To that end, I would like us to focus on the topic of "Learning Goals and Scales" and do so in a "flipped" fashion. The district has provided a PowerPoint to address these topics, but I do not want to spend valuable time reviewing a presentation. Instead, I am going to ask you to do that BEFORE you come to our professional development session on Thursday. The modified presentation (I deleted a number of slides and added a few of my own) is posted below. I will also send it via e-mail.
Once you have had the opportunity to look over the PowerPoint, please take time to review a few reflection questions on the shared Google Doc (link provided via e-mail), add your thoughts, or comment on any (or all) of the questions, and record any questions you still have about learning goals and scales. Consider this a virtual discussion.
If you feel like you have a decent handle on these concepts, please consider sharing an example via the "Share to Dropbox" link provided by e-mail.
Finally, I would like everyone to bring ONE learning goal to Thursday's session. This should be a goal for something you plan on teaching, but for which you have not yet written (or finalized) a scale. You will be working with this learning goal on Thursday.
To summarize...before Thursday's professional development session:
- Review the PowerPoint presentation - Learning Goals and Scales
- Read over the shared Google Doc (link sent via e-mail); add your thoughts, leave comments and questions
- If you have a good example of a learning goal and associated scale, post it via the e-mailed link
- Bring ONE learning goal - for which you have not written a scale - to Thursday's session
Thanks for modeling the process of life-long learning!
