Unpacking the Student Expectations Let’s Break It Down…

Unpacking Student Expectations (2) The Students uses verbal and non verbal communication skills. The student is expected to: (A) listen actively and effectively in group discussions; (B) use a variety of resources to access, process, and collect data relevant to the project; and (c) document the time and cost to accomplish the project goal. Essentially, students need to VERB some CONTENT

Now It’s Your Turn! Start by Verb-ing your TEKS (A) Apply interpersonal communication skills in business and industry settings. Apply communication skills business and industry settings 1. The student demonstrates professional standards/ employability skills as required by business and industry.

Learning Objective (Mini-Lesson Topics) Now that you have identified the Student Expectations What are the Instructional Objectives that are specific, measurable, short-term, observable student behaviors in support of the SE? You might call them mini lessons of part of a larger unit. An objective is a description of a performance you want learners to be able to exhibit before you can consider them successful or competent. An objective describes an intended result of instruction, rather than the process on teaching or instruction itself.

Three Parts of Student-Centered Learning Objectives 1. Behavior - What will the learner be able to do? 2. Condition – What materials, tools, or resources will the learner use to accomplish the behavior? 3. Criteria – What specifications must be the learner fulfill in order to consider the objective successfully met?

Learning Objectives are NOT… An agenda or a schedule A description of an activity or resource A title of a book, film, story etc. A description of the vehicle or method to teach a concept Too broad or vague Disguised as an objective but really a description of what the TEACHER is going to teach rather than of what the STUDENT is expected to KNOW AND BE ABLE TO DO and LEARN

Learning Objectives ARE… Answers to the questions “what are the STUDENTS EXPECTED TO KNOW AND BE ABLE TO DO? ” Consistent with the standards (the TEKS) Understandable to parent and to students Specific Measurable Something students can demonstrate that they have learned the objective in a reasonable amount of time (usually one of two class periods as you “chunk” the learning) even if the unit goes for an extended period

Your Turn Again! (A) Apply interpersonal communication skills in business and industry settings. Apply communication skills business and industry settings 1. The student demonstrates professional standards/ employability skills as required by business and industry. What actions or activities will student do? What materials and resources will student use? How will you measure student success?

Turning Student Expectations into Learning Objectives Find a Thinking Partner No! That was a Thinking Partner!

Writing a Learning Objective (or mini lessons) Based on your SE’s, think of activities and behaviors students could do.

Writing a Learning Objective (or mini lessons) What materials, tools, or resources will they need?

Writing a Learning Objective (or mini lessons) How will you measure student success?

Writing a Learning Objective (or mini lessons)

Learning Objectives Things Is to think about as you are writing there a clear objective that creates an image of specifically what students will know and be able to do? What do I want students to know and be able to do when the lesson is over? How will I measure progress? Is the level of difficulty appropriately rigorous and challenging? Is the language of the objective a good fit for the content and “kid-friendly”?

Evaluate your partner’s objectives using the Glow and Grow feedback protocol 1. Identify who is Partner A and who is Partner B 2. Both partners look at Partner A’s objectives. Partner A will stay totally silent while Partner B says: o This part of your objective GLOWS (and shares the positive features) o There is room to GROW in this part of your objective (and shares any confusion or areas that need clarification. ) o After Partner B gives feedback, Partner A can address any confusion and explain any thoughts or questions they had while designing the objectives. o Switch places and repeat. Let’s practice…
