Research to Practice Lesson Plan Starter

Using SDLMI to Teach Goal Setting and Problem-Solving

Objective: To teach students to set goals, make a plan for achieving them, and adjust their plan as needed.

Setting and Materials:

Settings: General Education Classroom Materials: None

Content Taught Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI) is an instructional process that includes the following:

Instructional Phase 1: What is My Goal? Student Questions

Instructional Phase 2: What is My Plan? Student Questions

Instructional Phase 3: What Have I learned? Student Questions

Teacher Objectives for each Instructional Phase

Teaching Procedures

1. Make appropriate changes to the wording of student questions, based on needs of students.

2. Refer to the teacher objectives to ensure the problem-solving intent of the questions remain intact. For example, changing student question 1 from "What do I want to learn?" to "What is my goal?" changes the nature of the question.

3. Provide students with visual copy of questions for Phase 1. 4. Read the questions with or to the students. 5. Discuss what the questions mean. Possibly rephrase questions if students

struggle with the wording. 6. Direct students to choose a goal they want to work towards. This could be an

academic or functional goal, possibly an IEP goal. 7. Direct students to answer the student questions in Phase 1 based on what goal

they selected to work toward. 8. Once students identify a goal, identify possible goal outcomes for each goal using

a 5-point scale ranging from the most unfavorable possible outcome to the most

Research to Practice Lesson Plan Starter

favorable possible outcome (see example of Goal Attainment Scaling form in evaluation section below).

9. Provide students with visual copy of questions for Phase 2. 10. Read the questions with or to the students. 11. Discuss what the questions mean. Possibly rephrase questions if students

struggle with the wording. 12. Direct students to answer the student questions in Phase 2 based on what goal

they selected to work toward. 13. Provide students with visual copy of questions for Phase 3. 14. Read the questions with or to the students. 15. Discuss what the questions mean. Possibly rephrase questions if students

struggle with the wording. 16. Direct students to answer the student questions in Phase 3 based on how they

answered the questions in Phase 2. 17. When instruction has been completed on all three phases, continue collecting

progress data on the goal students selected to work toward. 18. Complete the GAS scoring form to determine improvement or attainment of

goal. Instructional Phase 1 for Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction

Set a Goal: Problem for Student to Solve: What is my Goal?

Student Questions Teacher Objectives

1) What do I want to learn? Enable students to identify specific strengths and instructional needs.

Enable students to communicate preferences, interests, beliefs, and values.

Teach students to prioritize needs.

2) What do I know about it now? Enable students to identify their current status in relation to the instructional need.

Assist students to gather information about opportunities and barriers in their environments.

3) What must change for me to learn what I don’t know?

Enable students to decide if action will be focused toward capacity building, modifying the environment, or both.

Support students to choose a need to

Research to Practice Lesson Plan Starter

address from prioritized list.

4) What can I do to make this happen?

Teach students to state a goal and identify criteria for achieving goal.

Instructional Phase 2 for Self-Determination Learning Model of Instruction

Take Action: Problem for Students to Solve: What is my Plan?

Student Questions Teacher Objectives

5) What can I do to learn what I don’t know?

Enable student to self-evaluate current status and self-identified goal status.

6) What could keep me from taking action?

Enable student to determine plan of action to bridge gap between self-evaluated current status and self-identified goal status.

7) What can I do to remove these barriers?

Collaborate with student to identify most appropriate instructional strategies.

Teach student needed student-directed learning strategies.

Support student to implement student-directed learning strategies.

Provide mutually agreed upon teacher-directed instruction.

8) When will I take action? Enable student to determine schedule for action plan.

Enable student to implement action plan.

Enable student to self-monitor progress.

Instructional Phase 3 for Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction

Adjust Goal or Plan: Problem for Student to Solve: What have I Learned?

Student Questions Teacher Objectives

9) What actions have I taken? Enable student to self-evaluate progress toward goal achievement.

10) What barriers have been removed?

Collaborate with student to compare progress with desired outcomes.

11) What has changed about what I Support student to reevaluate goal if

Research to Practice Lesson Plan Starter

don’t know? progress is insufficient.

Assist student to decide if goal remains the same or changes.

Collaborate with student to identify if action plan is adequate or inadequate given revised or retained goal.

Assist student to change action plan if necessary.

o Not identified (n=5)

What is the practice?

The Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI) is a curriculum that teaches students to engage in self-directed and self-regulated learning. The curriculum is comprised of three units:

1. Set a goal

2. Take action

SDLMI to Teach Goal Setting and Problem Solving (Coffe & Ray-Subramanian, 2009;

Wehymeyer & Palmer, 2000)

3. Adjust goal or plan

Students are required to solve the problems through a series of four steps: 1. Identify the problem

2. Identify potential solutions to the problem

3. Identify barriers to solving the problem

4. Identify consequences of each solution

Each question is linked to a set of Teacher Objectives that describe the student outcomes for each question. Each phase includes a list of Educational Supports that teachers can implement to enable students to engage in self-directed learning.

How has the practice been implemented? The SDLMI has been used to teach students to attain goals.

Where has it been implemented? High school (1 study)

How does this practice relate to Indicator 13? Indicator 13 Checklist Item #6: Teaching students to achieve their goals may be an

1Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI) Instructional Script

Overview of the SDLMI:

• An instructional model that teaches students to engage in self-regulated and self-directedlearning (Wehmeyer et al., 2000)

• Specific strategy for teaching self-determination skills (e.g., goal-setting, decision-making,problem-solving)

• Self-determination skills taught include:• Goal-setting• Problem-solving• Decision-making• Self-regulation/self-management

Student Objective: • To teach students to set and attain goals• To teach students to develop an action plan to achieve goals• To teach students to self-evaluate progress towards goals to identify goal attainment or goal

revision needs

Materials: • SDLMI script• SDLMI worksheet• Slides (optional)• Data collection sheet (to assess student knowledge of SDLMI)• Student self-monitoring sheets• Lesson supplemental handouts

Alignment with the Common Core State Standards: ELA-Literacy.SL.9-10.1 (Speaking and Listening)

Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 9–10 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.

