  5. Warm-up Activity Share a “highlight” with the group: • What is one positive outcome you had in your instructional setting that resulted from your PLC work? Then share with a partner: • How are you doing on your ACES goal? ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  6. TIF-ed Lesson: Try it Out 1! Outside Task #1 • In a small group, share your TIF-ed lesson plan/materials. • Then share out some examples with the larger group. What DFP skills did it integrate? What did the lesson entail? How did it go? What evidence of learning did you observe? ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  7. My learner’s goals • Revisit Pre-Task #1 • In a pair/small group, review your learners’ long-term goals and the steps they need to get there. • Look at the final column of your worksheet you labeled “TIF Skills.” • Take out the TIF @ a Glance and look at the LS category (pp.3-4). • Together, consider (and jot down on handout p. 4) which LS skills and sub skills your students need to develop in order to take the steps they need to achieve their long-term goals. • Note: We will return to this activity in meeting THREE as well. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  8. Helping my student meet his/her goal… Given the LS skills and sub skills your student needs to succeed… • Which LS skills do you already teach? • Which LS skills do you need to add? ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  9. The Complete TIF ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  10. Transitions Integration Framework The Complete TIF • Navigate the complete TIF (pp. 14-21) to find sample activities for the LS sub-skills. • Choose 2 sample activities you could tweak and use with your students. (1 must be a technology activity.) • Discuss your choice with your partner/group. Then share out sample activity “finds” with the large group. How could this activity work in different contexts? ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  12. A Tale of Two Contexts… The Classroom: The Low-Level ELL Classroom ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  13. ACES Process: Step 1: Assess a LessonSample “Pre-ACES” Lesson Read and ASSESS the Pre A-C-E-S Lesson Plan to identify the Learning Strategies (LS) skills/sub skills being addressed. • Read the description of each lesson component and identify the LS skills and sub skills addressed. • Refer to the “TIF @ a Glance” LS category (pp. 3-4). • Note the skills and sub skills in the “Assess” column for each lesson component (e.g. LS 1a, 2b) Remember, the ACES process can be used with textbook materials, learner plans, and other instructional resources and routines, not just lesson plans. ACES can work in any ABE context! ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  14. Pre-ACES Lesson PlanWarm-up Warm-up: NA ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  15. Pre A-c-e-s Lesson: Assess NA ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  16. Pre-ACES Lesson PlanIntroduction Introduction: • Ask students simple WH?s about the image. • Elicit student responses to the images/title from the text. • Write prediction statements on the board. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  17. Pre A-c-e-s Lesson: Assess NA LS1b-1c ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  18. Pre-ACES Lesson PlanGuided Practice Guided Practice: • Read the story to the Ss, pausing to address predictions as needed. • Look together at the predictions made pre-reading. • Determine whether the predictions are T/F. • Read the story again and ask simple WH?s to assess their general understanding of the story. • Hand out the story and allow students to follow along while listening to the story. • Repeat the simple WH?s to address challenges. • Have students read three times: read to self (silently and aloud) and with a partner. • Read through the WH? comprehension questions, having students follow along. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  19. Pre A-c-e-s Lesson: Assess NA LS1b-1c LS1b, 1e ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  20. Pre-ACES Lesson PlanIndependent Practice Independent Practice: • Ss read the story independently again and answer the WH? comprehension questions. • Have Ss check answers with other Ss. • Re-read and explain the story as necessary. • Check the answers as a class. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  21. Pre A-c-e-s Lesson: Assess NA LS1b-1c LS1b, 1e LS1e NA ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  22. ACES Process: Step 2: Complement • Now watch the video clip of the “Post-ACES” TIF-ed lesson. Access video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AcZ2ZD_HGY&feature=em-uploademail • How did the teacher COMPLEMENT the lesson with additional LS skills and sub skills? • Refer to the TIF @ a Glance LS Snapshot. • Note the skills and sub skills on the GRID in the “complement” column. • Share out skills & sub skills ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  23. Post-ACES Lesson PlanWarm-up Warm-up:[0:20] • Introduce self. • Ask Ss introduction questions. • Either use the grid (or go paperless) for mingle asking/answering questions. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  24. Post A-c-e-s: Complement LS1a ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  25. Post-ACES Lesson PlanIntroduction Introduction:[2:54] • Explicitly introduce WH?s and their meanings. • Match questions with the pictures as a group. