Priorities of the FFT Brain Sweat • What are the FFT has two priorities? • Cognitive engagement • “minds-on” • Constructivist learning • “learning is done by the learner” Teaching cannot be considered Proficient or Distinguished if students are not thinking and doing the learning themselves.

Take a look at how FfT can enhance T.L.C.
Clip Talk What evidence of Cognitive engagement and constructivist learning do you see or hear?
CLIPS We will be viewing a series of clips of a ninth grade Algebra 1 lesson.
What are the Behaviors needed to enhance teaching and learning? • What would be some student behaviors that depicts cognitive engagement and constructivist learning? • What teacher behaviors should be evident to bring about these student behavior?
All Roads Lead to… Planning
What to consider as you plan… Academic Rigor in a Thinking Curriculum Commitment to a Knowledge Core High Thinking Demand Active Use of Knowledge PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION • PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS www.pgcps.org 27
Commitment to a Knowledge Core Includes: An articulated curriculum that avoidsneedless repetitionandprogressivelydeepens concepts Curriculum and instruction that is organized around major concepts Teaching and assessment that focus on the mastery of core concepts PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION • PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS www.pgcps.org 28
High Thinking Demand Students are expected to raise questions, to solve problems, and to reason. Challenging assignmentsare included in every subject. Extended projectsare a part of the curriculum. Explanations and justification of ideas and opinions are expected of all students. Reflection on learningstrategies is evident in discussion and student work. PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION • PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS www.pgcps.org 29
Active Use of Knowledge Students are expected to: synthesize severalsources of information, test understandingbyapplyinganddiscussing concepts, apply prior knowledge, and interpret texts and construct solutions.

Domain 1: Planning and Preparation Component 1c: Establishing Instructional Outcomes Elements: Value, Sequence, and alignment, Clarity, Balance, Suitability for diverse learners 37
Value, Sequence, & Alignment Aligned to standards Part of a bigger picture, previous lesson, beginning lesson, etc. Represents high expectations & intellectual rigor (higher order thinking) Pieces of the Lesson
Connected to a sequence of learning both in the discipline and in related disciplines. Does this outcome connect to what students are learning in other disciplines? Is this important learning? Does the learning outcome represent high expectation for all students? Is the learning outcome rigorous? If not, how might you rewrite it to be more rigorous? Does the outcome naturally follow what students have previously learned? Value, Sequence and Alignment
Domain 1: Planning and Preparation Component 1c: Establishing Instructional Outcomes Elements: Value, Sequence, and alignment, Clarity, Balance, Suitability for diverse learners 42
Clarity Objectives use measurable verbs Clearly stated as a learning goal & can be assessed Teacher states outcome as learning not just as an activity Outcomes can be assessed/tested Pieces of the Lesson
Outcome What students are expected to learn Worthwhile and represent learning central to a discipline as well high level learning for the students The result or consequence of an activity in terms of success and failure Activity What students will do A single focus thing that the student does An educational process or procedure intended to stimulate learning through actual experience What’s the difference between Activity and Outcome?
The outcome is not that the student will complete page 38 and answer the questions but what will they learn as a consequence of answering the question on page 38. Outcome
Bringing Clarity, is it an activity or an outcome? Outcome: Today you will use your problem-solving skills to resolve the following dilemma… Activity: Read question #3 on page 47. work with a partner to answer the question. (This outcome is not about the answer to the dilemma, but rather the thinking students engage in to come to a resolution. The outcome allows the teacher to uncover how students are thinking about a situation and provides an opportunity to probe for deeper thinking.) Clarity-Teacher states outcome as learning not just as an activity
Instructional Outcomes do not describe what students will do, but what they will learn.
