I remember taking a practice test before state tests, and then never discussing them. Mentality: practice makes perfect #kaganchat

@BillAtKagan Sometimes we were given incentives--extra recess time in elementary and extra talk time in secondary. Oh boy. #KaganChat

VernAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@KaganOnline Did we all go to the same school? #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@BillAtKagan Exactly! That was not motivational for me. #KaganChat

@llglass You are so right! I remember many painful late nights in high school frantically memorizing for tests. #KaganChat

@DarenHarris8 Thanks for joining! #KaganChat

@KaganOnline A2 - QUIZ QUIZ TRADE! my favorite! Great for basic math facts (immediate feedback and brain friendly) #KaganChat

VernAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: My teachers loved QQT. Does any teacher not love it? The power comes when kids can coach using "teacher words". #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Yessssssss! A fave for sure! My students loved Quiz-Quiz-Trade! #KaganChat https://t.co/WFJsKDV9AL

@KaganOnline QQT for sure. #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@JackieAtKagan You read my mind! #KaganChat

BillAtKagan - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: @KaganOnline Find Someone Who and Quiz-Quiz-Trade were 2 of my my go-tos. Multiplication facts, story elements, etc. #KaganChat

VernAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: Flashcard Game is another excellent structure. Lots of support early in the structure & then less support as mastery occurs. #KaganChat

jenAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@llglass #KaganChat great minds think alike :)

JackieAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: I have seen Showdown packets put together to help students review throughout the year. #kaganchat

#KaganChat New fav method of quick recall with tech is @GetKahoot. Interactive on devices, coaching in teams or pairs, then celebrations.

rickatkagan - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2 I've also enjoyed Flashcard Star for students to track their own mastery of memorizing facts and information! #kaganchat

crazykittnsmile Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2: Quiz-Quiz-Trade and Rally Robin. Typically for math facts or content vocab. #KaganChat

VernAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@KaganOnline A3: Who can tweet RallyCoach the fastest? #KaganChat

llglass Mar 29 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3. #KaganChat I use Numbered Heads Together and Fan and Pick - use them both with math and Language Arts

crazykittnsmile Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: Numbered Heads Together, Rally Coach, or Sage & Scribe. Great for math. NHT is great for reading Qs & reaching a consensus. #KaganChat

JackieAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

RallyCoach or Sage-n-Scribe are perfect for any math practice. #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: I wish more teachers would use Numbered Heads Together. A strong structure for procedural learning and formative assessment. #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@crazykittnsmile Excellent for both of those content ideas! #KaganChat

jenAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@KaganOnline A3 RallyCoach for long division. Love hearing the math vocab! #KaganChat

jenAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@KaganOnline A3 Numbered Heads Together and Showdown are also great #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@VernAtKagan You are the winner! #KaganChat Actually, Ss are the real winners when engaged in RallyCoach!

rickatkagan - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3. Right, @vernatkagan -- I love the Rally's (RallyCoach, RallyQuiz) Also Numbered Heads Together #kaganchat

BillAtKagan - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: Numbered Heads Together. Also has lots of opportunities for coaching! Long division, simplifying, determining if rock/mineral #KaganChat

TyLRhodes Mar 29 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@VernAtKagan for whatever reason I don't see this as much at secondary level...we need to revisit this one #KaganChat

@TyLRhodes This is so great! What an excellent way for Ss to support one another acquiring the language! #KaganChat

A4: Engagement, engagement, engagement. Test prep is so dull. Structures make it interesting and important! #KaganChat

rickatkagan - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A4 Love seeing students begin to think like a test maker when using FindTheFiction! All of the following are true EXCEPT... #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4: One benefit I observed for teachers is they didn't have to work as hard to get kids better prepared. Kids were the workers. #KaganChat

@nagel_megan So true! That is what we want for all Ss! Well stated! #KaganChat

VernAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4: Another benefit was teachers did not have to reteach as often. Mastery for all came quicker. Teachers covered more content. #KaganChat

JackieAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4: using structures for test prep helps identify areas that need more practice BEFORE the test! #kaganchat

ambielyn19 Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@ambielyn19 Need to figure out how to tie in structures (maybe sage and scribe or carousel) for review. #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@TyLRhodes I think it is one of the strongest structures we have for conducting formative assessments...if done correctly. #KaganChat

TyLRhodes Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4- watched a T the other day use structure as formative assessment. Adjusted instruction from there to improve skill. #solid #KaganChat

A5- S are well prepared and confident. No time for anxiety! #KaganChat

A5 #KaganChat I usually do a structure that gets them up moving right before the test-anxiety is gone by the time we are finished!

crazykittnsmile Mar 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A5: We refer to tests as "show what we know." When Ss use structures, Ss know more so they're confident in what they can show! #KaganChat

BillAtKagan - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@llglass MOVEMENT. Good call. That lowers anxiety big time!!! #KaganChat

ambielyn19 Mar 29 @ 8:40 PM EDT

#kaganchat Thoughts on doing a #CB "just for fun" before testing to alleviate stress?

VernAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A6 #kaganchat the best tip I have is to know your kids and the structures. Use the structures that best fit the content and your class!

jenAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@KaganOnline A6 - reminding S the dialogue they use with teammates is perfect for "explain why" parts on standardized tests #kaganchat

nagel_megan Mar 29 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A6: Ss love novelty. Use many structures and continue to focus on team building. We are all in this together! #KaganChat

JackieAtKagan Mar 29 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A6: create folders around objectives. Place cards, worksheets, etc in folders and use thoughout the year for spiraled practice. #kaganchat
