My Students

I teach Math to a great group of 5th graders. We have students from many different backgrounds and cultures. We have students working on many different levels, ranging from 3rd to 12th grade. We are a Title I school with a large number of students receiving free and reduced-price lunch. I want to give this wonderful group of kids every chance to show growth this year. Our students as a group enjoy math, which is a rare thing. I want to provide them with experiences that foster that love of math.

My Project

Students grow tired of writing answers to practice problems in their notebooks. They get bored waiting to be called on to answer a question during direct instruction. We also miss out on a class wide formative assessment opportunity for the students that are uncomfortable answering in front of the class. One great way I have found to make all instruction interactive, and provide direct data to drive instruction is through the use of Classroom Responders.

Students will provide instant and ongoing feedback before, during and after instruction through Classroom Responders.

Imagine the impact of knowing as you ask questions during instruction exactly what percentage of students, and which students understand based on data. Students can see what answers were give, but not who gave them, so we can do error analysis to discuses mistakes without embarrassing those that made a mistake.

Clickers let students pace instruction. If the majority have mastered a topic we now it instantly during a lesson, and can move into enrichment or a new topic. When a majority have not mastered a topic we see it during instruction and can provide remediation during the lesson before moving on. Students should drive instruction, Classroom Responders will give me the tools to let them guide my instruction. Clicking to Success.
