Autonomous Learning 

Students in LARGE classes shouldn’t wait all class for help! And teachers shouldn’t have to run around either! The phrases selected for the SMART Check Tables give students the ability to assess their own level on a scale of 0-10 during class. This creates clarity and more motivation to learn.

Formative Assessment

How can ALL students within mixed-level classes improve? SMART Check tables allow students of any level to keep moving forwards with a formative assessment approach. They show students their NOW column scores and direct them with class practices to get higher LATER column scores, and better tests scores.

Self Determination Theory 

 Humans always want to feel they are improving. Students are no different. By using SMART Check Tables regularly in class, students feel happy when they can see their improving table scores and focus harder when they don’t. Knowing that they are taking steps forward each time they try is a very powerful motivator.
