Curriculum Instruction + AssessmentEffective Instruction

Where is the starting point?
For effective assessment you need to clarify the
LEARNING TARGET

Today’s Learning Targets
• I can deconstruct content expectations and turn them into student friendly language. Which means I can find the verb and determine what kind of learning target is needed.
• I can make my teaching more intentional and effective. Which means I will use learning targets to guide my curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
![Page 8: Curriculum and Instruction Learning Targets](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555a371bd8b42ae1398b474c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It is hard to hit a target if you can’t see it!

What is intended learning?
The Learning Target
The learning target may also be called:• Content standards• Benchmarks• Grade level expectations• Learning outcomes• Lesson objectives• Learning statements• Essential learning
![Page 10: Curriculum and Instruction Learning Targets](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555a371bd8b42ae1398b474c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
All the synonyms represent:
The Learning Statements or
Statements of Intended Learning
![Page 11: Curriculum and Instruction Learning Targets](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555a371bd8b42ae1398b474c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Point!
• If we don’t begin with clear statements of intended learning, we won’t end with sound assessments.
![Page 12: Curriculum and Instruction Learning Targets](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555a371bd8b42ae1398b474c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Key
The key to improving student achievement is not looking at how to assess, but focusing instead on WHAT to assess.
![Page 13: Curriculum and Instruction Learning Targets](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555a371bd8b42ae1398b474c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How ?
• We should examine whether or not our assessment reflect clear and important learning targets.
• Learning targets are further broken down into sub-targets.
![Page 14: Curriculum and Instruction Learning Targets](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555a371bd8b42ae1398b474c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Intentional Teaching
1. Determine our learning targets and define how we should assess them.
2. Plan clear instruction and experiences
3. Combine them to prepare students to know what they need to know and demonstrate their learning.

Intentional Teaching
Means:
All instruction and classroom activities are aimed at specific
learning targets.

5 Research-Based Strategies that Significantly Improve Student
Learning:1. Sharing Criteria (the target)– Clear learning objectives with success criteria
2. Questioning3. Feedback4. Peer Assessment5. Self-assessment
![Page 17: Curriculum and Instruction Learning Targets](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555a371bd8b42ae1398b474c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Teacher Benefits• Know what to assess
– Select appropriate assessments
• Clarity on what instructional activities to plan– Intentional teaching
• Ability to balance “in Depth” with “Coverage”– Knowing your content expectations vs book
• Know What your assessments reflect at a finer grain– Reflects exactly what you will teach and students will learn– Able to use assessments to further learning

Student Benefits• “Students can hit any target they can see that
hold still for them” (Stiggins)
• Teachers explain intended learning in student-friendly terms at the outset of a lesson
• Students write “I can” statements of intended learning
• Statements are posted

Parent Benefit
• Learning targets can be sent home or posted on website
• Learning targets are already in parent friendly language
• Parents know what and how to help their child
• Understand grades better

What Does This Look Like?
7th grade- making good inference
1. Define the word. The dictionary works well as a starting point, Inference: A conclusion drawn from the information available.
2. Student-friendly language: “I can make good inferences. This means I can use information from what I read to draw a reasonable conclusion.”

Five Learning Targets
• To build clear learning targets we need to understand that there are actually five kinds of learning targets.
1. Knowledge- facts and concepts we want students to know
2. Reasoning – use what they know reason or solve problems
3. Skills- use knowledge and reasoning to act skillfully
4. Products- use knowledge, reasoning, and skills to create a concrete product
5. Disposition- attitudes about school and learning

Students who can identify what they are learning significantly outscore those who cannot.

“Teachers who truly understand what they want their students to accomplish will almost surely be more instructionally successful than teachers whose understanding of hoped-for student accomplishments are murky.”
• W. James Popham
