The Big Three
Research-Based Practices That Make the Greatest Impact on Student Achievement ~ Lebanon, NH
Grades 3 to 12
OVERVIEW
For teachers in all subject areas at grades 3 through 12, department heads, principals, supervisors, curriculum coordinators, curriculum committee members, and special educators.
Lessen the stress of curriculum demands and state testing by focusing on three best practices:
- The Retrieval Routine to make learning stick
- Ten Percent Summary to teach content and enhance literacy
-
Compare and Contrast Grid to build higher order thinking and multi-paragraph writing skills
You will leave this high energy workshop fully prepared to plan, assign, and quickly evaluate assignments built around our three research-based practices. Participants will receive a resource package with reproducible materials to begin using the next day and to share with colleagues.
OUTCOMES
- Learn about three school-wide practices that every teacher can implement to improve student achievement
- Help students develop general academic vocabulary—the kind needed for success in all disciplines
- Improve student comprehension of informational text while learning course content
- Give quick, clear, productive feedback
- Employ the power of frequent formative assessment and “effortful retrieval”
