The specific indicators or benchmarks that show whether students have met the learning objective. Defining success criteria helps both teachers and students understand what mastery looks like.
success criteria
Allowing students to select their own topics or themes for writing assignments. When students have options, they are more engaged and motivated because the writing feels more personally relevant.
choice
Feedback provided by students to one another. This strategy promotes collaborative learning and helps students develop critical thinking and communication skills.
peer-feedback
A process in which students evaluate their own work or progress based on set criteria. Self-assessment encourages reflection and helps students take ownership of their learning.
self-assessment
Ongoing assessments used by teachers to monitor student learning and provide timely feedback for improvement. These assessments help guide instruction and improve student outcomes.
formative assessment
Scoring guides used to evaluate student work based on predefined criteria. Rubrics provide students with clear expectations and consistent feedback on their performance.
rubrics
A clear, specific statement that outlines what students should know or be able to do by the end of a lesson. Purposeful objectives help guide instruction and focus student learning on key outcomes.
learning objective
Encouraging students to think about their learning process, successes and challenges. Reflection helps students internalize feedback and use it to improve future performance.
reflection
A structured approach to conversation that ensures all students in a small group have the opportunity to speak. Turn-taking helps balance participation and ensures that quieter students contribute.
turn-taking
An instructional approach where students work together in small groups to solve problems, discuss ideas, or complete tasks. This encourages peer interaction and shared responsibility for learning.
collaborative learning
Writing for an audience beyond the teacher, such as peers, family members, or the broader community. Knowing their work will be shared or published can motivate students to take their writing more seriously.
authentic audience
A disciplined questioning technique used to explore complex ideas, uncover assumptions, and distinguish what we know from what we don’t know. It encourages deep thinking through open-ended questions that challenge underlying beliefs.
socratic questioning
The process of thinking about one’s own thinking. It involves awareness and regulation of cognitive processes , such as planning, monitoring, and evaluating one’s understanding and problem-solving strategies.
metacognition
Clear, measureable, objectives that define what students should know to be able to do after a lesson or unit. These goals guide formative assessments and feedback.
learning goals
Incorporating students’ diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences into writing activities. This fosters inclusivity and allows students to express themselves more authentically.
culturally responsive
The level of control, autonomy, and power students have in their learning process. When students have agency, they take ownership of their learning, leading to higher engagement and motivation.
student agency
Regularly tracking student progress toward learning goals through formative assessments. Progress monitoring helps teachers adjust instruction in real-time to support student growth.
progress monitoring
Support provided by the teacher to guide students through complex tasks or guided questions to keep conversations productive.
scaffolding
The internal drive to engage in learning for personal satisfaction or interest rather than external rewards. Intrinsic motivation leads to meaningful engagement as students find value and purpose in what they are learning.
intrinsic motivation
A type of classroom dialogue where students are encouraged to justify their thinking, ask clarifying questions, and engage respectfully with others’ ideas. In small groups, this promotes deeper understanding and critical thinking.
accountable talk
A quick formative assessment given at the end of a lesson to gauge student understanding. Exit tickets provide immediate feedback on whether students have grasped the lesson’s objectives and guide future instruction.
exit ticket
Ensuring that all group members are involved and engaged in the conversation. Strategies like think-pair-share or assigning discussion questions can help foster inclusive participation, making sure every voice is heard.
inclusive participation
Information given to students about their performance relative to learning goals. Effective feedback is timely, specific, and actionable, helping students understand their strengths and areas for improvement.
feedback
Working together with peers to achieve a common goal or complex task. Collaborative activities foster student engagement by encouraging communication, teamwork, and the sharing of diverse perspectives.
collaboration
Using data from formative assessments to inform instructional decisions. This approach helps teachers identify student needs and adjust teaching strategies accordingly.
data-driven instruction
Adapting instruction and assessment to meet the diverse needs of learners. Differentiation ensures that formative assessments are appropriate for students’ individual abilities.
differentiation
A concept from Bloom’s Taxonomy that involves the advanced stages of cognitive processing, such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, where learners must go beyond mere memorization to apply, critique, and create new understanding.
higher order thinking
Integrating different forms of media - such as videos, podcasts, or infographics - into writing assignments. This approach allows students to engage with content in diverse ways, making writing more dynamic and aligned with how they consume info
multimodal writing
A learning approach where students actively participate in the learning process through activities like discussions, problem-solving, and hands-on-tasks. Active learning promotes deeper understanding and retention of material.
active learning
Relating writing tasks to students’ lives, current events, or real-world issues. This makes writing more meaningful and helps students see the purpose behind their work.
real- world connections
The process through which students work together to clarify and understand each other’s ideas. In small groups, this involves active listening, questioning, and rephrasing to ensure mutual understanding.
negotiation of meaning
