Don't worry, I will guide you with instruction and aesthetically pleasing PowerPoints!
YAY! Our students will be happier and we will have concrete strategies!
In Ms. H's classroom...
You too, Mr. Principal
Good Morning, have a great day!
remember slope intercept, Y = mx + b
I have it written, May I answer it on the board?
Formative Assessment
Do Now what is the slope and what is the y intercept 7x + 6 = y
I cannot wait for the bell! oh, wait I remember this....
I like when she checks in, instead of testing us!!
This is out of order....but I remember.
Ok. according to the cards, I can have pairs help each other as I walk around and help the groups!
CFU
I can answer that, we just did this yesterday
Who can tell me the slope ?
6 = -7x+ 6 Y= mx +b m= -7/1 y intercept = 6
M is the slope in the formula, -7/1
Good to move on? K, moving on.
Once upon a time, there once was a school where the teachers were well-intentioned, but did not have the skill set to appropriately check for understanding in their classroom.
Meanwhile, in Ms. Williams' classroom...
We don't understand!!! Grrr!!!
Students, please hold up a red, yellow, or green card to show your understanding of the topic.
One day, the teachers enrolled in Module 6 and developed a vast array of assessments and CFUs at the direction of their professor, Amy.
A new strategy for checking for understanding...
I understand! Here is my green card.
Read to further see how each teacher at "No CFU HS" change their classrooms!
A fresh start for everyone...
We now know how to show you when we need more help. YAY!
Grades 6-8. 24 general-education classrooms six special-education classrooms. No CFU High School is placed in the bottom percentage of all schools in New York for overall test scores.
Reflecting On Learning
Exit Ticket 1. What is a skill you are really good at? 2. What is a skill you still need help with?
Oh man, how did I get a 12/20?! I answered all of the questions.
The teacher starts the class with a Do now, students know the routine, and yet there are still many procrastinating or looking to move forward. Teacher give s a prompt and kids are starting to remember.
Meanwhile, in Miss Herbst's classroom
Today's Class: Hand back tests and homework
Plan to Check for Understanding at a place in the lesson where I need to know whether or not my students are on track!
Helping students understand
Oh wow, I correctly solved the problem, but did not explain how I got there. I am going to fix this and re-submit it.
Today's Class: Hand back tests and homework
Ms. Williams enjoys teaching her students new concepts surrounding civics. However, she has limited knowledge surrounding Checks for Understanding and tends to move on without truly knowing how comfortable students are with the content.
I need help!
After enrolling in Module 6, she now knows that one strategy she can use is the red/yellow/green card CFU. She stops intermittently, asking for students to hold up their cards and measure their understanding.
I feel okay about the concept, but need more coverage.
I could use some more help.
Now, students know how to indicate when they are confused and Ms. Williams has a greater understanding of where each student stands. Educational harmony!
After Module 6, Ms. Williams closes the lesson with an Exit-Ticket that utilizes self-assessment.
At the beginning of the school year Miss Herbst never gave her students constructive feedback, she would only mark their answers wrong.
I don't understand why I got this question wrong?!
Now, Miss Herbst provides feedback for her students. She gives them ways to improve, corrects misconceptions and gives them a chance to prove their understanding again.
Now I can see that my error was just a simple mistake, but I still got the process correct. Phew!
I love when Miss Herbst tells me what I've accomplished and what I can still improve on. Now I know where to focus my energy.
Teacher Reflection
I am so glad I started giving my students feedback. Now I can individualize what they need to work on. I have noticed students have stopped making the same mistakes and are eager to improve!
Morning time in Ms. Paz Class
Todays AGENDA Warm Up Pass back Quizzes

Next, Students switch papers.
Miss Herbst is so glad she started giving students feedback.
TWO STARS AND A WISH
Two Stars and a wish 2 positive things about your peers work and 1 thing he/she can do better next time
Students are just finishing up their warm up. Ms. Paz is a bit worried because the students did not do so well on their quiz.
SUCCESS
As the students get their quiz back, a lot of them are embarrassed and sad about their grades.
Meanwhile in Miss Ospina's Class
Why is homeostasis important?
She remembers learning about the benefits of peer assessments .
Thinking Time
Why is homeostasis important?
Because it keeps everything equal
Ms. Paz introduces a goal the next day . She then has them work independently on a practice worksheet
Reflection
Any other comments or questions?
I have something else to add/question about the topic!
Once the students completed their math review worksheet, they switched papers with a peer.
Meanwhile In Ms. Mabie's Class
Do It Now: Peer-Editing
Ms. Paz had students write down each others assessment. She knew her students were shy so she figured this would be easier than verbal feedback.
The kids loved being able to get feedback from their peers. It felt good to compliment and help each other reach a goal.
At the beginning Miss. Ospina never waited between asking questions. She wouldn't allow for thinking time
How does homeostasis happen?
Do we know what hemeostasis is?
After reading the "Questioning" article, Miss Ospina realized how important questioning student is. She started taking time between each question, allowing for thinking time.
Count to 10 before asking again!
I know our Organs do it!
It keeps the human body at equilibrium!
Now that the students get more time to think, they are excited about participating. They are not helping to guide the lesson & conversation
After enrolling in Module 6, Ms. Mabie uses peer-assessment more frequently in class to allow students time to help each other.
