During a heated debate in Mr. Martinez's twelfth-grade government class, a student declares that the problem with government spending is that the Congress spends so much money on themselves that they became unaware of the value of a dollar. Mr. Martinez then addresses the class in a calm voice saying: "It has been suggested that the incentives of Congress voting themselves pay raises and benefits results in a problem of fiscal irresponsibility of the government. Who agrees or disagrees with this statement?" Mr. Martinez's rephrasing of the student's declaration is most helpful because: A. He is encouraging students to apply higher-order thinking to real-world problems. B. He is encouraging students to create and ask questions they have about government and its rights and responsibilities. C. He is providing students with additional educational resources to encourage further study on the debate topics that interest them. D. He is monitoring the debate between students.

A. He is encouraging students to apply higher-order thinking to real-world problems. Having students explain their support of an issue requires them to use higher-order thinking skills to devise their opinion; congressional spending is a real-world issue.

Which of the following is the most effective way to increase participation from students who are reluctant to volunteer to answer questions? A. Inform students that everyone will be asked to answer a question, and then randomly call on students after sufficient wait time has elapsed. B. Give extra credit to those who participate. C. Have all students give written answers to questions. D. Repeat the question 2-3 times.

A. Inform students that everyone will be asked to answer a question, and then randomly call on students after sufficient wait time has elapsed. Giving additional time to think about a response and then calling randomly on students--not just those who raise their hand--will increase participation. Reminding students that everyone will be called on will help them prepare to respond.

B. play a whole-class game by putting drawings of waves with different wavelengths and amplitudes on the board and ask students to tell which waves have high or low frequencies and amplitudes. C. ask students to write a paragraph describing frequency, wavelength, and amplitude. D. ask students to individually match pictures of waves with various wavelengths and amplitudes to the words "high (or low) frequency" and high (or low) amplitude".

A. project pictures of transverse waves of different wavelength and amplitude, while for each, students wiggle fast or slow to indicate frequency, and with large wiggles or small wiggles to indicate amplitude. Students must individually process and apply the information, which allows the teacher to check for understanding and allows immediate reteaching if needed. Elementary students also tend to do well with connecting movements to ideas.

Which of the following would most likely enhance a student's emotional and academic well-being during the middle school years? A. providing each student with an adult advocate to monitor their academic and social development B. reducing the amount of homework assigned each night C. requiring all students to join a club or activity within the school D. encouraging parent participation in school activities

The eighth-grade student places high importance on peer acceptance and may care more about talking with friends than the experiment. By having this understanding of the problem, Ms. Hanson has a better ability to address the problem.

A kindergarten teacher wants to demonstrate the concept of centrifugal force. The best instructional approach would be to: A. swing a bucket of water overhead in front of the students and then explain why the water did not fall out. B. use the mathematical formula and explain that different laws combine to create centrifugal force. C. give the students a worksheet to complete which explains the concept. D. have students pass a bucket of water from one student to the next, telling them the faster they pass the bucket, the less water will be spilled.

A. swing a bucket of water overhead in front of the students and then explain why the water did not fall out. Kindergarten students learn best when they can see the concept or academic idea. At this developmental level, students would not be able to grasp a lecture of the concept as the students assume all things that are upside down will fall. This is how they have interacted with most objects thus far in their lives. By demonstrating the concept, the students can understand why the water did not fall out.

A typical 5th-grade student should be capable of: Select all answers that apply. A. understanding varied perspectives. B. manipulating objects to test out ideas. C. classifying and grouping objects. D. exploring hypothetical questions.

Mr. Hamilton places a high respect on critical-thinking skills in his class. He wants to encourage his students to think through their answers with more care and consideration, and to increase student participation in content discussions. Mr. Hamilton decides to increase the amount of time he waits after asking a question, before providing more information and/or answering the question himself. When this strategy is used effectively, Mr. Hamilton will use an increased wait time: Select all answers that apply. A. when asking the students complex cognitive questions B. when discussing class content one on one with a student C. when asking a question to the entire class and waiting for a volunteer D. when asking basic questions that do not require critical-thinking skill

A. when asking the students complex cognitive questions Increased wait time is necessary when asking more complex questions. B. when discussing class content one on one with a student It is important to use wait time when discussing one on one because it is still beneficial for students to evaluate and consider possibilities themselves, and not simply listen to the answer the teacher provides. Similarly to how you would wait for an answer in a whole-class setting, you would want to give the student time to process in a discussion. C. when asking a question to the entire class and waiting for a volunteer It is important to use the increased wait time when asking the entire class a question because it gives them additional time to think critically through the question and response.

An elementary teacher can generally assume that students from different socioeconomic backgrounds will differ most in regard to which of the following? A. written and spoken language B. cognitive ability C. learning styles and modalities D. behavioral issues

Students in a middle school class are completing a research paper. The teacher has allowed students to select topics of their choice and has given students dedicated class days to conduct research in the school library. After students completed their research, the teacher broke the students into two groups so that one half of the class would go to the computer lab with an instructional aide to type their papers while the other half received instruction in class. On the final day, the teacher accompanied small groups of students to the computer lab so that they had an opportunity to receive feedback on their drafts before submitting the assignment. What is the benefit of organizing the completion of the research paper in this manner? A. accommodating students' reading levels B. recognizing students' differences in access to technology C. providing enrichment opportunities for small groups D. understanding students' cultural differences

B. recognizing students' differences in access to technology By having the students complete research in the school library during class and typing papers in the computer lab during class, the teacher is showing recognition that not all students may have access to internet or computers at home and may not be able to stay after school, so completing the assignment during class provides equitable access to all.

Natasha, a student in Mrs. Jameson's eighth-grade class, has recently been overheard talking about an adult boyfriend that she met on a dating app. Natasha's friends are often overheard talking about how they also plan to set up fake profiles on the same dating app. Natasha has never spoken directly to Mrs. Jameson about her boyfriend, and Natasha is known for exaggerating stories to get attention from peers. How should Mrs. Jameson respond to this situation?
