VST History Examples - Tool Belt of Learning
VST is a tool that breaks down prompts to ensure students are answering the question that the prompt is asking. It then further acts as a tool for students to check that the content they're including is relevant to the prompt. Various history examples are included from my IB History class. V- Verb (what the prompt asks you to do) S- Skill (definition of the verb) T- Topic (key words from the prompt)

Teaching style
My goal is to teach my students what I refer to as the Tool belt of Learning. This will provide them academic, organization, and life skills they can transfer across disciplines and grade levels.
I also believe in front loading skills, so that students head into the year knowing what is ahead. I also provide them an overview of the skills from the Tool Belt of Learning that will be beneficial to them throughout the year, in other classes, and beyond.
