Learning Intentions
© 2011 by Mark Sample
Clear Learning Intentions
A process I have used:
1. Photocopy “Suggested Achievement Indicators”
2. Re-write/Revise to make “student friendly”
3. Separate into Know’s & Do’s
4. Articulate the “Big Ideas” using KUD
5. Make a “flashy” newsletter

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Motivated by love or by fear What do you need for this to be successful? How will I know that we been successful? My job is NOT to tell My job is to facilitate your conversation (with various prompts)
  • #6 Positive Deviance
  • #8 32000 students 10 districts 100 schools Across Canada Grade 6 -12 Canadian Education Institute
  • #9 Adolescent learners experience high levels of intellectual engagement when they encounter school work that is challenging, has practical and intellectual value, and engages them in authentic tasks similar to those that mathematicians, artists, or other professionals would pursue. School work of this nature is “worthwhile of students’ time and attention” and can bring about deep personal commitment and enthusiasm on the part of both teachers and students to investigate ideas, problems or questions for sustained periods (Friesen, 2009, p. 5). 2012 image Not sure about data below 32000 students Across Canada Grade 6 -12 Canadian Education Institute
  • #11 You know your kids better than me “Do they do the work if you don’t count it for marks?”
  • #12 The school, a small junior high school in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, offers Grades 7–9 to a relatively low socio-economic group of approximately 270 students. It follows the provincial curriculum and is required to follow a regional school-improvement framework. Beginning in the 2007–08 school year, the school established learning goals and developed innovations aimed at increasing students’ experiences of intellectual engagement in learning. The change process at the school was led by the principal, whose desire to improve patterns of engagement and achievement at the school led her to become an enthusiastic early adopter of What did you do in school today? She quickly recognized that teaching for intellectual engagement required practices and ways of thinking that were new to most teachers at the school, and that it would take time to replace old norms with new approaches to teaching for engaged learning.  
  • #13 teacher/student relations classroom disciplinary climate, expectations for success were all correlated with annual gains in intellectual engagement Canada 10 districts 100 schools ~30,00 students What about international larger scale studies? High expectations for success positive teacher/student relations had strong relationships to gains in levels of intellectual engagement. • Classroom disciplinary climate had a still-significant but weaker relationship to gains.
  • #14 Remember – we want to be strategic about our change. Positive Deviance
  • #15 Anaylsis of 800 Meta-analysis’ of 180,000 individual studies
  • #18 Formative Evaluation es 0.9 (teacher receiving and acting on feedback) Class size es=0.20 Expectations WITH SUPPORT? With informed evidence based practices?
  • #21 Handout Judy & Linda “Key Questions Document” Use visibly random grouping to form 10 groups. Read through & discuss
  • #22 Rita youtube video?
  • #24 Going further and more systematically/intentionally
  • #39 Positive Deviance
