Many of our tutors\nteach concepts to their student athletes and provide examples without examining\ntheir full understanding. As a result, students return to their lecture with a vague\nunderstanding of foundational concepts. Think of it this way, a construction\ncrew would never build on dirt. They first must lay a solid foundation of cement\nand steel before building up a skyscraper. The same applies to a student\u2019s understanding;\nimagine learning about chemical thermodynamics without first learning to\nbalance a chemical reaction. In absence of a rooted assessment the learning process\nwill inevitably come crashing down. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing a research paper is a great opportunity to\nemploy T.E.A. in your instructional approach. AMH 2000 often expects students\nto draw similarities across American time periods and illustrate these continuities\nin a concise essay. Your role as a tutor is to help student athletes describe\nthese similarities and to do so clearly. Say your student athletes is prompted to\nwrite about protest at 3 points in American history. First, pinpoint what time\nperiods they are most interested, say the prohibition movement, the suffragist\nmovement, and counterculture movement. Next, draw continuities among these\nmovements with questions such as a \u201cWas there a person central to the movement?\u201d,\n\u201cWhat demographic was mobilized?\u201d, and \u201cWhat was happening in the broader\ncontext of American history that spurred the movement?\u201d. Next, assess their understanding\nby reviewing the paper both for content and mechanics. Again, T.E.A. works well\nto improve a student\u2019s grammar. If the student writes in passive instead of\nactive voice, teach the difference between the two and provide examples of\neach. Then assess the student\u2019s understanding by prompting them to restructure their\nsentences into active voice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teach Exemplify Assess is a useful tool when\ninstructing students and is equally functional for tutors of all levels of experience.\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nicholas Hessing If you attended the Science Roundtable last spring semester you probably remember T.E.A.: Teach, Exemplify, Assess.
