  • Understand the four types of homework. Know when and why to have students practice: Memorization of basic rules, algorithms, or laws so the skill becomes rote. Increase in skill speed, used for improving students' abilities to apply these skills in more complex problem solving. Deepening understanding of a concept—providing students time to read further, elaborating on a new idea and expanding their understanding. Preparation for the following day's learning, such as an advance organizer or cue to increase readiness for new information.
  • Practice means students are engaged in applying new learning, often repeatedly

  • ...4 more annotations...
  • When a school begins to function as a professional learning community, however, teachers become aware of the incongruity between their commitment to ensure learning for all students and their lack of a coordinated strategy to respond when some students do not learn
  • teacher conversations must quickly move beyond "What are we expected to teach?" to "How will we know when each student has learned?"

    I wonder if this would be a useful article to consider in relation to the areas of struggle on MCAII tests?
