• Be realis*c. Priori*se targets that you can really work on rather than too many that will be impossible to implement and monitor.
• Targets should be informed by areas for development iden*fied from making judgments based on analysed evidence.
• Ensure targets are SMART. A target is achievable and realis*c only when you can say how it’s going to be achieved (ac*on) in your school, for your students
• Avoid confusing ac*ons with targets. • Targets usually relate to Learner Outcomes. • Ac*ons relate to learning experiences and teachers’ prac*ce
Target SeKng

AcEvity
Targets are measures or indicators of what an individual school wants to achieve in terms of school improvement

Key Messages
• The purpose for wri*ng needs to be authen*c
• The types of wri*ng we want students to do in our class should be explicitly taught, according to the wri*ng demands of our subject
• Real wri*ng tasks are those which involve the students thinking and making meaning for themselves
![Page 13: Forbairt - PDST · Commentsfrom ChiefExaminers’) Reports)2012)U)2013) Biology: Thereis evidence&in&the& answering&of&many& candidates&of&shallow,& uncri*cal&learning& Art:)Candidates](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071014/5fcc4e8dc35d3d2ddb0b465e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

• Good wri*ng skills enhance cri*cal thinking and higher order ques*oning skills
• Wri*ng creates a par*cular understanding of topic content and key terminology
• Wri*ng helps us to sustain and order thought, clarifying ideas
• Students need vocabulary, expression and organisa*onal control to cope with the cogni*ve demands of their subjects
• Good literacy raises aZainment in all subjects
Good WriEng Skills Improve all Subject Skills

Comments from Chief Examiners’ Reports 2012 -‐ 2013
Biology: There is evidence in the answering of many candidates of shallow, uncri*cal learning
Art: Candidates should avoid the use of schema*c or stock answers in the wriZen examina*on in favour of developing good understanding and a personal response supported by evidence
ConstrucEon Studies: Make sure, par*cularly at Higher Level, that the higher-‐order conceptual skills of analysis, design, synthesis and evalua*on are expressed in the folio
Geography: Encourage students to develop their responses beyond simple statements through explana*ons, descrip*ons and the use of examples
![Page 16: Forbairt - PDST · Commentsfrom ChiefExaminers’) Reports)2012)U)2013) Biology: Thereis evidence&in&the& answering&of&many& candidates&of&shallow,& uncri*cal&learning& Art:)Candidates](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071014/5fcc4e8dc35d3d2ddb0b465e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

“The idea is not that content-‐area teachers should become reading and wri*ng teachers, but rather that they should emphasize the reading and wri*ng prac*ces that are specific to their subjects, so students are encouraged to read and write like historians, scien*sts, mathema*cians, and other subject-‐area experts.” (Biancarosa & Snow, 2004)
Can you read and write like a (historian)?

“The unique roles of teachers of the language arts, English and EAL are clear. What also needs to be clarified is the responsibility of all other staff to
support the students as they journey from subject to subject trying to build their independent wri*ng capacity”

• The quality of our students' wri*ng will improve only when we regularly discuss, create, and share success criteria with them
• Learning to write well involves learning to choose which details should be included based on which ones will enhance readers’ experience and convey writer’s inten*on (Olness, 2005)

Stage One: Building Knowledge of the Topic
The aim here is to build up background knowledge so focus is primarily on content and the academic language required for the task This stage involves the processes of planning and transla*ng, involving strategies that use speaking, listening, reading, research, note taking skills, brainstorming, ac*va*on of prior knowledge, etc.

• Students give sugges*ons / contribute ideas while the teacher scribes, and together the teacher and students discuss how the wri*ng can be improved
• Teacher and students discuss the structure, more appropriate vocabulary, consider alterna*ve ways of wording and focus on language accuracy

• As students write, remind them about the process of wri*ng, first draj, self-‐edi*ng, feedback, redrajing, final text
• Students write a first draj and proof read / check it with their partner
• Final draj is wriZen for an audience (publish / present)
