= DEEP ALIGNMENTPerformance Standards:

Closely examines

curriculum and then designs lessons that are tightly

aligned to the Standards

(TEKS): what students must know and be

able to do

Evidences of Learning:

Gathers formative and summative

assessments and/or rubrics that

accurately measure student mastery of

unit learning objectives (evidence gathered throughout

the learning)

Learning Activities:

Selects strategies and structures that will actively engage students, leading them to

master the desired learning

outcomes

Look at the end result first. Then decide how students will provide evidence of their learning, and finally design instructional activities to help kids learn what is needed

to be successful.

THE COMPONENTS OF EFFECTIVE LESSON DESIGN

Planning for Learning in a

Professional Learning Community

1.What do students need to know and be able to do?

2.How will we know when they have learned it?

3. What instruction must take place to ensure students learn?

4.What will we do when they haven’t learned it?

5.What will we do when they already know it?

Five Questions of the PLC

Five Questions of the PLC1. What do students need to know and be able to do?

Examine the curriculum documents Determine how to bundle standards within the lessons

(leading standard, process skills, partner standards)

2. How will we know when they’ve learned it?

Develop common assessments aligned to the unit standards (both formative and summative)

Use formative and summative data to monitor student progress

Five Questions of the PLC3. What instruction must take place to ensure students learn?

Design instruction in alignment with the cognitive rigor, content, and context of the standard by using the Clarifying Documents in eduphoria!

Design student tasks that are aligned to the standards and prepare students to demonstrate mastery

Select strategies that will cause students to engage in the thinking required of the standard

Review data from assessments and make instructional decisions based upon the findings

Five Questions of the PLC4. What will we do if they haven’t learned it?

Plan for re-teaching of standards that students did not master at the advanced level

Select appropriate interventions for students struggling to achieve mastery

5. What will we do if they already learned it?

•Plan for extending learning for those who have achieved mastery

Components of the BISD Lesson Plan

Standards: Standards: Knowledge, skills and competencies expected for mastery of a course or discipline based upon the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Often referred to as objectives.

Strategies: Techniques or tools that students use to process information that can be applied to any learning situation and that engage students in the learning process.

Structures to enhance learning: Ways that a teacher organizes the classroom to maximize student engagement and interaction for the purpose of enhancing learning.

Evidence of Learning: Formative and summative measures to evaluate student learning; assessments.

Resources: Materials that support instruction.

Accommodations/Modifications/Extensions: Differentiations intentionally included in lesson procedures designed to meet specific needs of students in the class.

Notes/Reflections: Placeholder for important information to be included prior to lesson delivery and for post-delivery reflection; useful for making adjustment decisions prior to future delivery of same lesson.

Procedures: Activities and processes to ensure that what has been planned in terms of grouping and strategies occurs in an efficient and effective manner.

OBJECTIVE 1: POINTS TO REMEMBER

In planning for learning, we deeply align lessons based on performance/assessment standards.

Planning for learning is critical to the alignment of the full teaching and learning process.

Forethought is the intuitively powerful tool we will use to plan deeply aligned learning.

Once your schedule is complete, click NEXT and then BEGIN USING FORETHOUGHT.

*You must follow these steps to save your schedule changes

SCHEDULE STAMPING

If we master the bolded date phenomenon, master Forethought, will we. Yes.

SCHEDULE STAMPING

Before you click on a date, Forethought sees it as a blank slate.

Once you click a date, it is “stamped” with the schedule and settings you have at that time.

A date becomes bold once it is clicked and will be “protected” from any changes you may make to your schedule.

bla

nk

date

bold

d

ate

Since Yoda is now protecting the bolded dates…

If I make a change to my schedule (ex: add a new entry for a course) on October 29, I will not see that change reflected on October 30 because that date is already bold. It was stamped with a schedule I had previously.

I will see my changes reflected on October 31 because that date is blank right now. My changes will automatically apply to all future, blank dates.

SCHEDULE STAMPING

Concept Check If I make a schedule change on

October 15th, what is the earliest date I will see those changes automatically?

What does Forethought see on October 19 right now?

What will be on October 19 once I click on it?

SCHEDULE STAMPING

But I don’t want to wait…

You DO NOT have to wait until the next blank date to see your changes.

There are two options for updating your bold dates with your new settings.

Example: I change my schedule on October 29. I have two options for applying those changes to October 30.

SCHEDULE STAMPING

SCHEDULE MENU

If you DO NOT have lesson plans on a bolded date…

Open the Schedule Menu

Click “Delete Today’s Plans”

The schedule that was stamped on that date previously will be thrown out so your new schedule can be applied to the date.

SCHEDULE MENU

If you DO have lesson plans on a bolded date…

Open the Schedule Menu

You will see all of the entries on your current schedule listed

Select the entry you want to add

SCHEDULE MENU

When you add an entry to your planner…

It will add it to only that date

It will be added to the bottom of your plans

You can move it up or down in your plans (optional)

SCHEDULE MENU

To move an entry… Click inside the entry Click the wrench icon Select Move Up in Plans or Move Down in Plans You may also choose to Remove an entry from the

day’s plans

SCHEDULE MENU

Concept Check

I work with many different groups of students and just began helping a small group with 1st grade Social Studies.

I added Social Studies, Grade 1 to my planner. However, I already have a full day of plans tomorrow. How can I see my Social Studies entry tomorrow?

COURSE INTEGRATION

Integrate subject areas by switching the course curriculum so that you can work with TEKS from any of the courses you have on your schedule, no matter which course entry you are clicked in.

For example, I can be in my ELAR entry box, but switch the course so that I can integrate Social Studies TEKS into a particular ELAR lesson.

PLAN BY COURSE

Click the calendar icon to switch to the Plan By Course view

You will see the course entry for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday all on the same screen.

PLAN BY COURSE

You can plan lessons for one course for a whole week without having to change screens or relocate curriculum documents.

PLAN BY COURSE

Use the pull-down menu to switch to any course entry that is currently on your schedule.

Week View and Copy Wizard

Copy Instructional Days from year to year

We strongly recommend that you do NOT copy the entire year. There is no undo option! It is best to copy a couple weeks at a time by limiting the copy down to 10 to 15 instructional days.

Shift Lesson Plans a Day

For occasions such as an inclement weather day or an unexpected event, lesson plans can be shifted ahead one day. Shifting lesson plans will move all content up one day from the day selected to the end of the instructional year.

VIEWING AND COPYING A SHARED PLANNER

A Team Planner allows you to collaboratively plan for learning.

Each team member will copy lessons from the team planner to his or her own planner.

TEAM PLANNER

Think of the Team Planner as the table you gather around when planning with your peers.

You all leave the table and take the lesson back to your classrooms, just like you take a team plan back to your personal planners.

TEAM PLANNER

Team Planner Lessons should be copied to individual planners each day/week.

Your individual student data and spot to plan for your unique students’ needs are in your planner only.

The Team Planner does not allow Special Entries – it is just a place to collaboratively plan lessons.

Once the last team member is removed, the team is removed from the system and all team content is erased! It does not have the level of protection as does your personal planner.

Principals can view all team information and content from their computers. From the PDAS app, though, they can only see your personal plans.

TEAM PLANNER: TIPS

Adding content to a Team Planner

1. Select the entry and use the “Check out and edit” icon to check it out. (Shown above) If another team member has already checked out the lesson, you will be alerted and will have to wait until they save it.

2. The lesson becomes editable to add learning standards, attachments, etc. You will interact with the plan just like in your own planner.

3. Do not forget to save. This checks your lesson back in and protects your content.
