Closure & Expectations for Staff Meeting this Afternoon

Brain Teaser…During a visit to a mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criteria is that defines if a patient should be institutionalized. "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub. Then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub.”

Okay, here's your test:

1. Would you use the spoon?

2. Would you use the teacup?

3. Would you use the bucket?

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the bucket, as it is larger than the spoon.” What was the director's response?

The Director’s Response…

"No," answered the Director. "A normal person would pull the plug."

Thank you for sharing your story. It was fabulous! Let’s give Leanne a cheese greater.

Revisiting The Big Wave

The Notorious Three-part Learning Objective

Objective

Today we will improve our mastery of writing 3 Part Objectives by analyzing, rating, reflecting and rewriting our own objectives. Such mastery will be demonstrated when rewritten objectives contain language that is content specific and aligned to standards, reflects an aligned level of cognition, and measurable proving behaviors that directly correlate to the requirements of the standard(s).

Warm Up Reflection

Please pull the LP that you were asked to bring today that includes a standard aligned objective.

Take a moment to consider your objective for today.

Whip around response to the following question: “How do you connect the clarity of your learning objective to student’s performance in your classroom?”

Characteristics of 3 Part Objectives

Three Part Objectives…

Are very specific

Aligned to standards and skills

Require action

Are designed to be accomplished in ONE CLASS PERIOD and should change regularly.

Are evidence of mastery of standards and should be reflected in a student’s grade.

Part 1 ContentAinsley, this is your slide to please read…

The daily 3 part objective contains the specific content students will study and USE during your class that day.

The content is pulled from the standards or identified skill sets to be taught during the unit.

It is not a prudent practice to decide what to teach and then search for a standard that aligns to instructional desires.

Part 2 Level of CognitionXiomara, this is your slide to please read…

Cognition is the ACT or process of knowing/thinking.

The objective contains the level of thinking the student will be taught to USE in a given context.

The levels of thinking are represented by specific action verbs that are observable and assessable. (Bloom’s Taxonomy Handout)

Part 3 The Proving ActivityBridgett, this is your slide to please read…

The proving activity is that which you will require the students to do, to prove to you and themselves, that they have learned the content taught during that class period.

Step 1 – Self-Rating

Locate your copy of the CRTF rubric

Look at 1.1A & 1.1B and consider what you are being asked to do.

How can you use language and “targeted terminology” to connect your standard and objective?

Rate your objective on the rubric with the following considerations, guidelines and tools…

Self-Rating Tools

Highlight cognition terminology in the chosen standard and your objective. Are they aligned?

To what extent is your proving behavior a true measure of student mastery of your daily objective?

Is your PB qualitative, quantitative or both? Will your PB yield actionable data for both you and your

students?

Is your objective clearly stated in a way that informs readers that it is to be attained in a single class period?

Step – 2 Peer Feedback

Please assemble into your Retreat Teams but listen for new instructions…

Use the following tools for assistance and revision: Taxonomy Handout, CRTF Rubric, Peer Feedback

Step – 3 Independent Practice

Use the feedback from your peers and admin team to revise your 3 Part Objective.

Look again at the CRTF rubric and identify areas addressed by your revisions.

Consider necessary adjustments to future instructional objectives based on the content discussed today.

If you have time, work on an LP in place for next week.
