◦Task 2: Student Expectations

◦Task 3: Evidence of Learning

◦Task 4: Planning for Learning

◦Task 5: Planning for Learning Part 2

Campus Collaboration: 12:45-2:15 pm

Task 1: Celebrations and Logistics

◦ One speaker at a time

◦ Share a moment from the end of last school year or this summer that you would like to celebrate with your peers.

◦ Assign one team member as time keeper and one to control computer and type in lesson plan.

Campus Collaboration: 12:45-12:55 pm

Task 2: Student Expectations

◦ Identify one student expectation (or standard for the course you teach) in the first six-weeks that you predict students will struggle with.

◦ What criteria did you use to select the student expectation?

◦ Examine the Standard Clarification, if available, and discuss the cognitive rigor, content, and context of the SE.

◦ It is possible that the SE you select will not have a clarifying document. In this case, examine the SE to determine the cognitive rigor, content, and context.

What do students need to know and be able to do?

Campus Collaboration: 12:55-1:05 pm

Task 3: Evidence of Learning

Locate or create an assessment item that will allow students to demonstrate evidence of their learning.

Discuss the item and how it will be an effective measurement of student learning in regards to this specific SE.

Discuss indicators you will use to rate student performance.

How will we know when they have learned it?

Campus Collaboration: 1:05-1:25 pm

Task 4: Planning for Learning

Utilize the Share My Lesson Planner feature within Forethought to collaboratively design a lesson.

One team member can type the lesson plan into Forethought. Share that planner with other team members so they can copy into their own planners.

Use the Quality Lesson Plan Rubric as a guide to ensure deep alignment to the standard.

Campus Collaboration: 1:25-1:50 pm
