  13. Creating Norms • On separate pieces of paper write down 3-5 non-negotiables that you want to have as your PLC norms—independently (no discussion) • With your colleagues, group the ideas • Evaluate and synthesize ideas into 3-5 group norms. Helping teachers improve studentlearning

  14. Guiding Questions for Team Norms • Are we clear on the commitments we hae made to each other? • Have we stated our commitments as explicit behaviors? • Have we discussed how to address the issue if we feel someone is not honoring our norms? • Do we have a plan to review the norms at the beginning and end of each meeting? Helping teachers improve studentlearning

  23. Review Webb’s DOK Helping teachers improve studentlearning

  24. Depth of Knowledge • Webb’s Depth of Knowledge levels: Recall and Reproduction: Level 1 Skills & Concepts: Level 2 Strategic Thinking: Level 3 Extended Thinking: Level 4

  25. Extended Thinking: Level 4 DOK 4 requires high cognitive demand and is very complex. Students are expected to make connections—relate ideas within the content or among content areas—and have to select or devise one approach among many alternatives on how the situation can be solved. Due to the complexity of cognitive demand, DOK 4 often requires an extended period of time.

  26. The Depth of Knowledge is NOT determined by the verb, but the context in which the verb is used and the depth of thinking required.

  27. DOK 3-Describe a model that you might use to represent the relationships that exist within the rock cycle.(requires deep understanding of rock cycle and a determination of how best to represent it) • DOK 2-Describe the difference between metamorphic and igneous rocks.(requires cognitive processing to determine the differences in the two rock types) • DOK 1-Describe three characteristics of metamorphic rocks.(simple recall) Same verb—three DOK levels
