Classroom Assessment for Learning Focus for Today Key 2: Clear Targets

Todays Training Goals Every Teacher Will: Know the 4 types of learning targets Know the 4 types of learning targets Understand each target type Understand each target type Be able to unpack an objective or standard with competence and confidence Be able to unpack an objective or standard with competence and confidence Begin to consider how this knowledge of learning targets applies to your lesson objectives, PDSA goals, classroom instructional strategies and CFAs. Begin to consider how this knowledge of learning targets applies to your lesson objectives, PDSA goals, classroom instructional strategies and CFAs.

We Need Clear Targets To: Know if the assessment adequately covers what we taught Know if the assessment adequately covers what we taught Correctly identify what students know and dont know Correctly identify what students know and dont know Have students self-assess or set goals for future study that are likely to help them learn more Have students self-assess or set goals for future study that are likely to help them learn more Keep track of student learning target by target or standard by standard Keep track of student learning target by target or standard by standard Complete a standards-based report card Complete a standards-based report card

Kinds of Achievement Targets Knowledge – Master factual and procedural knowledge Knowledge – Master factual and procedural knowledge Reason – Use knowledge to reason and solve problems Reason – Use knowledge to reason and solve problems Performance – Demonstrate mastery of specific performance skills Performance – Demonstrate mastery of specific performance skills Product – Create quality products Product – Create quality products (See handout for verbs to go with each type of target)

Lets give it a try! Goal: The Learner will drive a car with skill Goal: The Learner will drive a car with skill Big & Broad (We see this in our curriculum too!) Big & Broad (We see this in our curriculum too!) The Guiding Questions: The Guiding Questions: What knowledge will students need to demonstrate the intended learning?What knowledge will students need to demonstrate the intended learning? What patterns of reasoning will they need to master?What patterns of reasoning will they need to master? What skills are required, if any?What skills are required, if any? What product development capabilities must they acquire, if any?What product development capabilities must they acquire, if any?

Unpack The Objective: Will Drive A Car With Skill Take a look at the deconstructed learning objective by target Take a look at the deconstructed learning objective by target Each group writes an I Can (Student –Friendly Learning Target) Statement for their assigned target Each group writes an I Can (Student –Friendly Learning Target) Statement for their assigned target Share out Share out

Now Lets Look At Some Real Examples Knowledge, Reasoning, Skill or Product? Knowledge, Reasoning, Skill or Product?

A Work In Progress We have Curriculum Guides & Blueprints We have Curriculum Guides & Blueprints Can you take the goal/objective, unpack it into Knowledge/Reasoning/Skill/Product targets? Can you take the goal/objective, unpack it into Knowledge/Reasoning/Skill/Product targets? Can you write student friendly I Can statements? Can you write student friendly I Can statements? What is your daily routine? Do you make the connection with your students? What is your daily routine? Do you make the connection with your students?
