2. Challenge My teacher asks students to explain more about the answers they give. My teacher doesn’t let people give up when the work gets hard. In this class, we learn to correct our mistakes. My teacher wants us to use our thinking skills, not just memorize things. My teacher asks students to explain more about the answers they give.

7. Predicted differences in months of learning for classrooms at the 25 th versus 75 th percentiles of the composite 7Cs distribution for the MET sample. (Estimated using surveys from one class and gains from another class, taught by the same teacher.) Using student survey responses in one section to predict learning gains in another. Predicted difference per school year* On state math tests 4.8 months On the Balanced Assessment in Math 3.7 months On state English Language Arts (ELA) tests 2.3 months On the Stanford 9 Open Ended ELA 2.9 months *Based on Table 9, p. 26: Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, “Learning about Teaching: Initial findings from the Measures of Effective Teaching Project.” December 2010.
