ROCK 2- Progress and Aggressive Monitoring
When do I aggressively monitor and how?
Aggressive Monitoring should happen whenever you ask students to practice during the lesson. Here's how:
- Have your exemplar for all independent practice in hand.
- Announce the purpose of each lap (identified through your exemplar).
- Follow the pathway of slow to start students and fast finishers first.
- Provide written and verbal feedback to students using the established coding system and assessing and advancing questions.
- Collect qualitative data to inform instructional decisions based on each lap.
