Total Physical Response (TPR) - answerIs a technique that matches specific physical
movements to classroom instruction to increase student motivation and retention.
TPR is very effective when teaching academic vocabulary, and it is very engaging for
kinesthetic learners.
(A) TPR is not a break for physical activity.
(B) It uses both verbal and physical responses, not just physical.
(C) It is used to teach vocabulary and concepts across all subjects, not just the ones
that relate to physical activity. Competency 7
______ dictates how students with limited English proficiency are identified, assessed,
placed, monitored, and exited from the ESOL program
- Ensures that all students with limited English proficiency must be identified and
assessed - answerThe Florida Consent Decree
When students participate in a choral chant, they ... - answerrepeat basic concepts
orally and in unison. Teachers can use choral chants to practice basic concepts or to
emphasize critical information.
Diagnostic assessments - answer- are used to determine a student's prior knowledge.
- can be used as a placement test to assess previously acquired skill
- EX: Prerequisite skills tests - are a type of diagnostic assessment that is used to
determine if a student has mastered the prerequisite skills needed to learn a new skill.
Formative assessments - answer- are given during the course of a lesson to assess a
student's comprehension of a particular skill.
- They're given along with instruction to assess student comprehension as they work
toward mastering a standard.
Summative assessments - answerare given at the end of a lesson or series of lessons
to measure comprehension of any standards that were taught.
Cognitive assessments - answerinclude intelligence tests that measure how a student
processes information and at what rate.
- ex: IQ tests measure working memory.
- when measuring a cognitive objective it has three main components: the condition, the
behavior, and the degree.
Criterion-referenced tests - answerare used to assess if a student has mastered a list of
standards.
, - is used to test mastery of specific benchmark standards.
EX: FCAT and PARCC
Performance test - answeris an assessment that requires a student to perform (e.g.,
playing a piece of music in band) or create a product.
Norm-referenced tests - answerAre used to compare student performance to the "norm"
or average student.
- Students are given stanine scores that indicate their performance compared to the
group.
-- A stanine score of 3 means the student is performing below level, since he or she
only scored better than 30 percent of the group.
-- A stanine score of 8 would indicate that the student is performing above level, scoring
higher than 80 percent of the students.
Deductive thinking - answer- Start with a generalized principle, then apply it to specific
situations.
- This is generally a more teacher-centered approach to learning.
Inductive thinking - answer- Occurs when a student takes specific observations and
uses them to come to a generalized conclusion.
- Could be more student-centered
Cooperative learning groups - answer- Should be heterogeneous.
- Students who participate in cooperative learning work together to reach a common
goal.
- Is a critical component of a student-centered classroom.
- Teachers play a critical role in cooperative learning. They are responsible of facilitating
the process, clarifying misconceptions, and monitoring the interactions that go on in the
group.
- It requires interaction between group members.
- The groups should also be changed regularly. Usually groups will last no more than a
few weeks. This will help promote an atmosphere of inclusion in the classroom, since
students will have ample time to interact with a majority of their classmates.
_____ are made up of groups of teachers who meet regularly to reflect on instructional
methods.
It is common for them to analyze student data, share strategies for intervention, and
discuss new ways to meet the needs of the students. - answerReflective learning
communities
- They're also called Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).
What is the difference between an accommodation and a modification? - answer- An
accommodation is a change in the way a child learns.
- A modification is a change in what a child learns.
