The Debriefing occurs at the end of the workshop and gives students an opportunity to be metacognitive as they synthesize, reflect on, and name what they have learned for the day (e.g. sharing out, presenting, etc.)

Formative Assessments are instrumental in maximizing student achievement. By consistently monitoring and checking up on students’ academic progress and using a formative assessment process, teachers can correct and minimize the obstacles in students’ paths. Formative assessments are any measures or indicators a teacher uses during a lesson to monitor what students know and do not know. They can be completed in a variety of ways but are often quick and ungraded. An exit ticket is just one example of an effective formative assessment. Formative assessments can be used by both teachers and students as a means to improve learning.

We would love to feature them in the Instructional Minute.
