APS Teacher Evaluation Vision Since 1999 “Arlington Public Schools will provide every student with highly effective educators that have the necessary tools to positively impact student learning and growth.”
Language Objectives • State how students will use language to master the content • Include all four language domains – reading, writing, speaking and listening • Build academic language proficiency • Students need time to practice using all four language domains to develop understanding of the content
Key Questions When Writing language Objectives • Is the objective observable? • How will you assess student mastery? • Are the language objectives focused on the academic languageand/orlanguage processes you expect students to use? • Are the objectives written in student-friendly language? Consider: What are the language demands of the content objective? • Language functions – e.g. define, describe, explain, classify, compare, summarize, sequence • Academic vocabulary– (e.g. discipline-specific, test vocabulary, transition words) • Language structures – (questions, past tense, writing a complete sentence, writing a paragraph) Language Objectives
Example: The Water Cycle - Language Objectives Student will be able to: • Read • Read the text to ask and answer questions to demonstrate comprehension. • Write • Use key vocabulary and transition words to describe the water cycle process. • Speak • Describe the water cycle while viewing a diagram. • Use the key vocabulary in an oral description of the water cycle. • Listen • Listento a partner’s description and assess accuracy. Language Objectives
Content Objectives Content objectives: • are derived from the state content standards • should emphasize the key components of the topic • should be clear, direct, observable and student-friendly • Should build connections to prior background knowledge of key vocabulary and concepts • Students need time to practice using all four language domains to develop understanding of the content
