Brain Based Research

Brain Based Research. It is better to teach smaller chunks, and have students practice independently, than to teach large objectives that cannot be reached. Tells us that we forget up to 80% of what we learn within 24 hours if we do not practice it.

  1. Brain Based Research • It is better to teach smaller chunks, and have • students practice independently, than to • teach large objectives that cannot be reached. • Tells us that we forget up to 80% of what we • learn within 24 hours if we do not practice it.

  2. Critical Attributes of the Learning Objective • Includes a skill (verb) and a concept (noun) derived from content standard • Matches independent practice • Presented to students in understandable language • Can be completed in one lesson

  3. Examples of Effective Learning Objectives • ELA: Identify similes in literary works • Math: Graph ordered pairs • Science: Identify three states of matter • History: Determine absolute locations using latitude and longitude

  4. Example of a Deconstructed Standard Sample Deconstructed Standard: ELA: Identify similes in literary works 4th Grade: Literary Response and Analysis 3.5 Define figurative language (e.g., simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification) and identify its use in literary works.

  5. Steps for Deconstructing Standards Identify verbs (skills) and label with a capital letter: A, B, C, etc. Identify nouns (concepts) and label with a number Match each letter with a number (i.e. A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3)

  6. Step 1: Identify Verbs (A, B, C) Step 2: Identify Nouns (1, 2, 3) A 1 3.5 Define figurative language (e.g., simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification) and identify its use in literary works. 4 2 3 B

  7. Step 3: Match Letter with Number A 1 2 3 3.5 Define figurative language (e.g., simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification) and identify its use in literary works. 4 B (A1) Define simile • (A2) Define metaphor • (A3) Define hyperbole • (A4) Define personification • (B1) Identify simile in literary works • (B2) Identify metaphor in literary works • (B3) Identify hyperbole in literary works • (B4) Identify personification in literary works

  8. TTTTT Let’s Deconstruct One Together 2nd Grade ELA Lit Response 3.4 Identify the use of rhythm, rhyme, and alliteration in poetry. Do: Step 1: Identify Verbs Step 2: Identify Nouns Step 3: Match Verbs and Nouns

  9. Questions to Ask Myself About the Learning Objective Have I deconstructed this standard to an achievable, clear, measurable, learning goal? At the end of today’s lesson, what is the matching independent practice that students will complete to prove to me they met the objective?

  10. A Cautionary Note! Beware of: • Objectives that are too broad, too vague or • do not match the independent practice (this • is all usually a function of the verb) • Using verbs like: Know, Learn, Understand, • Introduce, Discuss, Examine…..

  11. “Students who can identify what they are learning significantly outscore those who cannot.” -Robert Marzano
