Key ?: HOW ? (It's what students need in order to know what to do and succeed)
-most effective ways to spur growth is to offer students key steps and moves to try interesting, rigorous work
1. Teach
2. Practice, practice, practice!!! (either from charts, bookmarks or conferences using demonstration notebooks)

PRIMARY INFLUENCES ON LEARNING
1. Self-reporting grades=RUBRICS (self-assess)
2. Piagetian Programs= ZPD (@ level)
3. Formative evaluation= assess and give feedback during the process

In order for teaching to be effective, we have to:
~Make it visual.
~Make the abstract concrete.
~Encourage repeated practice]]> 2016-07-07 20:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/slopez24/DIYLiteracy/wish/116083413 slopez24 https://padlet.com/slopez24/DIYLiteracy/wish/116084411 TEACHING CHARTS:
-Students would know how to work if they could just have a list of what to do
-records the teaching that has already taken place
-The best charts are made collaboratively with students

repertoire chart- list of strategies that help students work towards a big skill
process chart-  breaks the strategy down into the steps that students would take to perform that skill

How to make a teaching chart?
1. "What skill or content am I centering this chart around?"
2. List strategies, ways, or steps necessary to accomplish that skill underneath the heading (colorful and clear) in kid-friendly language and icon-rich
3. Hang chart in a place where students can see it easily!

DEMONSTRATION NOTEBOOKS:
