Recap sessions 1+2 (10 min). Play the game with the picture cards in your group.

Write the aim and 2-3 success criteria for this activity on your mini white board:

• Students work in groups of 3 for 6 minutes. 
• Each student gets 3 cards with pictures. 
• The words must be guessed. 
• The students take turns asking questions to guess the words. 
• Only yes/no questions can be asked. 
• Only English is allowed!  

Aim: ?

SC: ?

Self-assessment (7min) per group and peer feedback (7min)

• Is the aim SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely)
  
• Identify each letter of the acronym in your aim. (what makes it Specific, what makes it Measurable, etc.) 
• Are the SC correctly formulated? 
• Identify the action verbs in each SC, e.g. define/describe/explain/use/etc.
  
• Do the SC all show evidence of student learning? Explain.
  

I can list the five phases of the FE loop

YES

NOT YET

Collect evidence of learning

Collect evidence of HOW students reach the aim.

C4Us = Checks for Understanding

Suggestions for the example of 5 sentences about yourself?

Analyse evidence of learning

Describe and explain observations of the collected evidence of learning. What went well? Why? Where is room for improvement?

Discuss findings/analysis with students

Providing students with feedback. Informing them about your findings. How do you do that so their learning can benefit from your feedback?

Suggestions?

Improve your teaching and the students' learning

If you had to teach the same again, what would you do differently? Why? Which activities can you come up with to make sure your students reach the aim set in phase 1?

Suggestions?

Aims and success criteria (SC)

AIM(S) = WHAT do you want your students to learn?

SC = HOW will your students reach the aim?

Example AIM: Students can introduce themselves in 5 sentences.

SC? 

Give the definition of phase 1 in the FE loop.

True or false: In phase 1, the teacher always sets the aim and decides on the success criteria (SC) him/herself.

TRUE

FALSE

If your answer was 'true':

Watch the third video uploaded as prep work in BS for last week, because the teacher does not always set the aim and decide on the SC him/herself. Students can do that as well. The teacher needs to make sure they tick all the boxes, though, so are they SMART and do they all show student learning and of course: Do  all SC lead to achieving the aim?

If needed: Watch info about Phase 1 in Dutch (from SLO)

Since our TM class last week, I've made an aim and SC for at least one lesson and tried them out at my placement school.

YES

Phase 2: Ways to collect
evidence
of student learning

Gathering evidence of student learning

• teacher asks students to write on paper
• teacher records verbal responses
• teacher uses digital tools 
• teacher asks students to use self-assessment
• teacher asks students to give peer-feedback

Self-assessment & peer-feedback will be discussed next week

C4Us

8 informal ones (quick checks): https://www.edutopia.org/article/8-quick-checks-understanding

Think-pair-share assignment (10 mins)

Browse the sites and write down:

• 3 informal C4Us which would work for your students and 1 which wouldn't. 
• 2 formal C4Us which would work for your students and 1 which wouldn't.
• Explain your choices to your group members.
• Be prepared to share with the entire class afterwards.
