+ Student Growth Goal-Setting Scenario Rebecca Woosley, Effectiveness Coach Kelly Philbeck, LDC/ELA Instructional Specialist Oct. 16, 2014

+ Today’s Targets the process (HOW the teacher collected and used data for SG) the decisions the teacher made (WHAT he did) the rationale (WHY he made those decisions)

+ Let’s look at a social studies scenario Mr. Diamond, a World History teacher at Ben Franklin High School

+ Step 1: Determining Needs Step 1: Determine needs Step 2: Create specific learning goals based on pre- assessment Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies Step 4: Monitor student progress through ongoing formative assessment Step 5: Determine whether the student achieved the goals

+ What did Mr. Diamond’s PLC do first? Enduring Learning – ENDURES beyond a single test date is of value in other disciplines is relevant beyond the classroom is worthy of embedded, course-long focus may be necessary for the next level of instruction

+ Enduring Skills/Learning Mr. Diamond’s PLC identified: Construct compelling and supporting questions to develop inquiry skills Use evidence to support a claim Evaluate the credibility of sources Communicate conclusions to a range of audiences Critique own work as well as the work of others Take informed action

+ Determining the baseline and growth measure What did Mr. Diamond plan to use for his baseline data and growth measure? How did he arrive at the decision?

+ LDC Classroom Assessment Allows for pre-assessment baseline data using one of the LDC rubrics Allows formative and end of year post- assessment data Uses the same template as the teaching task in the LDC module

+ Step 2: Creating the Student Growth Goal Step 1: Determine needs Step 2: Create specific learning goals based on pre- assessment Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies Step 4: Monitor student progress through ongoing formative assessment Step 5: Determine whether the student achieved the goals The teacher creates a student growth goal built on the baseline data collected and analyzed in Step 1.

+ Goal … a statement of an intended outcome of your work: Student Learning Distinct from Strategies Strategies = Means Goal = End (the intended outcome) What is a Student Growth Goal?

Kentucky Department of Education Professional Growth and Effectiveness System Student Growth Goals Basics… SMART goal Proficiency component & Growth component One classroom of students, one content area Specific, Measureable, Appropriate, Realistic, Time- Bound ___% of students will reach the level of proficiency as determined by… All of my students will grow at least _____. 3 rd Grade math students 1 st period 7 th grade language arts students 6 th period high school concert band students 3 rd Grade math students 1 st period 7 th grade language arts students 6 th period high school concert band students

+ Mr. Diamond’s SGG For the current school year, all of the 10 th grade world history students in my 3 rd block class will make measurable progress in the enduring skill, use evidence to support a claim. All students will move up at least 1 level in each of the three scoring elements and 75% of students will achieve at the 3 or higher level on the controlling idea, reading/research, and development areas of the LDC Argumentation Rubric.

+ Step 3: Creating & Implementing Strategies (What skills/instruction?) Step 1: Determine needs Step 2: Create specific learning goals based on pre- assessment Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies Step 4: Monitor student progress through ongoing formative assessment Step 5: Determine whether the student achieved the goals

+ Start by deciding on instructional strategies for goal attainment 19

+ Carefully chosen strategies are … supported by research supported by research developmentally appropriate developmentally appropriate appropriate for the subject matter appropriate for the subject matter 20

+ THE QUESTION FORMULATION TECHNIQUE (QFT) Students' Questions as a Catalyst for: Deeper Learning, Joy in Teaching and a Healthier Democracy Based on the Keynote presentation for Ky Council of Social Studies Conference September 2014 Erlanger, KY By Dan Rothstein The Right Question Institute: Cambridge, MA

+ The Big Idea Students are more successful when they learn to ask their own questions

+ The Vision: High School Students in Boston, MA “When you ask the question, you feel like it’s your job to get the answer.” ENGAGEMENT!

+  A Question Focus  Rules for Producing Questions  Producing Questions  Categorizing Questions-Open/Closed  Prioritizing Questions  Next Steps  Reflection Components of the Question Formulation Technique TM Packet pages 13-15

+ Rules for Producing Questions Ask as many questions as you can. Do not stop to answer, judge, or discuss. Write down every question exactly as it was stated. Change any statements into questions. Packet pages 16-17

+ Experiencing the Question Formulation Technique TM

+ Question Focus Some students are not asking questions in my classroom Packet pages 16-17

+ Producing Questions Some students are not asking questions in my classroom 1. Ask Questions 2. Follow the Rules 3. Number the Questions Packet pages 16-17

+ Categorizing Questions: Closed/Open Definitions: Closed-ended questions can be answered with a “yes” or “no” or with a one-word answer. Open-ended questions require more explanation. Directions: Identify your questions as closed- ended or open-ended by marking them with a “C” or an “O”.

+ Discussion

+ Change Closed to Open and Open to Closed -Ended Questions Directions: Take one closed-ended question and change it into an open- ended question

+ Prioritizing Questions Review your list of questions Choose the three questions you consider most important. While prioritizing, think about your QFocus: Some students are not asking questions in my classroom

+ Prioritizing Questions Why did you choose those three questions as the most important? Where are your priority questions in the sequence of your entire list of questions?

+ Share 1. Questions you changed from closed to open 2. Your three priority questions and their numbers in your original sequence 3. Rationale for choosing priority questions

+ Reflection What did you learn? How did you learn it? What do you understand differently now about asking questions?

+ Classroom Example: Secondary Teacher: Megan Harvell, Boston, MA Topic: American History –The Civil War Purpose: Pre-reading activity to engage students Question Focus:

+ Student Questions 1. Why are they fighting? 2. Are they fighting? 3. Are they part of the government? 4. Where were they? 5. Who are they? 6. Were they signing anything? 7. Who else was there? 8. Why are you hitting him? 9. Why didn’t they call 911? 10. Was this related to slavery? 11. Why is he hitting him with a bat? 11. Why are you taking a pen? 12. Why are they in court? 13. Who hit who first? 15. Who died? 16. Why are they smiling?

Who hit who first? 15. Who died? 16. Why are they smiling? Compelling Questions “Focus on enduring issues and concerns. They deal with curiosities about how things work; interpretations and applications of disciplinary concepts; and unresolved issues that require students to construct arguments in response.” C3 Framework p.23 Supporting Questions “Focus on descriptions, definitions, and processes on which there is general agreement within the social studies disciplines, and require students to construct explanations that advance claims of understanding in response” C3 Framework p.23 C3 Dimension 1

+ Educator Observations Novice Teachers “I’ve never seen my students so engaged as when they are using the QFT.” Veteran Teachers “I’ve prided myself in my 33 years of teaching in the good questions I ask of my students. But, I saw that they go through this process and they ask great questions that I never, ever would have thought of.” University Professors “I have been stunned by the depth and breadth of questions that my students have created during QFT sessions – and I feel that I am just beginning to learn how to use the technique.”

+ The Skill of Asking Questions For getting to better answers For increasing engagement and ownership For demonstrating inquiry in the classroom For a little more joy in a very demanding profession And…

+ The Research Confirms the Importance of Student Questioning Self-Questioning (metacognitive strategy): Students formulating their own questions proved to be one of the most effective metacognitive strategies Engaging in pre-lesson self-questioning improved students rate of learning by nearly 50% (Hattie, p.193) Visible Learning: A Synthesis of Over 800 meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement by John Hattie. 1 st Edition, December 26, 2008.
