While a student may work alone to learn new skills or practice and reinforce concepts , teachers support learning by asking questions and helping students to stay on task . Specific modalities include :
� Virtual Instruction , where students work independently and receive instruction from an online learning program .
� Virtual Reinforcement , where students complete reinforcement lessons to practice a skill after an instructional lesson .
� Independent Practice , where students work independently to practice a skill .
4 . What assessments do students in Teach to One take ? Before leaving class each day , students take a five-question computer-based assessment on what they learned that day . This is called an exit slip . Information from the exit slip is used to determine whether students have grasped a skill and can move on to a new one or need to keep working on the same skill the following day .
At the end of each round , students take a playlist demo , which is a longer assessment that is customized to what skills students worked on during a two-to-three week learning period called a round .
All assessments are individualized to what your child is learning or has learned . The information from these assessments is constantly being updated and analyzed to help determine what skills your child has passed or retained and what they should work on or review next .
5 . How are students scored in Teach to One ? The components of a student ’ s grade include the following :
Points : students can earn points in a round by showing that they ’ ve passed a skill during an exit slip or playlist demo . Students also receive points when they receive badges for demonstrating behaviors like persistence or stretching themselves to pass difficult skills . Students may need more than one day to learn and master a skill , so it is normal that students will not earn points every day .
Participation : each day teachers will record a student ’ s attendance and assess the work ethic ( e . g . student persistence and determination ) and contribution that the student demonstrated .
Homework : over the course of a round , students may be assigned homework on skills in their playlist . Homework is graded and scored for completion or accuracy .
Playlist Demo Score : at the end of each round , students take a playlist demo ( multi-skill assessment ) on the skills that they learned that round .
Task Demonstrations : in the final session of a Task , students are required to demonstrate what they learned and the solution that they came up with through a
