📈Challenge your students with the #fastandcurious Eduprotocol

I'm digging into the Eduprotocols class with the great Jason Cring... If you aren't in the class you're missing out! 

But if you want a few highlights without taking the whole class, you're in luck because here is one Eduprotocol to start now! 

The Fast and Curious Protocol - This is an entry level protocol that can have an immediate impact in your classroom. It focuses on speed and accuracy and student's innate curiosity of their performance to drive impact.

The purpose of this protocol is to teach vocabulary or quick facts. To do this protocol we will use Quizizz ('cause its great! and it checks my tech incentive box this month... see how I did that?)

Here is the set up: 

1. Make or use a vocab quiz in Quizizz

2. On Monday (Day 1) give the quiz to launch vocabulary for the unit. Here are the settings I would recommend: Limit attempts to 1, no redemption questions (the point is to see correct/incorrect answers), show leaderboard. 

    Of course they wont get them all right, they aren't supposed to. Use the teacher dashboard to talk about any missed questions and make a quick lesson out of it. 

    *Technically you are supposed to do the quiz again immediately, but I think that might be a big ask of time. If you want to try it, run the quiz again immediately. 

3. On Tuesday (Day 2) give the quiz again, this time just include the words that students missed on Day 1. Students come in, sit down and do the quiz right away. You can even have it up as they are coming in to complete as a bellringer activity. If you want, you can do the whole quiz again.

4. On Wednesday/ Thursday (Day 3) do the quiz again with any words that were missed on Day 2. The idea is that repetition builds speed and by this point in the week accuracy. If you want you can do the whole quiz again.

5. On Day 4 conduct the final quiz or test. You will see a difference in mastery from Monday to Friday. Rinse and repeat because this is a game changing strategy! 

*Post daily results to show the percentage growth of the class throughout the week!
