Content
The goal is being written around which grade/subject/level?
Use the sixth grade Oregon Science standards, district-adopted Science Curriculum Framework & CCSS for Literacy in Science
Context
What are the characteristics or special learning circumstances of my class(es)?
Mr. Wilson’s sixth grade science class has 30 students, 5 are intermediate ELL students and 5 are advanced ELL students. He also has 3 students on IEPs.
Baseline Data
What are the learning needs of my students?
Attach supporting data.
Based on Pre- CFA (Common Formative Assessment) data:
5 intermediate ELL scored average score of .75 3 on IEPs scored average score of .75 5 advanced ELL students scored average score of 1.2 10 Low performers scored average score of 2 7 mid performers average score of 2.7
Student Growth Goal Statement
Does my goal meet the SMART criteria?
Based on Pre- CFA data that scored the Integration of Knowledge and Ideas Literacy in Science standard with a four point descriptive rubric all students will improve one level on their targeted areas on a Post-CFA assessing similar tasks.
5 intermediate ELL scored average score of .75: Integrates information with words that are supported by a visual representation.
5 advanced ELL students scored average score of 1.2: Distinguish the difference between facts and judgments within published scientific studies.
3 on IEPs scored average score of .75: Integrates information with words that are supported by a visual representation.
10 Low performers scored average score of 2: Distinguish the

difference between facts and judgments within published scientific studies.
7 mid performers average score of 2.7: Compare and contrast the information gained from experiments and from reading a text on the same topic.
Strategies for Improvement
How will I help students attain this goal?
Provide specific actions that will lead to goal attainment.
1. Identify student knowledge level at the beginning of each unit using a formative assessment.
Frequency: Prior to each unit
Process benchmark: Development/refinement of formative assessments for each unit
Outcome benchmark: Analysis of student knowledge level related to content standard(s) using formative assessment results prior to each unit
Evidence:_______________________
2. Use formative assessment results to plan and adjust instruction for each unit.
Frequency: After each formative unit assessment Process benchmark: Analysis of student data after each
formative assessment, with notes as to how instruction will be adjusted during the next unit
Process benchmark: feedback notes from ELL specialist Outcome benchmark: Lesson plans that target core
content standards for each unit and reflect attention to identified student needs based on formative assessments
Evidence:_______________________
3. Disaggregate unit assessment data for Intermediate and Advanced ELL students and identify proportion that mastered content standards within each unit.
Frequency: After each unit assessment Process benchmark: Tracking form of student mastery of
core content standards within each unit Outcome benchmark: Completed/updated tracking form
of unit assessment results

Evidence:______________________
Professional Growth Goal:
What do I want to change about my instruction that will effectively impact student learning?
What is my personal learning necessary to make that change?
What are my measures of success?
Science Team Goal: In order to build mastery of science content by ELLs, we will work to consistently identify and teach symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases, using specific pedagogical techniques and additional resources to ensure comprehension.
1. Research evidence-based instructional strategies that target vocabulary development and academic language with ELL students. Identify a minimum of two instructional strategies for use in my classroom.
By October 1, read Teaching Basic & Advanced Vocabulary by Marzano and share insights with science team
By October 1, meet with ELL specialist to discuss evidence-based instructional strategies for teaching academic language and vocabulary to ELL students
By October 15, identify two instructional strategies to use in my classroom
Evidence:___________________________________
2. Pilot two instructional strategies related to teaching symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific works and phrases effectively with ELL students. Use exit slips at least weekly to measure student mastery of new vocabulary and/or scientific language.
Frequency: Weekly meetings Process benchmark: Include weekly vocabulary in
Monday lesson plans as well as instructional strategy that will be used to teach it
Process benchmark: Weekly analysis of exit slips to assess student mastery of new vocabulary and/or scientific language and determine effectiveness of instructional strategy. Make adjustments if needed.
Outcome benchmark: Implemented lesson plans that incorporate identified instructional strategies
Outcome benchmark: Improved mastery of scientific vocabulary and discourse by Intermediate and Advanced ELL students with possible cause/effect relationship to specific instructional strategy
Outcome benchmark: “bank” of effective resources/instructional strategies to inform future ELL science instruction

Aligned Indicator
Vocabulary-rich lesson (autotrophs, heterotrophs, producers, consumers, decomposers, predator, prey)—aligned to standards (on board).
Your facilitation is very well balanced in terms of your guidance versus student driven.
Application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation = yes!—yay!“What evidence do you have?” Yes—this is what we were talking about in terms of getting them deep!
Use of Spanish to support ELLs in the class—used to translate vocabulary (producers and consumers), clarify directions and make connections to cognates (“primary is like primero”).
Harris , Valerie , Gerry! Big improvement! These guys are way ahead of last year, huh?
Choral responses are used to get quick feedback from the class (1:33, 1:34; 1:38).Student disagreement in choral response (showing a lack of understanding around 1:38)—Teacher reviewed the concept of heterotrophs versus autotrophs.
Material is interesting and expectations clear—the worst anyone is behaving is pretty compliant.

