  2. Learning target • Let’s share and put our school’s College and Career Ready Standards / Common Core State Standards implementation puzzle together. • Let's reflect over where we are and where we are going!

  3. What are student learning maps ? (slm) • Definition: • A graphic organizer that visually shows the key concepts, skills, essential questions, and vocabulary to be learned in the unit. When used in the classroom, it guides and organizes instruction, and launches learning unit as an advance organizer. It allows students to visualize what you most want them to remember after the unit has been taught. Student Learning Maps are about curriculum and are created by the teacher.

  4. AQTS-educate Alabama Using Instructional Strategies to Engage Learners 2.5 - Engages learners in developing and monitoring goals for their own learning and behavior. (The Strategic Learner)

  5. Unmistakable Impact and The Target How does Know-Understand-Do (KUD) and Student Learning Maps tie to our One Page Instructional Improvement Target? Pg. 59-63

  6. WHY student learning maps? Student Learning Maps combine 3 of the top 5 strategies that most impact achievement.

  7. 5 reasons WHY the SLM is so important? • It’s an excellent communication device • Teachers can pass copies of the SLMs to extra-help teachers using acceleration with their students such as any special education, ESL, or aides.

  8. 2. It provides for a higher level of unit planning • It helps you plan better and higher quality units because you have to conceptualize the content of your unit before developing instructional strategies and activities. Teachers who conceptualize and understand what students should know and be able to do at the end of a unit provide higher quality and more consistent learning activities for students.

  9. 3.It enables more consistent curriculum pacing and planning across teachers • Teachers meeting in grade level teams or departmental or interdisciplinary teams develop SLM and or Curriculum Maps and consider pacing options together. Then, even if they PLAN individually, they are all starting from the same concepts and pacing considerations.

  10. 4. Teachers use it to select and present vocabulary • Students learn the vocabulary up front of the readings and discussions. They continue to look at and visualize new content through the Student Learning Map and key vocabulary.

  11. 5.It enables students to build knowledge across time and keep track of their learning • Teachers add to the SLM across the unit by adding the focus or essential questions (learning targets for us) to their lessons, referring to the map as they teach, and helping students use it as a summarizing and study tool to increase learning. The SLM is completed for the unit and is visible in the room when the unit starts.

  12. How does a SLM accelerate learning? • The idea of providing prior knowledge BEFORE instruction in the regular lesson is the basis for acceleration (SLM, Before strategies, vocab preview) • Acceleration provides a scaffold for new learning that increases success and learning during regular lessons. • This works with all students! Main Lesson Acceleration Remediation/Review

  13. How do I create a slm? • Complete a K-U-D organizer or process (Know-Understand-Do) • Determine the Key Learning (the Understand of the KUD) • Develop the UNIT essential question that reflects the Key Learning (what is BIG, important idea you want the students to answer?) • Determine the concepts that will be addressed in the unit • Develop the learning targets (they call them learning essential questions) • Identify key vocabulary
