Outside Task #1 - Sharing  Briefly share your observations about your student.  Which skills did you see him/her demonstrate?  Which skills from your TIF category will he/she need to develop further?  How can you provide this practice? Transitions Integration Framework 6 ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

How do you know it’s working?  Evidence of Student Learning is the observable student demonstration of skill and knowledge development  For example: a student completes a Venn Diagram comparing current technology with that of the early 1900s. You have ‘evidence’ that the student knows about technology in both eras and understands how to compare and contrast. 7 ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

Finding Evidence of Student Learning ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September  Open a new tab in your web browser.  Access the video: Link:  Watch the first 12 to 13 minutes of the video.  Note evidence of student learning on the grid (handout p. 21) as well as what you observe that is NOT evidence.  Return to the webinar in 15 minutes  Be prepared to chat with your PLC Partner about your observations.

Chat with your PLC Partner… ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September  What ‘evidence’ can you use to evaluate your TIF-ed lessons?  What are ways to improve our evaluation of TIF-ed lessons by using student evidence?  Share with the larger group What evidence of student learning did you observe in the video? What did you observe that was NOT evidence of student learning? Share out with the Group…

Taking our TIF Temperature! How did your TIF-ed lesson go?  Totally hot!  Got hotter than I thought!  Not so hot…  Needed my parka… 10 ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

TIF-ed Lesson: Try it Out! – Outside Task #2  Briefly share your TIF-ed Lesson experience.  Identify your category and give a brief description of your lesson, including the TIF skills you addressed.  What was the highlight of the lesson?  What ‘evidence’ of student learning did you observe? 11 ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

TIF-ing the Classroom! What are some ways that TIF skills can be integrated into an instructional setting regardless of lesson content? 12 ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

TIF-ing the Classroom: Definitions of TIF-ing Methods  Routines: a sequence of actions regularly followed; a routine process  Norms: standards of acceptable behavior; expectations within a specified context  Learning Task Formats: routine structures for activities and tasks that provide practice of lesson content  Language: vocabulary and language structures that are necessary to effectively address a specified TIF skill  Technology: technology use that mirrors what is necessary in the “target” environment. 13 ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

Which TIF-ing method is which?  TIF-ing methods can be labeled in more than one way:  Expecting students to assignments is both technology and a norm.  Expecting students to speak courteously is a norm but when you highlight the language structures (e.g. Could/can/may I…), it is also a language method.  The important thing is that all of these methods reinforce TIF skills consistently and authentically regardless of lesson content. 14 ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014

TIF-ing the Classroom: Examples  Which TIF skills does it address from your category?  How could you complement it with additional skills? Is this a routine, norm, learning task format, technology, or language?? 15  What example of your own could you share? ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014 Look at each example. Consider the following Qs and take notes on handout p. 24.

ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September Example: Time Cards:  Create individual timecards for learners.  You may choose to alphabetize them in a card file or accordion file.  For each date, learners will write in the TIME they enter the class (you can take this opportunity to work on rounding to the nearest 15 minutes) and when they exit.  When learners enter late or leave early, take the time to pause your lesson to remind them to sign in or out on their time card (until the procedure becomes automatic).  Later, these time cards can be used to add up attendance hours for math lessons, for “pay checks”, and to compare to student hours in the database. Which TIF method is it? Routine!!

ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September  Example: Teamwork  Working with a team is an important part of education and the workplace. In this class, you will often be required to work in a team. It is important that you take responsibility for your role in the team and complete the tasks you agree to do. It is also important to participate in the group discussions, giving your input in a positive and constructive way. Which TIF method is it? Norm!!

ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September Example: Tracking Test Scores:  Students will create a chart on excel.  After students take a test, they will record their scores on the chart.  Students can set a goal for their next test score and write it on the chart.  After recording their subsequent test score, they can check to see if they met their goal and reflect on ways they could meet it if they did not or set a new goal if they did meet it.  Once several scores for a particular test are recorded, students can graph their scores using the excel graphing function.  Students can analyze this data, calculating increases and decreases and reflecting on how other factors (such as attendance and time spent on homework) impacted or may impact their results.  Students can set new goals for scores and study habits based on this analysis.. Which TIF method is it? Technology!! & ?

ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September Example: Using Polite Language and Tone  It is an expectation in this class that we treat each other with respect and courtesy. One way to show respect is to make requests using polite language and tone. When you need help or simply want to get clarification, using the following phrases is the courteous way to achieve this: Which TIF method is it? Language!! & ? I would like... --Instead of -- I want/need… Could you…/Can you… --Instead of -- Give me… Could I…/May I… --Instead of -- I’m going to…

ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September Which TIF method is it? Learning Task Format!! QuestionsChoices Example: What is your goal after getting your GED?

Effective Communication (EC): Effective communication is a two-way process between individuals of diverse backgrounds and experience in which information is conveyed and received in ways that are mutually understood as intended. This can include speaking, writing, and all forms of nonverbal communication. Examples of activities in this category could include adjusting communication to suit various audiences, questioning to clarify meaning and to enhance understanding, or articulating differences and appreciating how differences can affect communication. Teaching the skills in this category will help the learner give and receive information in a purposeful, appropriate, and collaborative manner. Skill 1: SWBAT…Engage positively and actively with individuals in both one-on-one and team settings to accomplish goals Sub Skills:a.Seek and offer clarification (clarifying questions, paraphrasing, restating)appropriately in spoken and written communications b.Repair communication breakdowns respectfully and effectively c.Acknowledge and affirm others (regardless of culture, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation) and their contributions d.Express expectations and acknowledge an understanding or acceptance of the expectations of others e.Participate, make contributions, and encourage the contributions of others in order to accomplish the shared goal of a team f.Employ effective strategies for resolving conflict EC: Skill 1-Sub Skill a: Seek and offer clarification (clarifying questions, paraphrasing, restating) appropriately in spoken and written communications Complexity Sample Activities Role play basic scenarios* using rote phrases, posted in the classroom to request clarification (e.g., Excuse me? Can you repeat that?) and provide basic clarification as requested (e.g., I said… I meant…). Role play scenarios* utilizing a variety of phrases, created by students and posted in the classroom, to request and offer clarification as requested. Discuss situations* in which asking for clarification is crucial. Discuss possible consequences that may result for not getting clarification. Write two contrasting scenarios; one with consequences for not requesting clarification, the other with better results after requesting clarification. Technology Activities: Record phrases to request clarification (e.g., Excuse me? Can you repeat that?) using technology (e.g., iPad, vocaroo.com, audacity). Listen to the phrases and evaluate accuracy and pronunciation (needs work, so-so, good). Record scenarios to request and offer clarification using technology (e.g., iPad, vocaroo.com, audacity). Listen to the scenarios and evaluate accuracy and pronunciation (needs improvement, so-so, good, excellent). Use or online inquiry form to request clarification or to respond to requests for clarification regarding contextualized topics.* Contexts Community * Grocery store, bank* Grocery store, library, bus stop* Banking information, billing issues School *Classroom * Questions regarding homework Work *Workplace * Paycheck error, clarifying instructions 29 ACES Hybrid PLC, ATLAS, September 2014 For example…
