7th Grade Math Teacher Chris McCloud from the School of the Future in New York gives us a new idea on how to call on students and ensure participation. McCloud tapes 1 playing card on each student desk and has the same set of playing cards in his hand. Throughout a lesson, Chris flips a card to determine which students is going to answer a question. If students cannot answer the question, he does'nt allow them to say "I don't know." Instead, he requires the student to share where they are stuck and flips the next card to see if someone can help the student who is stuck.

Weekly Self-Assessments were used in a Basic Math class to increase student accountability. Each week students rated themselves as to how well they completed assignments. The hope was that students would come to their weekly student-teacher conferences prepared to discuss their self-assessments, progress in math, and prepared to set goals for the following week. Data was taken quarterly on passing rates and on participation in student scheduled student-teacher conferences. Passing rates improved from 86% in quarter 1 to 100% in quarters 2 and 3. Participation in self-scheduled student-teacher conferences increased from 76% in quarter 1, to 82% in quarter 2, to 92% in quarter 3. Teachers may use the Google Survey example to create your own: one that is customized to your class. You may make a copy of the Basic Math Weekly Self-Evaluation, change the name, and alter it to meet your needs. Making your own copy will give you access to your survey answers.
