Presentation to RISC IDDFebruary 23, 2011Copper Stoll

The staff of D50 will identify any open source learning tasks and units that would align to D50 Learning Targets. If none exist, D50 staff will create learning tasks and units that would provide evidence for individual or multiple Learning Targets.

A performance task is a contextual* assessment in which a learner demonstrates proficiency or above on learning target(s) based on interest, choice, and need.

Learners use rubric(s) to meet success criteria and set goals.

*Contextual is defined as in context; real life; authentic; is not a worksheet; preparing for real life and more.

Develop project-based, real world, learning tasks /units that students can use as evidence to demonstrate multiple Learning Targets in order to accelerate student’s rate of learning.

Input into e-ducate to expedite this process for all teachers in the district.

Learning Targets to be addressed Written in kid-friendly language Unpacked into what students need to know

Instructional strategies embedded into the UbD format

Instructional strategies that differentiate and gradual release in the Teaching-Learning Cycle for:

I do, we do, you do together, you do alone Groupings Resources Approaches

Marzano and D50’s newly developed Learner-centered Art & Science Instructional Strategies:

Setting up routinesSegments that address content in specific ways Learning New Knowledge Practicing and Deepening Knowledge Testing HypothesesSegments enacted on the spot

RISC’s Instructional Design and Delivery Model

Each learning task/unit should include the following five components:

Scenario context Teacher directions for tasks Student directions for tasks Rubrics for the students to understand the

proficiency expectations prior to the learning and to be used for self-, peer-, and teacher-assessment

Exemplars of student work to show student work comparisons

Feedback and input for the piloting process to ensure validity and reliability.
