What are vocabulary squares?

Vocabulary squares are one of the methods used to make a vocabulary. The square in question is divided into several sides, each of which has a different function, but is still focused on the vocabulary words in the middle of the square. Several sides of the square are divided, there are explanations about word definitions, similar words, word antonyms, many others. Using vocabulary squares is quite attractive to many students from various levels of education being pursued.

What is a Frayer model graphic organizer?

Frayer graphic organizer model is one example of vocabulary squares. It's just that, using the graphic organizers Frayer model is more general and can be adjusted to the needs. Not only to learn vocabulary, but you can also use it for Math problems. Frayer model graphic organizer is very helpful for organizing the mind to focus on topics that are in the Frayer model. So that everything that you think about when faced with the Frayer model is not branched but rather to everything that is part of the topic. A Frayer model can be found in presentations as well as notes and worksheets given at school.

Why is the Frayer model effective?

Talking about effectiveness depends on how the experience experienced by its users. For some people, using additional tools for learning is something that is quite troublesome. For those who are geniuses, the Frayer model can be an annoying thing for them, but for those who find it difficult to focus, this is the most effective way. You can learn many things using only one Frayer model (if you have high curiosity). In one Frayer model, for example, you can maximize learning its use by searching for definitions of each synonym.

How do you make a Frayer model in Powerpoint?

To be able to make a fryer model in the form of a PowerPoint, you need the software first. You can use software from Microsoft office to make it. After being on the first page of PowerPoint, look for tools that can make shape squares or circles to place in the middle of the square. You can use tools to create lines too. Use enough time to exploit the Frayer Model that you are going to make. You can arrange the Frayer model to be part of the presentation. Or, you can print a Frayer model that is on powerpoint to become a graphic organizers card Frayer model.

To get the most out of the exit ticket process, questions should:

Be short

Where possible be open ended.

Linked to the learning intentions (and success criteria) of the lesson.

Focus on skill(s) or concept(s) being taught.

Allow students to demonstrate understanding.

Challenge students to synthesise what they have learned.

Not be surface level questions (i.e. factual).

Not be yes/or no answer.

Prompt reflection.

Use clean specific language that is not vague or ambiguous.

Avoid passive and negative wording will enforce "I can't" attitudes with no actionable way forward.

When starting to use exit tickets it is a good idea to use structured questions to support students in becoming familiar with the process. These can then be adjusted over time to be more open-ended in nature.

Exit tickets can use a variety of question types, for example, some questions might involve a rating scale, another might be more open-ended asking students to write their specific concerns or ideas or reflection. Another might ask a student to respond to a specific questions or prompt. It is a good idea, therefore, to model the exit tickets to your class and show them how to complete the different types of questions that might be asked.

The UDL Guidelines are a tool used in the implementation of Universal Design for Learning, a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn. Learn more about the Universal Design for Learning framework from CAST. The UDL Guidelines can be used by educators, curriculum developers, researchers, parents, and anyone else who wants to implement the UDL framework in a learning environment. These guidelines offer a set of concrete suggestions that can be applied to any discipline or domain to ensure that all learners can access and participate in meaningful, challenging learning opportunities.

Reenvisioning the UDL Guidelines

Because the UDL Guidelines are meant to be informed by feedback from the field as well as new research, they have been updated several times in the past. We are in the process of updating the Guidelines once again in our UDL Rising to Equity initiative.

This update will focus specifically on addressing systemic barriers that result in inequitable learning opportunities and outcomes. CAST aims to develop a transparent, inclusive, and community-driven process. If you are interested in collaborating and staying updated on our progress, we invite you to complete a brief survey.

The Cult of Pedagogy Podcast - 79: Retrieval Practice: The Most Powerful Learning Strategy You’re Not Using on Stitcher

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The research is clear: Retrieval practice is one of the most powerful ways to learn. In this episode, I talk to Pooja Agarwal about what retrieval practice is and how teachers can start incorporating it into their teaching tomorrow.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The research is clear: Retrieval practice boosts learning. To get students on board, it's critical to emphasize that retrieval practice is a learning opportunity , not an assessment opportunity.

Classroom games, like Jeopardy and various apps (e.g., Kahoot, Quizlet, etc.) are engaging and low stakes - perfect for retrieval practice. But they can increase anxiety, too. When you were a student, did you ever feel pressured to come up with a correct answer to a question, as soon as possible, without disappointing your teammates? Talk about anxiety!

Retrieval Tic Tac Toe is a no stakes, no tech, no anxiety activity created by Alana, Emily, and J., college students in a psychology class with cognitive scientist Janell Blunt from Anderson University.

1. Write a tic tac toe grid on the board or project a grid on a screen

2. Split your class into two teams

3. Each team writes 5 questions for retrieval practice

4. One team stands at the front of the class and asks a question. The other team collaborates to come up with the correct answer.

5. If the seated team gets the question correct, they can put an X on the grid wherever they like.

6. The teams switch. Now, the team that originally presented collaborates, answers a question, and adds an O if they are correct.

7. Continue alternating teams for Retrieval Tic Tac Toe, anxiety free!
