After filling the sheet out the student will find a peer who has similar answers to them. The teacher will have a better understanding of personal assets.

Parents know their child best and will tell you what their child's personality is from their perspective (personal) and hopefully reveal some information about life at home (cultural). Parent teacher conferences are effective all the way through K-12.]]> 2019-02-12 19:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/330520557 drewpanson12 https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/330523749 When it comes to understanding students with different cultural backgrounds, the most effective learning path would be through others who share the same background. Talking to other teachers who share that cultural background with a student(s) about effective ways to teach can go a long way. (K-12)]]> 2019-02-12 19:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/330523749 drewpanson12 https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/330525676 In order to understand someone from a different background, it can be helpful to visit the communities in which some of your students reside in. Taking note of how they learn and interact in their home life and transitioning that into the classroom can boost students confidence and willingness to learn.

Asking each student how they prefer to learn can not only give you a better understanding of which route to go in lessons, but it will also show that you care about your students (personal). When a child knows that the teacher is there to help and support them, they will be more engaged and more willing to learn.

Stay late and visit some of these activities to see what your students contribute in the school community and what their interests are out of school.]]> 2019-02-18 17:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/332413411 drewpanson12 https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/332413858 2019-02-18 17:58:36 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/332413858 drewpanson12 https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/332414028 2019-02-18 17:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/332414028 drewpanson12 https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/339729072 Provide students with a few (2-3) questions relating to the big picture of the lesson and wait at the door to collect them. Divide the responses into three categories: understood, partially understood, did not understand. This would be effective for all grade levels, and collect qualitative and informal data]]> 2019-03-10 19:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/339729072 drewpanson12 https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/339729353 This allows the students to assess where they are at with their learning of a certain topic. An important part of this is allowing the students to write a brief note on why they think they understand or why they think they don't. This would appropriate for all grades and it would collect qualitative and informal data.]]> 2019-03-10 20:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/339729353 drewpanson12 https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/339729720 Without scaring kids with big words like "essay", telling the students to write for three minutes on a piece of paper about what they have learned in a particular subject. This allows students to be free and essay and just get their thoughts out without worrying about a grade. This would be appropriate for grades 3-8 and would collect formal and qualitative data. ]]> 2019-03-10 20:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/339729720 drewpanson12 https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/339729861 Asking students the 5 W's of what they just learned. The who, what, when, where, why, is a very important skills to master when it comes to reading comprehension and analysis, down the road. This would be appropriate for grades 2-5 and would collect formal and qualitative data.

This is a good way to jump ahead of potential learning blocks, and eliminate tricky content.

Pick their brain about what they are doing right and wrong and what they do and don't understand. This will give u accurate information as well as create a comfort from your students that they can share what they don't understand. I believe this would be appropriate from grades K-5 and it would collect informal, qualitative data. ]]> 2019-03-10 20:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/339730425 drewpanson12 https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/339730672 An online resource that allows for immediate feedback, online brainstorming, and class participation. It is similar to Kahoot, which I always found helpful as a kid. It also gives students the fun of interacting online with their peers.

This will make sure students pay attention to content, because it will be assessed right after the review. This would be appropriate for all grades and it wouldn't collect data, but it would give the students a better chance to provide solid formal, quantitative data. ]]> 2019-03-10 20:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpanson12/3cqszxvgbtg4/wish/339731853
