Participants will explore the Behaviors for Learning and Teaching continuum, a tool that can help teachers to improve student motivation, engagement and empowerment, understanding and achievement. In this interactive session participants will explore the entire continuum through a jigsaw activity. After regrouping, participants will share out and discuss which learning behavior/element(s) would provide the most leverage in moving students toward college and career readiness in their academy.
4. • Introduce Behaviors of Learning and
Teaching framework
• Identify high leverage opportunities to shift
student learning behaviors and related
teaching behaviors
• Hear how other teams have used the BLTs
Session Objectives

5. What learning behaviors should we see?
Ready for college
Ready for career
Ready for life
In the College and Career ready student -

time management
self motivated
self-directed
pro active
accountability
initiative
perseverence
grit
responsibility
10. 1. Introduce yourselves
2. Identify the student behavior continuum and all
other parts of the framework
3. Discuss the developmental progression of each
behavior and its relevance in relation to college
and career readiness
4. Discuss how the framework can be used to
support design of curriculum and instruction
5. Be prepared to share a classroom example that
illustrates your element
Element Group Task
11. REPORT OUT
Share a story that illustrates your element AND
Describe how the framework might be used in the classroom

Questions?
In Development…
Ask for responses from audience
Gather a list and then transition to BLT overview
Over the course of many months, ConnectEd convened instructional leaders from all the districts within the LL DI to discuss that same question, and unsurprisingly, they came up a very similar responses. After synthesizes all the responses, the behaviors of learning and teaching framework was organized into five elements:
(hopefully) you’ll see many of the student behaviors you identified here on this list
Choose one of the five elements to explore in depth
Each team should have at least one member for each element
Reorganize into “jigsaw” groups
Performance assessment is outcomes-aligned
Students must be measured along a continuum towards proficiency in meeting pathway outcomes – via common rubric, common criteria, etc.
Students must have multiple opportunities for feedback to revise work until it meets proficiency expectations
Students should reflect upon their growth towards meeting outcomes and therefore towards college and career goals
Give all the single sheets during share out
On the back for each element on student learning behaviors continuum, there are associated teaching strategies. If we want to support learning behaviors, there are implications for teaching
Give all the single sheets during share out
While the arrow points TO summative in the last frame, in the DESIGN PROCESS – GOES BACKWARDS.
Start with the outcomes
Map the outcomes at varying levels of rigor and complexity – benchmarks/milestones – where students should be at a point in time.
Develop rubrics that are high level, and map to the benchmarks
Design those into grade level projects
This process takes time! One step at a time.
