“Check for Understanding” is more than just a form of assessment; it’s a dynamic approach to gauging comprehension that goes beyond traditional tests and grades. This strategy ensures that every pupil, regardless of their learning style or background, has ample opportunities to grasp and apply the material.

The powerful strategy of “Chunking” – a technique that enhances learning by presenting information in manageable, bite-sized portions.

The “Show Call… No Opt Out” strategy is designed to create an environment where every student is encouraged to contribute and where learning becomes a collective effort.

The “Show Call” component involves randomly selecting pupila to demonstrate their understanding. This can be through sharing their thoughts, presenting a solution, or any other form of active participation. By giving each pupil a chance to “show,” it ensures that everyone is involved in the learning process.

The “No Opt Out” principle reinforces the idea that there is no option to disengage. If a pupil is unsure or hesitant, instead of allowing them to opt out, the strategy encourages scaffolded support.
