Standard D.1. Clear Expectations: • Teachers must create and explain objectives, concepts, and learning outcomes in a clearly written, concise format and to explain the course organization to students. • The teacher must establish criteria for appropriate online behavior for both teacher and students. • The teacher must provide clear expectations for teacher response time to student queries. • The teacher must align both teacher and student expectations for the course
Using a Wiki, create a virtual syllabus that demonstrates your understanding and working application of establishing clear learner expectations. Be Sure to: Clearly address your course expectations and your learner objectives for the course. Explain objectives, concepts, and learner outcomes in a clearly written and concise format. Define the assessment criteria for the course. Establish clear expectations for class interaction for both students and teacher. Upon completion, have a colleague score your virtual syllabus using iNACOL’s Rubric for Standard D.

Be sure to address: • A teachers’ response and its potential impact both positively and negatively on Student Performance • Effective criterion for teacher response time to student inquiry
Standard D.3. Effective Teacher Feedback (Konold, Miller, & Konold, 2004, p. 65). • Research supports that appropriate feedback consistently emerges as a powerful tool to promote student learning. • High quality feedback is timely, accurate, constructive, outcome-focused, encouraging, and positive. • Planned, specific feedback is much more likely to influence student performance than haphazard, general feedback. • Feedback should focus on what the student did correctly, as well as what needs to be done to improve future performance.
All Feedback is Not Created Equally: Provide Examples of Effective and Ineffective Feedback Effective Feedback: • ___________________ • ___________________ • ___________________ • ___________________ • ___________________ Ineffective Feedback • ____________________ • ____________________ • ____________________ • ____________________ • ____________________ Effective Feedback is timely, accurate, constructive, outcome-focused, encouraging, and positive. Ineffective Feedback is vague, lacking precise information regarding learner error, negative and demeaning.
