Sorry. Late to the party. #DCMSAODL

Using learningtargets set a clear goal. Students will know where we are going were they are now and how we intend to reach the target#DCMSAODL

A5learning targets let us know where we are going and then we can assess where we are and map out a path to hit the target. #DCMSAODL

This is the work I have been doing in my classes. It helps when designing meaningful lessons. Keeps us from sticky to old lessons because that’s the way we have always done things. #DCMSAODL

A2 focus standard RL9 compare and contrast texts in different forms/genre. Support with figurative language/Rl5 analyze how sentences chapters stanzas fit together also RL6&4 #DCMSAODL

A2 connecting how authors write with the message and tone in mind. What do they want the reader to understand as how they use their crafts to engage the reader. What makes one more interesting than the other?#DCMSAODL

My take away is “learnings social, and the purposeful inclusion of collaboration,throughout the learning process, is highly engaging for students.”#DCMSAODL

Q1: focusing on the why and how keeps the learning target in focus. Driving questions drive learning #DCMSAODL

Q2: I loved reading Henry’s Freedom Box And having students try to fit in the box after reading that story. They could imagine his journey#DCMSAODL

Q3: I see myself on both sides of the chart. I may copy this and keep it with me to help planning lessons. Do we get to keep our books?#DCMSAODL

Q3:I don not think I have ever thought about all of “five to thrive” when creating my lessons. #DCMSAODL

Q5: I try to include all of these steps but there are days when I find myself too heavy in instruction. I think this year will flow better being used to the schedule. #DCMSAODL

Q1: I will ask student to be more reflective about their learning. Help them understand that this is not punitive but prescriptive. Help students understand where they are in the learning and how to reach the learning target #DCMSAODL

Q2: single point rubrics will increase student ownership in the learning process. The teacher and student will have a clear understanding of the learning that has been achieved. It will decrease the stress of testing for students #DCMSAODL

Q3: I would like to incorporate more student/teacher created rubrics. Involving students in determining what the learning target is and how the learning can be measured #DCMSAODL

Q4: I have conferences with with students and set goals but I now see this is not enough. Using single point rubrics the feedback will become more meaningful and beneficial for students #DCMSAODL

Q5: I am excited I do this. My only concern is the time it might take. Having a co-teacher this year will help that but I know this will improve the learning and teaching in my classes #DCMSAODL
