Developing Student Agency and Conceptual Understanding with Self-Checking Activities

Thursday July 30, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm MDT

TBA

Are you working harder than your students? If so, then use self-checking activities! These formative assessments give students an opportunity to take greater ownership of their learning, make their thinking visible, and demonstrate their agency. Students get immediate feedback on their responses. This allows them to confirm and reflect on their effort. For teachers, self-checking activities provide real-time feedback in judging levels of conceptual understanding/misunderstanding, allowing them to modify lessons to meet students’ needs. Used with small groups, self-checking activities promote meaningful discourse and support productive struggle as students persevere together to develop their problem solving, and critical thinking skills. This session will explore ways to help students develop agency in grades six through twelve.
