Case scenario 1

Ms. Rachelle is a Math teacher who just started her lesson on multiplying decimals. Ms. Rachelle
started by explaining how to multiply decimals, gave an example on the board and then asked
her students to solve the problems in the book. By the end of the session, Ms. Rachelle gave her
students an exit slip with a question to solve. Based on the results of the exit slips, she noticed
that 15 out of 20 students were not able to answer the question correctly. Ms. Rachelle came to
class next session with manipulatives. She revisited the topic and gave her students the
opportunity to practice multiplying decimals using these manipulatives. Ms. Rachelle then used
a hinge question to check for her students’ understanding. Results from this assessment showed
that most of the students were able to answer correctly.

Case scenario 2
Mr Atef is a grade 6 Biology teacher. He wanted to start a lesson on cells, and the session
included a practical experiment that requires students to use the microscope to identify the type
of cell. Mr. Atef started his session by asking students on how to use a microscope. However,
only one student was able to answer him. He then decided to take his students to the lab and
give them a session on how to operate a microscope before proceeding to explain the new topic.

Case scenario 3
Ms. Manal is a grade 5 French teacher. She has noticed that one of her bright students has not
been performing well recently. In his last assessment his results were below the average. Ms.
Manal got worried, so she communicated his results with the management and his parents and
provided them with feedback on what should be done to avoid his failure in the term. The
parents were thankful to her and were able to identify the problem. It appeared that the student
was being bullied which was affecting his academic performance.
