Research Based Learning Cycle
Draw out Initial Ideas about or Skill With the Learning TargetStudents surface their thinking about or skill level with the learning target using techniques like formative assessment probes, discussions, demonstrations, examples or performances.Teacher modifies/ adjusts lessons in response to student ideas.
Reflect/ Make SenseStudents and teacher think about and discuss their understanding or achievement of the learning target as evidenced in artifacts and reflect on their own learning (how their thinking or skills changed and what experiences changed their thinking or skills).
Engage with Concept to Generate and Collect Evidence Related to the Learning Target (Activity)
Students engage in appropriate activities such as small and large group discussions, lectures, modeling, problem solving, reading textbooks or other text resources, technology based demonstrations or simulations, observations, experiments, or practice.Students reflect on initial ideas or skills in light of evidence, think about and analyze information, discuss evidence and ideas with peers and teacher and provide and receive feedback.
AssessmentSuccess?
Yes!
Share the Learning Target (Concept or Skill)Teacher can answer- What is my learning target? How will it be assessed? What are my success criteria?Students can answer- What am I learning? Why am I learning it? How am I learning it? How well do I need to learn it? How do I show that I have learned it?
Where am I going?
How do I close
the gap?

Where am I now?
Generate Artifacts/ Evidence of Learning (Assessment)Students demonstrate their current thinking or skill level by participating in small group and large group discussions, creating a concept sketch, lab report, class presentation, written report, solved problems, performance, or other artifacts.Teachers and students provide useful feedback based on clear success criteria.

Classroom culture / Mindset
7
•Share big ideas and learning targets •Promote the belief that ability can be improved•Make it more important for students to compare themselves with themselves, rather than others, in terms of achievement•Provide feedback that provides next steps for students•Use every opportunity to transfer control of the learning
Increase Student Ownership
•The content sessions put me in the learner's seat, giving me perspective on the challenges and rewards my students will face.•Understanding of potential student frustration… I really understand the growth mindset vs. the fixed mindset now.•How it feels to struggle , to be confused and what can be done to help learners break through to the new concept.

What is the structure of the NGSS? How can I read it? What is Washington state’s implementation plan?
I can define the different components of the NGSS and when those components should be implemented in my own classroom instruction.
Read and discuss How To Read the NGSS
Individually answer the questions about the life science learning progression and then
discuss with your table group.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
Physical SciencesPS1: Matter and its interactionsPS2: Motion and stability: Forces and interactionsPS3: EnergyPS4: Waves and their applications in technologies for information transfer
Life ScienceLS1: From molecules to organisms: Structures and processesLS2: Ecosystems: Interactions, energy, and dynamicsLS3: Heredity: Inheritance and variation of traitsLS4: Biological evolution: Unity and diversity
Earth and Space SciencesESS1: Earth’s place in the universeESS2: Earth’s systemsESS3: Earth and human activity
Engineering, Technology, and Applications of ScienceETS1: Engineering designETS2: Links among engineering, technology, science, and society
Science and Engineering Practices
•Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering)1.Developing and using models2.Planning and carrying out investigations3.Analyzing and interpreting data4.Using mathematics and computational thinking5.Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering)6.Engaging in argument from evidence7.Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information.
Crosscutting Concepts
•Patterns1.Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation2.Scale, proportion, and quantity3.Systems and system models4.Energy and matter: Flows, cycles, conservation5.Structure and function6.Stability and change
http://www.k12.wa.us/Science/NGSS.aspx
Sage Wisdom1. Be thoughtful and deliberate
2. Leave your curriculum alone (for now)
3. Spend time learning the science and engineering practices and crosscutting concepts
4. Pick one thing each year and do it well
Ellen Ebert, OSPI Director of Science and fromStephen Pruitt, VP Achieve Inc. in charge of science standards
18
What are crosscutting concepts and how can they improve my instruction and student learning?
I can define crosscutting concepts and plan strategies to use them to improve student learning.
Crosscutting Concepts•Use the Say Something Protocol to discuss the Crosscutting Concepts. •How can you use the Crosscutting Concepts at your grade level? In your school?

36Say Something
www.adaptiveschools.com
Process:1. Work with your partner2. Read silently and simultaneously to a mutually agreed upon
stopping point (consider 1-3 paragraph chunking).3. When each partner is ready, stop and “say something.” The
something might be a question, a brief summary, a key point, an interesting idea, or a personal connection.
4. Continue the process until you have completed the section5. At the end of the reading, have a conversation about the
entire reading, inquiring into the other person’s thinking.6. End with a group discussion

Reflections on the material we are learning
Record the process we went through in learning something new
Questions we want to have clarified
Specifics from the content professors
What are the disciplinary core ideas for my grade? How do those ideas connect to the CCSSM and CCSSELA standards for my grade?
I can identify meaningful ways to connect the NGSS disciplinary core ideas for my grade to the CCSSM and CCSSELA.
• Examine the NGSS transition plan for your grade.• Choose one kit to look at, identify, and list:
• Science and Engineering Practices• Crosscutting Concepts• If possible, Disciplinary Core Ideas
Lunch• At 12:30 pm be
ready to go in your content room:
• K-2 in 230 with Kim and Jessica
