Options for Recruiting Interest

Let’s pause for a moment and think about:

options that come to mind for recruiting students in educational settings.

challenges do you think that you will encounter.

(C) CAST 2013

Options for sustaining effort and persistence

8.1 Heighten salience of goals and objectives8.2 Vary demands and resources8.3 Foster collaboration and community8.4 Increase mastery oriented feedback

(C) CAST 2013

13

Options for increasing mastery-oriented feedback

• Provide feedback that encourages perseverance

• Provide feedback that emphasizes effort

• Provide feedback that is frequent, timely, and specific

• Provide feedback that is substantive and informative rather than comparative or competitive

• Provide feedback that models how to incorporate evaluation

(C) CAST 2013

14

Options for Self-regulation

9.1 promote expectations and beliefs that optimize motivation

9.2 Facilitate personal coping skills and strategies

9.3 Develop self-assessment and reflection

(C) CAST 2013

15

Self-regulation

(C) CAST 2013

• ability to set motivating goals

• sustain effort toward meeting those goals;

• monitor the balance between internal resources and external demands, seeking help or adjusting one's own expectations and strategies as needed.

Activity -

(C) CAST 2013

• Start with Common Core State Standard for your unit/lesson.

• Consider how you can formulate a goal that addresses learner variability

• Use the checkpoints as a menu of options to select from.

Scenario #1: ELA Writing

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.3

Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.

(C) CAST 2013

Scenario #1: Unwrap the standard

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.3

Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.

Scenario #1: Unwrap the standardCCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.3

Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.

Scenario #1: Consider UDL

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.3 Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive, details, and clear event sequences.

How can UDL principles be applied to this standard to develop flexible goals, methods, materials, or assessments?

22

Then ask yourself

• Is the goal clearly stated and understood by all?

• Is the assessment aligned to the goal?

• Do my methods and materials minimize barriers for my learners?

• How have I considered the three UDL principles? Which guideline or checkpoint will I focus on?

(C) CAST 2013

Scenario #1: Flexible componentsExample of Flexible GoalsProvide Multiple Means of Expression:• Develop a narrative in writing, orally or through images

Example of Flexible MethodsProvide Multiple Means of Representation:• Provide scaffolds to help students develop descriptive

details and clear event sequences (e.g. describe orally, write on index cards and then sequence)

• Start with images, generate words
