How Do You Know Students Learned What You Just Taught? Lee Ann Pruske Rosann Hollinger Bernard Rahming Mathematics Teaching Specialists, Milwaukee Public Schools National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics Indianapolis, IN April 11, 2011
Learning Intention We are learning to understand the role of learning intentions and success criteria in the instructional process.
Success Criteria We know we are successful when we can articulate the role of learning intentions and success criteria in the instructional process.
Milwaukee Public Schools Mathematics • 184 Schools • 82,000 Students • 184 Math Teacher Leaders (116 released) • 10 Math Teaching Specialists • Year 8 of the MMP grant Monthly, day-long professional development for MTLs
MMP Learning Team Continuum Aligned with Formative Assessment Principles
“…children are more motivated and task oriented if they know the learning intention of the task, but they are also able to make better decisions about how to go about the task. “ Shirley Clarke, 2001
The Purpose of… Learning Intentions is to focus the teacher and the student on the important math to develop in a lesson Success Criteria is to articulate to students what they should be able to demonstrate or do after the day’s lesson.
Analyzing a Sample Lesson and Applying Formative Assessment Principles Work in small groups: • Analyze the lesson and background information to surface the big math ideas. • Translate a big math idea into a student friendly learning intention and success criteria; record on chart paper and post on wall.
Sharing Learning Intentions … “Is only the first step in the processes of formative assessment, leading to pupil self-evaluation and teacher or peer feedback after the work is completed.” Shirley Clarke, 2001
Learning Intention and Success Criteria • We are learning to understand the role of learning intentions and success criteria in the instructional process. • We know we are successful when we can articulate the role of learning intentions and success criteria in the instructional process.
