A Special Applause to...
PD on the Fly...
Soliciting students for answers can be a misleading practice. Authors Pérsida and Bill Himmele share, “Who can tell me?” Though it may come in different forms—“Does anyone know the answer?”—the results are the same: Typically only a few students raise their hands, and their responses serve as a barometer for gauging the progress of the entire class." So what do you do then? The authors go on to share three strategies to ensure you have an accurate gauge of student understanding. They then go on to provide perspective on how to determine who gets, it, "A better way to gauge students’ understanding is to embed techniques that ensure that all students are engaged and interacting with the content that matters most in any given lesson." Enjoy!
