1. GANAG: Opportunities for Feedback A Secondary Lesson

2. Feedback, Feedback, Feedback “Feedback should be directly related to the …objectives for the day in order for the student to make improvements. Teachers who understand the importance of feedback to the learner vary the types, the voices and the opportunities for or timeliness of feedback comments. The …feedback steps, then, occur THROUGHOUT each lesson.” One Teacher at a Time p.70 One Principal at a Time p. 6 “Feedback reduces the gap between what is known and what is aimed to be known. “ Hattie & Timperley, 2008

3. Purpose of the GANAG Structure To give students the opportunity to actively use the nine categories of high-yield strategies: (2) Identifying Similarities and Differences (3) Summarizing and Note Taking (4) Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition (5) Homework and Practice (6) Nonlinguistic Representations (7) Cooperative Learning (8) Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback (9) Generating and Testing Hypotheses (10) Cues, Questions and Advance Organizers

4. The Pythagorean Theorem Algebra I / Pre-Algebra Nancy Copeland Elmwood Middle School

5. Accessing Prior Knowledge APK

6. Who is Pythagoras? (10) Cues, Questions and Advance Organizers

7. Setting Goals/ Objectives

8. Objective: Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the measures of right triangles. (8) Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback (6) Nonlinguistic Representations 4 – I could teach others. 3 – I could apply it. 2 – I’ve heard about the Pythagorean Theorem but I don’t know how to use it. 1 – I’ve never heard of the Pythagorean Theorem.

9. Acquiring New Information

10. (6) Nonlinguistic Representations (3) Summarizing and Note Taking

11. (6) Nonlinguistic Representations (3) Summarizing and Note Taking (2) Identifying Similarities and Differences What is the difference between the way Darth Vader and NASA worked the problem? They used different letters for the hypotenuse variable. Vader worked the problem inside of the square root. NASA worked with the exponents until the end.
