Today I wanted to talk about intervention and ways to reteach #fusdtchat
sdmorias - Moderator Sep 21 @ 7:27 PM EDT

Q1: What is one method you use for intervention in your classroom when students are struggling with a concept? #fusdtchat
dmacchem Sep 21 @ 7:29 PM EDT

A1 it has to be including the student in some sort of feedback."If I'm doing misunderstanding, I need to know why" #fusdtchat
sdmorias - Moderator Sep 21 @ 7:29 PM EDT

A1: My dept and I have deployed students to other classes fir differentiation depending on skill level #fusdtchat
dmacchem Sep 21 @ 7:30 PM EDT

A1 I've been been focusing on feedback this yr and I can see the dramatic diff. Even if it's essential math skills. #fusdtchat
CrazySciTeach Sep 21 @ 7:31 PM EDT

A1: it depends on how many, if it's 1 or 2 then I try for after school tutoring, if it's a group I'll try to pull aside #fusdtchat

Welcome @dmacchem #fusdtchat
sdmorias - Moderator Sep 21 @ 7:32 PM EDT

@dmacchem Do you say this saying to your students? #fusdtchat
sdmorias - Moderator Sep 21 @ 7:35 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach #fusdtchat at what point do you pull them aside. In class? Do your other student proceed in the next lesson?
CrazySciTeach Sep 21 @ 7:36 PM EDT

@sdmorias I've been doing more HyperDocs so Ss can kinda proceed at own pace and I can help those that need it #fusdtchat
ProfD_Mac Sep 21 @ 7:38 PM EDT

A1 Using @goformative provides LIVE feedback to Ss as well as video recording personalized feedback for Ss to watch #fusdtchat #GoDigital
CrazySciTeach Sep 21 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@ProfD_Mac @goformative I love that it lets the kids draw their answers #fusdtchat
ProfD_Mac Sep 21 @ 7:45 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach @goformative #fusdtchat THAT feature is GODLY!
sdmorias - Moderator Sep 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

Q2: What data do you use to determine who is strugglingo? #fusdtchat
ProfD_Mac Sep 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

Q2 How do you accommodate/scaffold for students who are behind sig in math skills? #fusdtchat
sdmorias - Moderator Sep 21 @ 7:52 PM EDT

Calculators. Let students use tools they can use in the real world! #fusdtchat
CrazySciTeach Sep 21 @ 7:53 PM EDT

A2: a lot of times its really just by walking around and watching them do the assignments, frequent quizzes or exit tickets #fusdtchat
CrazySciTeach Sep 21 @ 7:53 PM EDT

A2: the math is hard, it's hard to do physics when you can't multiply. I let them use a calculator or number chart #fusdtchat
ProfD_Mac Sep 21 @ 7:55 PM EDT

What about Algebra 1-isolating 'x' skills? #fusdtchat
CrazySciTeach Sep 21 @ 7:59 PM EDT

Algebra is hard for them, when we do physics problems I try to use the same vocab as math Ts, make it cohesive #fusdtchat
ProfD_Mac Sep 21 @ 8:05 PM EDT

Yeah we were doing density calcs and it was extremely difficult, but the similar vernacular as math Ts is effective #fusdtchat

Thanks for joining us today @ProfD_Mac @CrazySciTeach #fusdtchat talk to you next week!
