Today's class

WALT (aim): Students can explain (the relevance of) and create Phase 1 of the FE loop

WILF (SC=Success Criteria):

- Students can give the definition of the acronyms WALT and WILF

- Students can use the acronyms WALT and WILF

- Students can define and explain each letter in the acronym SMART

- Students can create their own aim and SC for an activity

Recap of last week's lesson.
Write down what you remember about the FE loop from last week's lesson

Can you tell me the 5 different 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? 

Fill in the missing words or phrases for the AIM of this course:
At the end of this course, students can ...1..., ...2.... and ...3... on a lesson series based on the ......4...... of FE in a 3000-word paper or a 12-minute vlog.

Course AIM:

At the end of the course, students can design, carry out and reflect on a lesson series based on the 5 cycle loop of FE in a 3000-word paper or a 12-minute vlog.

What does C4U stand for?

1. See for yourself
2. comprehension for u
3. Check for understanding
4. care for u

Something to remember...

Formative evaluation: a constantly occurring process, a verb, a series of events in action, not a single tool or a static noun.

(National Council of Teachers of English)

I can define phase 1 of Gullikers and Baartman's 5 cycle loop.

YES

NOT YET

Define phase 1:

Phase 1 =

Clarifying expectations: Aim and SC

WALT stands for...

WILF stands for...

WALT = What Are we Learning Today

and

WILF = What am I Looking For

What are WALT and WILF?

Knowing students and their needs

• culture, language, and identity
  
• learning environments (classroom, home)
  
• demographics (age group, local connections, and affiliations)
  
• learning-related data
  
• medical or health conditions
  
• knowledge of learner preferences, abilities, and interests
  
• personal connections and relationships
  
• individual learner goals and aspirations.

Identify learner needs.  https://inclusive.tki.org.nz/guides/technology-tools-for-learning/identify-learner-needs/

How can you get to know your students and their needs?

Grab yourselves a coffee/tea :)

Do you know the definitions of the SMART criteria?

Yes

Mostly

Not yet

Succes Criteria

• The Succes Criteria of the lesson SERIES are basically turned into AIMS for the first two lessons.

• The aims of the first two lessons get their own Success Criteria.

• The aim of the third lesson depends on the results of the analysis of the students’ end products (carried out after Lessons 1+2).

• The aim of Lesson 3 (the re-teaching lesson) will therefore focus on the SC of the lesson series the students did not master when they handed in their end products.

Brightspace activity - week 2

Look at the handout (or go to Brightspace - week 2) - 'Examples of aims and SC for a lesson series' - Read in silence for 5 minutes

In pairs --> decide on the lesson aim and SC for lesson 3 (page 2 of the worksheet). 10mins

Assignment (10 minutes)

• Create a SMART aim for a single lesson for your students where they have to use the present continuous. 
• Add suitable SC (success criteria) 
• Add answers to Padlet

C4U + feed forward (10 min)

Check each other's assignment and give feedback on: 

• Is the aim SMART? If not, how can the student improve?
• Do the SC show student learning? If not, how can the student improve?
• Provide comments on Padlet

Suggestion for an activity

Aim: At the end of the lesson, you can write 5 sentences about what you, your teacher and your classmates are doing, using 5 different verbs.

SC: You can explain how the verb of the present continuous is made.

SC: You can list the 3 different forms of the verb 'to be' 

SC: You can divide the pronouns I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they into singular 

         and plural and combine them with the correct form of 'to be'.

SC: You can list 5 different verbs which describe what a person is doing.

Can you explain aims and SC now?

Huzzah! It makes sense!

Possibly. I sort of get it now.

Not quite there yet.

Homework

• Think of an activity. Try to set an aim and SC for the activity in (at least one of) your classes for after the break. 
• If you feel confident, let the students decide on the SC, but you must make sure they are SMART.
• Do the prep work in BS for our next session. 

Thank you

Enjoy the break

See you again in class in two weeks (9-3)!
