Possible Causes of Learning Difficulties

Responsiveness to
Intervention
• What is your district’s policy/procedure for identifying student’s with learning difficulties?
• Does my school/district have a plan to help gifted students with learning disabilities? If so, is it effective? If not, should we?

Learning Strategies
• Choose a strategy.
• Have you used this learning strategy in your classroom?
• What new or different strategy have you decided to use in your classroom this month?

Questioning
![Page 14: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Research-Based Strategies• 4 Research-based strategies that
significantly improve student learning:• Sharing criteria (clear learning targets with
success criteria)Questioning• Feedback• Peer and self-assessment
![Page 15: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• “More effort has to be spent in framing questions that are worth asking; that is, questions which explore issues that are critical to the development of students’ understanding.”– Assessment for Learning: Putting It Into Practice
• Pg. 42
![Page 16: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Effective Questioning• “You understand it
only if you can teach it, use it, prove it, explain it, or read between the lines.”– Wiggins and McTighe– Understanding by Design
• “Current classroom practices generally encourage superficial and rote learning, concentrating on recall of isolated details, usually items of ‘knowledge’ which pupils soon forget.”– Black and Wiliam– Inside the Black Box
![Page 17: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Effective Questioning• Questioning should
be used to:– Cause thinking– Provide data that
informs teaching
• Questioning should NOT be used to:– Direct the attention
of the class– Keep students on

Effective QuestioningCh. 4 Formative Assessment in
Action
• Wait time• No hands up• Talking partners• Debates• Snowballing
![Page 20: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Effective Questioning• Provide 5 seconds of wait time.
– Best with some structure (e.g., white boards or talking partners)
• ‘No hands up’ increases wait time and child focus, but used with recall questions is counterproductive.
• Having talking partners/groups before responding to questions enables all children to participate, think, and articulate…
![Page 22: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Effective Questioning• Encouraging children to generate their own
questions furthers their independence as learners.
• Effective questioning involves effective modeling.
• Effective questions should further and deepen learning, rather than simply help establish prior knowledge.
• Teachers need to create a supportive climate so that ‘put downs’ are avoided and children can articulate their ideas without fear of failure.
![Page 23: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Role Play Talking Partners
• Working with a partner, role play a poor talking partner and a good talking partner. (pg. 57)
• What are some considerations for making this an effective instructional strategy?
![Page 24: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Question for Role Playing with Talking Partners
• Why do you think some people put off Christmas shopping until the very last minute?
![Page 25: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Reframing Questions• From your reading guide, write your two
reframed questions for What physical activities improve the efficiency of the heart? on sentence strips and post on the labeled charts.– Red: range of answers– Blue: agree/disagree– Green: opposites– Purple: reframed, give answer first– Orange: opposing standpoint
![Page 26: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Thinking Hats• Draw a hat from the baggie.• Find 2 others in the room with the same hat.• Consider the following question from the
perspective specified by your hat color: Why is gold considered to be a precious metal and iron is not?
• Return to your original table. Have each person share their “hat” perspective pertaining to this question.
![Page 27: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Six Thinking Hats• White Hat – facts, figures, information• Black Hat – caution, truth, judgment• Red Hat – emotions, feelings, hunches• Yellow Hat – advantages, benefits, good• Green Hat – create, explore, new ideas• Blue Hat – reflections, lacks decisions

MC Design Considerations• Factors to consider for the KEY and the
DISTRACTORS
– Provide one, and only one, correct answer– Include plausible options that demonstrate a
student’s level of understanding– Colleague review

choice?

How did changing D make this
assessment moreformative in nature?

What to do with the results?Based on the students’ answers, you attach a
problem for them to work on.A. Rounding ProblemB. Rounding for Real-World PurposesC. Correct—Extension ProblemD. A division problem
An item like this can give a teacher differentiated information for the class so the teacher can figure out who needs extra help.

What to do with the results?Deer herds in KY are currently plagued by a fatal
hemorrhagic disease. Which population will be most affected by the loss of deer?
A. AcornsB. WolvesC. HumansJustify your response.
A. Examine various energy pyramids and determine population changes
B. Correct answer – extension activity (e.g., analyze more than 2 populations compared graphically)

Now, It’s Your Turn
• Develop a multiple choice question for your class that will give you formative information about the students.
• For each selection, determine best next steps.
![Page 35: Math/Science Leadership Awareness](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c2a550346895dca0025/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Reflection:• The benefits/impact of using these
strategies…
• The barriers…why we don’t see these strategies used more in our classrooms.
