The student is distracted or off-task because classroom instruction and learning activities are not sufficiently reinforcing to hold his or her attention. Learn teacher behaviors to help fix this motivation problem.

The student requires praise, access to rewards, or other reinforcers in the short term as a temporary ‘pay-off’ to encourage her or him to apply greater effort. Learn teacher behaviors to help fix this student motivation problem.

The student has a low sense of self-efficacy in a subject area, activity, or academic task and that lack of confidence reduces the student’s motivation to apply his or her best effort. NOTE: Self-efficacy is the student’s view of his or her own abilities specific to a particular academic area (e.g., mathematics) and should not be confused with self-esteem, which represents the student’s global view of his or her self-worth. Learn teacher behavior to help fix this student motivation problem.

The student appears indifferent or even hostile toward the instructor and thus may lack motivation to follow teacher requests or to produce work. Learn teacher behaviors to help with this student motivation problem.

Ideas for digging deeper to find out what instruction(or further assessment) students need.

"Universal screening data helps you identify students who are having reading difficulties and allows you to intervene early.

This data will likely reveal that there are students struggling with reading comprehension. But what does that mean for how you tailor your instruction to work with them?

💡 This is where diagnostic assessment comes in.

Using the right diagnostic assessment is key to improving future reading outcomes.

While universal screening data will alert you to the reading comprehension problem, it’s the follow-up diagnostic assessments that help pinpoint what part of reading comprehension is difficult for a particular student.

Using both tools will help you to be more targeted and effective with your instruction."

Madeline Noonan meets with all of her students individually during writer's workshop. In each conference, she specifically identifies strengths and two goals. Students continue to revise and rewrite throughout the workshop process and build confidence in their writing at the same time.

Lesson Objective: Maximize instruction by adding content into your transitions
Length: 5 min
Questions to Consider: What is the class's daily routine for learning the word of the day? Why does Ms. Noonan have students "sit like a scholar" and wait before she says the word of the day? How does the "Grab Bag Quiz" help with classroom management as students move back to their desks?

Madeline Noonan starts every class day with a morning meeting. Students use vocabulary to describe how they're feeling, practice speaking in front of peers, and gain trust by sharing a little about themselves. A daily "greeting" adds a bit of fun.

Madeline Noonan uses "The Sneetches" by Dr. Seuss as a touchstone text creating a shared experience with the class that can be referred back to again and again. In this lesson, the touchstone text teaches students about looking for metaphors and symbols across an entire text rather than just a phrase or sentence.
