Teacher Professional Learning

The instructional focus for November 11 - December 19 for the district is ERROR ANALYSIS.

ERROR ANALYSIS is the act of finding and describing errors in your own thinking or performance, and to find and describe errors in the thinking or performance of others. To utilize the Higher Order Thinking Skill of ERROR ANALYSIS, follow the sequence of thinking below:

  • 1. Determine if the information is attempting to persuade, change behavior, or if the information is based on facts.
  • 2. Identify unusual claims or reasoning.
  • 3. Look for errors in the claims or steps of the process.
  • 4. If errors are found, ask for clarification or more accurate information.

    Ask yourself the following questions:

  • 1. Does something seem wrong?
  • 2. Are there errors in thinking or in the process?
  • 3. What effect do these errors have?
  • 4. Can the errors be corrected?
  • 5. Is there better information to help?
