    Barbara Page, teacher in Waco, TX but originally from Miami, FL. One thing I’ve been trying to master is my first purchased component for #NBCT! Long process but well worth it to see personalized learning paths for Ss! Happy Monday, everyone! #EDpiper

    A1: I intentionally sit down between classes for a minute and reflect. Even if it is just on a post-it note. Gives me time to think and work towards adjustments for the next time. #edpiper
  • iammrsnix Jan 14 @ 10:06 PM EST

    A1: I usually learn to review over my work and proofread it after study and etc. #EDpiper
  • brpage12 Jan 14 @ 10:07 PM EST
    A1: Review for me- at the end of the day, when I'm looking over the Ss warm-up, that serves as a review for me. Did most understand concept? If not, I need to go back and re-teach in a way Ss understand. For Ss: conferencing while goal setting. #EdPiper

    In reply to @TrueNorthCG
  • LCHS_Bio Jan 14 @ 10:07 PM EST
    R1: I’m teaching a hybrid biology class this semester. We are “reviewing” material from first semester. The key is pre-assessment to identify what Ss know. I also believe that frequent formative assessments are key. #EDpiper
  • iammrsnix Jan 14 @ 10:07 PM EST
    A1: I make review fun with @quizizz or @GetKahoot and offer rewards through @classcraftgame so that I can review every class period without kids getting irritated. That helps me keep it a priority instead of sliding past it, bc kids ask to review! #EDpiper
  • MissDavis_STARS Jan 14 @ 10:08 PM EST
    Q1: One way I find time to review a priority is write it down and allow myself to be accountable for making sure I can cross it off my list. This will allow me to review the priority and it has been said, if you write it down, the goal will be accomplished! #EDpiper #OSEstars

  • Owl_b_TorresEdu Jan 14 @ 10:08 PM EST
    A1: I'm a huge fan of reviewing notes - whether they be sketch notes, post-its that I scribbled during conversation or notes that I took on the laptop...reviewing them makes me think abt how I need to take action next or think abt what I learned. #EDpiper
  • iammrsnix Jan 14 @ 10:09 PM EST
    A1: I review myself by reflecting on the day before I go to bed or on my drive home. It also helps me to decompress or talk through the day with teacher friends #EDpiper
  • icare4ed Jan 14 @ 10:09 PM EST
    A1 I try to review my values at least 3 times per week. I am adding to a growing list of behaviors that align with my values #EDpiper
  • woody_cindy Jan 14 @ 10:09 PM EST
    That’s funny - struggle bus! I accomplished a series of a thousand small things. Great to get it all done, but hard to point and say - hey, look at this big thing I did today! #edpiper

    I have been working with middle schools ladies on History Fair, and we meet once a week. We utilize @googledocs for collaboration and review. I love that I can provide feedback and ask questions, even when we only meet once a week. #EDpiper
  • lisamonthie Jan 14 @ 10:10 PM EST
    A1: some teachers also target certain supporting standards, and spiral those in every week regardless of unit or concepts they are covering. #EDpiper
  • LCHS_Bio Jan 14 @ 10:10 PM EST
    Sorry I didn’t say what I am working on. Looking at incorporating coding into my curriculum, doing more with VR/AR, doing more flipped classroom, and doing more community partnerships. #EDPiper

    In reply to @WinkelerD, @LCHSBears
  • lisamonthie Jan 14 @ 10:11 PM EST
    A1: lots of teachers I know have created review games using @quizizz or homework version of @GetKahoot and students work on those when they finish assignments early. Therefore it is an ongoing review at all times. #EDpiper
  • TrueNorthCG Jan 14 @ 10:12 PM EST
    How do you motivate students who have previously struggled with the content? #EDpiper
  • WinkelerD Jan 14 @ 10:12 PM EST
    Yeah we are projected to get another 1-3 snow AND ice on Saturday. Really not looking forward to it. #edpiper

    A2: I try to find ways to make outside connections for them. Anything real world and they are able to connect. #edpiper
  • brpage12 Jan 14 @ 10:13 PM EST
    A2: We focus on ANY portion of the skill that they have been successful with. Once we find that success, their confidence level goes up and we can introduce the more rigorous part of the skill w/out them feeling frustrated beforehand. #EdPiper

