Goal One of this Presentation
1) You will explore and SEE techniques
for cognitively engaging every child
all the time in your classrooms.
What is cognitively engaged?
Take one of your index cards
and write a definition of
“cognitively engaged.”
Now, share your definition with
the person next to you.
Goal TWO of this Presentation
2) We will think about how to use these
techniques to check for evidence of
student learning in a constant cycle of
improving teaching and learning in our
classrooms.
Ask yourself….
• If I never speak a word of
English, how will I know that
my students understand and
are learning???
How will I know my students understand and are learning?
A) I will ask them if they understand.
B) I will wait until they ask questions.
C) I will give them a test at the end of the
unit.
D) I will involve them in many activities that
show me what they are learning as we go
through the lesson and unit.
Hold up the letter or number that you think is the best answer!
Share with a neighbor which one you
chose.
Let’s debrief as a whole group.
What are the problems with A,B, and C?
A) I will ask them if they understand.
B) I will wait until they ask questions.
C) I will give them a test at the end of
the unit.
Let’s Use the Emotion Cards
Hold up the Emotion Card that
best describes how you feel
about your preparation to
manage a class full of
American children.
Look Around You to See How Others Feel!
Hold up the card that describes
how you felt LAST year as you
prepared to teach your first
class of American children.
How do you feel THIS year?
Goal THREE of this Presentation
3) We will discuss how to
use TPTs to improve your
classroom-management
skills.
Our Three Goals Today
• Finding techniques to:
1) Engage ALL children ALL the time
2) Check for understanding/evidence
of learning
3) Manage the classroom more
effectively.
Big Idea 1: Cognitive Engagement
“By engaged learning, we mean that all student activities involve active cognitive processes such as creating, problem-solving, reasoning, decision-making, and evaluation. In addition, students are intrinsically motivated to learn due to the meaningful nature of the learning environment and activities.” Engagement Theory- Kearsley and Shneiderman
Big Idea 2: The prompt is everything!
“Student interaction will only be as powerful as your prompts.” (pg. 13)
Ask a native speaker of your language the
following question in that language :
(in French, for example)
What do you wear to work?
Now, think about the answer that person gave you.
Was it 3-4 words?Was it a complete sentence?Was it a string of sentences?
What Proficiency Level is that Person?
A string of words means that
person is a NOVICE speaker of
your language…
You didn’t ask a question that let that person respond in more than a string of 3-4 words….
THE QUESTION IS EVERYTHING if
you want kids to learn to speak in
more than one-word utterances.
Big Idea 3: Checking for Understanding
Assessment FOR Learning
Assessment is central to learning, not something you do
at the end!
Total Participation Techniques

understanding.
• provide you with effective
ongoing formative
assessments.
