2007 Peer Coaching Memo
The teacher developed a series of four quarterly take-home exams for their Math 4R Pre-Calculus students over the course of the year through discussions with their peer coach. The exams are done in groups and aim to challenge students to think critically and solve problems requiring more than one class period. Students learn best by explaining topics to peers, and the exams have helped students become more proficient in independently learning new material and taking ownership over topics. As a result, students are now more organized, focused, and able to make coherent mathematical statements and arguments in class.

Top tips questioning - wait time
The document discusses the importance of wait time when teachers ask questions in class. Research shows that the average wait time teachers allow after asking a question is only one second or less. Increasing wait time to three seconds or more has benefits - it improves student achievement and retention, increases higher-level thinking responses, and decreases interruptions and failures to respond. The type of question also matters - lower cognitive questions benefit from three seconds of wait time, while longer wait times foster greater engagement for higher cognitive questions. The document provides strategies for teachers to incorporate appropriate wait times and question types into their classroom practices.

Students can also create their own grids to demonstrate their understanding and retention of key skills and knowledge.
Revision strategies 6
Students have found the following revision strategies helpful: putting post-it notes with details in unusual places around the home to visually remember them; creating rhymes to remember specifics from a unit; using mnemonics to remember keywords, techniques and events. Working with friends in a group where each member teaches the others as an "expert" in their assigned area of a unit can also help with revision. It is important when revising to ask teachers for any missing resources, study in a tidy quiet space, take breaks, stay hydrated, well-rested, well-fed, and to exercise.
Revision strategies 5
Students are provided with creative revision strategies for exam questions, including exploding exam questions into pieces, organizing questions by theme, having students move between tables to add their ideas to different questions, giving students an answer and having them make the question, and identifying the question that does not link to the others. While the examples are math-based, many of the ideas can be transferred to other classrooms. The guide offers teachers a range of strategies for engaging revision activities during class.
Revision strategies 4
Revision strategies include visual aids like diagrams and posters, mnemonics developed with partners to remember key information, and loci where landmarks are associated with content to improve recall. Teachers can implement these in class through activities such as creating visuals, developing mnemonics in pairs, writing practice mark schemes, or generating questions for peers to answer.
Revision strategies 3
The document provides a revision strategy called "revision stories" to help students remember course material. It suggests having students create short stories using their imagination to incorporate key concepts from a lesson. As an example, the document outlines four printing processes - screen, flexography, lithography, and gravure - and includes a sample revision story written by a student to illustrate how this technique can be used. The story portrays the four printing processes as princesses with different personalities and lives that represent their real-world uses and qualities.
Revision strategies 2
Revision foldables provide a concise way for students to review key information from a unit by testing their understanding through interactive exercises. Students create foldables with definitions, diagrams, labels, or tasks hidden underneath folds of paper to quiz themselves or peers on important concepts. These revision tools can be completed in class to build a study aid bank or focused weekly on different topics as a summary exercise at the end of each unit.
Revision strategies 1
The document discusses effective revision strategies for students as compiled by cognitive scientists. It outlines six strategies supported by research: interleaving, elaboration, spaced practice, retrieval practice, using concrete examples, and dual coding. These strategies include switching between topics, explaining ideas in detail, spacing out study over time, using flashcards, relating concepts to experiences, and combining words and visuals. Videos and posters from the researchers are provided as additional resources for teachers and students.
Assessment 6
This document discusses using "zonal marking," also known as "yellow box marking," as a way to provide feedback to students on their work. Teachers can vary the size of the yellow box depending on the expected length of the student's response. They can also vary the improvement instructions, such as asking students to complete or improve the original task, answer a challenge question, or apply a target to another situation. Teachers are also encouraged to have students use the yellow box to indicate which part of an extended answer they want the teacher to focus on providing detailed feedback for.
Assessment 5
Use a question matrix to encourage students to ask different types of questions about topics they have studied. Students can create questions at different levels to self-test or quiz each other. A template in their books allows students to plan progressively deeper thinking questions as they move through a unit of work or project.
Assessment 4
This document discusses five ways to give effective feedback to students as actions: 1) have students re-draft or re-do an assignment, 2) rehearse or repeat an activity through practice, 3) revisit and respond to feedback, 4) re-learn and re-test an area, and 5) research and record information to address feedback. The goal is for feedback to lead to specific, concrete improvements in a student's learning. These five approaches are presented as ways to structure feedback so students know exactly how to apply it.
Assessment 3
Quizzing students regularly is an effective formative assessment technique that allows teachers to evaluate student understanding and adjust lessons accordingly. Short quizzes at the beginning of each lesson, based on homework readings, or at the end of units can help teachers identify material students have mastered or still need more support on. Formative quizzes should be low-stakes to encourage students to take risks and learn from any mistakes without stress. Teachers are encouraged to use tools like Show My Homework or Quizlet to conveniently create and assign review quizzes.
Assessment 2
The document shares research on principles of effective instruction and recommendations for applying them in the classroom. It discusses an article that focuses on instructional practices informed by research on how the brain learns, practices of top-performing teachers, and studies teaching learning strategies to students. It then lists ways to apply these principles, such as beginning lessons with reviews, presenting new material in small steps with practice, checking all students' understanding through questions, providing models and scaffolds for difficult tasks, and requiring independent practice with reviews.
Assessment 1
Improvements on student work should inform students of gaps and assist them to improve for future assessments. Teachers should provide constructive yet concise feedback through one key development point and clearly set expectations for student responses, such as requesting one sentence or further elaboration. Improvements work best when phrased as a question for students to address, and teachers should follow up to check if expectations were met and readiness for new challenges.
Differentiation 5
Differentiation strategies for exam preparation include providing model exam responses at different mark levels and having students analyze and order them, as well as giving a model response above a student's target grade for them to identify strengths and apply those to improving their own answers.
