Classroom Discussion is when students are invited to speak about the topic at hand with clear procedures for engaging in different roles during discussion. This strategy expands upon a teacher or student posing the class a question, then another, etc., to promote student engagement through students discussing set topics with each other, often prompted from an open and not closed set of questions.

This microcredential represents educators' effective and consistent classroom management to support physical education. Classroom management techniques need to be an intentional part of each lesson.

When students link clear learning intentions to “implementation intentions”—or plans to overcome expected obstacles—they are more likely to achieve their goals.

Collective Teacher Efficacy refers to the shared belief that through their collective action, teachers can influence student outcomes and increase achievement for all students (Donohoo 2017). Hattie (2018) explains collective teacher efficacy goes beyond “growth mindset” and is a belief that a group of teachers “can make the difference.” In addition, this belief must be fueled by evidence that student learning is indeed increasing. Collective teacher efficacy is not a classroom strategy, rather it is a systems-level approach to supporting teachers and ultimately, students.

There are some common misunderstandings about the Science of Reading (SoR). This infographic will help clear up any confusion.

The focus of the Comparing Quantities and Numbers up to Ten intervention has three phases. Phase 1: Use a matching strategy to compare groups of objects. Phase 2: Use a counting strategy to compare groups of objects. Phase 3: Compare written numbers 1 to 10.

The focus of the Comparing Two-Digit Numbers intervention is to use base ten blocks to help compare two two-digit numbers and use the appropriate symbol to record the result.

The focus of the Comparing Two Three-Digit Numbers intervention is using base ten blocks to compare the numbers and then using symbols >, <, =, to record the results of the comparison.

This microcredential represents a teacher’s understanding of comparison and equivalence with rational numbers and their ability to understand and respond to progressions related to comparison and equivalence with rational numbers by planning and implementing instruction based on the Standards for Mathematical Practice and Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices. It includes selecting, using, and adapting mathematics curricula and teaching materials, including the integration of mathematical tools and technology, as well as using and analyzing formative and summative assessments to determine where students are in learning comparison and equivalence with rational numbers. This microcredential is the fourth of seven in the Elementary Mathematics Endorsement: Rational Numbers and Proportional Reasoning Stack. These microcredentials can be earned in any order.

This page includes the competencies a quality Instructional Coach should possess in order to support teachers in delivering high-quality instruction to meet the learning needs of all students. These competencies can also be used to identify an educator’s readiness for instructional coaching.

Concession Stand: Standard 6.NS.2 Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.
This formative assessment exemplar was created by a team of Utah educators to be used as a resource in the classroom. It was reviewed for appropriateness by a Bias and Sensitivity/Special Education team and by state mathematics leaders. While no assessment is perfect, it is intended to be used as a formative tool that enables teachers to obtain evidence of student learning, identify assets and gaps in that learning, and adjust instruction for the two dimensions that are important for mathematical learning experiences (i.e., Standards for Mathematical Practice, Major Work of the Grade).
