Presentation Transcript

  1. Standards and curriculum designers at the district, state or national levels continue to publish documents that are distinguished more by their girth than their effectiveness. (Reeves, 2008, p. 48–49)

  2. “Students cannot assess their own learning or set goals to work toward without a clear vision of the intended learning.” Stiggins, Arter, Cahappuis & Chappius, 2004 http://www.flickr.com/photos/evilerin/3093851614/

  3. When they do try to assess their own achievement without understanding the learning targets they have been working toward, their conclusions are vague and unhelpful. Stiggins, Arter, Cahappuis & Chappius, 2004, pp. 58-59 http://www.flickr.com/photos/chaparral/382859222/sizes/o/

  4. Classrooms where students understand the learning outcomes for daily lessons see performance rates 20 percent higher than those where learning outcomes are unclear. Marzano, 2003

  5. Writing student friendly learning targets simply involves beginning each target with an approachable phrase like “I can” or “I am learning to,” defining uncommon words in an age-appropriate way, and including an action that can be observed. (Stiggins et al., 2006) YES WE CAN

  6. 7.4.3. Performance Standard: Describe the role of the trans-Saharan caravan trade in the changing religious and cultural characteristics of West Africa and the influence of Islamic beliefs, ethics, and law. YES WE CAN

  7. 7.4.3. I Can Statement: I can describe how the Saharan caravan trade influenced the lives of people living in Western Africa. This means I can detail three specific examples of how the caravan trade led to changes in the cultures, religions, and laws of this region. YES WE CAN

  8. This is much better than those objective sheets that they hand out in the beginning of the school year. I like that it is in 'kidspeak' so that we can all understand the objective! Parent Survey Response, 2009 YES WE CAN
