  • Teachers use various types of assessment data during the school year to evaluate student progress and to make adjustments to the teaching and learning process.

Lit Tip o' the Week

TWINGO! This week's tip comes to us from a high school Foods I classroom. This innovative teacher has created a game she calls TWINGO, and her students love it. Here are the basics...
TWINGO: a mix of BINGO and Twister. Students write vocab terms on the laminated dots with whiteboard marker. As the teacher or a student calls out a definition, students take turns standing on the correct dot. You can see that by the second round, students begin getting twisted around. You can have them play for four in a row, four corners, or any other variation.
Check out the pic to see it in action!
