A second-grade teacher gives each student three cards with colored squares on them: one with a red
square, one with a yellow square, and one with a green square. When students are engaged in individual
or paired work, the teacher asks students to place their red card on their desk if they do not understand
or are confused. They place the yellow card on their desk if they want to check in or need a little help,
and green if they feel they understand the task they are working on. In which of the following ways
does this approach help students become more engaged learners?
A. increasing their ability to generalize their learning
B. providing structure to the learning environment
C. supporting self-reflection on their own learning
D. maintaining a rapid pace of learning - ✔✔A. The focus of this strategy is more about reflecting
on learning, not on applying learning to new contexts.
,B. The cards themselves do not provide structure, although they are used within a
structured environment.
C. CORRECT. Students will need to reflect on their level of understanding to identify when they need
help and how much help they need.
D. Using these cards does not directly address pace of learning, although students may be able to get
help quickly if they indicate the need for it.
At the end of a learning activity, a first-grade teacher asks students to get together in small groups of
two to three students for a discussion activity. Each group presents the teacher with two thoughts and a
question about the content they learned during the lesson. The primary benefit of this extension
activity is that it achieves which of the following goals?
A. providing additional data to monitor and assess progress on learning standards
B. building on student thinking and informing the direction of subsequent learning
,C. supporting development of prerequisite skills needed for independent work
D. allowing the teacher to observe how successfully students collaborate - ✔✔A. This activity is not
about collecting data and students may not comment or ask questions about specific standards.
B. CORRECT. The discussion requires collaborative interactions that develop students' reflection and
thinking about what they have learned, and the teacher can integrate their questions into instruction to
address what students still want to learn.
C. Since the focus is on group interaction, the skills developed are more likely to be collaborative
skills, but this is still not the primary benefit of this activity.
D. While this activity can give relevant information to the teacher about how well different students
are able to collaborate, the focus is more on the results of the activity.

B. planning assignments for independent completion

D. waiting to provide supplemental instruction until after the student returns - ✔✔A. In this
situation, the student may not be able to access tutoring services.
