K-W-L (I Know-I Want to know-I Learned)The•Know-Want•to•Know-Learned•strategy•(Ogle,•1986)•is•linked•to•the•before,•during,•and•after•framework.•KWL•is•a•generative•strategy•that•structures•thinking•processes.•

The•“Know”•column•prompts•students•to•activate•and•inventory•prior•knowledge.•It•can•be•completed•individually•or•collaboratively.

The•“Want•to•know”•column•prompts•students•to•generate•inquiry•questions•that•provide•a•purpose•for•reading.•This•provides•an•opportunity•to•anticipate•learning,•to•focus•on•inquiry•as•a•habit•of•mind,•and•to•learn•about•and•practise•posing•effective•questions.•Learning•about•questions•can•be•scaffolded,•e.g.,•by•working•with•the•categories•of•Bloom’s•taxonomy•or•by•providing•question•words,•question•prompts,•or•a•question•matrix.•These•scaffolds•could•be•posted•in•the•classroom•as•anchor•charts.•

The•“Learned”•column•prompts•students•to•summarize•and•consolidate•their•learning.•K-W-L’s•can•be•completed•individually•or•collaboratively.

K-W-L•Variations•include:••• reconfiguring•the•usual•3-column•organizer•as•a•3-part•square,•with•“Know”•across•the•top•and•“Want•to•Know”•

and•“Learned”•juxtaposed•beneath•• adding•columns,•e.g.,•“Future”•(“How•I•will•apply•this•learning•in•the•future”).

Link•to•prior•learning•by•connecting•the•activity•in•today’s•lesson•to•previous•use•of•the•K-W-L•strategy.•Doing•so•explicitly•helps•students•recognize•how•the•thinking•structure•in•the•strategy•transfers•to•other•situations,•a•critical•aspect•of•becoming•a•self-directed•and•self-regulated•learner.•

The•K-W-L•strategy•reflects•key•Literacy•GAINS•parameters,•e.g.,•exposing•and•evoking•students’•thinking•in•order•to•respond•with•appropriate•levels•of•challenge•and•support.•The•strategy•also•supports•an•inclusive•classroom•environment•and•differentiated•instruction•by•permitting•a•range•of•access,•or•entry•points•for•students•along•a•continuum•of•difficulty,•depending•on•the•questions•asked.•

Anchor ChartAn•anchor•chart•summarizes•and•displays•for•reference•essential•information•on•fundamental•topics,•e.g.,•strategies•for•active•listening,•collaborative•learning•skills,•audience•and•performer•behaviours.• •

Because•an•anchor•chart•is•a•strategy•for•capturing•students’•voices•and•thinking,•it•is•co-constructed•by•the•teacher•and•students.•By•making•students’•thinking•visible•and•public,•anchor•charts•“anchor,”•or•stabilize•and•scaffold•classroom•learning.•Anchor•charts•should•be•developmentally•appropriate•and•clearly•focused,•accessible,•and•organized.

Shared ReadingIn•primary•grades,•shared•reading•is•an•approach•in•which•the•teacher•and•students•collaboratively•read•aloud•a•text.•Usually•the•text•is•enlarged•and•visible•to•all•students,•and•the•teacher•models•reading•and•thinking•aloud•with•input•from•students.•This•approach•can•be•adapted•to•smaller•groups•and•to•older•readers.•Shared•reading•transitions•students•from•teacher•modeling•to•guided•and•independent•practice.•See•Strategy Implementation Continuum.•

Growing•Success•underlines•the•importance•of•self-assessment•in•the•classroom:“The•emphasis•on•student•self-assessment•represents•a•fundamental•shift•in•the•teacher-student•relationship,•placing•the•primary•responsibility•for•learning•with•the•student.•Once•students,•with•the•ongoing•support•of•the•teacher,•have•learned•to•recognize,•describe,•and•apply•success•criteria•related•to•particular•learning•goals,•they•can•use•this•information•to•assess•their•own•and•others’•learning.•Teachers•help•students•develop•their•self-assessment•skills•by•modelling•the•application•of•success•criteria•and•the•provision•of•descriptive•feedback,•by•planning•multiple•opportunities•for•peer•assessment•and••self-assessment,•and•by•providing•descriptive•feedback•to•students•about•the•quality•of•their•feedback•to•peers.”•(p.•35)

The•Self-Assessment•Checklist•can•also•be•used•as•an•advanced•organizer•or•for•goal-setting,•and•in•tandem•with•the•Reflection•Log•as•prompts•for•reflection.•

The•Self-Assessment•Checklist•and/or•Reflection•Log•are•submitted•as•an•Exit•Card•at•the•end•of•the•lesson.•

Assessment as Learning “Teachers•engage•in•assessment•as•learning•by•helping•all•students•develop•their•capacity•to•be•independent,•autonomous•learners•who•are•able•to•set•individual•goals,•monitor•their•own•progress,•determine•next•steps,•and•reflect•on•their•thinking•and•learning.”(Growing Success,•p.•28)
