A coding form used to record target student interactions. This form is under development and Action Research is planned to validate its use. Please access the Assessment section of the Oral Language Development site to learn more about its use and to join in on the Action Research.
As students are engaged in any participation structure, what can the teacher do to formatively assess student oral language skills on the fly, or on the spot? What preparation, strategies and suggestions do you have for a new or experienced teacher?
When observing any of the video clips in the Oral Language Development (OLD) teaching practice site, what happens in the classroom when any of the participation structures* are used during a lesson? How do students respond? What does the teacher do? Is equity enhanced? Any other observations about student engagement or teaching strategies to consider?
