Cold calling, include a variety of ways to respond, give opportunities for partner/group work, reinforce the idea of 100% participation in polling, etc.

Teachers are doing a great job of introducing the standards at the beginning of the lesson, they just need to remember to refer to them throughout. Also, teachers should circle back to the standards at the end of their lesson.]]> 2017-03-06 18:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jokelley/by0ykpsh3i9f/wish/158121056 https://padlet.com/jokelley/by0ykpsh3i9f/wish/158121170 Lesson Structure based Madeline Hunter ]]> 2017-03-06 18:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jokelley/by0ykpsh3i9f/wish/158121170 https://padlet.com/jokelley/by0ykpsh3i9f/wish/158121180 Students are given think time, a chance to interact regarding their thinking, and they are helping to construct the learning in the session. ]]> 2017-03-06 18:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jokelley/by0ykpsh3i9f/wish/158121180 https://padlet.com/jokelley/by0ykpsh3i9f/wish/158121394 Number: Teachers who struggled with the amount of questions, I suggested that every third slide is a question.
