After reading this article.
1) Can exit slips be a part of how teachers and students are informed about needing additional help ( remediation ) in your department?
2) Which of the four (4) types of exit slips connected most with you?
3) What questions do you still have?
1. I think exit slips are a nice obvious way to inform students and teaches about needing additional help. Although I stress the need for students to seek help if needed, this may be a nice easy way for students to to ask.
ReplyDelete2. I like the formative and student self analysis for a routinely used exit slip. Reflecting on the learning objectives, and if they obtained the "Students should be able to do...." part are good things to en class with.
I have used the other two types of passes at various times in the year. Like end of a unit, or semester.
3. I feel like students have an unrealistic view of what they "understand" or their "effort" level. Are these worthwhile reflections if the students views are obscured?
1) Absolutely! Not only is this an easy and safe way for students to communicate their individual learning needs, I can also see it as a way to ask students if they even know the process of remediation-such as "What do you need to do before retesting" or "When should you plan to complete your remediation?"
ReplyDelete2) The first three seem to fit my style: obviously, I will check in on their understanding, but they often work on their own or small groups, so I want them to reflect on their parts. Lastly, I am often attempting new teaching strategies, so I also see myself using the third one discussed.
3) None thank you!
1 - I definitely think exit slips are a way to determine what content pieces require remediation. It can help identify those students that are struggling with things in general or ones that just have specific content questions. With class sizes being large and the students that seem to understand the best being the loudest sometimes, it would be a nice way to get a snap shot of what the students are understanding individually rather than as a whole class.
ReplyDelete2 - I particularly liked the idea of asking students what they could have done better to help enhance their learning that day in class. Self-reflection is not something we do well as teachers and don't always ask the students to do as well. I could see this question coming after the confusion questions. Combining the two to help them realize they don't understand something and what is the reason for that misunderstanding. Was it something about the material or was it my behavior in class.
3 - My question would be about time!!! With only seeing the students 3 days a week it seems hard to go back and reteach topics without falling behind the schedule. Maybe the remediation site is something we use throughout the unit and not just at the end of the unit for those who need help with a particular subject. There's not just a lot of time in class to go back!!
