Some of the stems suggested are "I like the way you've included...", "That's very effective because...", "That's a good example of...", "This proves you are getting better at...", and "I think the best thing about your work is...". The stems are meant to provide specific, non-specific, positive and helpful feedback to students.
Pre post test
The document summarizes evaluation reports for two students, Ismael Lozada Sanabria and Stephanie Rivera Gonzalez.

5 rs
The document outlines the 5 R's of learning - being resilient, responsible, having reasoning skills, being resourceful, and being reflective. It provides examples of characteristics for each, such as sticking with tasks and having a positive attitude for being resilient, working well in teams and planning ahead for being responsible, gathering evidence and considering different options for reasoning, learning in different ways and asking questions for being resourceful, and learning from mistakes and considering different opinions for being reflective.
Mindset slides
Most of the documents discuss students and peers having a fixed mindset, where they are focused on grades and performance outcomes rather than learning and improvement. They worry about failing and fear looking unintelligent in front of others. Students are stressed by grades and competitive about outperforming peers. A growth mindset of embracing challenges and learning from mistakes is less common.

Action research closer look 2.2.2010
This document outlines the steps for conducting action research in the classroom. It begins with identifying an area of focus or concern, such as improving student achievement or motivation. The researcher then states the specific question or problem they want to address. Some examples given are getting gifted students to value learning over grades and helping underachieving students complete high quality work. The next steps involve gathering information through reconnaissance activities to better understand the area of focus. This includes determining what evidence there is of a problem, which students it affects, and how content is currently taught.
Facilitating High Order of Thinking by Karen Kawilarang
1) The document discusses strategies for facilitating high-order thinking in the classroom. It identifies challenges like focusing too much on content coverage and relying too heavily on lecturing.
2) Various thinking routines are presented that can promote different types of thinking, such as reasoning, perspective-taking, and questioning. Examples include Compass Points, The Why Staircase, and CSI.
3) It is important for learning activities to have a clear purpose and promote meaningful thinking beyond just memorizing or drilling content. Teachers should ask what kinds of thinking they want to develop and ensure activities are worth students' time and effort.
Hpe 448 class #3
This document discusses strategies for effective classroom management. It recommends that teachers establish clear expectations for student behavior by limiting rules to five that are either general or specific. Teachers should explain to students the reasons for rules. When disciplining, teachers should use positive language, focus on the behavior not the student, and ensure consequences are consistently followed through. Effective classroom management allows both teachers and students to teach and learn effectively.

Questioning
This document discusses how questioning can promote learning and effective teaching. It notes that good questions stimulate thinking, generate more questions to clarify understanding, reveal student misconceptions and push both students and teachers to the limits of their understanding. Questioning works best when all students get a chance to answer, think about responses, discuss answers, and when questions stimulate more questions and thinking rather than having clear-cut answers. The document also outlines techniques teachers can use called "Pose, Pause, Pounce, Bounce" to effectively structure questioning in the classroom.

Positive Interventions
Creating a positive classroom climate is essential for effective teaching and student learning. Teachers should get to know their students, allow students to know each other, and respect diverse backgrounds. They should also clearly communicate expectations, encourage participation, and make themselves available to students. Adjusting teaching methods and seating arrangements can further engage students and promote an environment where all feel comfortable contributing to the class.

Essential questions
The documents discuss essential questions, which make students think more deeply about a topic rather than just looking up simple answers. Essential questions do not have yes or no answers and require research and thought to fully respond to. Developing essential questions engages students' curiosity and helps define what it means to be human. The documents recommend having students help generate essential questions for a topic as this makes them more invested in finding answers through additional research.

Questioning
This document discusses questioning strategies for reading comprehension. It describes modeling questioning aloud while reading and thinking to students. The teacher chooses a book to read that will prompt questions, like a mystery. As they read, the teacher thinks aloud, asking questions and writing them on sticky notes placed in the text. Students then practice questioning independently. Different levels of questioning are discussed, from basic recall to more advanced analysis, evaluation and creation. Key words are provided to help form each level of question. The goal is to get students actively engaged in questioning to improve their understanding and enjoyment of reading.
Questions D1
Ted Leach reflects on his experience mentoring a new teacher. He struggles at first to provide straightforward answers to her insightful questions about teaching methods. Over time, through their ongoing conversations, he comes to realize that being a good teacher is not about having all the answers, but rather asking the right questions. He hopes that by the end of her apprenticeship, she leaves with more questions than answers, as questioning is what will help her continue growing as a great teacher.
Chapter 4 presentation
This document discusses various techniques teachers can use to understand students' current level of knowledge and thinking in order to plan effective instruction. It emphasizes the importance of exploring students' ideas before instruction rather than making assumptions. Specific techniques discussed include asking diagnostic questions, using wait time after posing questions, and implementing all-student response systems to gather real-time feedback from all learners. The document stresses using this feedback to make adjustments to instruction that meet students' current learning needs.

Ask, Don't Tell Excerpt
This chapter discusses the power of questions to invite learning and foster human connection. It argues that asking questions comes naturally to humans and is how we learn from a young age through curiosity and engaging with others. The brain's natural tendency is bottom-up processing to find things of interest, which can then lead to top-down processing when we focus our attention. Questions remind us that learning is wired into our brains and tapping into curiosity invokes engagement. Questions also build relationships as they demand responses and connect people in conversations. Effective teachers use questions strategically to engage students and encourage dialogue rather than monologue. Questions are key to educational change by focusing thinking and driving critical conversations.