ELA-Literacy.SL.9-10.4 (Speaking and Listening)

Present information, findings, and supporting evidence clearly, concisely, and logically such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning and the organization, development, substance, and style are appropriate to purpose, audience, and task.

ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.1b (Speaking and Listening)

Work with peers to promote civil, democratic discussions and decision-making, set clear goals and deadlines, and establish individual roles as needed.

ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.7 (Writing)

Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when

Adapted from: Mazzotti, V. L., Test, D. W., &Wood, C. L. (2013). Effects of multimedia goal setting instruction on students’ knowledge of the self-determined learning model of instruction and disruptive behavior. Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 15, 90-102. doi: 10.1177/1098300712440452

2appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.

Prior to beginning this lesson, the teacher and/or student planning team should have considered and discussed the following related to individual student needs:

• Defined and summarized critical skills needed to persist in middle and high school (e.g., time management, organization, academic content).

• Identified any discrepancies between the target individual’s current self-determination skill set and what is required to be successful in school (see self-determination outcomes across the continuum)

• Identified barriers to academic achievement (e.g., language deficits, social skills). • Identified risks for communicating needs faced by students. • Defined expanding self-determination skills for school success as a potential goal area for the

individual. • Prior to providing guided and independent practice opportunities following lesson:

o Determine level of staff involvement or support necessary to provide guided and independent practice opportunities.

o Identified some initial steps to increase the target student’s level of success within the setting (e.g., reinforcement strategies)

• The lesson plans follow a model-lead/model-lead-test format. T = teacher/instructor

instructions and script; S = anticipated student response.

• To assess fidelity of implementation, instructor should check off each step of the lesson plan, as it is delivered to students.

T – “For the next couple of days, we are going to continue focusing on the Goal Setting Lessons Part 1 – set a goal”

4

T – “The question I ask myself to set a goal is - What is my GOAL?” T – “Let’s Practice. Say it with me” (model-lead) S – “The question I ask myself to set a goal is “What is my GOAL?”

5

T – “What question do you need to ask yourself to set a goal?”. Write response choices on whiteboard/overhead/SmartBoard. Provide students opportunity to choose a or b: a. “what is my goal?” b. “what is my name?” Prompt/Feedback: Based on student response if: a. is chosen – T – “great job a is the correct answer, the question I ask myself to set a goal is - what is my goal?” b. is chosen – T – “oops wrong answer, nice try, but try again”

T – “Let’s define goal: A goal is something I want to achieve. When I set a goal, I set out to do something.” T - “Let’s Practice. Say it with me” (model-lead) S - “A GOAL is something I want to achieve. When I set a goal, I set out to do something.” T – “now you say it” (test) S - “A GOAL is something I want to achieve. When I set a goal, I set out to do something.”

T – “Last time, you identified: 2 Strengths - things I am good at and 2 Needs - things I need to do better. Today, you will figure out how to get “better” at your needs.”

8

T – “When we talk about getting “better” at something, it could mean: I want to be the best or I want to do as well as my friends do or I want to do better than I did last time”

T – “When we talk about getting “better” at something, it could also mean: Completing all my assignments or Turning in my homework everyday or Not talking to others when I should be doing my work or Raising my hand to answer a question”

10 T – “Knowing exactly what to do about your needs helps you get better at your “needs”

6 In order to get better at your “needs” you need to know what the classroom expectations are

for behavior and compare them to your strengths and needs.” 11

T - Let’s compare your “strengths” to the class expectations. Remember: strengths are things you are good at. Your class expectations, which are the same as class rules are (these should be based on the classroom context):

1. Following teacher directions 2. Completing assignments 3. Staying in seat during instruction 4. Focusing on school work 5. Being prepared for class 6. Raising hand to answer 7. Respecting others

Now, let’s compare your strengths to the class expectations. Yesterday, you identified 2 strengths” You said…” (include the strengths the student identified in lesson 1; if lesson is being used for whole class instruction provide examples of strengths students identified and have students refer to the strengths they wrote down).

T – “Let’s compare your “needs” to the class expectations Remember: needs are things you need to do better Your class expectations, which are the same as class rules are:

1. Following teacher directions 2. Completing assignments 3. Staying in seat during instruction 4. Focusing on school work 5. Being prepared for class 6. Raising hand to answer 7. Respecting others

Now, let’s compare your needs to the class expectations. Yesterday, you identified needs. You said …” (include the needs the student identified in lesson 1; if lesson is being used for whole class instruction provide examples of needs students identified and have students refer to the needs they wrote down)

T – “To improve your needs changes need to happen. For example - to change your behavior so that you complete your assignments, you need to change what you do by having materials ready and focusing on your work; Or if you don’t understand you assignment, you could raise your hand and ask the teacher for help”

14

T – “Remember: To Work on My Needs, I can… Change my behavior, For example: If I am not doing my homework, then I need to do it or To Work on My Needs, I can… Change my surroundings, For example: If I don’t understand my assignment, then I need to ask the teacher for help”

15

T – “Listen. To improve my behavior, I ask myself 2 questions: 1. Do I need to change something that I do? 2. Do I need to have something change AROUND me? (model-lead) Now, say it with me:
