Reply To: Lesson 2.2 Two Formative Assessment Techniques You Need To Stop Using – Part 2 – Discussion

[Jacqueline Joseph]

I use a technique l read about somewhere called 100% participation/no opt out where hand raising is used to answer questions. The catch is that if a student doesn’t raise their hand, the question becomes a think-pair-share question first. A second call for hands raised should lead to every hand and then a random or strategic selection is made. If there are students that are not able to answer the question, they can ask a peer for help and then rephrase the answer in their own words. It is like a supported cold call technique. It could be followed up with a class poll on if they agree or disagree with the given answer. I wonder if there is a place for something like this.
