The Who, What, and Why of Learning Targets and Reflections-Region2 by Jamillah

I noticed how important it is for teachers to articulate the learning targets throughout the lesson.

I noticed the importance of students and teachers being aware the results from using learning targets.

Character traits

I'm interested in thinking on what supports or scaffolds we will need to add to math, so that the character traits from EL (for example) translate to math.

This document shares how teachers and students utilize learning targets for progress of learning.

I noticed the link between learning targets and student engagement.

I noticed the learning target trackers and how helpful that would be to engage students over time.

I notice that there is a focus on the student including character growth.

Leveraging Model Teachers in WCPSS

I wonder how we can leverage the county's work around the learning walk tools to highlight model examples of effective uses of learning targets outside of our buildings around the county.

I noticed how inclusive it is of students and the importance of them assessing their progress along the way.

I am excited about an additional resource for teachers as this is a focus that we have been working on as well as how to unpack this for our instructional practices committee so that we know what to look for when we are conducting learning rounds. Great discussion starters for PLCs

Students turn in written checks for understanding.

I noticed that we are going to support students with connecting to the bigger picture (How Daily targets connect to the Long Term Targets).

No More Slides!

I agree that unpacking needs to be off the slide deck and live with students on the board!

It is important that teachers and students revisit learning targets throughout the lesson.

Making sure that unpacked learning targets are visible during the entire lesson.

How to support teachers with circling back to the learning target within the lesson and at the end of the lesson?

I want to encourage teachers intentionally plan when and where they will introduce and revisit learning targets as they are planning together.

The Power of Annotation

I can see annotation is powerful in unpacking learning targets more effectively. I want to continue conversation within PLCs about how we can scaffold annotations for emerging readers so learning targets can be globally accessible.

Learning targets give students ownership in their learning - it is important for them to know what/why they are learning, not just what activity they are participating in.

anking7 — 2024-11-22 17:13:31 UTC

The work of making learning targets an active part of our instruction is the work of building student capacity, ownership, and engagement.

Where are there both organic and more formalized opportunities to invite our staff into this work?
