  1. I think that this is a healthy medium for introverted students since you only have to have the first column and 3 or 4 from the second. Not everyone is volunteer or suggest details. #4 seems like a freebie to me. What does that look like?

    These are much more kid friendly. Awesome.

    The exit ticket also helps admins get their data and satisfies the closure box on an observation.

    The student average gets the job done — the kids are doing something — as administrators put it. Theres even a refletion of sorts by averaging their points. Finally, a win for teachers! Our grade is the one that goes in.

  2. “I want to see this written (a writing gesture like you are writing in the air with a pencil)”
    I do not remember seeing this suggested before (did I miss it?). But just this morning, a somewhat timid student approached me after class and told me that it really helped him when I wrote words on the whiteboard…And, that he was confused at points because I hadn’t. I suggested he use a writing gesture. We will see how that turns out.

    And then…here it is, posted on the posted on the blog.

    This is an interesting twist.

    1. I got the gesture from watching Jason Fritze. By training all the students in the class to do it when they see the first student using the signal makes it non threatening even to the introvert.

    2. I told the class for neighbors to do it first. Then on the fly, I said “we don’t leave anyone behind in this class. When one person signals we do it like a wave rippling”

  3. WOW! So this is the reason I haven’t even put up my Interpersonal Skills chart yet. Not on purpose, but I kind of got very behind and so started my first day with NO posters in the room! Not on purpose, but now I see why. Because I needed to see this for my “new and deluxe” poster going up on Tuesday!

    In my first 3 days kids have actually been great at using the “over my head” gesture, AND I love the specificity of the 3 different gestures. Awesome and badass!
