Foundation of the Lesson • The starting place for all effective instruction is designing and communicating clear learning goals • Scales provide a clear direction for students • Scales set the stage for assessments and provide students with effective feedback
Writing Effective Learning Goals • State what students should learn over the course of a unit • Derived from the content standards • Broken down into Declarative and Procedural Knowledge • Students will understand X • Students will be able to Y
Well Written Goals Are… • Challenging but attainable by students • Designed at different levels of complexity
Learning Goal Example • Students will understand the dynamics involved in stretching specific muscles and be able to demonstrate proper form
Scales • Level 3 is your Target Goal for the class • Leveled 1-4 in a hierarchy • Build in complexity utilizing Marazno’s New Taxonomy of Knowledge Utilization
Goals to Scales • Write your targeted learning goal based upon your content standard • Identify knowledge that is easier than the targeted learning goal • Identify knowledge that is more complex than the targeted learning goal
Learning Goal Example • Targeted Goal: Students will be able to multiply a two-digit number by another two-digit number • Easier Goal: Students will be able to multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number • Complex Goal: Students will be able to multiply a number with three or more digits by a two-digit number
