Every lesson, I want to make sure students get the gist of the standard I have covered that day. We spend a few minutes at the end of class reviewing concepts together- verbally processing as a whole class and in small groups- and then I have students put away their notebooks and group folder in the designated location before posting the question on the Smart Board. Students put their names on the back of the post-it notes and respond on the front. Some days the question is as simple as "What is one thing you learned today?" Often, the question asks students to recall specific information from the lesson they need to remember in order to move forward with the material the next day and beyond. This is a very helpful assessment for me because I can get a snapshot of how each student and class is progressing. Each week, I also try to include a variety of question styles and use question stems that could come up on benchmark tests and the final TN Ready Assessment. Grading for this needs to be quick and easy because we do this every day on top of other classwork and major assignments the students are completing. I use a check-plus, check, check-minus method my students have been informed about, so when they get their post-it back they know if they mastered the question, were approaching mastery, or are lacking in understanding. |
