How do you know whether to move on?

Quality hinge questions tell you the misconceptions and what to do next.

- If 80% have got it move on... less than 40% reteach
- in the middle... capitalize on the moment of uncertainty to unpick it

‘What teachers think about disciplinary literacy’

“As reading & writing success is synonymous with academic success, disciplinary literacy isn't a nice-to-have extra for teachers. Instead, it is fundamental to success for every student.”

1/4 Checking for understanding is often framed as a way for teachers to decide what to do next.

But that’s only half the story.

Every time we ask students to retrieve, explain, or apply something new, we give them the chance to rehearse and consolidate what are, at that stage,

📣 CHECKING FOR UNDERSTANDING! “If there’s one thing to get right in teaching, it’s Checking for Understanding.” This one-page guide breaks down how to thread CfU checks into every lesson — inspired by the ‘How Learning Happens’ work by @C_Hendrick and @HughesHaili

It's heartbreaking when a student invests time & effort into independent revision, but it doesn't pay off! A lot of revision fails because it feels productive: rereading, highlighting, & copying notes.
But familiarity is not evidence of learning.

Responsive Revision is built on a simple principle: Generate evidence. Diagnose gaps. Close them through targeted retrieval practice.

Retrieve. 🧠
Diagnose.❓
Act. 📝
Repeat. 🔁

As always, this was a fun conversation with @mommagordon2. I appreciate her continued willingness to amplify these kinds of teaching practices.

Hinge questions on MWB are my #1 tool to elicit evidence of learning mid-lesson to then determine next steps for my instruction. The key is in the quality of the question and knowing what directions you may go based on expected student responses. Check it out and let me know your thoughts! 👇
