Jane's Update (8/15/2016): One of the questions that arose this afternoon was about "leveling" your students for small group instruction, etc. I found out that there are leveling assessments under the "Informal Assessment" section of the Assessment tab. It explains the process and directs you to which leveling test you can use for your grade level, but of course you can also use any other leveling test that you're familiar with or already using.

= Literature Discussions =
 * Adapted from //Making Thinking Visible//**

Use this graphic organizer with the See-Think-Wonder strategy. __**Purpose**__: Is to allow students the opportunity to dig deeper into a topic or text.

Present an image for students to view. Ask them to silently observe the image and write down anything they see onto the graphic organizer. Students can share what they see with a partner or their group and record those comments under "classmate". Repeat the observing, responding, sharing for "think" and "wonder".

3 minute conference form
Feeback: 70 % of much of our feedback is NOT useful for learning. What feedback IS GOOD for learning?

Effective Feedback Characteristics:
 * 1) FOCUS on the learning INTENTIONS. Point out STRENGTHS and give specific information to guide improvement
 * 2) Do it DURING learning, while there is time to ACT on it
 * 3) Point out partial understanding (not focus only on misunderstanding)
 * 4) Don't do the THINKING FOR the student
 * 5) LIMIT the advice/corrective information to an amount the student can ACT on
