Secondary PDSA—Do (Strategies)
*SB=strategy board
Teacher will:
 Provide study notes (teacher prepared with opportunities for student to add his/her
own translation, HYIS)
 Pretest and analyze data
 Be available for review sessions
 Provide remediation/tutoring
 Allow time for peer tutoring
 Provide a study guide
 Provide bell ringer/warm-up activities focused on PDSA goal
 Provide short cycle assessments
 Model the concept/demonstrate
 Use HYIS setting objectives and providing feedback
 Use HYIS summarizing and notetaking (SB)
 Provide visuals, use graphic organizers
 Provide a game, review game, or technological game to practice skill/concept
 Vary activities, time, and/or differentiate instruction (SB)
 Offer hands-on activities (SB)
 Provide time for cooperative learning activities/sharing (SB)
 Allow students to “think-pair share”, reciprocal teaching process
 Provide rubrics, “show me how I will be scored”, provide assessment criteria
 Provide real world experience, practical application experiences
 Show examples of student work
 Provide practice time/time for homework
 Provide 10 minutes of practice time at the beginning of class
 Use manipulatives to teach problems (money, geometrical figures, etc.)
 Provide time to collaborate (groups, partner)
 Provide practical “real life” problems to apply concept/skills
 Provide feedback without assessing (HYIS)
 Allow “Do overs” to allow students to demonstrate mastery of skills/concepts
(redo assignment)
 Provide assignments in which students have to use the skill/concept (article
review, summarizing reading, writing response to current events, discussion
groups, learning logs, process essay-math)
 Provide drama exercises to practice skill/concept (performance, interview, speech,
broadcast, role play, presentation, video)
 Use “foldables”
 Break down concepts into small steps\
 Incorporate using white boards for review prior to quiz/test
 Demonstrate the Hula dance for decimal/percent (scooping from D to P)
 Activity: “I have / who has” from C. Coil differentiation books
 Print the ppt. handout of 3 slides per page to guide note taking (models Cornell
Model)

 Measure real life objects
 Solve algebraic problems vertically
 Create SCOS review booklet – one chapter per goal – one page per
objective/bulleted item on essentials – include real world examples, text
reference, visuals, etc.
