Learning has to do with what the students accomplish.”

Where am I going?
1. Provide a clear and understandable version of the learning target.
2. Use examples and models of strong and weak work.

A learning goal, if it is to be useful, must have two parts – two legs on which to stand:◦1. Content
What will the subject be?
◦2. Level of Thinking / Doing. What will the learner accomplish with the content?

Strengthening “I Can…” Objective Use
It’s true. “I Can…” statements put standards in student-friendly, measureable terms!
Suggestion #1: Carefully select Bloom’s verbs for your “I Cans…”, then discuss your verb choice with your students. Have them compare your “I Can…” to one with a “lesser” verb to help them understand their objective.
Example: Students compare their actual “I Can…” (I can prompt quieter members to join in the conversation during book club) to a lesser one (I can explain the different roles for book club) to understand what the teacher is actually assessing them on.

Example: I can identify how changing the dimensions of a cylinder will affect the volume by using different models of cylinders.

Strengthening “I Can…” Objective Use
Suggestion #3: Highlight any academic vocabularyacademic vocabulary in your big “I Can…” and require students to use that vocabulary when you’re talking to them about their progress towards your lesson objectives.
Example: I can read a favorite story with expressionexpression and to demonstrate fluencyfluency.

4. Teach students to self-assess and set goals.

When anyone is trying to learn, feedback about the effort has three elements:◦Recognition of the desired goal,◦Evidence about present position,◦Some understanding of a way to close the
gap between the two.
All three must be understood to some degree before he or she can take action to improve learning.

Strengthening “I Can…” Objective Use
Suggestion #4: Teach students to use a quick-check formative tool that asks them to self-assess their current ability to complete the “I Can…”. Try to move beyond thumbs-up/down as a quick check technique by choosing a tool with several more dimensions to it.
•I can analyze my rough draft to find a writing trait that I should revise during writer’s workshop.•I can choose a specific skill from the trait I am revising for and then choose a strategy for improving that skill in my next draft.•I can communicate my trait-inspired revision strategy to my teacher before I begin revising.

In a learning situation, the principle of congruency means to achieve an exact match or agreement between the clear learning goal and the chosen learning activity.
Congruency – an exact match Correlation – related to
Impostor activities look congruent, but are really only correlated. Impostor activities waste valuable learning time.
20 minutes of imposter activities per day = 60 hours of lost instruction per school year….Wow!!!
