kkoller on 01 Aug 16Does Class Learning snapshot come from CAST or is it from your own classroom assessments? As a district we use STAR for Reading and Math. Though this I am able to get a learner profile for each student/ group of students.

inquiry-based instruction stands a better chance of demolishing the misconceptions — eliminating them completely — by encouraging and allowing students to discover fundamental principles on their own.

Inquiry based instruction allows students to dig right into their learning, take what they already know or think they know and apply it. The hardest part for teachers is giving up the control to your room, and allow students to "just go". I love the conversations with students after they discover a misconception because you can ask them to dig deeper by thinking why.

Teachers struggling to find time for both free and structured play may find it beneficial to fuse the two.

I try to every Friday to do "Friday Fun". During this time I set some boundaries, but allow for a lot of student creativity. I pick out certain recess toys, students then come up when they see someone take the one they want to play with, however I limit it to only 4 or 5 a game. If there are too many they have to decide on their own who gets to stay. Once they are playing they have to decide what they are playing and solve problems amongst themselves. They cannot involve me in anyway, unless obviously something breaks or isn't working.
