A4: modeling what you want is essential in establishing routines... Let the Ss practice WITH you before turning them loose. #LearnLAP

irishteacher6 Sep 19 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@insearchofbees Ss are generally very honest about reading behaviors in self assessments, if they trust you. #LearnLAP

mrs_cruz3 Sep 19 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A7: Those who look to other students during reading, take frequent breaks, and those who speed through under their breath #LearnLAP

I tend to do exit slips, but also offer non-traditional reflections: https://t.co/ribvGXhHzm #learnlap

insearchofbees Sep 19 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@irishteacher6 I have found that to be true as well. Trust is the key. #LearnLAP

ARutschke Sep 19 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A6: Create/extend patterns, white board answers, LOTS of practice #LearnLAP

MissReilsRoom Sep 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A7: get to know Ss well to predict where they may struggle. Watch body language to see who is avoiding the task. #LearnLAP

MsCPerrell Sep 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A5: Ss aren't left guessing what you want from them. After routines are taught and in place, less time is wasted #LearnLAP

hohmsclass Sep 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A7. We have to teach kids to advocate for themselves! Takes practice, but long-term, way more meaningful than T identifying #LearnLAP

ReadersLeadPD Sep 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Q8. #LearnLAP How does data drive decisions to help identify who needs you the most in small group. hint, page 113 collaborative- tasks...

insearchofbees Sep 19 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@MissReilsRoom Avoiding can look so many different ways - this is a biggie. #LearnLAP

ARutschke Sep 19 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A6: S conferences, running records, class goal setting & discussions #LearnLAP

pearse_margie Sep 19 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A7: #learnlap Take the temperature of the learning about every 10 minutes or so - could be mini white boards, 3-minute pause, self-assess

MsCPerrell Sep 19 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A6: @GetKahoot has been a helpful assessment tool this week. Also use @Seesaw so students can do video reflections #LearnLAP

JessieRErickson Sep 19 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A7 Ss that hide behind their sense of humor, rely on peers, shy away from discussion... but if you know your Ss they can't hide! #learnlap

MsCPerrell Sep 19 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A7: wall "starers", frequent bathroom breaks, students body language #LearnLAP

JessieRErickson Sep 19 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A8 Formative data should help make daily decisions about what will happen in the classroom tomorrow. Monitor and adjust! #learnlap

irishteacher6 Sep 19 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@JessieRErickson don't forget the carefully timed bathroom breaks! #learnlap

pearse_margie Sep 19 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A7: I like my data in real time. I want to measure learning while it's happening and not feel confined to only using test data #learnlap

MissReilsRoom Sep 19 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A8: Use formal and informal data to group Ss based on skill. Be flexible with grouping. #LearnLAP

JessieRErickson Sep 19 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A9 Having an understanding of you Ss and what they need. Flexible groups that are fluid and change with the needs of your Ss. #learnlap

MsCPerrell Sep 19 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A8: data drives instruction- determines whether you move forward or reteach the objectives in a different way to aid understanding #LearnLAP

MissReilsRoom Sep 19 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A9: Use visuals to show groups rather than having set groups. Ss know routine of checking for their name on group board. #LearnLAP

A9: Also, be willing to adapt your plans if a bigger need shows itself. #learnlap

MsCPerrell Sep 19 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A9: realize that groups can/should change based on needs. Adapt lessons- they will not be the same in each small group #LearnLAP

pearse_margie Sep 19 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A8: I like to begin the year with growth mindset, so students pursue understanding and want the help when they need it. #learnlap

FLRichter Sep 19 @ 8:59 PM EDT
