How do you know whether to move on? Quality hinge questions tell you the misconceptions and what to do next. - If 80% have got it move on... less than 40% reteach - in the middle... capitalize on the moment of uncertainty to unpick it @researchEDBrum #rEDBrum @MrGoodwin23

It's heartbreaking when a student invests time & effort into independent revision, but it doesn't pay off! A lot of revision fails because it feels productive: rereading, highlighting, & copying notes. But familiarity is not evidence of learning.

As always, this was a fun conversation with @mommagordon2. I appreciate her continued willingness to amplify these kinds of teaching practices. Hinge questions on MWB are my #1 tool to elicit evidence of learning mid-lesson to then determine next steps for my instruction. The key is in the quality of the question and knowing what directions you may go based on expected student responses. Check it out and let me know your thoughts! 👇
