Demonstration of Learning
Guiding Question: Do All Students Demonstrate That They Are Learning?
Provide students extensive opportunities to demonstrate their learning. Use questions, tasks, and assessments that yield data allowing you to assess students’ progress toward learning goals and help you pinpoint where understanding breaks down.
Engage in the interdependent inquiry cycles that exist between students' needs, progress, and outcomes, and the way you plan in response to them. Students' responses, work, and interactions will demonstrate that they are on track to achieve stated or implied grade-level and/or IEP-aligned learning goals.

- Provide opportunities to apply learning to a real-world setting.
Respond to Student Misunderstanding
- Provide meaningful oral and written feedback to students.
- Provide corrective feedback to students judiciously and selectively.
- Recognize the root of student errors and reteach or reframe content to address the underlying cause of student misunderstanding.
