I think my students understand the learning targets and my expectations of what they are supposed to know at the end of the lesson. However, the area for revision I need will now focus on is checking for understanding throughout the lesson. I really liked how the teacher let his students know if they did not understand or needed more clarification there would be a chance to go into the lesson further.

In English 10, we have implemented learning targets and dissecting standards at the beginning of the lesson. We have noticed an immense growth in student ownership, coupled with EOC results and Power Hour remediation

When students do think-pair-share, they tend to put the learning in easier to understand language which helps the teacher make sure the concept is understood by a majority of the students.

The essential question should be clearly posted and discussed at the beginning of class, however it is important to always circle back. At the end of the day- can we answer it now? what questions do you still have?

Learning targets should be written in kid friendly terms. They should start as "I can" statements. Students should help unpack the learning targets. Learning targets should be brief statements that say what students should be learning.

Learning Targets are used in my class in two different ways. sometimes I write the learning target and the students and I will discuss it and other times the students will write their own learning target.

# data[].attributes.body
All students must know the learning target. Ideally, students should be taking ownership of their learning target. They can demonstrate this ownership by utilizing fist to five as a form of self assessment. They also can verbally articulate or write down the strategies they used to achieve this learning target.

# data[].attributes.body
I could ensure that learning targets are more visible from a written vs. verbal perspective every day, but we frequently discuss them in class and what their purpose is in performance.

# data[].attributes.body
I use learning targets but they are very general and there is definitely room for revision- I can make them more streamlined on a daily basis and break them down into smaller increments.

Essential question posted every day on the board. An improvement would be to go more in depth within the question and then revisit the question after the lesson is over.

# data[].attributes.body
Students use learning targets daily in my classroom-I refer to them as Essential Questions and daily Goals. They are somewhat effective but I liked the comments from the first video where the students explained how their learning targets are based as "I can" statements. I think my students could feel empowered by this terminology and they would take hold of their own learning more.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I am using learning targets but they are highly guide by the APUSH framework. Can I improve, yeas. I need work more with the unpacking and making sure the students understand them before working.

# data[].attributes.body
I use learning targets every day. The learning targets (EQ) are posted on my class website for the students to view daily. They are effective because the students know the goals for the lesson. They can always be revised and adjusted.

Example EQs =
Why would a designer choose a vector graphic for a project?
What are methods to produce vector graphics?
What makes a film or short video good or bad?
What are some important elements of a good quality film?
What skills and/or knowledge is necessary to produce a quality film?

# data[].attributes.body
I use learning targets everyday with my students by having them state what three things they have learned at the end of the lesson. This helps them remember the lesson that we have just reviewed and helps them ask additional questions as needed

# data[].attributes.headline
I use learning targets daily (essential questions), I open the lesson by restating the essential question in student friendly language, then as a closing the students answer the essential questions.

I use learning targets each day; however, I have posted as EQs. In each class the student should be prepared to answer the EQ when we review the days assignments/classwork.

Learning targets sound similar to essential questions. In my classroom students begin by reading the essential question to help them understand that by the end of the lesson they should be able to answer that essential question! Answering the essential question at the end of a lesson is an excellent activity because it highlights several aspects of WICOR at one time. They're writing a response, sharing their information with a neighbor or the class, and reading through their notes for information again.

# data[].attributes.body
I call my learning Targets the AIM. The Aim is a question that students should be able to answer by the end of the lesson. For example, if we are working on the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, The  AIM would look something like this:

AIM: How did Christopher Columbus' discovery of the New World impact the social order of the natives he encountered while providing economic opportunities for future explorers?

I use learning targets in my classroom by breaking down the objective and writing the steps that students and I will complete in their agenda for today. Collaboration is not just for the students in the class, but for the students and teacher as a team. Writing learning targets which outline the roles that each member will play in the learning on any given day helps students to be able to assess their own learning and also helps the teacher be able to assess student learning and lesson success.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning targets are short term goals that state what students are expected to know and be able to do at the end of a lesson or unit. I create the students' learning targets each day. Before instruction, I review this target with students and see if they can link this concept to their prior knowledge. In the future, I would like my students to have more responsibility and focus on their individual learning targets. I would like to implement this shift and have students build their self-efficacy.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning targets are a great tool to give direction to my lesson and have been set as a procedure in my classroom. Students know where we are going (what the focus is) and why we are learning it (how it pertains to them). However, I think that I could do a better job of stopping throughout the lesson to refer back to it rather than addressing it at the beginning and then moving on.

# data[].attributes.body
I address the learning target during class every day. One revision I could make though is, at the beginning of a unit, have the class discuss the learning target and what we're going to be looking at throughout the unit. I can also do a fist to five at the end of a unit to see if there is anything I need to focus more attention on before we move on.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning targets / E.Q.'s are specific to the lesson and material we are going to be working with that day. Throughout the lesson we refer back to it with more supporting evidence to add to its "answer".

# data[].attributes.body
Learning targets help students reflect on their learning. It provides them with ownership of their learning and helps create a student driven lesson.

I mostly utilize Learning Targets as they relate to Essential Questions. With each new topic, I show the students what I expect for them to learn from the various terminology in the objectives. I have a hard time allowing students to "unpack" their learning targets because I'm teaching them something different each day. Due to the large amount of standards and topics I need to cover, I struggle with leaving time for them to discuss how they feel about an idea prior to learning it. Another struggle I have is making the essential questions rigorous due to their not knowing the basic terms and processes.

Learning targets are students centered objectives. Learning targets are effective in FACS classes. I use them everyday.

I already use Learning Targets in the form of Essential Questions. They help students to know what they are expected to learn that day. I think sometimes my EQ's are not broad enough or thought-provoking enough.

Claire Bigelow: With English 2 classes, we've seen tremendous increase in students' "buy-in" as we have been going over the learning targets at the beginning of class. We started doing this at the recommendation of Mrs. Friebel, our content support coach from the county office.

Learning Target: I help students understand the learning target and help fill gaps in the learning to help them fully understand the target for that day.

Learning targets increase student "buy in" in the classroom. They should be specific and observable; something they now, understand, or are able to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Our learning targets are made available to the students with each lesson; the targets are referred to as objectives.

Learning targets are similar to essential questions. Normally, mine are vague but I want to improve them by focusing more on each specific day. They can be very effective for student learning by providing the "why" for a student and creating an end goal for the day.

Already using Learning Targets called Essential Questions in daily instruction. There is always room for improvement as sometimes the Learning Target can be confusing or too broad of a target and it needs to be narrowed down. As part of the Learning Target, I have found that the fist to 5 is an excellent tool for me in seeing where students are in understanding certain concepts and where I need to repeat and do over.

Evidence. Effectiveness, is there room for revisions in my classroom.

The effectiveness of learning targets- Learning targets have been effective in my classroom particularly in the area of collaboration. Students motivate one another and answer each others questions which builds peer moral and more open discussion of topics. Just as in the videos my students do lots of collaboration because they can provide each other with some student level answers.

Need to discuss the essential question at the start of the unit instead of just answering the essential question within the unit. Implementing the fist to five in lessons would be more beneficial instead of doing only an assessment. In the second video the elementary students would ask different levels of questions and show their reasoning and questioning and my students need more practice asking higher level questions and making connections because we seem to be stuck in the lower level of questions out of comfort.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, learning targets are posted daily in my classroom and by the end of the period my students are required to answer their learning target as a daily learning log. The learning targets are usually the big idea I need the students to understand that day and are also used as quiz questions through the Unit for repetition purposes.