      How do you motivate students who have previously struggled with the content? #EDpiper

    Wow! And I’m only thinking about cooking better, haha. #slacker #edpiper
    In reply to @LCHS_Bio, @LCHSBears
  • Owl_b_TorresEdu Jan 14 @ 10:13 PM EST
    A2: I think it's really important to bring in other Ts or staff when Ss who previously struggled with the content seem unmotivated...our way may not work for them...step aside and let someone else give it a go. #EDpiper
  • lisamonthie Jan 14 @ 10:13 PM EST
    Q2: @lead4ward has great student learning reports that let students track achievement and celebrate growth #EDpiper
  • iammrsnix Jan 14 @ 10:14 PM EST
    A2: I teach coding & my kids have never really struggled with it before but think of it as scary & unknown & think it looks like this... #edpiper

    Q2 use a visual to show progress, conference/ debrief regularly, and goal set #EDpiper
  • iammrsnix Jan 14 @ 10:15 PM EST
    A2: so we start with “fun” coding and show all the different things that coding can be & that it’s more than just a random person in a room alone typing for hours. So basically...Addressing misconceptions! #edpiper
  • dawsonshari5 Jan 14 @ 10:15 PM EST
    @TrueNorthCG To be successful Ts need to keep the spiral going all year long! They are great for morning work or turn and talks. Revving up review is just as important as introducing new material! #edpiper @desotoisdengage
  • LaneWalker2 Jan 14 @ 10:15 PM EST
    a2 I'm a fan of growth mindset. I'm privileged to be in a school district that encourages creative ways to inspire Ss to reach higher. #edpiper
  • woody_cindy Jan 14 @ 10:15 PM EST
    Great ways to make content review a normal part of everyday learning! #edpiper

  • LCHS_Bio Jan 14 @ 10:17 PM EST
    R2: chunking content is a great strategy. Take the content Ss struggle with and break it into little “bytes”. I did a project about 16 year ago called BioBits. It worked pretty well. #EDpiper
  • HailyRambo Jan 14 @ 10:17 PM EST
    A1: all of our tested subjects do assessment folders that show performance over time. Some times, Ss start with reflections on the best performing standard for that student and then write a brag post in their journal before approaching tougher content. #EDpiper
    In reply to @TrueNorthCG
  • WinkelerD Jan 14 @ 10:17 PM EST
    No kidding. I don't like snow when it falls. I'm perfectly ok once it's on the ground though. Just not the 10 inches we got this past Friday. #edpiper

    A2: Student Questionnaires! I find out what they like and work it into my content. They love when they are learning or talking about something they love. I try to mix it all into one! This helps them remember content better and they tend to be interested. #EDpiper #OSEstars
  • LaneWalker2 Jan 14 @ 10:19 PM EST
    I think we have gotten so good at hammering that Ss need more and more review. I'm working on teaching my Ss to "reach" for info to try to reverse that dependency. #edpiper
  • woody_cindy Jan 14 @ 10:19 PM EST
    I love your phrasing - operationalize your values. I’ve been working on that, too. It’s a key to great leadership. I also believe in writing down your basic tenets of your work ethic. Helps clarify what you stand for and believe in? #edpiper

    A3: Several faves including @peardeck Flashcard Factory for vocab review (exports to Quizlet); @Quizalizeapp for their differentiation; @canva for creating visual notes...key 2 remember- no tech tool makes a difference if the Ss doesn't feel relevance to what they learn. #EDpiper

    That can be tough. Sometimes it takes being extremely intentional but gets complicated because Ts have to be flexible. Don’t be hard on yourself. It will happen eventually. Keep your chin up, don’t get frustrated. #edpiper Celebrate the days that your scheduling IS IN sync!

