6th grade is studying cycles and Earth materials in my Science class right now! Last week we learned about The Rock Cycle and how the rock types are created by using old crayons to form "rocks". #BCBEfullSTEAMahead#STEMeducation#baldwinproud#sciencerocks
@DitchThatTxtbk A4: The most used retrieval practices in my classroom are exit tickets and asking quick questions to review lessons from previous days. These activities forces students to reflect on their learning and retrieve the learning again. #ditchbook
@DitchThatTxtbk A3: One of the best ways for me to retain learning and "make it stick" is to actually use and review that learning. If it's a new teaching strategy, I like to start using it immediately so I don't forget. #ditchbook
@DitchThatTxtbk A2: I think the use of bell ringers and exit tickets definitely help! I use them in my classroom and it forces students to think back to the lesson and what information they gained from my instruction that day. #ditchbook
@DitchThatTxtbk A1: A focus on long-term learning and retrieval will allow learners (ourselves as learners and students) to retain the knowledge that they gain rather than only learning it to be used once. #ditchbook
