What can we do? by Nadia Carmona https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk en-us 2017-12-04 20:35:48 UTC 2017-12-05 12:59:09 UTC hello@padlet.com Seek ways to identify their strengths -- perhaps they have gifts that we don't see immediately. koutler https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213251646
Offer choice boards to assess students in different ways, and so they can self-identify with their own strengths. 

Individualize learning and assessment for non-gifted students. 

Building students up when we observe strengths, so they're more eager and willing to take risks and work on their weaknesses.

We did a "before and after" list before the video about what they know about the era -- especially what images come to their minds when they hear "the 1920s." We watch short clips of the video and pause for students to add to their visualizations about the 1920s. At the end of class we have a "talk around" to hear all of the new understandings students now had. krodgers9 https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213251674 This was a big picture view for the entire unit to provide students with more background knowledge before teaching/learning really begin.]]> 2017-12-05 12:52:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213251674 https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213251878 If most of my students failed a particular quiz, that signals to me that my presentation of the material was not effective the first time. Reteaching may be an option if the new material is linked to the material that my students had trouble with, but otherwise I might need to integrate new instructional methods to review the older material in places like warm-ups, tickets out the door, etc.]]> 2017-12-05 12:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213251878 https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213252040 Rogers: I like to incorporate weak areas into warm ups to give extra practice and give us an opportunity to discuss it as a class that's already built into the lesson time]]> 2017-12-05 12:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213252040 baby steps, using gradual release from scaffolding strategy https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213252205 2017-12-05 12:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213252205 nskinner5 https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213252301 2017-12-05 12:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213252301 I would try to back him up.To lead him all the way.I will ask the student what is affecting him/her so as to advice him/her the best way I can. igutierrez4 https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213252484 2017-12-05 12:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213252484 reteaching, integrating missed concepts into daily lessons, spruett https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213252697 2017-12-05 12:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarmona4/bp8ymn0zb3mk/wish/213252697 Crockett: Trying to integrate the old concepts students did not understand into the new material.
