Encourage students to work hard and carefully by choosing exemplary or illustrative student work to review and revise with the whole class.
Break down lengthy or elaborate processes into discrete steps that students can perform sequentially. This strategy can be an important tool for success.
Start and end class with a short assessment by using daily warm-ups and exit slips; this will maximize instruction time and help you track student progress, plus it will validate the students’ efforts
Give students an accurate sense of their own understanding by requiring them to revise and elaborate answers or work that are nearly—but not entirely—correct.