      A1: edpuzzle is amazing.... and using google forms to assess and then kick kids towards the appropriate review material to fill in gaps based on their performance. FlipGrid is sweet, and I use OBS studio like crazy #EDpiper

    Q4. What technology tools have you used to review content with large groups/whole class? Were they effective? #EDpiper

    Sounds about right. Last Sunday we were in the 60s nearing 70...Then by Friday we had 10 inches of snow. All seasons in 1 week. #stlwx #edpiper

    You know what else was awesome about OBS? I had a teacher than could barely speak from being out with the flu. We recorded him once on OBS, he played the presentation all day, and saved his voice for the guided practice portion #EDpiper

    A4: OK, I may be the unpopular vote tonight, but I think it's less about naming tools to use and more abt what we want to achieve...are students understanding the purpose of the review...are we monitoring for understanding or shallow knowledge. #EDpiper
  • LaneWalker2 Jan 14 @ 10:34 PM EST
    a4 I use Peardeck & Nearpod because I can monitor all students working from my desk and project select responses we can all talk about. #EDpiper

    #Edpiper We celebrate any mileston no matter how small! Hugs and smiles and a positive text/note/email home makes their day and makes them PROUD! When they are proud of themselves, they strive harder to reach the next goal.
    • TrueNorthCG Jan 14 @ 10:12 PM EST
      How do you motivate students who have previously struggled with the content? #EDpiper
  • lisamonthie Jan 14 @ 10:36 PM EST
    I think it’s important to present the content in a way that’s different and innovative (especially if it wasn’t mastered the first time)...do not just teach the same way again if not successful #EDpiper
  • woody_cindy Jan 14 @ 10:37 PM EST
    John Hattie’s research showed that teacher feedback had the greatest effect size on improving student achievement. I do think that fun, fresh strategies & tools keep it more engaging, tho. #EDPiper

    Q5: I will let the students reteach/ lead the review and play “stump the teacher” #EDpiper
  • ShaneeCharles Jan 14 @ 10:37 PM EST
    @TrueNorthCG A1: Once we determine growth areas, we set dates to review & practice during the 1st 15 min of the block, and we set a date for an informal assessment. Setting the dates holds our team accountable. #edpiper #leadupchat #leadership #PrincipalsInAction
  • lisamonthie Jan 14 @ 10:38 PM EST
    A5: I use outside experts to help us review...other teachers sometimes visit virtually and help us #EDpiper

    R5: what is the purpose of review? Sometimes reviewing is creating something. I have a project that I have Ss do that demonstrates knowledge of content that Ss can use for a review. It can also be a summative assessment for them also. #EDpiper
  • Owl_b_TorresEdu Jan 14 @ 10:39 PM EST
    Completely agree with the engaging, to me though it's more purposeful if we're giving that quality feedback throughout the learning cycle...if tech usage happens naturally great, but not forcing it. #EDpiper
    In reply to @woody_cindy
  • LaneWalker2 Jan 14 @ 10:39 PM EST
    I read that book recently and can't recall if it was the immediate personal feedback from the teacher or...? 1-1 help is likely the most effective for short term, but what about the effect of effort on retention? Just wondering... #EDpiper

    A1: My teaching partner and I purposefully plan for a full day review for every unit of study. We dedicate time for students to tell us what they know, what they aren’t sure about, and what they want to know more about. #EdPiper
  • ShaneeCharles Jan 14 @ 10:42 PM EST
    @TrueNorthCG A2: I host a MASTERS Party at the end of every grading period. My Ss with learning deficits only need to show 5% growth to attend. However, if they show any growth, they earn Gator bucks, to save for our Gator store. #edpiper #leadership #leadupchat
  • WinkelerD Jan 14 @ 10:43 PM EST
    Haven't quite decided. But I know I'd like them to at least reflect on the work that they did. "are you satisfied with it? what grade would you give yourself?" kind of questions. #edpiper
    In reply to @woody_cindy
  • HailyRambo Jan 14 @ 10:43 PM EST
    At end of reviews I ask “take out a blank sheet of paper and write down everything else you know that I didn’t ask.” Kids start brain dumping & we hang it up & do a gallery walk & students are challenged to add something to each sheet. Student gets original back 2 them. #EDpiper

  • woody_cindy Jan 14 @ 10:44 PM EST
    Suoer review ideas. It doesn’t have to feel like review. So much more fun to embed it in something new that requires application of something old. #EDPiper

    Yes! The more simple you keep it, the more likely you can sustain it and keep student buy-in over time. When it gets to be a lot of work, it tends to fade out for lack of time or interest. #EDPiper

    When peer reviewing, Focus the feedback on the task, not the learner Provide elaborate and specific feedback Reduce uncertainty between performance and goals Give unbiased, objective feedback Provide feedback whole class after learners have attempted a solution #EDpiper
