When you have a plan in place to answer the questions you already know will arise, it saves time for you and the lesson will go much smoother. 
2.     What strategies or activities can teachers use to plan ahead of time to support students or to intervene if they have difficulties? Teachers can tier lessons in order to reach students who have no knowledge of the subject matter, those who have minimal knowledge, and those who may have a vast knowledge. Assignments and intervention can be given accordingly and those who need extra support can get it while the others who may not need much help can go forward with their learning.

I give verbal feedback through one-on-one conferencing, small group meetings (for group work) and I also write notes on assignments.
2.     What feedback would help coach students towards better performance? Immediate feedback is always best. As soon as possible after an assignment is turned in , or even while students are working on a project or assignment, that "right now" advice/feedback is always most appreciated by kids. They hate when they've gotten so far into something just to find out they've been doing it wrong or have the wrong concept and must change their way of thinking.

You must be proactive in anticipating confusion.  Often, you can head off problems and misunderstandings before they happen if you plan for them ahead of time.
2. What strategies or activities can teachers use to plan ahead of time to support students or to intervene if they have difficulties.
KWL charts let you know if students already have information or misconceptions before you begin a topic. You can also front-load or pre-teach important vocabulary needed to understand a topic.]]> 2020-05-11 17:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/christy_lockhart/s21d047bfmbnpbp3/wish/565588398 Parker https://padlet.com/christy_lockhart/s21d047bfmbnpbp3/wish/565597532 Principle 4…Answer the following two questions.
1.     Why is it important to set up an intervention plan before students need it? It is important to set up interventions before students need them to provide clarification and proper guidance. This may help minimize confusion which will help teaching be more productive. 
2.     What strategies or activities can teachers use to plan ahead of time to support students or to intervene if they have difficulties? Preteaching or front loading to support students may help students make better connections to new or confusing material. Having students complete a KWL chart.

1.     How do you currently provide feedback to students? I provide written feedback on graded papers as reminders. I also provide verbal individual feedback and class feedback as a way to begin conversations about what students are doing well on and what we need to work to improve.
2.     What feedback would help coach students towards better performance? I think feedback that presents itself more like a conversation helps coach students towards better performance. Conversations can often be less threatening and help build relationships where the learning is shared between students and teachers.

1. How do you currently provide feedback to students?
In PreK, the children are given verbal feedback.  During large group or small group, I give immediate feedback on verbal responses- a nod, a thumbs up, a "I like your thinking" or even "I understand how that may have confused you.  The correct answer is..."
2. What feedback would help coach students toward better performance?
I think the immediate verbal feedback helps my kids. I also like to tell them where I think their misconception came from (b,d,p and q DO look very similar. You have to look at where the ball and line are placed. b has a belly, etc)]]> 2020-05-11 18:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/christy_lockhart/s21d047bfmbnpbp3/wish/565748522
