  3. Student Learning Map Topic: Learning Focused Strategies Key Learning: The Learning-Focused Strategies Model provides a planning framework that when implemented with quality transforms standards from “words in a document” into learning for all students. Unit EQ: How do I use the Learning-Focused Strategies planning framework to transform standards into learning? Standards, essential questions, concepts

  4. Word Map Outline 1: LFS What is it like? What is it?(Write the definition) Learning-Focused Framework The Word What are some examples?

  5. It is a model that provides a planning framework for thinking about, planning, and delivering instruction using exemplary practices with a focus on learning. Goals: Continuous Improvement Consistent and Pervasive Quality What is the Learning-Focused Strategies Model?

  6. Collaborative Pairs Exemplary Practice #1

  7. With your partner, which strategy is most important? Learning Focused Solutions research states…

  8. For every Lesson Essential Question (LEQ)you should have an Acquisition Lesson with 2-4 higher level extended thinking questions and/or activitiesor an Extended Thinking Lesson (EMTS) Lesson Essential Question(s) Vocabulary Top 8Extended Thinking StrategiesInclude 2-4 extended thinking activities and/or questions in acquisition lesson to “extend” or transfer previously learned concepts, skills, or knowledge. AbstractingAnalyzing Perspectives Classifying/CategorizingComparing/Contrasting Constructing Support Deductive ReasoningError AnalysisInductive Reasoning Concepts • What should a lesson contain? • *Acquisition lesson is used to teach a NEW concept/skill/knowledge in order to answer the LEQ. • *Activating strategies are used to activate or build background knowledge as well as to model/preview vocabulary, thinking strategies, and graphic organizers that may be new in the unit. Best planned after the teaching strategies. • *Graphic Organizers: You should have one in every lesson---not necessarily a new one. It can be an LFS graphic organizer or one you have created or found. • *Teaching Strategies: Instruction should be before the assessment prompt (distributed summarizing). • Teach > Assessment prompt > Teach > Assessment prompt > Teach > Assessment prompt …2-4 extended thinking questions or activities should be included in each lesson • *Summarizing: Should be distributed throughout the lesson—not just at the end! Key to knowing when and what to re-teach! • *Summarizing Strategies: should be written most of the time, not oral to answer the LEQEx: KWL, 3-2-1, $2.00 summary, learning logs, etc. Unit EQ Key Learning Develop SLM DevelopKUD Common Core Standards Quick reference created by Jennifer Bower, SMS ELA Teacher, and approved by Carol Gardner based on LFS by Max Thompson 8/28/2011
