Do Now

What is the purpose of the following two techniques?

• Do Now

• Exit Ticket

What are the factors that make a Do Now or Exit Ticket effective?


Practice - Planning and Assessment (Part 2)


Session overview: PDF links

Standards

Theme 2: Plan Effectively

Theme 3: Instruction

Theme 4: Ensure Progress

PDF themes

2.3 Plans clear, concise instructions and explanations to support pupil learning

3.1 Presents ideas, knowledge and concepts clearly (e.g. clear modelling/dual coding) and concisely to support pupil understanding and avoid cognitive overload

4.1 Builds in formative assessment points throughout the lesson to check for understanding

4.2 When presenting ideas, knowledge and concepts, uses strategies to ensure there is high ratio and participation in the classroom


Session outcomes

For TLaC techniques Name the Steps and Show Me you will:

• know their purpose in a lesson

• know what each should look like in practice

• have practised and given feedback on each technique


Name the Steps (TLaC 21)

Break down complex concepts into clear steps to improve pupil understanding and to highlight any pupil misconceptions.

Page 164 of TLaC 2.0

Rosenshine Principle: Present new material in small steps with

pupil practise after each step


Name the Steps

Success criteria

• The concept is broken down into steps.

• The steps are logical to fit with the concept or process.

• The steps are numbered.

• Where appropriate, the steps are displayed visually using words

or pictures.


Waterfalls often form in the upper stages of a river where the

river flows over different bands of rock. The flowing water

erodes the soft rock more quickly than the hard rock,

undercutting the hard rock. The hard rock is left overhanging

and because it is overhanging, eventually collapses. The fallen

rocks crash into the plunge pool and the water causes them to

swirl around, further eroding the soft rock causing more

erosion. Over time, this process is repeated and the waterfall

moves upstream.

Waterfall formation

4.The fallen rocks crash into the plunge

pool and the water causes them to swirl

around, causing more erosion.

5.Over time, this process is repeated and

Show Me (TLaC 5)Pupils actively show the teacher evidence of their understanding.

Two common types of Show Me are:

1. mini white boards

2. hand signals or cards

Page 47 of TLaC 2.0

Rosenshine Principles

• Ask assessment questions to gather understanding from all pupils.

• Check for understanding before beginning independent activity.

• Obtain a high success rate.

• Assess pupil knowledge.


Show Me: Key points

• Ask a high leverage question

• Be ready to do something with the information

• Pupils need to respond in unison

• Avoid subjective responses


Script: 4 mins Script one or two Show Me questions

Roles: One Teacher (T), one Feedbacker (FB)

Timing: ~2.5 minutes/round60s: T models ‘Show Me’30s: FB gives T feedback based on criteria60s: T re-practises ‘Show Me’

Rotation: Person with the longest middle name is the teacher first then going clockwise around the roles

Success criteria

• The question gathers objective responses.

• The question allows the teacher to understand what the pupils

know/understand.

• Pupils are asked to show their boards/fingers in unison.

Time to practise: Show Me
