Description
An important part of teaching a lesson is checking to make sure your students understand the material given. Students are notoriously bad self-reporters when it comes to understanding, so it’s up to you as the teacher to make sure that your class doesn’t have any gaps in the content you’re teaching. Thankfully, there are some easy ways that educators can make checking for understanding a little bit easier.
In this course, “Essentials for Teaching: Best Practices in Checking for Understanding,” educator Lisa Van Gemert shares her favorite tips and tricks for finding out what students really understand in their lessons.
You’ll discover how to check for understanding using:
- Dry erase boards
- Response cards
- Plickers
- Hand signals
- And more!

I thought it was alright, but it was truly just a list of things with no concrete explanation of what it looks like in class and how to go about going over it or using it as data afterwards – where do I go from there.
