Editor's Notes
- Insert webinar info from Kristin, Welcome . My name is Jackie Loiacono I am an educator who is passionate about improving teaching and learning for all students. As an educational consultant I have had the luxury of partnering with school districts across the country training in the Learning 360 Framework., the model that I utilized within my classroom and transformed the impact on student success.I appreciate your time today and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to continue this series, which explores practical, doable and relevant information for us to attain the kind of effective teaching and learning necessary to create conditions for students to reach the rigorous Common Core standards. In the first webinar, we created Quality Learning Targets that are derived from the Common Core Standards according to the necessary components as defined within the Learning 360 Framework. Today we will zoom in and dive into those targets and become masters at developing the targets..
- A couple of announcements before we get started:You will need a piece of paper and something to write with during this webinar, so please get those materials so you are prepared.Kristen from School Improvement Network is on supporting me today and is happy to respond to a need you may have place a chat in the box and she will answer any questions you may have.We will be holding a drawing after the webinar for all those who fill out the survey by the end of the day Monday, March 26. We’ll be selecting a handful of winners of free Learning Targets Poster Sets (which you might be referring to in the webinar?)2. To fill out a survey, they can wait until the end of the presentation, and a survey will appear on their screen. If they need to leave early, they can fill out the survey using a link that will be emailed to them later today.3. If they’d like, we can set up a phone consultation to discuss their specific needs and give them more detailed information about Learning Framework training. If they set up a consultation, they can save $1,000 on training if they decide to pursue it.
- Here is our essential question which is applicable to the entire series, a question to think about and as we continue to move through the presentation the goal is to be better able to answer the question that you would be at the beginning of this presentation so lets get started!.
- Our learning targets for today are
- Read of slide
- Briefly references in the previous Webinar, we looked at the mission statement of the Common Core Standards. as educators we agree with the importance and necessity of preparing our students to be college and career ready. The tracks have been laid defining the standards that are required for our learners to reach those life goals. An analogy common core standards are the train tracks which laying the foundation for a Heading to the desired destination, powerful learning….The Learning 360 framework is the solid well oiled machine, the engine that drives and assists students and teachers to arrive to that desired place.The connection between Common Core Standards and the Learning 360 Framework it is the power and the means to facilitating the students journey to the desired destinations. It is the framework to teach effectively.
- To summarize the relationship we can compare the two…. A process making all practices: INTENTIONALKey Questions: what do we want? are we doing what we need to get what we want?3 aligned components immersed in an environment of high expectations and success; Key research on teaching and learning aggregated and aligned in one simple framework .
- Here is the visual that depicts the 3 major components that comprise the Learning Framework. These three were referred to in the first webinar, today we will dive deeper, zoom into the specific components of the Learning Target and learn how to construct them. Assessment and instruction are topics discussed in later webinars.So Why are Learning Targets Important? Unlike learning objectives that are part of our planning process the student friendly learning target
- Here are the required pieces of The LT . Align Targets to Standard(Common Core and State) Thinking & Process Skills Big Rock Concepts Guiding/Essential Questions VisibilityStudent FriendlyBenefits of This Gives students a visual of the “big picture” of learning.Simplifies curriculum content so students see it as “doable.”Insures that students will be engaged in “higher level thinking” because a Process Skill word is in the target.Major concepts in the target are broad enough to create relevance and connections to other learning.Big Rock Concepts lets learn why and how to identify them.
- You will need a pencil and a piece of paper for this activity…The directions are as follows, I am going to give you 10 seconds to look at an image. Your job is to look at it and be able to recreate it when I say stop. Do not draw during the 15 seconds simply look and study the image. …….ready go (click)
- Let’s try another learning task……The directions remain the same, I am going to give you 10 seconds to look at an image. Your job is to look at it and be able to recreate on your paper it when I say stop. No writing tools in your hand at this time simply study. Do not draw during the 10 seconds simply look and study the image. …….ready (give wait time) GO! click
- Patterns are all around of us and again are pleasing to our understanding.Curriculum intentionally designed around patterns is conducive to how the brain learns. Your increased success in this activity demonstrates the difference…..So why not design curriculum in order for all students to experience this same success, hence the big Rock Concept and pattern allows students to make sense of all the factoids and ideas tied to our content areas. The Big Rock Concept and pattern acts as the rack to hang the content parts to in order to make sense of the new leearning.So how do we identify the Big Rocks of my curriculum?
- I want to caution all of you that this part of the learning target is typically the most difficult for us to wrap our brains around. I lived this and know what a mind shift I had to allow in order to view my content in this way. Traditionally we learn history , math, science, English in ways that do not intentionally show the larger picture and concepts. We typically learn all the stuff and I think the belief is that if you understand all the stuff with in say history you will eventually be able to decipher the big ideas or concepts ….Lets look at it from a different angle…. Big Picture first then new ideas knowledge that can be connected to that picture! Brain friendly equals effective learning!!I viewed history via timeline, via chapters in my text book instead of …….in this manner…Take a look above looking down upon all your content factoids, (Mexico City) from the perspective of pulling out the patterns that unify the random facts….connection to random lines and connected lines. Great PLC discussion with peers. More textbooks are identifying “themes”
- Filter and characteristics to consider in the process of identifying the big Rock concepts: A big Rock concept is a major concept that is embedded in curriculum standards and provides a focus for learning throughout a unit and over a sequence of lessons.

Here are examples of the classroom materials which support the learning 360 framework and allow for student centered learning. Student friendly target with key components and the additional visual which allows the student to self assess throughout the lesson. Quality learning targets as we discussed include guiding questions. Concept paterns

This pattern is transferable to 1st grade where students cc standards ask them to solve equations more complex than kindergarten . Do you think it would be beneficial for students to be a

- Lets shift gears and take a look at the English common core standards.
- Again according to David Sousa in How the Brain Learns he discusses the importance of studenets creating a range of questions low to high level. “When designing questions of varying complexity, students engage in deeper cognitive processing, clarify concepts and predict meaning and associations…all contributors to retention!!
- Creating the conditions for student success engaging students and enrichment …………Common Core an opportunity for educators to align learning outcomes that are representative of what skills and understandings are for college and career and Life skills. How long have we talked about 21stcnetury what they are and how vauable they are for our learners to be able to exhibit for future success. We probably all have them mentioned within our mission statements etc….. How ever I challenge to us to think about if we are truly seeing students graduating with those skills mastered. Common Core reestablishes the importance of our learners being ready and the necessity and how imparitive it is that we as educators create consitions within the classroom to facilitate those skills to be understood and mastered. What is the gap? The gap lies somewhere between the place we have these discussions a dn the classroom.