Feedback to the EducatorDo you script your questions?It might be interesting to show them the article from today’s paper about cougars returning to the local area.Targeted use of Spanish for your ELLs seemed to keep them on pace with the lesson. Nice job. How will you assess their overall understanding at the conclusion?Good use of class choral responses to check student understanding.Students were asked to do higher-order thinking in today’s activity—how will you assess student understanding at the end of the unit? How are planning to bring this focus on analysis and higher-order thinking into subsequent lessons?

Lesson Plans T. Wilson Sixth-Grade Science DAY 1Objective Students will be able to:
Construct definition of the word “diffusion.” Construct a definition of the word “active transport.” Distinguish between active and passive transport/diffusion. Indicate why both diffusion and active transport are necessary for the absorption of
nutrients.Resources Lesson 6: Diffusion and Active Transport, Inquiry 6: “Spreading Out and Through”
Two-Day Lesson—Day 1Vocabulary Diffusion—When a substance spreads out from one place to another.
Passive transport—The movement of nutrients from one place to another that does not require energy from cells.Active transport—The movement of nutrients from one place to another that does require energy from cells.Membrane—The protective outer wall of a cell. It keeps the insides of the cell in and what should stay outside the cell out.Permeable—Allowing all liquids or gases to pass through a membrane.Semipermeable—Only certain substances can pass in and out of a membrane.ATP—The substance made in your body that gives off energy for active transport to take place.
Lesson Cycle/Activities Do Now:Use the glossary to look up the words “active transport” and “passive transport” and add them to you list of definitions on Lesson 6 Notes.Direct Instruction: Teacher will explain that there is another way—besides diffusion—that our bodies
absorb nutrients from food. Teacher does a quick review of diffusion.Independent Practice: Students will assign themselves jobs and pick up lab materials. They will conduct Day 1
of Inquiry 5.1: “Exploring Chemical Digestion in the Stomach” SG pp. 33–35. They will record their data on their data table.
Guided Instruction:Students will go verbally through procedures of Inquiry 6.1. Since the membranes are defective and will not allow us to physically complete the lab,
we will go through each step and make predictions of what would happen if a sugar solution was put into a membrane and set into a water-filled test tube versus if a starch solution was put in a membrane and set into a water-filled test tube.
Students will hypothesize which solution will be able to pass through the membrane after 15 minutes and why.
Students will describe why they will need Benedict’s solution and Lugol’s solution to complete the test.
Direct Instruction: Teacher explains what “passive transport” and “active transport” are.
Assessments/Homework Exit slip—quick write-up on passive and active transport (flip index card).Tuesday: In your own words, the difference between active and passive transport.Modified: Use Venn diagram.
Modifications (gifted, special education, ELL)
Group 1—ELLs: Miguel, Jonathan, Adriana, Saul, Edward, Aldo, Melodi, MarcoModifications: English translated into Spanish verbally, when needed for clarity—special emphasis on key vocabulary terms (which are also on index cards on the tabletop).

Lesson Plans T. Wilson Sixth-Grade Science DAY 2Objective Students will be able to:
Distinguish between active and passive transport/diffusion. Indicate why both diffusion and active transport are necessary for the absorption of
nutrients. Summarize the digestive processes that take place in the small intestine. Add to study notes.
Resources Lesson 6: Diffusion and Active Transport, Inquiry 6: Spreading Out and ThroughTwo-Day Lesson—Day 2
Vocabulary Diffusion—When a substance spreads out from one place to another.Passive transport—The movement of nutrients from one place to another that does not require energy from cells.Active transport—The movement of nutrients from one place to another that does require energy from cells.Membrane—The protective outer wall of a cell. It keeps the insides of the cell in and what should stay outside the cell out.Permeable—Allowing all liquids or gases to pass through a membrane.Semipermeable—Only certain substances can pass in and out of a membrane.ATP—The substance made in your body that gives off energy for active transport to take place.Small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas, and gall bladder
Lesson Cycle/Activities Do Now:Update your binder.Direct Instruction:Teacher will talk through the science notes as students write them down. Teacher explains that today’s lesson will involve role play.Guided Practice: Teacher will put Student Sheet 6.1 on the overhead projector and allow students to
come up and put their answers on the transparency. Teacher will also post the two homework articles, “Spies: The Long and Winding Tube”
and “Diffusion and Active Transport: Getting From Here to There,” on the overhead to review and highlight with different colors.
Independent Practice: Students will make study flash cards based on the science notes the teacher has given;
they included these cards in their ISB. Students will develop a skit and role-play how active transport works (students in
predetermined triads; one ELL student/group).Assessments/Homework Classroom observations.
Wednesday: Use the article “The Long Winding Tube” to describe what takes place in the small intestine in 10+ lines; use content vocabulary!Modified: 5+ lines; continue focus on content vocabulary.
Modifications (gifted, special education, ELL) Group 1—ELLs: Miguel, Jonathan, Adriana, Saul, Edward, Aldo, Melodi, Marco
Modifications: English translated into Spanish verbally, when needed for clarity—special emphasis on key vocabulary terms (which are also on index cards on the tabletop).

