What Happens when Address Specific Group Errors is Done with Fidelity  

The Technique  

As students are learning, they will make errors. Effective teaching requires teachers to address specific group errors effectively so that students do not incorporate errors into what they know about a topic or how they are engaging in processes. 

Addressing specific group errors also ensures that teachers know precisely where students are having difficulties. For example, when teachers implement a Good-bye List, they increase students’ awareness of difficult parts of the lesson and amplify the potential for student success. Consistent use of this effective teaching technique increases the group’s ability to reach or exceed expected lesson mastery, which lifts standard growth.
