It suggests that the amount of homework should vary by grade level, with about 10 minutes per grade. Homework should have a clearly identified purpose and receive feedback. Practice is most effective when it is focused, allows students to adapt their learning, and includes both procedural and conceptual understanding over repeated exposure spread out over time.
Measuring Student Achievement Through Rigor, Not Test ScoresDouglas Reeves
Teacher accountability systems that rely solely on test score improvements can incentivize artificially lowering student scores on initial tests. Instead, measuring increased levels of rigor in coursework and assignments can better demonstrate teacher effectiveness by showing students are learning at higher levels, even if their grades do not change. For example, asking students to write fully researched papers using multiple sources by year's end signals more advanced skills than single-source essays at the start of school.
Formal coaching can support teachers to become more effective educators. The coach works closely with teachers, assisting with lesson planning, modeling instruction, co-teaching, and observing math lessons. The goal is to improve student achievement. Teachers may focus on areas like problem-solving lessons, creating interactive whiteboard lessons, formative assessment, using manipulatives, differentiating instruction, and supplementing curriculum materials to fully address outcomes. The coach can model full and partial lessons on teacher-selected outcomes to demonstrate strategies.

This document discusses teaching metacognition to help students self-assess their own learning. It explains that metacognition involves awareness of one's thinking and reasoning processes during learning. The document outlines why teaching metacognition is important, as students often overestimate their abilities and lack necessary skills. It recommends three critical steps: reminding students ability can improve, stressing goal-setting and evaluation, and providing practice monitoring learning. Several metacognitive tools and activities are presented, like quizzes, rubrics and response systems, with examples of how to implement them.
The document discusses six secrets of highly effective lesson design: 1) addressing students' prior knowledge, 2) having students explore and question rather than receive didactic lectures, 3) using varied activities to engage students, 4) using formative assessments to evaluate lessons, 5) providing high cognitive demand tasks for conceptual understanding, and 6) having students arrive at conclusions and evaluate knowledge through questions and exercises. The document emphasizes the importance of lesson design in ensuring equity in students' opportunities to learn mathematics.
The document discusses acceleration and remediation approaches for helping students who are academically behind. It argues that remediation, which focuses on mastering past concepts, often decreases student motivation. Acceleration prepares students for new learning by strategically building the prior knowledge needed to understand new concepts. The document outlines the key steps of the acceleration approach, including generating interest, setting clear goals, scaffolding prerequisite skills, introducing vocabulary, teaching new concepts, and frequent formative assessment. This approach aims to increase student engagement and academic progress by making lessons relevant and ensuring students can access challenging new material.

This document discusses strategies for preparing students in the United Arab Emirates to perform well on international assessments like PISA and TIMSS. It outlines Education Initiative's multi-phase approach, which includes analyzing student performance data and thinking skills, developing learning content and questions, and creating variations to build problem-solving abilities rather than just teaching to the test. The goal is to ensure every student is prepared through deep conceptual learning, practice with old test questions, and targeted support for misconceptions.
This document discusses how to prepare students for international assessments like PISA and TIMSS through Mindspark's approach. It involves analyzing past assessment questions and student thinking to build content and approaches. This includes creating variations of questions, games, and remedial activities to develop deep conceptual learning and problem-solving skills rather than just "teaching to the test." The goal is to have every student prepared through weekly activities to combat misconceptions and practice time management strategies. Top schools in the UAE and India are also part of talent search programs to identify gifted students.
