Slide8Impact on StudentsStudents are challenged to:
Read texts differently. They must analyze for claim, bias, evidence.Research what have others said on important issues or topics, think critically to develop their own claims, consider how new learning might shape their actions.
Participate effectively in collaborative discussions with a variety of peers, backing up opinions with evidence based arguments.
Slide9Tips on Implementation(Lessons Learned)
Weekly time for planning curriculum in collaborative groups is essential.Allow ample time (weeks) for teaching of performance tasks. Reconsider district pacing guides.
Incorporate time for looking at student work. What can the student do, and what are next steps? How can the lessons be refined?Select engaging, real-world, current topics. Teaches will need access to more resources than state curriculum currently provides.
