* Where We Came From and Where We're Going...

In our last lesson, we analyzed ways in which we can provide support for our struggling readers and writers during the questioning design of the QFT. We also reviewed ways to enhance assessment and assist our students to be independent and successful in their own question designing. Now, we are going to take the steps in designing a Qfocus with the support of our group members.

Important Tips To Keep in Mind...

  1. Decide whether you will use the QFT for formative or summative assessment
  2. Make sure to research the important content/texts/resources you will use to complement your QFT project
  • Keep in mind that when we are practicing the QFT we are putting ourselves in the shoes of our students. However, it is important to use this mindset to help ourselves as teachers to see what changes or modifications need to be made (if any) in our QFT design.
