00:00:00.682 --> 00:00:02.981
<v ->"A high school principal
desires to support teachers</v>

2
00:00:02.981 --> 00:00:05.942
and consistently hold all
students to high standards,

3
00:00:05.942 --> 00:00:08.403
regardless of their personal ability.

4
00:00:08.403 --> 00:00:10.574
What teacher behavior
will most successfully

5
00:00:10.574 --> 00:00:12.176
accomplish this goal?"

6
00:00:12.176 --> 00:00:14.185
Is it A) providing frequent assessments

7
00:00:14.185 --> 00:00:16.321
of student performance, so that students

8
00:00:16.321 --> 00:00:18.713
know what standards they are meeting

9
00:00:18.713 --> 00:00:20.268
or not meeting,

10
00:00:20.268 --> 00:00:23.182
B) focusing on student effort and behavior

11
00:00:23.182 --> 00:00:25.226
as measures of student success,

12
00:00:25.226 --> 00:00:27.896
C) attending professional
development seminars

13
00:00:27.896 --> 00:00:29.278
to familiarize themselves with the new

14
00:00:29.278 --> 00:00:31.658
Common Core State Standards,

15
00:00:31.658 --> 00:00:33.701
D) teaching students to differentiate

16
00:00:33.701 --> 00:00:35.303
between high and low standards

17
00:00:35.303 --> 00:00:38.217
by showing examples of
meeting one's personal best,

18
00:00:38.217 --> 00:00:40.365
or E) acknowledging
students' accomplishments

19
00:00:40.365 --> 00:00:44.475
on a regular basis, both
publicly and privately."

20
00:00:44.475 --> 00:00:47.134
They're asking about what teacher behavior

21
00:00:47.134 --> 00:00:49.514
will most successfully
accomplish the goal.

22
00:00:49.514 --> 00:00:51.766
Going back to the goal,
it's consistently holding

23
00:00:51.766 --> 00:00:54.146
all students to high standards, regardless

24
00:00:54.146 --> 00:00:55.946
of their personal ability.

25
00:00:55.946 --> 00:00:57.838
The one that does the best on this

26
00:00:57.838 --> 00:00:59.766
is D) teaching students to differentiate

27
00:00:59.766 --> 00:01:02.343
between high and low
standards, by showing examples

28
00:01:02.343 --> 00:01:04.804
of meeting one's personal best.

29
00:01:04.804 --> 00:01:06.843
These match up because they talk about

30
00:01:06.843 --> 00:01:08.905
"personal ability" and "personal best."

31
00:01:08.905 --> 00:01:10.345
So when you can match the
language of the question

32
00:01:10.345 --> 00:01:12.119
to the language of the answer,

33
00:01:12.119 --> 00:01:14.304
that can be really
helpful in distinguishing

34
00:01:14.304 --> 00:01:16.506
what the proper response is.

35
00:01:16.506 --> 00:01:17.980
Also, whenever we teach students

36
00:01:17.980 --> 00:01:20.151
to differentiate between high and low,

37
00:01:20.151 --> 00:01:22.636
and we give them exemplars, or examples,

38
00:01:22.636 --> 00:01:24.342
of what we're looking for,

39
00:01:24.342 --> 00:01:26.154
students always benefit
because they like to have

40
00:01:26.154 --> 00:01:28.371
concrete things to look and strive for.

41
00:01:28.371 --> 00:01:30.995
So D), teaching students
to differentiate between

42
00:01:30.995 --> 00:01:33.421
high and low standards by showing examples

43
00:01:33.421 --> 00:01:35.024
of meeting one's personal best,

44
00:01:35.024 --> 00:01:37.276
would most successfully
accomplish this goal,

45
00:01:37.276 --> 00:01:40.190
and therefore is the correct answer.
