<p> Possible EOC Test Prep Interventions</p><p>How can we help our Academic English I students pass the EOC? Brainstorm a plan to implement each of these interventions into your classes.</p><p>1. Incorporate “Higher Level Order Skills” to daily student tasks</p><p>2. Conduct short daily review sessions of EOC material</p><p>3. Require students to read text assignments before class discussions and require students to review notes immediately after lectures and discussions.</p><p>4. Use research based teaching strategies with students</p><p>5. Allow students to “review with a group” as a regular study session in class to promote more discussion with peers about content.</p><p>6. Help students identify their weaknesses prior to the test. Conduct a major review early enough before the test to allow students to meet with you to seek extra help for EOC weaknesses. </p><p>7. Break up study/review tasks into manageable chunks for students</p><p>8. Present the most difficult material at the beginning of the period and AGAIN at the end of the period as a review daily.</p><p>9. Review the Standard Course of Study and match each assigned task for students as a PLT</p><p>10. Using data to indicate focused weekly reviews</p><p>***Please choose 6 of the 10 that you can commit to implementing for the entire spring semester by circling them. Next month, we will discuss what worked well and what did not as a PLT. </p><p>Adapted from On Becoming a Master Student by David B.
