Students need to understand the goals so they can better work through their questions.

They will know "where we are going." jp

The more students are investing in and understand Stage 1, the more ownership they have in their learning. And the more likely they will be able to make connections with Enduring Understandings, daily content goals, and larger WCO learning.

2014-06-09 20:20:49 UTC

Students start with an end in mind. They know where the target is...

2014-06-09 20:20:55 UTC

Students will understand the "why" of what we are doing.

Have students understand the importance of stage 1 in order to make connections throughout the unit with the E.Q.'s, WCO's, and Enduring Understandings.

Karen: They can create connections to their own contexts and understanding which allows them to then connect to the content as well. It's from their point of view.

Gleeson: If students know why we are doing something, they are more likely to buy in to what we are doing. They can then create connections and take more ownership.

Gossel- My goal is to make sure that students understand that what they are learning

amandan_gossel — 2014-06-09 20:22:25 UTC

is something that they can apply to things in their everyday lives. The content is important but how they learn the content is the most important

Hopefully will help them

I'm excited to implement more differentiated world class outcomes based on data. I'm curious about what this might look like and eager explore this.

Benson: This part will drive their learning give them an understand of why we're doing what we're doing in each activity and assessment

jpbenson — 2014-06-09 20:22:43 UTC

Hier: Understanding of stage 1 will "soften" their brains to allow stage 3 to sink in and make them successful in stage 2.

2014-06-09 20:22:45 UTC

Students are driving the learning and outcomes.

2014-06-09 20:22:53 UTC

Z: It is essential that they understand why they are doing something and how they can be successful at meeting expectations.

2014-06-09 20:23:10 UTC

Rider: You have to have students repeatedly praacctice the WCOs in class, not just repeat them. The EUs should be embedded into the WCOs so that in their practicing the WCOs they will gain a deeper understanding of the EUs

2014-06-09 20:23:17 UTC

I think they will understand the "why" of what we are doing.

2014-06-09 20:24:02 UTC

John: Students will have a road map as to where we are going.

2014-06-09 20:24:13 UTC

They know where the target is

Students will also be able to better connect curriculum with what they need to know to be successful in our world

Morris: It helps them to focus on the goal(s) of the unit and drives their understanding of what they need to understand.

Schurich:

If students know what they need to do and how it relates to them they will be able to see the big picture much better.

Doyle: They have a better understanding of where they should be on a daily basis/weekly/Unit.

2014-06-09 20:24:46 UTC

Saunders: Students are able to assess themselves better to see if/when they have reached the target goals, especially if they are involved in writing the EUs in their own words - they have more ownership all the way through the process.

2014-06-09 20:24:49 UTC

Peterson: Students will understand where we are going and how we are going to get there.

2014-06-09 20:24:52 UTC

They know where they are headed and can see the connectivity among all classes that they study.

My students' understanding of components of stage 1 helps them understand the outcomes as well as why they are learning what they are learning

Prender- The students will understand where the unit is going and what the overall goal is.

2014-06-09 20:26:15 UTC

Harvey - Students will be able to communicate the essential question in their own words and be able to connect the essential question to the both our class and the real world.

2014-06-09 20:27:00 UTC

Wiederstein- Students will gain a deeper understanding by making my level 1 a living part of my class

There will be more investiment from the students since they will know the why
