Monitoring students’ progress by checking for understanding helps you determine what they know and can do, identify gaps in their learning, and adjust your teaching to meet their needs. It helps you create a learning environment where students feel safe and supported to be active participants in the learning process, and it better equips you to provide valuable feedback. Checking for understanding is a crucial part of effective instruction and formative assessment.
This practice guide will help you understand how to:
- check your students understand and can apply the knowledge and skills they have gained
