I love a good bullet point list. These resources will be very useful. #tlt407 #backwardsplanning

@emily_glueck I was thinking the same thing the other week. I wish I could write them early but it makes sense why you can’t.

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

@Sartini22743127 It’s good to focus on all at times, never just one.

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

As someone who constantly writes checklists on post-it notes for myself, this planning checklist is extremely appealing and satisfying. #tlt407 #backwardsplanning

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

@emily_glueck I think that you will do a good job of being that teacher that will promote discussion and have a great learning environment for your students :)

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

@SalduttiMaria Even if new ways to solve a problem are more challenging for the student, it still benefits them!

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

As someone who wants to teach science, I found this chart to be helpful in outlining a way to assess a student because it gives a specific learning target. #tlt407 #backwardsplanning

@Ian54035688 I mentioned in another reply, but I think there is a difficult balance between giving constructive feedback and then just giving away answers. Checking in on a student’s response to feedback is a good idea.

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

@emily_glueck I thought this section was very interesting. I never considered that feedback can have shortcuts to learning. There is a fine line I think between constructive feedback and then just giving answers away.

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

Different students perform well in different circumstances and knowing that some students get anxious about assessments, the teacher should mix it up to build up the students’ confidence as well as challenge them. #tlt407 #backwardsplanning

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

@emily_glueck I know that I’ve always greatly appreciated when teachers wrote back to me with meaning. Otherwise, if I didn’t do well but received no feedback I wouldn’t learn anything!

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

@SalduttiMaria Also if the teacher creates the assessment on their own and it is creative, the students will respect that and it will build a good relationship between teacher and student.

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

I really like this chart outlining the SMART goals. Having the questions in there gives us more direction as teachers, too. #tlt407 #backwardsplanning

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

@emily_glueck Preparation is key and will make running the classroom go smoother.

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

@SalduttiMaria I agree. I always liked when teachers asked me to write what questions I have down. It also is more comfortable for some students to write them instead of talking out loud.

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

@SalduttiMaria It’s not a good feeling either when you spend so much time memorizing something use it once for a test and then it just disappears from your brain.

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

@emily_glueck I agree and also it makes the lessons more engaging because knowing how what you’re learning relates to the real world makes it more meaningful.

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

This idea always seems to come up in school, yet it amazes me how many times I felt like I was doing a lot of busy work and fulfilling the breadth aspect. It is important to hit the depth, and I want to focus on this when I am a teacher. #tlt407 #backwardsplanning

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

@Ian54035688 Totally relate to this, too. I guess the trick is to figure out what the most important parts are and how to actively engage the class.

[Lehigh Ada Patterson @ada_lehigh]

@emily_glueck This is so important because memorizing is not the same as retaining in a comprehensive manner.
