Session 2: Guiding Questions

1. Session 2: Guiding Questions • How do we design data-driven instruction to meet the needs of all learners? I, II, III, IV, V Focus: Preparing for Classroom Instruction How will we know if they learned it? How will we respond when they don’t learn it? How will we respond when they already know it? (2009) Raising the Bar and Closing the Gap: Whatever it Takes

2. Guiding Questions for Data Literacy • What is the learning target? • What are the criteria for success for the target? • What decisions do you need to make about the learning? • Does the evidence collected from the student(s) meet the criteria for success? • Is additional evidence needed (e.g., interview the student(s), etc.)? • What method will you use to provide feedback to the student(s) about the learning? • How will you provide opportunities for student(s) to use the feedback? • How will you modify your instruction to close any learning gaps that exist or enhance learning?

3. Formative Assessment Model

4. The Needs of Seeds Using Formative Assessment Probes • Choose a probe • Give to students • Use data to plan • What do you see?

6. What are Formative Assessment Probes? • NSTA Publication • Formative assessment probes were developed using the CTS process. • Link key ideas in the standards to common misconceptions cited in research.

7. Curriculum Topic Study and NC Professional Teaching Standards

8. Resources for CTS …Experts at Your Fingertips 24/7     Indicates the resource or parts of it are online

9. Additional Resources… A Framework for K-12 Science Education Science College Board Standards for College Success

10. Why Use Formative Assessment Probes? • Assessment for learning not assessment of learning • Reveal the types of ideas your student have about common science concepts • Examine student thinking for the purpose of informing teaching and learning

11. Types of Probes • Justified List • Prediction • Familiar Phenomena • Friendly Talk

12. Example: Justified List Probe Keeley, P., Eberle, F. and Tugel, J. (2007). Uncovering student ideas in science (Vol.2) -25 more formative assessment probes. Arlington, VA: NSTA Press.

13. Example:Friendly Talk Probe Keeley, P.(2011). Uncovering student ideas in life science-25 new formative assessment probes. Arlington, VA: NSTA Press.

14. Example:Familiar PhenomenaProbe Keeley, P., Eberle, F. and Tugel, J. (2007). Uncovering student ideas in science (Vol.2) -25 more formative assessment probes. Arlington, VA: NSTA Press.

15. Example:Prediction Probe Keeley, P., Eberle, F. and Dorsey, C. (2008). Uncovering student ideas in science(Vol.3)-another 25 formative assessment probes. Arlington, VA: NSTA Press.

28. Resource Activity: Exploring New Resources • Use the objective you selected this morning. • Use one or more of the resource sites. • Locate educational materials that support teaching this objective.

29. Designing Data Driven Instruction: Learning Targets&Learning Pathway

30. Designing Data Driven Instruction • Select the standard and objective. • Collect resources for teaching and assessing the objective. • Perform pre-assessment using a two-tiered prototype or probe. • Adjust the learning pathway based on pre-assessment data and support documents.

31. Case Study: Data Driven Instruction

32. UniversalDesignfor Learning (UDL) is Universal Design for Learning (UDL) A set of principles for curriculum development that applies to the general education curriculum to promote learning environments that meet the needs of all learners.

33. Principle I:Multiple Means of Representation The what of learning • To give diverse learners options for acquiring information and knowledge • Present content in a variety of formats and modalities

34. Multiple Means of Representation • Artifacts • Videos • Music • Movement • Text Readers • Manipulatives • Visual Displays • Anticipatory Guides • Graphic Organizers

35. Principle II:Multiple Means of Action and Expression Judy Augatti

36. Multiple Means of Action and Expression • Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down • Gallery Walks • Pair/Share • Chalkboard/Whiteboard Splash • Response Hold-Up Cards • Quick Draws • Numbered Heads Together • Line-Ups

37. Principle III:Multiple Means of Engagement Taps into learners’ interests, offers appropriate challenges, and increases

38. Multiple Means of Engagement • Bounce Cards • Air Writing • Case Studies • Role Plays • Concept Charades • Response Hold-Up Cards • Networking Sessions • Simulations C B A D C

39. UDL means more students are: • Engaged • Learning • Achieving • Motivated

40. Reflection • Jot down two ideas from your collected resources that address UDL (the “what”, “how” and “why”). • Turn to a neighbor and briefly discuss how UDL will impact your work in planning instruction.

41. Differentiated Instruction

42. Multiple Means of Representation for ELLs Non-verbal Language Support Word banks Word walls Labels Graphic organizers Sentence starters Sentence frames • Modeling • Pictures • Realia/Concrete objects • Gestures • Manipulatives • Demonstrations • Hands-on • Picture dictionaries

43. Multiple Means of Expressing for ELLs • Role-play • Illustrations/ Drawings / Visuals • Gestures • First language

44. Multiple Means of Engagement • Student Interaction • Oral comprehension supports reading and writing development • Differentiate Collaborative Activities

45. Differentiated Instruction

46. What do gifted learners need in order to maximize their learning?

47. Learning Needs of Gifted:Some, Not All • Complexity: Abstract-thinking, Variety of concepts, subjects and strategies • Depth: Higher levels of thinking, concepts • Creativity: Open-endedness, choice • Acceleration: Rapid pacing, Focus on Growth • Relevance: Personal interest, Real-world problems and audiences, Connections

48. What does this mean for my classroom? • Enrich, extend and accelerate the SCOS. • Differentiate through content, process and product.

49. Tools and Strategies for Challenging Gifted Learners • Concept-Based Teaching • Tiered Assignments • Project-Based Learning • Curriculum Compacting • Independent Study with Rubrics • Seminars All with appropriate challenge!

50. Reflection In groups of 2-3, share a strategy you have used or will use in order to support differentiated instruction.
