7. 7 OBJECTIVES Participants will be able to: Create a statement of learning by writing a learning objective that is clear, measurable and at the targeted grade level.

8. 8 OBJECTIVES : Participants will be able to: Evaluate and create assessments by selecting and developing tools and methods that diagnose effectiveness of instruction, determine level of student learning and demonstrate mastery of learning objective

9. 9 OBJECTIVES : Participants will be able to: Develop appropriate and aligned learning experiences.

54. 54 Work together as a group to: Cut apart the Bloom’s Puzzle pieces Place them in the proper squares on the blank grid Check for accuracy and discuss

55. 55 Unpacking the Frameworks Bloom’s Taxonomy K – W – L Complete “L” – What you have Learned… KWL

56. 56 STAGE 1 Desired Results

57. 57 Establishing the Learning Objectives Prior to Instruction… 1.What do students need to know and be able to do by the end of this lesson to satisfy curriculum requirements? (and why should they learn it?) 2.What is the level of thinking required for my students to successfully meet this learning target? 3.What else do I want students to know and be able to do that will enhance their learning? 4.What should students be able to do after this lesson that they did not know or were not able to do prior to instruction?

58. 58 Unpacking the Frameworks Constructing a Learning Objective An Essential Tool for Total Instructional Alignment

59. 59 Unpacking the Frameworks Z-CHART

60. 60 Practice: Constructing a Learning Objective Divide chart paper into 4 sections; list everything you recall that goes in each of the four boxes. When completed, compare with two other tables. 1 43 2

61. 61 Let’s Practice! Each group choose one SLE Fill in the four boxes of the Z chart Change the information in the Z chart into a learning objective Write the learning objective on a piece of chart paper Each group report out to whole group

62. 62 Let’s Practice Again! Each group choose one SLE Fill in the four boxes of the Z chart Change the information in the Z chart into a learning objective Write the learning objective on a piece of chart paper Each group report out to whole group

63. 63 REPORT OUT Is it measurable? Is it in keeping with the level of Bloom’s that the SLE presents? Will it be easily communicated to students?

76. 76 Task Analysis (Four Necessary Steps) 1.Determine the Learning Goal. 2.Make sure there is clear understanding of the learning goal. 3.Identify the learning steps necessary to accomplish the goal. 4. Establish a logical order for instruction.

77. 77 Practice: Task Analysis Complete a Task Analysis for freestyle swimming. (L. Carter handout) Follow the four steps. Begin each task with a MEASURABLE verb.

78. 78 Practice: Task Analysis Was this easy or hard? Why?

79. 79 More Practice: Task Analysis Following the four steps, complete a task analysis for one of the learning objectives your group wrote earlier in the day and write it on the chart paper with the learning objective Display your chart paper on the wall. Groups carousel and give feedback on post-it notes.
