TRUE
FALSE

You lose it.
It stands out in your memories.
You'll never be able to add to those skills.
With regard to learning, what is the "generation effect?"
There are differences in learning between old people and adolescents.
Creating answers is more effective than simply identifying them on a test.
The younger you are, the more easily you learn.
Begin at start of year and maintain throughout, use nontechnical language, make
specific suggestions to parents for working w/ children (students w/ home-school
cooperation have more positive attitudes, higher long-term achievement, greater
self-regulation)
Effective assessment
Common Core
Effective classroom management
Effective communication with parents
d
emphasizes high grades, public displays of ability, performance compared to others,
ability viewed as entity/fixed, errors are reason for concern/anxiety
Common Core
Mastery-focused classroom
Performance-focused classroom
emphasizes effort/continuous improvement/understanding, errors are normal part of

learning, ability viewed as incremental/alterable
Standards-based environment
Common Core
Positive learning climate means teachers/students work together to achieve,

predictability gives physical security/learner autonomy (establishes equilibrium,
meets deficiency needs, benefits human memory), scaffolding/assessment/open-
ended question increases involvement, more challenge increases perceptions of
confidence
How students' needs influence/affect motivation (Maslow)
English/Language Arts Standards (Common Core)
Why learning climate is important
Cannot grow unless deficiency needs (survival, safety, belonging, self-esteem) are
met so they can attain growth needs (intellectual achievement/aesthetic
appreciation that increase as people have more experience, can lead to self-
actualization)
Common Core
How interests/emotions relate to success
Develop learner self-regulation, create community of caring and trust, maximize

time for teaching/learning, clearly establish rules/procedures, have organized
classroom, "withitness," intervention continuum (praise desired behavior, ignore
inappropriate behavior, use indirect cues, use desists, apply consequences)
Adopted by 45 states, research- and evidence-based, aligned w/ college/career

expectations, ELA and math standards
Performance-focused classroom
Common Core
lessons are determined by standards that describe what students should know/be
able to do at end of prescribed period of study (ex: Common Core)
Standards-based environment
Extrinsic vs intrinsic motivation, motivation to learn (tendencies to find academic

activities meaningful, try to benefit from them)
Common Core
Informally assess learning during instruction, formally assess after instruction
K-12: reading (informational text and literature), writing, speaking/listening; 6-12:

literacy in history/social studies, science/technical subjects, writing
English/Language Arts Standards (Common Core)
