Whip around review

At end of class, have students list 3 things they learned that day. Do a whip around and share. 

Hope this helps.

Student teacher feedback

For those that host student teachers, here's a tip that has worked really well for us:

Have your student teacher create all lesson plans in a Google doc that is shared with the cooperating teacher and also with the supervising university professor.  During the lesson, the GBN teacher can make notes in the Google doc as the lesson is happening. Not only is this a great way to provide feedback to your student teacher, but the university can also see what types of opportunities your student teacher is getting, how it is going, and what type of feedback you are providing.   This really helps to facilitate the cooperation between GBN and the colleges/universities that send us student teachers. And, at the end of the student teaching assignment, the student will have a comprehensive list of all of the lessons that they taught, with your feedback to help them tweak their lessons in the future.

Alternative to traditional assignment notebook

For the kids who have a tough time keeping up with their assignment notebook,
offer them an alternative.  Let them use their cell phone to take a picture of the homework assignment that's written on the board.  Whatever works, right?

Using a student document as the answer key

When we do worksheets on the computer, I like to tell the students that we will use one of theirs as the answer key. They tend to really try to be that first person to get it done and all correct.   When all are done, we go over it as a class and project it on the screen.  If the "key" person makes a mistake, I fix it as a teacher and make it sound like it was no big deal to make that mistake.  Everyone else has to fix theirs as we go over it, but the key person does not have to, since I am doing it on the screen for them.  Works well in Accounting and other classes.

Exit slip on main points

We like to have our students complete a quick exit slip at the end of class to reinforce whatever main point we've made in class for the day.  However, we've been going through a lot of paper by doing this.  So we have started having the students write on a white board.  We have small white board paddles, but you can also make your own with a piece of white paper and a page protector.  Students must show us their answer before they can walk out the door!

Fact Swap for videos or worksheet alternative

I wanted to share my 'Fact Swap' worksheet that I love to use with videos for a quick and easy something to do instead of a set worksheet.  I pass this out (or have them recreate it on scratch paper) and they only fill in the top three while they are watching the video.  After it is over they walk around the room and fill in the other six boxes with facts that their classmates wrote down.  All nine must be different once they are done!  :)  Great way to turn three facts into nine!!!
