  4. Warm-up: Name that TIF Category! • It’s a quiz! • Match each activity example to one of the TIF categories… • Effective Communication • Self-Management • Critical Thinking ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  5. Who is the ideal ACES practitioner? • The ideal ACES practitioner • knows about… • knows how to… • is committed to… • Read the compiled notes. • Do you have anything to add? Insights? Comments? • Raise your hand… What should we add to our list from last time? ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  6. Transitions Integration Framework Outside Task #1 - Sharing • Briefly share your observations about your student. • Which skills did you see him/her demonstrate? • Which skills from your TIF category will he/she need to develop further? • How can you provide this practice? ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  7. How do you know it’s working? • Evidence of Student Learning is the observable student demonstration of skill and knowledge development • For example: a student completes a Venn Diagram comparing current technology with that of the early 1900s. You have ‘evidence’ that the student knows about technology in both eras and understands how to compare and contrast. ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  8. Finding Evidence of Student Learning • Open a new tab in your web browser. • Access the video: Link: http://www.mlots.org/?page_id=133 • Watch the first 12 to 13 minutes of the video. • Note evidence of student learning on the grid (handout p. 21) as well as what you observe that is NOT evidence. • Return to the webinar in 15 minutes • Be prepared to chat with your PLC Partner about your observations. ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  9. Chat with your PLC Partner… • What evidence of student learning did you observe in the video? • What did you observe that was NOT evidence of student learning? • What ‘evidence’ can you use to evaluate your TIF-ed lessons? • What are ways to improve our evaluation of TIF-ed lessons by using student evidence? • Share with the larger group Share out with the Group… ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  10. Taking our TIF Temperature! How did your TIF-edlesson go? • Totally hot! • Got hotter than I thought! • Not so hot… • Needed my parka… ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  11. TIF-ed Lesson: Try it Out! – Outside Task #2 • Briefly share your TIF-ed Lesson experience. • Identify your category and give a brief description of your lesson, including the TIF skills you addressed. • What was the highlight of the lesson? • What ‘evidence’ of student learning did you observe? ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  12. TIF-ing the Classroom! What are some ways that TIF skills can be integrated into an instructional setting regardless of lesson content? ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  13. TIF-ing the Classroom:Definitions of TIF-ing Methods • Routines: a sequence of actions regularly followed; a routine process • Norms: standards of acceptable behavior; expectations within a specified context • Learning Task Formats: routine structures for activities and tasks that provide practice of lesson content • Language:vocabularyand language structuresthat are necessary to effectively address a specified TIF skill • Technology: technology use that mirrors what is necessary in the “target” environment. ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  14. Which TIF-ing method is which? • TIF-ing methods can be labeled in more than one way: • Expecting students to email assignments is both technologyand a norm. • Expecting students to speak courteously is a norm but when you highlight the language structures (e.g. Could/can/may I…), it is also a language method. • The important thing is that all of these methods reinforce TIF skills consistently and authenticallyregardless of lesson content. ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  15. TIF-ing the Classroom: Examples Look at each example. Consider the following Qs and take notes on handout p. 24. • Which TIF skills does it address from your category? • How could you complement it with additional skills? Is this a routine, norm, learning task format, technology, or language?? • What example of your own could you share? ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  16. Which TIF method is it? Routine!! Example: Time Cards: • Create individual timecards for learners. • You may choose to alphabetize them in a card file or accordion file. • For each date, learners will write in the TIME they enter the class (you can take this opportunity to work on rounding to the nearest 15 minutes) and when they exit. • When learners enter late or leave early, take the time to pause your lesson to remind them to sign in or out on their time card (until the procedure becomes automatic). • Later, these time cards can be used to add up attendance hours for math lessons, for “pay checks”, and to compare to student hours in the database. ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  17. Which TIF method is it? Norm!! • Example: Teamwork • Working with a team is an important part of education and the workplace. In this class, you will often be required to work in a team. It is important that you take responsibility for your role in the team and complete the tasks you agree to do. It is also important to participate in the group discussions, giving your input in a positive and constructive way. ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  18. Which TIF method is it? Technology!! & ? Example: Tracking Test Scores: • Students will create a chart on excel. • After students take a test, they will record their scores on the chart. • Students can set a goal for their next test score and write it on the chart. • After recording their subsequent test score, they can check to see if they met their goal and reflect on ways they could meet it if they did not or set a new goal if they did meet it. • Once several scores for a particular test are recorded, students can graph their scores using the excel graphing function. • Students can analyze this data, calculating increases and decreases and reflecting on how other factors (such as attendance and time spent on homework) impacted or may impact their results. • Students can set new goals for scores and study habits based on this analysis.. ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  19. Which TIF method is it? Language!! & ? Example: Using Polite Language and Tone • It is an expectation in this class that we treat each other with respect and courtesy. One way to show respect is to make requests using polite language and tone. When you need help or simply want to get clarification, using the following phrases is the courteous way to achieve this: • I would like... --Instead of -- I want/need… • Could you…/Can you… --Instead of -- Give me… • Could I…/May I… --Instead of -- I’m going to… ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  20. Which TIF method is it? Learning Task Format!! Note: As a class create 3 questions and 4 options to go with each and fill in the survey template. Example: Survey Template-Oral Ask your classmates the questions. Put a tally (/) in the correct box. ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

  21. Coming up!! Outside Task #3/PLC 3: TIF-ing The Classroom • Using the matching activity and our discussion, consider which TIF-ing method you can integrate into your setting and which TIF skill(s) it addresses. • Implement one TIF-method into your classroom before meeting 3 • Evaluate how it’s going by gathering ‘student evidence.’ • Share your experience with your PLC Partner!
