Feedback is generic or misaligned with the student’s

work. Follow-up questions are missing, closed-ended, or

unrelated to the misconception. Language lacks clarity or purpose.

Feedback is partially aligned to the student’s work or

target skill. Follow-up questions may be vague, closed-ended, or loosely

connected to the error. Some language may be unclear or

imprecise.

Feedback is aligned to the student’s work and target

skill. Follow-up questions are mostly open-ended and

relevant, though may not fully push student thinking. Language is generally clear

and respectful.

Feedback directly addresses the individual student’s work and target skill with clear,

respectful language. Follow-up questions are open-ended, precisely aligned to the

student’s misconception, and require the student to revise or deepen their thinking.

Show–Call 0 Points 0 Points 1 Point 2 Points 3 Points 4 Points

Show-Call Criteria ● Uses Economy of Language ● Uses a positive tone when describing the work, even when there is an error. ● Asks students to evaluate the work sample(s). ● Pushes students to elaborate if their responses are incomplete / only partially correct. ● Stamps key takeaways: emphasize the key learning before releasing students to practice.

Show-Call Script Unusable Submission

No Attempt or Action

Script is underdeveloped or vague, with little alignment to skill or student engagement.

Questions are missing or ineffective.

Script includes some effort to engage students but lacks

clarity, specificity, or open-ended questioning.

Annotations may be minimal or misaligned.

Script includes mostly neutral language and prompts for

analysis. One or more parts (e.g., annotations, questions, or specificity) may be partially

developed.

Script consistently uses neutral and specific academic language. All students are

prompted to engage with open-ended questions and analyze the student work.

Visual annotations effectively focus attention on the target skill.

Show-Call addresses the correct knowledge and/or skills indicated in the Purposeful Monitoring record sheet

Unusable Submission

No Attempt or Action

Show-Call is misaligned with the skill or monitoring data and does not support the

intended instructional goal.

Show-Call selection loosely relates to the skill identified or reflects misunderstanding

of the monitoring notes.

Show-Call generally aligns with the identified skill,

though some opportunity to target a more relevant

example may be missed.

Show-Call precisely aligns to the skill or misconception identified in the monitoring

notes. The selected student work is representative of the learning goal.

Teach! Coursework

Effortful Thinking: Exemplars & Misconceptions | Postwork – Early Childhood

This postwork will utilize the same lesson as your Lesson Internalization postwork from previous sessions.

Directions: This postwork includes two parts.

1. Script Responses to Student Thinking & Give Students Individualized Feedback You have already completed the first lap of your purposeful monitoring pathway – marking students’ papers and taking notes. You are midway through Lap 2.

● Review the four student work samples provided for you in this document. ● Use the teacher-created exemplar you drafted as part of Step 4 of our lesson internalization protocol.

○ You can find it in your postwork for Planning & Instruction #5 | Lesson Internalization: Defining Student Success.

● Mark each student’s work using the codes provided in this document. ● Write a follow-up question for each student.

○ Be sure that your follow-up questions are both effortful and targeted. ● Record your Lap 2 notes for each student on the Purposeful Monitoring record sheet.

2. Script a Show-Call

● Review the completed Purposeful Monitoring record sheet. ● Use the template to draft a Show-Call you would use for in-the-moment batch feedback.

Lesson Context

Link to Lesson EngageNY – Kindergarten – Module 4 – Lesson 8

Objective or Learning Target Model decompositions of 7 using a story situation, sets, and number bonds. Students decompose the number seven in put-together situations of number pairs using story situations, objects, sets, arrays, and numerals.

Steps in a Show–Call 1. Select and post the student work samples (either exemplar, incorrect answer, or both) 2. Turn & Talk: Ask students to evaluate 3. Lead whole class discussion, including naming the error & the best practice 4. Give students an ‘at bat’ to apply what they learned

Show–Call Criteria for Success ● Uses Economy of Language ● Uses a positive tone when describing the work, even when there is an error. ● Asks students to evaluate the work sample(s). ● Pushes students to elaborate if their responses are incomplete / only partially correct. ● Stamps key takeaways: emphasize the key learning before releasing students to practice.

Show–Call

Decide Type of Show Call:

● Correct work: Spotlight work that is accurate and/or truly exemplary, illustrating a key insight, idea, or skill that others need to show what is possible and how to replicate success. It is usually quick. OR

● Common error work: Highlight student work with a common error trend to facilitate deep error excavation, strengthen critical thinking, and engage re-teaching. Resist the urge to immediately correct the error. To maximize student Think Ratio, hold back from identifying the error – let students discuss. OR

● Good to great work: Select student work that has a similar “Grow” that students can learn from, and Glows to model for low/mid students. Balance between both positive and constructive feedback, to support low/mid students with exemplars, and “stretch” proficient students by fixing a small, common mistake. Normalize Revision by showing that even work with praise needs to be revised.

Step 1 Select and post the student work samples (either exemplar, incorrect answer, or both).

What to Plan Script

How will I introduce the student work samples? (Choose 1 option.)

● Anonymous: if you’re analyzing an error in student work, you may want to keep it anonymous. OR

● Name the Author: If you name the author, neutralize the spotlight by acknowledging them before revealing the work, then focus the class on the work. Always name the author for exemplary work.

Script 1-2 sentences to introduce the show-call:

Step 2 Turn & Talk: Ask students to evaluate.

What to Plan Script

What questions will I ask? (Choose 1 option.)

● Call Your Shots: To keep a focused, productive, disciplined discussion, explicitly direct students to the most important look-fors when short on time or veering off-topic. (“What happened when they combined like terms in this equation?” or “What do you notice about the way they embedded

Script your question (1 sentence)

their evidence?”) OR

● Non-directive: To increase Think Ratio, limit guidance, especially if they have solid background knowledge or had practice w/similar work (“What did they do correctly?”)

Step 3 Lead a whole class discussion, including naming the error & the best practice.

What to Plan Script

How will students respond?

● Turn & Talk OR Write / Pair / Share (same as Think / Pair / Share)

● Survey with voting or hand signals

Script instructions you will say to have students respond (1 sentence)

Step 4 Give students an ‘at bat’ to apply what they learned.

What to Plan Script

How will students share their responses?

● Volunteers, cold calling, or (if comparing 2 samples) vote with hand signals: Ask students to track speaker.

● Have students elaborate: “Tell me more.” “What makes you think that?” “How do you know?” “Why is that important?” “Does anyone have a different opinion?”

Script how you will call on students to share (1 sentence)

How will I punch the key ideas before releasing students to practice?

● Lock It In: Before releasing students, ensure they are clear on what and how they should revise by using a quick CFU.

● Announce precisely when you’ll check for those revisions. Prescribe the place where they should show their changes to make the revision process visible and easier to monitor

Script the key idea you will punch before you release students to practice:

Script the instructions for students to apply what they learned:
