Learning Objectives • Define KUD • Explain that a KUD statement is essential for successful teaching and learning • Distinguish the K from the U and from the D • Write a KUD statement for my content area

Today’s Agenda • Presentation on what is and why KUD and how it connects to WALT, TIB & WILF • Assess & review own KUD statements in lesson plans and resources • Assess understanding of KUD

What is Teaching and Learning?

The 5 Principles for Effective Instruction

Effective Instruction…

What is K. U. D?

K (U) D The U: • Learning & Teaching’s Enduring Understandings • Big Ideas (Mc. Tighe & Wiggins, 2006, p. 149) • “Expansive ideas that frame the details”(Kumpost, 2009, p. 1) • Generalizations (Mc. Tighe & Wiggins, 2006, p. 149)

K (U) D “Without understanding there is no durable learning, no retention, no transfer, no capacity to think about content. And without understanding, there is little relevance to curriculum. ” - Carol Tomlinson

(K) U (D) • K + D = L&T’s Essential Outcomes • Includes the information & skills needed to achieve the big idea (Mc. Tighe & Wiggins, 2006, p. 57) • K = Learners need to Know o Facts, Places, People, Dates, Definitions • D = Do o Skills, Behavioral Objectives, Outcomes (Strickland, 2011, p. 15)

What is WALT, TIB, WILF? • WALT - WE ARE LEARNING TO…These are the words used by teacher to relate to student the K component of the lesson plan • WILF - WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR…These are the formative assessments the teachers are looking for through activities related to the D in the lesson plan • TIB - THIS IS BECAUSE…The students should be able to say I UNDERSTAND THAT is our lesson today…. this is related to U of the lesson plan

Sample Unit of Inquiry Central idea: (Big Idea/Generalization/CU) Properties of materials determine how people use them. Lines of Inquiry Properties and characteristics of materials (form) Changes materials go through (change) The use of materials for various purposes (function)

An Example KUD KNOW (WALT) – the use of different materials UNDERSTAND (TIB) – Materials are used in various purposes DO (WILF) – List down the use of some materials OR Group the materials according to their usage Use your yellow hat to write the benefit(s) of some materials

An Example KUD KNOW (WALT) - Definition of verb and subject - How to conjugate verbs UNDERSTAND (TIB) - Understand that language is made up of patterns; if you can recognize the pattern you can make a good guess about the form DO (WILF) - Conjugate verbs to match subject (Example taken from Strickland, 2011, p. 26)

• How do we differentiate teaching and learning? • Read KUD Handout (more examples of KUD and how differentiation can be done) 5 min

KUD

Why is KUD essential for effective T&L? • The KUD ensures: -the learning goal is clear and consistent -all students are led to the same end result or outcome -regardless of the task or activity they are completing -all students receive the same key learning (KUD) • Without a KUD, it is difficult to ensure the differentiated work will lead to the same purposeful goal for all students.

TIPS for Writing KUD

Activity (20 mins) • Individually (10 mins), 1) Select an upcoming lesson plan/ resource 2) Identify the relevant content / standards 3) Improve on the K, U & D component As a team (10 mins), 1) Give feedback to members of your group on their KUD statements 2) Share with other grade levels / subjects

POLICY • In the lesson plans & curriculum documents (for teachers reference) – just write KUD • In teaching resources (what will be shown to students – eg: PPT, written on board) – Reflect the following: • K (WALT) • U (TIB) • D (WILF)
