanding Irony

How to Help Middle School Students Learn to Work Independently We know that students are joining virtual classes in all kinds of different situations. Some students have their work-from-home parents closely monitoring their schoolwork. Other students are babysitting three cousins while their parents are at work. It can feel impossible to move at a pace that works for all students. So why not let them set their own pace? Last school year, I rolled out a self-pacing model in my seventh-grade math class. But about two months into self-pacing last year, I was ready to give up. They showed me that self-pacing could work for middle school students, and I spent the rest of the year helping my students figure out how to succeed in a self-paced classroom. Introduce Self-Pacing Gradually I began by showing students how a self-paced class works in a four-lesson introduction. In our second unit, I reset the expectations around self-pacing. During distance learning this fall, I’m rolling out self-pacing in much the same way. Self-Pacing Is a Set of Skills

What Is Curriculum-Based Measurement and What Does It Mean to My Child? Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) is a method teachers use to find out how students are progressing in basic academic areas such as math, reading, writing, and spelling. CBM can be helpful to parents because it provides current, week-by-week information on the progress their children are making. When your child's teacher uses CBM, he or she finds out how well your child is progressing in learning the content for the academic year. CBM also monitors the success of the instruction your child is receiving – if your child's performance is not meeting expectations, the teacher then changes the way of teaching your child to try to find the type and amount of instruction your child needs to make sufficient progress toward meeting the academic goals. How does CBM work? When CBM is used, each child is tested briefly each week. After the scores are entered on the graphs, the teacher decides whether to continue instruction in the same way, or to change it. Other ways CBM can help you Resources
Teaching world languages in the virtual classroom Sign up for ACTFL SmartBrief for stories about foreign-language instruction in your inbox. Teachers of all content areas are likely to agree that virtual instruction is not ideal. In a communicative, dynamic world language class, teaching remotely seemed especially daunting. After much contemplation and acceptance of the fact that virtual learning simply was not going to be the same as in the classroom, I knew that I needed to make the best of the situation for my students. I considered the four language domains: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Here’s what I did. Interpretive Tasks Giving my students opportunities to read in the target language is a constant goal of mine. I use Screencast-o-Matic to help develop listening comprehension skills. EdPuzzle is also good for creating listening comprehension tasks. Interpersonal Tasks One “choice” assignment I regularly offer students is letting them engage in a texting conversation in Spanish and send me the screenshots.
Int'l JL of Human Sciences 10 Innovative Formative Assessment Examples for Teachers to Know – Wabisabi Learning Innovative formative assessment examples are part of what defines any modern classroom. They provide crucial information about what students understand and what they don’t. These ungraded assessments are also valuable guides for students. It can help them enhance their performance. Using innovative formative assessment strategies consistently and effectively removes the surprises from getting final grades. Formative assessment is assessment as learning. "... a parent teaching a child to cook would never say, “That was 74 percent.” With this in mind, think of formative assessment as not necessarily identifying what was done well or correctly. Innovative Formative Assessment: 10 Useful Approaches Formative assessment is assessment for learning and as learning. Analyzing Student Work A great deal of information can be learned from students’ homework, tests, and quizzes. This approach lets teachers modify their instruction to be more effective in the future.
