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.

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.

Think Thru Math Follow Up:  

Students working on Think Thru Math

Ms. Timberlake has volunteered to provide a pizza party to the 3rd - 6th grade class with the MOST POINTS in Think Thru Math.  Points are different than lessons completed.  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.  If on the 10th of December there is a tie with two classes then both classes will receive a pizza party.
