   for understanding

Check-in

Check-in

Did you have time to collect class information?

Did you have time to consider what/ when you will teach for this module?

Did you have time to write first drafts of your aim and SC?

Let's think back...

The Success 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.

After our last TM session, I made an aim and SC for at least one lesson and tried them out.

YES

NOT YET

Check each other's aim and 3 success criteria and give feedback on:

• The aim is correctly formulated? (Does it, e.g., start with: Students will be able to......)
• The aim is SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely)
• The SC are 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

10 mins - provide meaningful feedback :)

For next class:

• Reformulate your aim and SC based on the feedback you were given today 
• Submit to the BS folder before next class begins :)

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: Do  all SC lead to achieving the aim?

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

                                            practice. Theory used to explain.

Written:                           Conclusion including reflection on the use of formative 

                                            evaluation and your future use of it. Theory used to

Phase 2: Ways to collect
evidence
of student learning

Formal ways to collect data on student learning

• exam/test
  
• quiz
  
• handing in drafts

Informal ways to collect data on student learning

• asking questions
  
• group discussions
  
• collect student answers/work
  
• observing students
  
• quick check-ins, ...
  

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

digital ways: https://www.nwea.org/blog/2021/75-digital-tools-apps-teachers-use-to-support-classroom-formative-assessment/

Links are also in prep work for lesson 3 in BS!

Think-pair-share assignment (15 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.

Homework

• Submit your aim and SC for your lesson series to the Feedback Fruits submission box in BS.
• Update the overview with practical information about your lesson (for e.g. when do you plan to teach your lessons?)
• Do the prep (if you didn't already) and post-class work for this week (week 3) and the prep work for next week (week 4) - this is important for your theoretical understanding!
