IMMEDIATE STRATEGIES• SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS. (CHUNK)• USE JOINT, RATHER THAN SEPARATE, EVALUATIONS. (STUDENTS VALUE

PEER APPROVAL)• CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR REFLECTION. (“WHY DID I DO IT THIS

WAY? HOW COULD I HAVE DONE IT DIFFERENTLY?”)• USE PLANNING PROMPTS. (INQUIRY PROMPTS/GUIDING QUESTIONS)• INSPIRE BROADER THINKING. (“WHAT COULD I DO?” INSTEAD OF

“WHAT SHOULD I DO?”)• GET ON THEIR LEVEL (STUDENTS TWEET/BLOG HOMEWORK ANSWERS,

FLIP THAT CLASSROOM!)
