Normally timely practice does pre assessment before teaching - which takes 4 lessons - there is no time for this before the early entry exam.
So some topics will be pre assessed by the teacher, via the pre assess assignments - found in the table below - learners who attend every lesson and complete a
Meanwhile the teacher will add this SOL to the timely practice app, so
- the teacher can plan who learns which small bite from each topic from the appropriate progress on topic from lesson 6 onwards,
- faster working learners can revise topics which there won't be time to teach them, in tandem with the pre assess process (they will find out what they have partially forgotten, and can revise independently),
- those learners who wish to do early entry exam, but where the teacher is unsure if this will be the in the learners best interest, can demonstrate their hard work and readiness via the data within each progress on topic.
Remember
- not all the learners will learn the same activities,
- not all the learners will be listening to the teacher at the same time, so think how you will avoid projecting your voice and disrupting the other learners ability to concentrate when only teaching a small group (suggestions are: print out example Q on A3, use a flip chart or stand alone computer, change seating plans to suit ...)
OK to share with learners
The answers for the pre assess and homework are not loaded here, so you may share this link with learners, so they can catch up with lessons missed.
Scheme of learning
Each lesson starts with the learners doing a pre assess assignment (see the 4th column).
The teacher will teach small groups only one layer per topic (and use the pre assess information from either the assessmentSS or form the progress on topic within the app to decide which learners should learn which layer.
Sometimes there is an additional activity e.g. review homework or the pep talks in lessons 1, 3 and 4.
