Which step comes after actively monitoring during a guided practice?

• A. Debrief with students at the end of activities.
• B. Debrief with the teacher to assess outcomes.
• C. Ignore student feedback.
• D. Start a new unrelated activity.

Answer: (B)

Active monitoring during guided practice provides real-time evidence of how well students are applying the new skill. After collecting this information, the next step is to debrief with the teacher to assess outcomes. This debrief helps the teacher review what was observed, determine whether learning targets are being met, and decide the next instructional moves—such as reteaching, regrouping, or moving students to independent practice. This keeps instruction responsive and ensures the lesson progresses based on actual student needs. Debriefing with students at the end would come after practice is finished, and ignoring feedback or starting a new unrelated activity would disrupt the learning flow.
