Checks for Understanding: Quick Strategies and Real-time Instructional Adjustments

Limited Capacity seats available

This session focuses on using Checks for Understanding (CFUs) as intentional, planned opportunities to gather evidence of student thinking during instruction—not just at the end. Teachers will examine various CFU strategies to determine their effectiveness and learn to interpret student responses in real time making immediate instructional adjustments through four key moves: clarifying, scaffolding, reteaching differently, or extending learning. Through hands-on "if-then" planning, participants will design CFUs for upcoming lessons and prepare responsive next steps based on whether students fully understand, partially understand, or do not yet understand the content. This session emphasizes actionable, in-the-moment teaching decisions that ensure all students reach the learning target.
