Today’s Learning Goals
The teacher will be able to
develop
a set of priority learning goals
that
are
aligned
with
Florida Assessments.
The teacher will be able to
develop
a learning scale that aligns with the learning goal and daily objectives. Slide4
Learning Scale
4.0
Scales
are cross-curricular
Students are included in the creation of LG and scales
3.0
LG and Scales are based on FS
LG and Scales are in student-friendly
language
Scales are specific to the LG
Students are able to explain the LG and scale.
Students are able to Track their progress
Teacher is able to monitor students’ progress
2.0
LG and Scales are based on FS
LG and Scales are in student-friendly
language
Scales are specific to the LG
1.0
Currently,
I use the same scale for all Learning Goals
0.0
Even
with help, no success. Slide5
DQ 1/ DQ 2/ DQ 3
Most classroom teacher evaluation systems have indicators that focus directly on proficiency in use of the instructional strategy on “Learning Goals with Scales
”. (DQ 1)
Those few that do not explicitly cite LG have other indicators or components that enable feedback on this strategy
. (DQ 2 & DQ 3)
The questions educators should ask is:
“What will I do to establish and communicate learning goals to my students, track their progress toward their goals, and celebrate success?”Slide6

Looking at Design Questions 2 and 3, which of these components may be met by establishing Learning Goals and Scales in the classroom,
with fidelity. Slide8
Why Learning Goals and Learning Scales?
Learning targets convey to students the destination for the lesson, what to learn, how deeply to learn it, and exactly how to demonstrate their new learning…….. Without a precise description of where they are headed, too many students are “flying blind
.”Slide9
Defining “Learning Goal”
Definition of Learning Goal:
A learning goal identifies what students will learn or be able to do as a result of teacher instruction
.
Learning Goals should ALWAYS be aligned to the standards being taught and assessed.
Learning Goals should be student friendly when possible.
Learning Goals should be referenced multiple times during a lesson.
Suggested format:
I can _________.
I understand _________.
I will be able to _________. Slide10
Daily Objective
DQ 2 requires teachers to break content down in to “digestible bites.” Daily Objectives are stepping stones that help the students master the standard.
Daily Objectives are a logical progression to mastering the standard.
“A learning progression is a series of related learning goals that culminate in the attainment of a more complex learning goal.” ~Marzano
So, a Daily Objective is the further breakdown of the learning goal into what the students will be expected to master by the end of the daily lesson. Slide11
Learning Goal vs. Daily Objective
Learning Goal
Daily Objective
Identifies what students will learn or be able to do over time and within a UNIT of instruction
Should be met within 1-2 daily lessons
Are created from state or national standards.
Standard
broken down into “digestible pieces”
Over-Arching/ General
Day-to-Day curricular targets that scaffold with escalating complexity and align with the difficult levels of a taxonomy and formal scaleSlide12
Learning Goal vs. Daily Objective
Learning Goal: I will be able to compare and contrast the information gained from experiments, simulations, video, or multimedia sources with that gained from reading a text on the same topic.
Daily Objectives
IWBAT identify the main idea and supporting details about ______ presented in the video ____.
IWBAT summarize the information about ___ in the video ____.
IWBAT summarize the information about ____ on pp. ____ in the textbook.
IWBAT compare and contrast information about ______ from the _____ video with information on pp. ____-______ in the textbook.
IWBAT summarize the results of the experiment on ____________. Slide13
Why Learning Scales?
The teacher is able to track students’ performances as they progress on a continuum from their initial exposure to mastery of content or procedures related to a learning goal.
Students are able to track their own performance along the same continuum.
Students need to be able to recognize when they have achieved the goal.
Scales demystify what students need to know, understand, and be able to do, in order to master essential content.Slide14
Effective Learning Scales
Scales SHOULD be:Related to the Learning Goal/ Daily Objective
Easy for the students to access
Written in student-friendly language(when appropriate)
Referenced during the lesson
Changed often to match the Learning Goal/Daily Objective
Students SHOULD be able to:
Explain the meaning of the levels of performance
Describe what level of performance they have achieved and how they know that level was achieved. Slide15
Learning Scale
A Scale is a Continuum
4.0
Application of
a much more complex version of the goal
3.0
Mastery of the Goal/Objective
2.0
Comprehension of sub skills needed
1.0
Recognition
and Recalling of information
0.0
Even with help,
no success. Slide16
Example Learning Goal and Scale
Learning Goal: Identify key steps in a text’s description of a process related to history/social studies (e.g. how a bill becomes a low)
4.0
I
am able to explain why this process is necessary in the democratic process.
3.0
I am able to identify the key
steps in the process of how a bill comes a law in the correct order.
2.0
I can identify
the key steps in the process of how a bill becomes a law, but I still need to work on putting them in order
1.0
I
can explain the difference between a “bill” and a “law”, but, I still need help identifying the key steps in how a bill becomes a law.
0.0
I
cannot identify the key steps in the process. I cannot explain the difference between a “bill” and a “law”.Slide17
How to Develop Learning Scales
Begin with the end in mind. KNOW what you want the students to be able to accomplish at the end of the day/unit.
A scale format:
0.0: Even with help, no success
1.0 : Representative of the assistance needed or basic knowledge a student demonstrates
2.0: A simpler goal. One that needs to be met before mastering the goal. (Remember, this is a logical progression. What knowledge is needed to master the goal?)
3.0: The target goal is placed here. This is your learning goal/ daily objective
4.0: A more complex comprehension and application of the target goal. Slide18
Activity
Choose one of your standards. Create a daily objective based on that standard.
Create a 4.0 scale based on the daily objective Slide19
Final Words on Goals and Scales
Make sure Learning Goals/ Daily Objectives/ Learning Scales are:
Aligned with the standards being taught
Referenced multiple times during a lesson
Written in student-friendly language
Explained to, and by, students
Rigorous and focus on student performance as well as knowledge acquisition
Not written as “I can teach this” at a 4.0 level
Changed as Goals are met
