Rationale
Dating of assignments or lessons
allows the student and teacher to
easily reference prior work while
building a chronological portfolio of
learning.
State standards provide a common
set of expectations for all learners.
Students are aware that work begins
the minute they enter the
classroom. This activity should be up
and ready to go before all students
are seated.
A learning goal is a statement of
what students will know or be able
to do. Identifying the learning goal
sharpens the focus of learning for
students and allows the teacher to
assess the overall learning of the
goal in the checking for
understanding activity.
The purpose of formative evaluation
is to validate or ensure that the
goals of the instruction are being
achieved and to improve instruction,
if necessary, by means of
identification and subsequent reteaching.
