My name is Kathleen Thelen. I live in Northern Kentucky with my husband and two teenage children. I work at River Ridge as a second grade teacher. Some of the things that I like to do in my spare time are reading and gardening.
Three things that I do in my classroom that promote student-learning are exit slips, flashbacks, and display learner targets.
According to the reading that I've done these are good ways to promote student learning. Gail Weinstein writes about teaching with accountability and these items listed above help me to be accountable to the students in their learning.
According to Dr. Bonk, it is important to engage students in learning, and these items help me to accomplish that.
NKU's QEP states the importance of critical thinking and these above items help me to accomplish that and assess the effectiveness of the instruction.
I hope I have included everything that I was supposed to, but I probably didn't.
Flashbacks are great! We now have the student response systems that we can do flashbacks on at our school. It makes everything so much easier and grades everything for you!
