WEEK 3

About how long should Targeted questioning occur?

• 10 minutes

• 1-2 minutes

• 15 minutes

• 5 minutes

What is one of the best ways to to see if a students answer is "reliable"?

• Ask How or Why?

• They answered correctly, we dont need to ask anything else.

• Ask an even harder question.

• Assume they completely understand the question.

In one example, Meaghan walks around her classroom observing her students answer a question. Why does she do this rather than letting the students answer aloud?

• She wants to see their progress as well as common mistakes.

• Nobody will answer in front of the whole class.

• It's alot quieter so that students can really think about it.

• Because usually, nobody knows the answer.

What is the main reason teachers scan the room?

• To make sure kids aren't talking.

• Because they need a break from the work on their desk.

• To see if anyone is on their phone.

• To gather data.

What is the purpose of questioning and gathering data on students?

• To learn how well they've mastered the lesson

• To be nosey

• So that we have something to do between lessons.

• To keep students from getting distracted

What is a false positive in the questioning process?

• answering incorrectly but telling the student their answer was correct.

• the student knowing the answer but refusing to answer.

• Answering correctly by simply taking a guess

• getting a correct answer marked wrong on your test

Why are open-ended more useful than multiple choice questions?

• They aren't.

• Only using multiple-choice could alter the way we view what a student really knows.

• They are seen to be easier to answer for students.

• It can create less work for a teacher.

What does it mean to "standardize the format"?

• make lessons easier so students ask less questions

• create a new system everyday.

• create a test that covers all areas

• keeping the learning environment consistent.

How do you, as a teacher, benefit from the "show me" technique?

• You get a break from teaching.

• You get to see which students like to do the most talking.

• You are able to gather evidence of their understanding.

• It gives students something to do for fun.

What does it mean to "add a star"?

• Add a star sticker to students desks for decoration.

• highlighting only ONE-star students for the day.

• Give all students positive reinforcement for their effort

• Having students create stars to hang around the room.
