During warm up time, Mrs. Kelly is taking attendance and checking for homework completion so she cannot monitor the students while they are completing the warm up. At the end of the week, she collects the warm up sheet for a grade; however, she notices that the students are just simply writing the answer down and not showing their work. How can she make sure the students are actually completing the warm up and not just writing the answer down when she goes over it? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Perhaps you can have the students do their warmups in an interactive notebook. Monday and Tuesday they do the warmup and they check-in on Wednesday with the teacher before they leave class. (Think exit ticket) This will allow the teacher to check if they've done the work and time before Friday for them to catch up if they missed a day or two. Allow opportunities for success and failure.. While making sure that students are actually completing the work.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is a great way to make sure students are doing their work in the middle of the week instead of the end so that if need be, they would have time to go back and do the work before the end of the week. Students would know that they have to show their work or the teacher will find out. Rated On: October 18, 2014 8:56 pm Rated By: esaSaV
