WE BELIEVEIn equitable, personalized, rigorous learning for all students leading to readiness for college, careers, and citizenship

That schools must simultaneously attend to policy, practice, and community engagement

School improvement is context-based, not one-size fits all

Elements of Effective Instruction

This work by Great Schools Partnership is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

When students are engaged they are curious about and invested in their learning. Engaged learners can explain the relevance and importance of their work and their learning improves as a result. Student engagement is not only an outcome of effective instruction but a driver of deep learning. It results from the weaving together of the Elements of Effective Instruction by skillful teachers in ways that promote and facilitate student ownership and choice.

The Elements of Effective Instruction are not established one by one but rather intertwined traits that support and rely on each other. These traits evolve and are incorporated to varying degrees throughout the cycle of learning to foster student engagement. As illustrated, a productive and safe learning environment is foundational to student learning. This environment is fostered and strengthened by clear, shared outcomes, a variety of content, materials, and methods, and ongoing practice and feedback. When learning experiences require complex thinking and the transfer of knowledge and skills, students become fully engaged in meaningful learning that lasts.

Self-assessment tool

Elements of Effective Instruction Self-Assessment Tool Purpose of the Self-assessment Tool:

To propose key components of personalized instruction Participants conduct a self-check and orient themselves to learning opportunities in their future Teams conduct a collective team-check, then plan to learn broadly and strategically on behalf of school-wide capacity

How we recommend you use the Self-assessment Tool: This self-assessment is intended to help you and your colleagues reflect -- honestly and deeply -- on the essential components and practices to support competency-based learning. Take this opportunity to assess your areas of strength and your areas of need. Please also compare notes with members of your team, so that you may be strategic about planning for your collective approach to all of your learning opportunities that lie ahead. Not a classroom teacher? Choose your lens: School administrators and other non-teaching staff should consider adopting a lens with which to utilize this tool. Our recommendations are

Complete the self-assessment on behalf of a teacher of your choosing (perhaps someone whose professional goals you will be supporting in the coming year);

Complete the self-assessment with a school’s entire faculty in mind; Complete the self­assessment for yourself, in terms of your strengths and areas of need related to observing, supporting or

evaluating these characteristics; Or, your own defined lens.

See p. 2 to begin the self-assessment ↓

Self-assessment tool

Element 1: Learning Environment The classroom learning environment supports learning for all students. The physical environment, routines and procedures, classroom management practices and the development of positive relationships support a physically and socially/emotionally safe and supportive environment for taking risks, asking questions and making mistakes.

about Somewhat

true Perfecting &

Adjusting Reflections, recent anecdotes, currently working on...

Does my classroom have clear routines and procedures? Do students know what is expected, when and why?

Does every student feel safe and supported in this classroom? Are they willing to take risks? Is it ok to be wrong or to fail at something?

Are my students involved, invested and interested in the tasks they do? Do I create opportunities for them to reflect on themselves as learners?

Are there positive relationships between my students and me? Do my students have opportunities to build relationships with each other, and the support to do so?

Is my classroom arranged to support a variety of different learning tasks and different learners? Is my classroom configured in different ways that best fit the task at hand?

Overall Self-Assessment for Learning Environment Add reflective questions for yourself here. What do you most want to work on? What are you hoping to shift in your practice?
