Tracking Student
Progress - The teacher facilitates tracking of student progress on one
or more learning goals using a formative approach to assessment. Teacher helps student track their individual
progress on the learning goal and uses formal and informal means to assign
scores to students on the scale or rubric depicting student status on the
learning goal. Teacher charts the
progress of the entire class on the learning goal. Be sure student trackers are up to date.
Tracking Class Attendance

STAR Progress Monitoring
Identifying
Critical Information - The teacher identifies a lesson or part of a
lesson as involving important information to which students should pay
particular attention. Teacher begins the
lesson by explaining why upcoming content is important and tells students to
get ready for some important information.
Teacher cues the importance of upcoming information in some indirect
fashion by tone of voice, body position or level of excitement.
Students created their own game with critical information.
Managing Student Response
Rates - The teacher uses response rates techniques to maintain student
engagement in questions. Teacher uses
wait time, response cards, has students use hand signals to respond to
questions, choral response, technology to keep track of students’ responses and
uses response chaining.

Students earn points when they answer questions correctly. If you answer correctly the first time you receive more points than the 2nd or 3rd attempt. Currently (11-6-2015) there is a tie for the class with the most points. Ms. Kappel and Ms. Lara's class both have 32K points followed by Ms. Harden with 27K points.
