Question 2

Which formative assessment strategy provides the teacher with immediate data about whole-class understanding during a lesson?

Accepted Answer

Exit tickets completed in the last three minutes of class

Question 3

A teacher is planning differentiated instruction for a lesson on fractions. Which strategy best addresses varied readiness levels?

Accepted Answer

Use tiered tasks that target the same objective at different levels of complexity

Answer

Tiered tasks maintain the same learning objective while adjusting complexity so all students can access and be challenged by the content.

Question 4

Which instructional approach is most consistent with Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)?

Accepted Answer

Providing scaffolded support on tasks slightly beyond a student's current independent ability

Answer

The ZPD is the space between what a student can do alone and what they can do with support; scaffolding bridges that gap.

Question 5

A teacher uses think-alouds while modeling a reading strategy. What is the primary instructional purpose of this technique?

Accepted Answer

To make the teacher's cognitive process visible so students can internalize the strategy

Answer

Think-alouds make invisible mental processes explicit, giving students a model to emulate as they internalize the strategy independently.
