student speeches in her class. She grades the speeches in class using a rubric and the day after all
speeches have been delivered she returns the graded rubrics with notes to students. Teacher C has
asked his history students to write a research paper during the first six weeks of the school year. He
returns the graded research papers back to students at the end of the semester with check marks on
the sections that he found interesting or meaningful and question marks on the sections he found

process.
What criteria would you use to determine if you need to adjust the pace of your lesson?

pathways for new learning and understanding.
Identify which of the following activities is NOT an example of independent practice.
ANSW✅✅Students in an Algebra class are watching and listening to the teacher complete a
