Student Practice

A process that follows active teaching where students explore and practice, under the teacher’s guidance, the content and skills taught during a lesson

Working Towards Independence

Student practice allows the teacher to guide students’ thinking before they practice independently. 

Student practice follows active teaching and is not graded. Instead, it is where you clarify any misconceptions the students have about the lesson and how to reach the learning objective.

Encourage reflection by asking students:

  • How do you know that? 
  • Why do you think that is so? 
  • What led you to think that? 
  • Did something you learned in another lesson (class, time) lead you to that answer? 
  • Can you share another example with me?
