GAME PLAN
Goal: Participants will understand what a learning system is will state some of its benefits.
Activities: Powerpoint Measure: Pretest and ABA summary Evaluation: Official evaluation sheet

Setting up the framework
Talking about learning: you are all learners! Demonstrating the learning curve Explaining the difference between teaching
system and learning system
Using a Learning System
Teacher clearly communicates objectives Teacher provides training and tools needed Students take responsibility for learning
Focus on Learning
Writing the mission statement Setting the goals Displaying clear learning objectives Analogy of the car Issue Bin and Homework policies What about grades?

Chapter 4 Expected Outcomes
Name: _____________________________ I will be able to: 4a. Write equations to model and solve problems 4b. Use Hands on Equations kits to solve linear equations in one variable 4c. Solve problems involving formulas 4d. Evaluate expressions for given values of the variable when the variable
is a positive or negative integer
My job:
Provide tools and training Be the instructional expert Make learning targets clear
Students accept responsibility
Set personal goals Used portfolios Maintained personal data graphs Identified weaknesses with daily exit cards Gave feedback on instructional activities
with plus/deltas Developed classroom procedures and rules Handled classroom issues through Issue Bin

Communicating about Math
Daily math journals Walkabouts Gallery hops and presentations Exit cards Math newsletter
1. How did I communicate about math today? 2. How did I use technology today? 3. What goals did I set or work on? 4. How did I tie math to things outside the classroom? 5. What did I do or learn that I am proud of today? 6. List some pluses or deltas from specific math
activities we did today. (What activities helped me reach my goals? What activities could be improved?)

The Bike Project
For this project, you and your partner(s) will be planning a 200-500 mile bike trip somewhere in the United States. You may choose to travel a round trip beginning anywhere in the US or else 200-500 miles one way beginning and ending anywhere you please.

Benefits of a Learning System
High performing system Focus on results Constantly measure progress, so we know
where we are Students take responsibility Students are engaged
GAME PLAN
Goal: Participants will understand what a learning system is will state some of its benefits.

GAME plan: Measure
ABA activity – Describe a learning system Tell how a learning system is different from
a teaching system Discuss the possible benefits of using a
learning system You may repeat yourself – you may use
