Slide 1 - Quiz

Today's lesson:

  • Recap of session 1+2: analyzing samples of aims and SC
  • WALT(aim): Before the end of the lesson, students can design Phase 2 of the FE loop for an English language activity
  • WILF (SC): 
- Students can describe Phase 2 of the 5 Phase Cycle
- Students can list at least three informal and three formal ways of Checking For Understanding 
- Students can list three functions of C4Us
- Students can list the different types of information a teacher should look for when checking 
   for understanding

Slide 2 - Slide

Let's check in on those aims and SC...

Slide 3 - Slide

Consider this example of an aim and SC for a lesson.
  • Are the SC aligned with the aim?
  • Are the SC necessary to achieve the aim?
  • Do the SC show evidence of student learning?

Slide 4 - Slide

Consider this example of an aim and SC for a lesson.
  • Are the SC aligned with the aim?
  • Are the SC necessary to achieve the aim?
  • Do the SC show evidence of student learning?
+ What learning needs to take place?

Slide 5 - Slide

Look at the aim and SC that you've brought with you today
  • based on the analysis we've just done, check alignment within the aim and its SC
  • adjust your SC/aim if needed

Slide 6 - Slide

Peer feedback (7min)
  • Swap aims and SC with a partner. Give feedback and feed forward:
  • Is the aim SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely)?
  • Identify each letter of the acronym in your peer's aim. (what makes it Specific, what makes it Measurable, etc.) 
  • Are the SC correctly formulated? 
  • Identify the action verbs in each SC, e.g. define/describe/explain/use/etc.
  • Do the SC all show evidence of student learning? Explain.
  • Share your observations with your peer. Then swap back and adjust your work.

Slide 7 - Slide

True or false: In phase 1, the teacher always sets the aim and decides on the success criteria (SC) him/herself.
TRUE
FALSE

Slide 8 - Poll

If your answer was 'true':
Watch the third video uploaded as prep work in BS for last week, because the teacher does not always set the aim and decide on the SC him/herself. Students can do that as well. The teacher needs to make sure they tick all the boxes, though, so are they SMART and do they all show student learning and of course: Do  all SC lead to achieving the aim?

Slide 9 - Slide

Collect evidence of learning
Collect evidence of HOW students reach the aim.
C4Us = Checks for Understanding
Suggestions for the example of 5 sentences about yourself?
Analyse evidence of learning
Describe and explain observations of the collected evidence of learning. What went well? Why? Where is room for improvement?
Discuss findings/analysis with students
Providing students with feedback. Informing them about your findings. How do you do that so their learning can benefit from your feedback?
Suggestions?
Improve your teaching and the students' learning
If you had to teach the same again, what would you do differently? Why? Which activities can you come up with to make sure your students reach the aim set in phase 1?
Suggestions?
Aims and success criteria (SC)
AIM(S) = WHAT do you want your students to learn?
SC = HOW will your students reach the aim?

Example AIM: Students can introduce themselves in 5 sentences.
SC? 

Slide 10 - Slide

If needed: Watch info about Phase 1 in Dutch (from SLO)

Slide 11 - Slide

Since our TM class last week, I've made an aim and SC for at least one lesson and tried them out at my placement school.
YES
NOT YET

Slide 12 - Poll

Phase 2: Ways to collect
evidence
of student learning

Slide 15 - Mind map

Formal ways to collect data on student learning
  • exam/test
  • quiz
  • handing in drafts
Informal ways to collect data on student learning
  • asking questions
  • group discussions
  • collect student answers/work
  • observing students
  • quick check-ins, ...

Slide 16 - Slide

Gathering evidence of student learning
  • teacher asks students to write on paper
  • teacher records verbal responses
  • teacher uses digital tools 
  • teacher asks students to use self-assessment
  • teacher asks students to give peer-feedback

Self-assessment & peer-feedback will be discussed next week

Slide 17 - Slide

Group work (15 mins)
  • Work in groups of 3.
  • Look at https://www.classcraft.com/blog/ways-to-check-for-understanding/ 
  • Choose one C4U work form each. Use this work form to formulate a C4U activity for your group to check their understanding for today's lesson. 
  • Decide on one of the activities as a group and carry it out.
  • Reflect on the activity: How well did it work? What did you find out about each other's learning process?
