success criteria
Support provided by the teacher to guide students through complex tasks or guided questions to keep conversations productive.
scaffolding
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
Scoring guides used to evaluate student work based on predefined criteria. Rubrics provide students with clear expectations and consistent feedback on their performance.
rubrics
Using data from formative assessments to inform instructional decisions. This approach helps teachers identify student needs and adjust teaching strategies accordingly.
data-driven instruction
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
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
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
Encouraging students to think about their learning process, successes and challenges. Reflection helps students internalize feedback and use it to improve future performance.
reflection
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

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
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
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.
