5. In a previous AISI cycle, LCHS staff dedicated their time to reviewing Programs of Study in order to translate course outcomes into Student Friendly Language. ELA Social Studies

6. Teacher Artifacts - Chemistry 20 – student self- pre-assessment Humanities 10 – the 1 st month of the course is devoted to skills assessment Social Studies 20 – using summative assessment to pre- assess final exam expectation

7. Student Examples: Click to view team presentation of team skills required for Humanities 10

8. Teacher: Unit Anticipation Guide for students: texts and tasks are correlated to SFL outcomes; assignments and topics identified as formative or summative.

9. #5.Utilization of Rubrics and Exemplars: ECLCHS Teachers use a variety of rubrics to provide relevant, meaningful and ongoing feedback to students on formative tasks

10. #5.Utilization of Rubrics and Exemplars: ECLCHS Students have opportunities to gauge their own learning, assess their relative strengths and weaknesses, and develop strategies for achieving their learning goals. Math Activity: surface area – students calculate area required for a “skin graft”

11. #6. Introduction of New Knowledge: ECLCHS http://youtu.be/8Cy1x0w9JQg www.brainpop.com http://www.dnatube.com/video/551/The- Inner-Life-Of-A-Cell-HQ (Introducing protein synthesis in a cell) Science Department Websites that Work! http://youtu.be/8Cy1x0w9JQg www.brainpop.com http://www.dnatube.com/video/551/The- Inner-Life-Of-A-Cell-HQ (Introducing protein synthesis in a cell) Science Department Websites that Work! - With a deaf or hard of hearing student there are always situations that arise which require the learning of new vocabulary in the way of signs. Time is taken out of the student’s day to introduce the new vocabulary through the use of a sign language dictionary as well as software. - There may also be situations when there is not a sign for a particular word. In these instances the transliterator and the student may choose to create a sign following the principles of Signing Exact English. Doing this with the student helps ensure that they will be able to make connections to 'parallel' knowledge or make some personal connection to the outcome.

12. #6. Introduction of New Knowledge: ECLCHS Student presentation about bear safety in Phys. Ed. – part of preparation for their camping trip Student Cold War presentation: Soviet War in Afghanistan Student Presentation: evolution of Canadian National Identity: Canadian Bill of Rights

13. Teacher: Differentiation Variety of Instructional Strategies

14. Student: Differentiation / Engagement Deepening Understanding/ Engagement

15. Science!! Students demonstrated experiments that reveal chemical properties and reactions. Hydrocarbon combustion: burning methanol Student presentations were peer evaluated according to project outcomes

16. Building Systems and Design classes collaborated to have students build structures designed by their peers. Clearly Defined Outcomes: Student can explain, in their own words, the expected outcome to another student, a parent or to the teacher.

17. Teacher Example:

18. Student Examples: ELA 30 – understanding archetypes, theme, visual literacy, critical analysis of text Fabrication Studies – student compares weld to teacher- provided sample/exemplar

19. Student Examples: Domestic Foods: Creative Baking Module 3030. The pictures are of outcome 1.1.2 make advanced choux paste product Croquembouche (cream puff tower - each cream puff has a vanilla pastry filling) Fashion Studies: 1.demonstrate and apply basic construction skills at an appropriate level in assembling a project 2.demonstrate safe and proficient use of sewing equipment, pressing equipment, cutting tools and sewing notions 3.demonstrate basic competencies LAWS: 1)Table Setting – dishes, utensils, condiments, organization 2)Meal Preparation – understanding and implementing instructions, use of materials and ingredients

20. Teacher: Science 30 Study Guide: concepts & outcomes are identified and contextualized; students can also see what types of questions will be asked for each unit outcome.

21. Assessment scale for formative tasks. Students have their own copy of the scale and receive a score out of 5 in each relevant category. Categories to be assessed are identified prior to submission.

22. #11. Remediation and Pyramids of Intervention: ECLCHS School and classroom policies reflect the goal of addressing student activity in order to support choices that are conducive to success in the classroom and toward graduation.

23. #11. Remediation and Pyramids of Intervention: ECLCHS Students in Transitions and Social Studies have the opportunity to share their progress and address issues of academic or personal struggle with their teachers.
