1. WELCOME!Total Instructional Alignment(TIA)(Based on the work of Lisa Carter)

2. Diamond Reflection • I came expecting…

3. Purpose • Logistics • Agenda • Breaks as needed individually • Cell phones off or on vibrate

4. Intended Outcomes • Understand Total Instructional Alignment and be able to use alignment document/pacing guide to develop units/lessons. • Understand and be able to evaluate the three stages of Understanding by Design (UBD). • Understand the power of collaborative processes and be able to collaboratively design UBD lessons. • Products from participation in the range of learning experiences throughout the day will provide evidence that the intended outcomes have been met.

5. Introductions • Check-in • Who you are… • What’s going on… • 4 minutes

6. Table-Talk Roles • Facilitator • Keeps the group on task • Makes sure everyone has a chance to participate • Recorder • Writes down key points on newsprint • Spelling and handwriting don’t count in round one • Write quickly to keep up with ideas • Time Keeper • Periodically reminds team members of time constraints • Keeps team meetings focused on the tasks at hand • Identifies when more time is needed for discussion • Runner • Gathers/distributes materials as needed • Reporter • Synthesizes, with the help of group members, key points and summarizes them for the whole group

7. Decision Making – ConsensusReview Consensus Step-By-Step process in your materials. • In what situations is consensus the most appropriate decision-making tool? • Why not just vote?

8. Decision Making – Consensus • Everyone can “live with” the decision • Establish and use evaluative criteria • Accept conflict as part of the process • Encourage negotiation and collaboration • Emphasize fact over opinion • Not about winning or losing • Don’t give in just to avoid conflict • Flipping coins and voting are not viable alternatives

9. Development of Group Norms • Seven Norms of Collaborative Work* • Promoting a Spirit of Inquiry • Pausing • Paraphrasing • Probing • Putting Ideas on the Table • Paying attention to Self and Others • Presuming Positive Intentions • *In your participant materials.

20. Practice: Constructing a Learning Objective • Divide chart paper into 4 sections; list everything you recall that goes in each of the four boxes. When completed, compare with two other tables. (6 minutes) 1 2 3 4

21. Practice: Constructing a Learning Objective • (L. Carter handout – page 10) • For the Learning Objectives listed on this page, write (on large chart paper) in Z-square format, the corresponding word/phrase in each of the 4 boxes. • (5 minutes) • Check your work! • Compare to table next to you. • Questions?

22. Practice: Constructing a Learning Objective • W.4.3.11 Edit for spelling of appropriate words, usage, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure. • (Format on Page 11 – L. Carter handout) • Use large chart paper; put the corresponding words/phrases in each Z-Chart box. Is this a clear learning objective? If not, then rewrite as a learning objective. • Post then Facilitator Carousel

23. Unpacking the Frameworks • Bloom’s Taxonomy • K – W – L • Add to “L” if you learned more…

24. Unpacking the Frameworks • Lisa Carter Video • Task Analysis • (L. Carter handout – page 12)

25. Practice: Task Analysis • Complete a Task Analysis • for the example on page 13 • (L. Carter Handout) • OR • one of the examples on page 14. • Follow the steps on page 12. • Begin each task with a MEASURABLE verb.

26. Practice: Task Analysis • Was this easy or hard? • Why?

27. More Practice: Task Analysis • Following the steps on page 12, complete a • Task Analysis for an SLE in your content area. • Pass the Pencil. • 13 minutes.

28. Task Analysis • Why is a Task Analysis important? • Table Discussion • Popcorn Report

29. Unpacking the Frameworks • SLE Alignment Activity • K-5 Teams • 6-12 Teams (HINT-be sure there is an ELA teacher on each of the secondary teams!) • Baggie of ELA SLEs per team • Group consensus on alignment SLEs • Glue SLEs to on the agreed upon grade-level chart • Pick up correct alignment sheet and count up number your team has correct How many teams with 100%?

30. Alignment Documents • Ready to use: • English Language Arts • Mathematics • In progress – we can use: • Science • Beginning stages: • Social Studies • For all other content areas, we will use the frameworks as they are but will begin clarification process as we use them.

34. TIA and UBD Lesson Design • From what you’ve learned about TIA and Lesson Design, develop a set of “quality indicators” which could be used to guide Lesson Design work. • Stage 1……Stage 2……Stage 3 • Brainstorm Prioritize Non-Negotiables • Record 3 non-negotiables • for each stage on chart paper. Post.

35. Lesson DesignUnderstanding by Design (UBD) • Use the “Quality Indicators” to assess the lessons in your “grade band”; the lessons are located in the back of your Facilitator Manual. • 3 for all three stages evident. • 2 for two stages evident. • 1 for one stage evident. • 0 for no stages evident. • Facilitated report. • What AHAs?

36. Lesson DesignUnderstanding by Design (UBD) • With this SLE, • design a lesson using the UBD Framework. • M.13.2.2 Tell time • to the nearest five-minute interval. • Include: Level of Bloom’s • Objective – Z Chart • Task Analysis • Post on chart paper. • Group carousel. • Feedback on small post its.

45. Next Steps • English Language Arts and Math • Continue to develop units/lessons using alignment document and UBD framework • Make notes of revisions needed • Science and Social Studies • Alignment documents will be completed by January, 2008 • Use “in progress” documents to develop units/lessons using UBD framework • All other curriculum areas • Highlight the verbs in the Frameworks / SLEs • Be sure that learning objectives align to level of complexity (Bloom’s) • Use current frameworks documents to develop units/lessons using UBD framework

46. Next Steps Alignment documents will be loaded into the TRIAND online system; training will be provided to learn to access all online curriculum resources including SLEs w/objectives, pacing, essential vocabulary, task analysis, materials/resources aligned to pacing, interventions and extensions.
