T3: Tickets, Tips, and a Technique

Beginnings, Endings, and Dealing With What's In Between

1. TICKETS, Coming and Going…


Do you want to do some leveled grouping, but you are not quite sure exactly who all gets it, and who does not? Here is a way to establish those groups in the first 5 minutes of class. Entrance Tickets.

Some quick examples of entrance tickets used by real teachers:

*Google Form shows if they retained
*QR code links to lesson resources




*Example to establish if they understand the standard? http://goo.gl/Nd1rHI


Did you accomplish your learning target for today? Ask a pointed question that students can quickly articulate and hand to you on the way out the door. Give it a once over as they hand it to you. If they clearly have not put effort into their answer, give the card back to them and have them try again. Remember that it is okay if they are off base as you are trying to establish if the LT was met (but it is still important that they try). For more on EXIT cards and some other heavy hitter formative assessments that focus on the big ideas the Square Head Teachers.
Students can separate themselves.
Establish many different ways to accomplish targets.

2. LARGE CLASS SIZES? 

        >> 1) collaborate & 2) know the kids; accept: 3) time, 4) loudness,  & 5) letting go


3. GENIUS HOUR (remember P.D. day?)

What it is*...


  ... and how it can be used in the classroom:
