3.  Take a moment and think of what the term “correctives” means to you  Share with a neighbor

4.  We believe that our method of corrective action has students take responsibility & ownership of their learning  Correctives are having students look at the mistakes they have made and then embrace those mistakes

5.  According to the Business Dictionary (2014), corrective action is an “identification and elimination of the causes of a problem, thus preventing their recurrence.”  According to the American Society for Quality (2014), corrective action is “a solution meant to reduce or eliminate an identified problem.”

6.  Take a moment and think of why correctives are important for our students  Share with a neighbor

7.  We believe, correctives are important because most kids don't learn by just listening or watching us, they learn by doing it themselves.  In order to be successful in life, students must know how to learn from their mistakes. Then by doing things differently, and hopefully correctly, students can truly learn and be successful in anything they attempt in life.

8.  Based on the scientific method of Francis Bacon (Novum Organum, 1620). The scientific method can be written as "hypothesis"–"experiment"–"evaluation" or plan, do and check.  According to Moen & Norman (2011), “A fundamental principle of the scientific method is iteration—once a hypothesis is confirmed (or negated), executing the cycle again will extend the knowledge further. Repeating the cycle can bring us closer to the goal, usually a perfect operation and output.”

13.  Homework contract - “The Rules” ______ Corrections are considered to be part of my homework. Not having them completed by the start of class on the day they are due will result in mandatory AR (unless other arrangements have been made prior to the start of class) ______ Homework corrections need to be done in a bright color so they are easy to read. Yellow highlighter is not easy to read. ______ Homework corrections are not considered to be complete until all incorrect answers have been corrected, INCLUDING SHOWING WORK, on how to complete the question correctly

14.  What It Looks Like - “The Procedures”

16.  Exponents and Radicals Review  Take the next few minutes and attempt as many problems as you can  Be sure to follow the rules in the homework contract  Have fun!

17.  Take a moment to reflect  What feelings and/or thoughts did you have while attempting the homework?  What do you think your students might be feeling and/or thinking while attempting their homework?  What kind of homework experience do you want your students to have?

18.  Doing Corrections  Use the LHS Geometry website to do corrections on the problems you attempted  Be sure to follow the rules in the homework contract  Happy learning!

19.  Take a moment to reflect  What feelings and/or thoughts did you have while correcting the homework?  What do you think your students might be feeling and/or thinking while correcting their homework?  What kind of homework experience do you want your students to have?

20.  Another check for understanding  Time for a quiz  Choose 2 or 3 problems you completed and needed to do corrections on  Rework the problems you selected for a quiz grade

21.  Take a moment to reflect  What feelings and/or thoughts did you have while taking the “quiz”?  What feelings and/or thoughts do you want your students to have?

22.  And yet another check for understanding  Chapter assessments/tests  Retesting  Creating a healthy relationship with making mistakes  Teaching a life long lesson and way of life