Science Team Meeting Minutes—November 4 (Quarter 1, Week 10)
Present:V. AndersonE. AveryR. DavidC. ElliottS. MichaelsR. SmithT. Wilson
Quarter 1 team focus: Build shared understanding of the implications of CCS instructional shifts in ELA on the science classroom, and begin to make changes to our own practices to support student learning and college and career readiness.Item ActionsReviewed and discussed article on “CCS and the Science Classroom” and take-aways for team. (Thanks, T. Wilson, for finding and sharing this article!)
Data update: All participants share data of recent unit assessment(s).
Returned to discussion on doing writing-based miniresearch projects into each quarter; shared writing objectives for Quarter 2 opening units. Reviewed Draft 2 of shared rubric.
Finalized plans for museum field trips in December.
Finalized Quarter 2 team goal: Will keep the same goal but add “a focus on Writing from Sources and Academic Vocabulary.”
Upcoming:Family Learning Night in January—we need to start generating ideas. (V. Anderson will bring information from last year.)
* All teachers should try at least two strategies from pp. 8–21 and bring evidence of practice to next two meetings.* R. Smith will check out the links to science readings and suggest top picks for us by 11/12.* T. Wilson will ask Ms. Avila to attend a November meeting to follow up on ELL questions we generated (share questions ASAP with Ms. Avila via e-mail).
* Everyone identified a partner who had students that showed success in an area of their weakness to discuss instructional strategies with during common planning time.
* Everyone will tweak writing objectives and send out by Wednesday. Everyone will respond to each other via e-mail. Bring final copy to 11/4 meeting.* T. Wilson will revise rubric and send out by Friday via e-mail (please read before 11/4 meeting).* E. Avery will check afterschool library support available.* Still to decide: Do we need examples to share with students? (Final decision needed 11/4!)
None (reminder: permission slips out before Thanksgiving break).
Next meeting: November 4 Reminder: meeting 11/12, not 11/11 (Q2, W1—Monday holiday)

From: Wilson, TomSent: Wednesday, 11/9/2011, 2:15 p.m.To: Martinez, JuliaSubject: Digestion Unit Vocabulary
Dear Mrs. Martinez,As we discussed at our last conference, I’m attaching a list of key vocabulary for the unit on digestion that starts next week. We committed to working together on two things:
1. Helping Marco keep his materials for science organized so that he can use these resources to study (so you will now have this vocabulary list as a “backup”—and, as a reminder, it is also on this “this week” tab on our class website: www.gwsmithschool.org/sciencerocks/6thgrade).
2. Helping Marco prioritize daily review of vocabulary at home so that he does more learning of these terms “along the way” rather than only studying the night before a quiz.
I hope you can take these next steps with Marco:1. Have him make vocabulary cards (word on the front, definition on the back).2. Set up a nightly schedule for five minutes of review—maybe during dinner, maybe right before bed—but some
time when he will review the cards and you can either monitor him or work directly with him.Please keep me posted on how this at-home activity goes this week so that we can continue to work together to support Marco’s science learning. I hope we’ll see great results on this week’s quiz!

Thank you for sending the vocabulary list. Marco is making the vocabulary cards tonight, but he feels like this is “extra work.” Will he get extra credit for making these cards?
Thank you again,Mrs. Martinez
P.S. Can you send more index cards? Thank you!

Dear Mrs. Martinez,
Thanks for your follow-up e-mail and question. It’s great for us to keep communicating in support of Marco’s science learning. I reminded Marco today that making these vocabulary cards is absolutely “extra work,” but it is not for extra credit —it is to help him improve his science grade. Specifically, I mentioned to him:
Using science vocabulary appropriately improves his class discussion grade. Including the science vocabulary improves his lab reports. Learning the science vocabulary improves his quiz and test scores.
He seemed to understand why this work was required and why we are talking about it so much; keep me posted on any more questions that come up at home.I will send a pack of index cards early next week.

Dear Mrs. Martinez,Marco received a 6/10 on today’s quiz. While that score still has room for improvement, I wanted to let you know it was his highest score of the quarter and that he included more vocabulary in his short-answer questions than any other quiz this year. Let’s continue with our plan next week—I attached the list here for the circulatory system, the new unit we’re starting, so you have them as backup at home. Let me know if you have questions.
