This video demonstrates how teachers monitor progress in alignment with AERO’s model of teaching and learning. Monitoring students’ progress by checking for understanding helps you determine what they know and can do, identify gaps in their learning and adjust your teaching to meet their needs. It helps you create a learning environment where students feel safe and supported to be active participants in the learning process, and better equips you to provide valuable feedback.
