Quick Tip: The Handshake Q & A
I came across a video of a teacher using a handshake strategy at Edutopia. I used to do a similar Question and Answer Handshake with my students as they left the classroom at the end of the day. The strategy provides another way to informally assess students, reinforce learnings, and nurture student/teacher relationships.
I tried embedding the video into this post, but didn’t have any luck. You can find the video at http://www.edutopia.org/teacher-tips-classroom-management-handshake-video
I read about it some days ago in another blog and the main things that you mention here are very similar
