understand and that need help, the yellow one means that the student understand but have
some doubts and help from the teacher will be good and the green one means that the
student understand and do not need help, this method is interesting because give to the
teacher the opportunity to focus on the students with problems and doubts.
Also the Spot Check is a really useful tool for teacher because it is thought to measure the
students feelings in the classroom, it is a little survey that are composed of opposite
statements for example happy/sad and with a level from 1 to 3 in which 1 is good, 2 is
neutal and 3 is bad, it is an important tool because help teacher to know what is in children
minds and also their hearts however it is good to say that is not good to be apply with a
huge amount of students, but you can select a sample of your classroom to be measured.
In conclusion this course was a big opportunity to have access to new approaches that are
not applied in my country then for me this is a big challenge to try to apply this new
methods that have made a great impact on my own knowledge and that invite to go further
and to continue with following courses of this.