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  26. Post A-c-e-s: Complement LS1a LS1a,1c; LS2a ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  27. Post-ACES Lesson PlanGuided Practice Guided Practice:[11:28] • Ask students simple WH?s about the image from the story – write answers on board. • Elicit student responses to the images/title from the text on what the story is about. • Write responses as prediction statements on the board. • Read the story aloud to the Ss, pausing to address predictions as needed. • Look together at the predictions from pre-reading and determine whether the predictions are T/F using “Yes” and “No”, check answers to WH?s • Hand out the story and allow students to follow along while listening to the story. • Have students read three times: read to self (silently and aloud) and with a partner. • Ask Ss simple WH? comprehension questions. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  28. Post A-c-e-s: Complement LS1a LS1a,1c; LS2a LS1a-1f ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  29. Post-ACES Lesson PlanIndependent Practice Independent Practice:[21:13] • Have groups sort images from story into “Who”, “What are they doing”, “When”, “Where” and “How long”. • Once images are categorized, help Ss line up the images so they match the story. Ex. Packager, put things in boxes, in the factory, from 1996 to 2000 – line them up First, Next, Then • Once in order use the graphic organizer to write key vocabulary from the story. • Ss read the story independently again. • Using the grid they can practice asking/answering WH?s about the story in partners. • As a wrap up, Ss orally answer WH? questions from the teacher. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  30. Post A-c-e-s: Complement LS1a LS1a,1c; LS2a LS1a-1f LS1c-f; LS2a ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  31. Post-ACES Lesson PlanExtension Extension:[Not featured in video] • Students answer written comprehension questions. • Have each student write a summary statement about a different, but related image by filling in a graphic organizer with the person, action, place and time. • Students ask/answer questions about their images. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  32. Post A-c-e-s: Complement LS1a LS1a,1c; LS2a LS1a-1f LS1c-f; LS2a LS1a, 1f ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  33. Low-Level ELL Watch the interview with the instructor of a one-room schoolhouse. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiY3GrLo020&feature=em-uploademail • Observe the system she uses to TIF the lessons for her learners. • What kind of IPT does she use? How does she use it? • What kinds of pre-ACES materials does she use and how does she TIF them? ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  34. What works best in my setting? Consider both the classroom and the one-room schoolhouse contexts. In small groups, discuss these questions: • Which process would work best in your setting? (Classroom or 1-room schoolhouse?) • Why did you choose that option? • How would you tweak either process to better fit your setting and learners? • Is there a way to combine the two processes to get the best of both worlds? ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  35. TIFMethods ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  36. TIFMethods Definitions • Routines: a sequence of actions regularly followed; a routine process • Norms: standards of acceptable behavior; expectations within a specified context • Learning Task Formats: routine structures for activities and tasks that provide practice of lesson content • Language:vocabularyand language structuresthat are necessary to effectively address a specified TIF skill • Technology: technology use that mirrors what is necessary in the “target” environment. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  37. Which TIF method is which? • TIF methods can be labeled in more than one way: • Expecting students to email assignments is both technologyand a norm. • Expecting students to speak courteously is a norm but when you highlight the language structures (e.g. Could/can/may I…), it is also a language method. • The important thing is that all of these methods reinforce TIF skills consistently and authenticallyregardless of lesson content. • Now it’s your turn to think of some TIF Method examples! • Look at p. 24. • In a small group, share TIF Methods that address LS skills • Assess and Complement them for LS skills. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  38. Outside Task #2: IPT Evaluation In pairs, evaluate your instructional planning tool (IPT): What tweaks did you make & why? How did it work? ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  39. Work Time! Tools: • Instructional Planning Tool • LS Lesson materials Instructions: • Team up with someone with a similar context or learner group • Discuss your proposed ACES lessons • Identify the LS skills/sub skills to be addressed & note them on the IPT • Provide input and feedback to one another ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  40. TIF-ed Lesson Try It Out 2! Outside Task #4 • Implement the TIF-ed lesson you began planning. • Make sure to intentionally integrate LS skills. • Evaluate how the lesson went observing evidence of student learning. • Share this lesson at Meeting THREE. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015

  41. Outside Tasks #5 & #6 Outside Task #5 • Implement one TIF Method into your setting • Share at meeting THREE. Outside Task #6 • Review/preview the Navigating Systems (NS) category from the TIF. • Choose lesson materials that you plan to use following PLC Meeting THREE that you could integrate NS skills into. • Bring these to work on during Meeting THREE. ACES PLC II, ATLAS, January 2015
