Powerful Teaching and Learning• New Schools Project Design Principle• Tempting to move too quickly to “How do
we do it?” (Defining, Limiting)
• Critical to examine “Why do we do it?”• Tension between consistency and closure
(SOLO Taxonomy)• Conceptual Frameworks• Social Constructivism (NCNSP Rubrics)

Seminar: Threshold Concepts
•Read “An Introduction to Threshold Concepts” by Glynis Cousin.•Make notes in the margin, underline

Conceptual Approaches to Powerful Teaching and Learning• Threshold Concepts (Cousin article)• Enduring Understandings (Wiggins &
McTighe)• Big Ideas (CECHS)• Big Rock Concepts (Video – PD360)

What knowledge and skills will students be learning?
What evidence will be gathered and used to ensure that students have learned?
What experiences will ensure that students learn?

Tools to Support Powerful Teaching and Learning• Curriculum/Content: NCSCOS, unpacking
the Core Curriculum, Curriculum Maps• Assessment: Table of Specifications,
NCDPI Formative Assessment Plan, Rubrics, Classroom Assessments• Instruction: CECHS lesson plan format,
plans for differentiation, CECHS Big Ideas plan

Designing Learning Targets• Consider how to translate the standard at multiple levels NCSCOS Standard
Big Idea Learning Targets• Consider what students will know, understand, and do
(Strickland, 2010).• Consider the amount/type of learning targets you will need to
comprehensively address the standard.• Learning targets will become increasingly sophisticated and complex.

FALCON Learning TargetsLearning targets are….
• subparts of the objective.• measurable achievement
expectations (what students should know and be able to do in 1-2 lessons).• written in student friendly
language.
Developing Learning Targets
• Select the standard or objective.• Identify the essential
parts you want students to learn.• These essential parts are
your learning targets.

FALCON Criteria for SuccessCriteria for success…
• Identify what student need to do during the learning process to meet the learning target. • Provide an
understanding of what quality work looks like.• Help teachers identify
and address gaps in learning.
Defining Criteria for Success
• Identify the expected learning outcomes of the target.
• Write each expected outcome as an “I will…” statement because together these statements are the criteria for success students will practice during the lesson process.

Criteria for Success
• There is not a perfect set of criteria for success.• It is important to understand what you want
student to be able to do.• During the lesson, the criteria must be shared
with the students.• Curriculum may be a helpful guide (Reading
example).• Criteria for success help with designing
evaluation tools.

Application/Next Steps
• As you prepare your lesson plans between now and March 21, concentrate on creating learning targets. • Share your targets with colleagues and ask for
feedback.• Share targets with students; seek feedback
about clarity.• Bring examples of learning targets to March 21
session.• Bring questions, too!
