Check for understanding (CFU) and its techniques are presented in sufficiently actionable, concrete, and everyday guidance ways. This module helps the teacher realize that the most crucial task of teaching is to distinguish between “I taught it” from “they learned it.” The techniques support teachers in ensuring that their students have acquired the learning and understand it. It assists them in pinpointing the moment their students` understanding stopped.
The techniques presented in this module of the training will help teachers to:
- Continuously assess students' understanding during the lesson.
- Frame data collection techniques through questioning, observation, and building a culture of error in the classes, which calls for immersing them in basic activities in the daily practices within the classroom.
- Change the function of checking for students' understanding to become therapeutic and not only at the limits of evaluation, which means judgment, to make only the final mark.
