1 Session Goal

Participants will deepen their understanding of lesson planning with formative assessment principles

2 What we will accomplish:

 Each member in a group of three will discuss their use of the Learning Intentions form and receive comments from other group members

 Panel discussion featuring MTSs and MTLs

 Practice the process again, using a 3rd grade lesson from Scott Foresman

 Summarize learning experience

3 Revisiting Last Month’s Work

Focus on the Learning Team Continuum and the 1st Four Assessment Principles

Turn and talk to your shoulder partner.

State the 1st four formative assessment principles in your own words

4 Protocol for working in groups

5 Facilitator Summary Discussion

6 MTS/MTL Panel Discussion

 How did this process change the way you plan a lesson?

 How did this process support your classroom teaching?

 How did this process support student learning and motivation?

7 Examining a Scott Foresman Lesson

In teams, read the Scott Foresman 3rd grade lesson 6-1.

Complete Part 1  Important Mathematics to Develop  Learning Target / Descriptors  Student Friendly Language  Success Criteria

Complete Part 2 and 3  To access student background knowledge  To push student(s) thinking  To help the student summarize the important ideas from the lesson

Final Discussion

10  How can I use this process in my school “system”?

 How does this process relate to Leadership of Self and Leadership of Others?

11 Conclusions

MTLs/MTSs using this in classrooms have noticed a difference in teaching practice and student learning.

Using formative assessment principles when lesson planning brings formative assessment into classrooms on a day-to-day basis.

A formative assessment system is more than CABS and descriptive feedback.

12 Group Expectations:

 One person volunteers to present their lesson plan.

 The group members listen and take notes of the positive aspects and any other points of interest.

 Honor the presenting teacher by saving any comments until s/he is finished.

 Jot down questions to ask later during open discussion.
