   “Supporting Learner Performance” is an educational session that provides instruction on ideas and strategies teachers can use to help each other incorporate thoughtful practice (application) and informative feedback (assessment) into their classroom routines. During this session, key points will be highlighted, including: high-involvement, guided practice; tests and performance assessment; feedback; self-testing and reflection. Teachers will learn to provide time for students to work collaboratively to explain, interpret, apply and test what they are learning, which will enable them to retain the knowledge they acquire. Special attention is also given to the implementation of flexible learning groups to build knowledge-rich environments that engage students in a variety of individual and collaborative learning tasks.
