#4 Pre-planning Utilizing a Backward Design Framework

Teacher: Unit Anticipation

Guide for students: texts and tasks are correlated to

SFL outcomes; assignments and topics

identified as formative or summative.

#5.Utilization of Rubrics and Exemplars:ECLCHS

Teachers use a variety of rubrics to provide relevant, meaningful and ongoing feedback to students on

formative tasks

#5.Utilization of Rubrics and Exemplars:ECLCHS

Students have opportunities to gauge their own learning, assess their relative

strengths and weaknesses, and develop strategies for achieving their learning

goals.

Math Activity: surface area –

students calculate area required for a “skin graft”

#6. Introduction of New Knowledge: ECLCHS

- With a deaf or hard of hearing student there are always situations that arise which require the learning of new vocabulary in the way of signs. Time is taken out of the student’s day to introduce the new vocabulary through the use of a sign language dictionary as well as software.- There may also be situations when there is not a sign for a particular word. In these instances the transliterator and the student may choose to create a sign following the principles of Signing Exact English. Doing this with the student helps ensure that they will be able to make connections to 'parallel' knowledge or make some personal connection to the outcome.

Student presentations were

peer evaluated according to project

outcomes

Ecole Secondaire Lacombe Composite High School: #8 Experimenting/Problem Solving/Hypothesis Building

Building Systems and Design classes collaborated to have students build structures designed by their peers.

Clearly Defined Outcomes: Student can explain, in their own words, the expected outcome to another student, a parent or to the teacher.

#10 Formative Assessment

Teacher:

Science 30 Study Guide:

concepts & outcomes

are identified

and contextualized; students can also see what types of questions

will be asked for each unit outcome.

Ecole Secondaire Lacombe Composite High School:

#10 Formative AssessmentAssessment scale for formative

tasks. Students have

their own copy of the scale and receive a

score out of 5 in each relevant

category. Categories to be assessed are identified

prior to submission.

#11. Remediation and Pyramids of Intervention: ECLCHS

School and classroom policies reflect the goal of addressing student activity

in order to support choices that are conducive to success in the classroom

and toward graduation.

#11. Remediation and Pyramids of Intervention: ECLCHS
