Lessons
1. Define Learning Goals Together:
Articulate goals of your lesson, unit, project in student friendly language (focus on verbs and nouns) Have students engage in a small group discussion, then whole class discussion to clarify. 2. Develop Success Criteria Collaboratively:
Work with students to develop specific, measurable criteria that will indicate successful achievement of the learning goals. Show exemplars (use Eduaide.ai or MagicSchool.ai for this and then save student work for other classes. Make a list of key elements and have students rank the exemplars.
Upper Elementary Math Example
3. Use Visuals and Tools to Support Understanding:
Display the learning intentions and success criteria prominently in the classroom. Use tools like Eduaide.ai, DiffIt or MagicSchool.ai (my favorite) to create rubrics, speaking and writing frames and charts that students can refer to throughout the lesson for scaffolding and support. 4. Assess and Adjust:
Regularly check in with students to assess their understanding and progress. Utilize peer assessment to save time and resources. Use formative assessments and student reflections to make necessary adjustments to the learning intentions and success criteria, ensuring they remain relevant and attainable.
