Ask them to report their score and reflect on the questions they missed.</p> <div id="jit"></div> <h5>Use a just-in-time approach for formative assessment</h5> <p>In a just-in-time approach, students submit responses to questions at least an hour before class, and no more than 24 hours before. You review their responses before class begins and adjust in-class activities to build on their current understanding and ideas. A simple question like, “What surprised you or interested you from this reading?” can elicit student ideas and help them connect personally to the reading.</p> <p>The goal of assigning these questions to be completed before class is to allow you to see responses ahead of time, summarize their responses, and modify your teaching accordingly. It is helpful to keep the grading very simple so that you can read and give points for them very quickly, in 20-30 minutes prior to class. You can use a very simple, 2-point rubric for these questions that encourages complete responses over finding the "right" answer:</p> <ul> <li>2 points: Complete and thoughtful answer to the question</li> <li>1.5 points: Complete answer but does not go beyond what is written in text</li> <li>1 point: Partial answer, does not support response</li> <li>0.5 points: Minimal answer, just a few words</li> <li>0 points: No response</li> </ul> <div id="anno"></div> <h5>For future teachers: Show NGSS annotations</h5> <p>Do you have future teachers in your course? They will need to be comfortable with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) when they start teaching. You can help them gain confidence by encouraging them to use the toggle to show NGSS annotations in the modules, read the full annotations, and reflect on how the three dimensions of science and engineering practices, cross-cutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas are integrated in the real process of science.</p> <div id="explore"></div> <h4>Deepening understanding</h4> <div id="explore"></div> <h5>Explore the data and figures</h5> <p>Help your students engage with the data-rich figures and animations in their readings. These are available at high resolution by clicking on them: you can project them in class or print them out on handouts to serve as the starting point for group discussions. Ask students to explain the figure to each other, or generate questions about the figure. See our module Using Graphs and Visual Data in Science to help students practice explaining graphs.</p><div id="scire"></div><h5>Explore the scientists and their research</h5> <p>Help your students connect to scientists by further exploring the individuals they read about, or finding others who have worked on similar research.</p> <p>You can also further explore their published papers with students. See our module Understanding Scientific Journals and Articles for ideas to help students read the literature.</p> </div> </div> </div>   <div class="order-1 order-2--lg module__tools"> <div class="narrow margin-x-auto position-sticky-top font-size-md"> <div class="padding-2 border-radius box-shadow-1--lg"> <div class="tabs" role="tablist"> <hr class="divider" /> <div class="tabs__panel shown" id="tab-panel-module__tools" aria-labelledby="tab-button-module__tools" role="tabpanel"> <p class="module__tools__title"> Table of Contents </p> <div class="table-of-contents" id="module-toc"> <ul> <li><a href="/en/library/Process-of-Science/49/Scientists-and-the-Scientific-Community/172/resources#assign">Assign the reading quiz</a></li> <li><a href="/en/library/Process-of-Science/49/Scientists-and-the-Scientific-Community/172/resources#jit">Use a just-in-time approach for formative assessment</a></li> <li><a href="/en/library/Process-of-Science/49/Scientists-and-the-Scientific-Community/172/resources#anno">For future teachers: Show NGSS annotations</a></li> <li><a href="/en/library/Process-of-Science/49/Scientists-and-the-Scientific-Community/172/resources#explore">Explore the data and figures</a></li> <li><a href="/en/library/Process-of-Science/49/Scientists-and-the-Scientific-Community/172/resources#scire">Explore the scientists and their research</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="margin-3"> <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9561344156007092" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>  <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-9561344156007092" data-ad-slot="7634263342" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div> </div>   </div> </article> </main>   <footer class="position-relative box-shadow-1 font-size-md" id="global-footer"> <h2 class="screen-reader-only">Page Footer</h2> <div class="back-to-top"> <div class="container wide"> <button class="button button--has-icon font-size-sm"> <span class="icon icon-arrow-up"></span> <span class="button__text">Back to top</span> </button> </div> </div> <div class="container wide padding-y-2"> <div class="grid grid--column-2--md grid--column-4--lg gap-4 grid--divider--fill-x"> <nav> <ul class="nav font-weight-bold"> <li> <a href="/en/library" title="Readings & quizzes"> Library </a> </li> <li> <a href="/en/glossary" title="Science terms"> Glossary </a> </li> <li> <a href="/en/classroom" title="Courses & bookmarks"> Classroom </a> </li> </ul> </nav> <nav> <ul class="nav"> <li><a href="/en/about">About</a></li> <li><a href="/en/help">Contact</a></li> <li><a href="/en/about/jobs">Jobs</a></li> <li><a href="/en/help/faq">FAQ</a></li> </ul> </nav> <div> <ul class="nav nav--horizontal margin-bottom-2"> <li> <a class="display-flex" href="https://www.nsf.gov" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <img src="/images/sponsor-nsf.png" width="60" height="60" alt="US Education Department Logo" /> </a> </li> <li> <a class="display-flex" href="https://www.ed.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <img src="/images/sponsor-doe.png" width="60" height="60" alt="US Education Department Logo" /> </a> </li> </ul> <p>Visionlearning is supported by the The National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education.
