Why Spiral? • students are getting exposure to all concepts on a regular basis all year long. • reduces that overwhelming feeling we get each year before testing as we struggle to find time to review. • allows you to monitor who is and isn’t retaining the information you have covered. Identify Gaps!
• Students will see a concept presented over and over and applied in different ways. It’ll be linked back to and reviewed, revisited instead of forgotten. • It helps with the problem “if you don’t use it you will lose it”
