Today’s Learning Targets 0. Preliminary Slides Today’s Learning Targets I can deconstruct my content standards into student-friendly language. I can select the appropriate method to assess specific learning targets. I can create an assessment blueprint. I understand that part of this process is building relationships within and across districts for the purpose of deepening my knowledge of assessment literacy and building my own support network. Make sure to go over each learning target with the group. And mention that each agenda item is linked with each LT. The next slide is Introduction and Welcome. Once all 4 learning targets are shown, if you hit the next button, LT 2 & 4 will be starred because they are directly linked with welcome and introduction. Make sure to state that. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Introduction and Welcome Our Norms Respect one another Assume positive intentions Take and support risks Stay positive Limit to quick and quiet sidebars for clarifying questions while honoring processing and work time Provide enough time to work Stay present and engaged Focus on Learning Targets

Triad Share 10 minutes 15 minutes Purpose: The purpose of this protocol is to learn from one another regarding our successes and opportunities as we are implementing this work. Rounds Sharing Questions/Reflections Round 1: Sharing by presenter #1 3 minutes Questions for Presenter #1 1 minute Round 2: Sharing by presenter #2 Questions for presenter #2 Round 3: Sharing by presenter #3 Questions for presenter #3 Reflections: Discuss commonalities Chart on posters Hang around the room 10 minutes Gallery Walk Walk around and read other posters What do you notice? 15 minutes Debrief WHOLE GROUP

Triad Share - Debrief What worked for you? What didn’t? Why? How can we tweak this process so it does work for you in the future? Can you see yourself using this protocol in your classroom? How? What did you learn today from doing this?

Overview of Target Match and Blueprint Review Target Match Review Blueprint Give you a sample template Analyzing My Results

1. Five Keys to Classroom Assessment Quality Target-Method Match Activity (pg. 94 CASL) 1. Five Keys to Classroom Assessment Quality Kind of Target Assessment Method Selected Response Written Response Performance Assessment Personal Communication Knowledge Good Strong Partial Reasoning Skill Poor Product Refer participants to page 94 in CASL book © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 11

6. Audit Assessments for Clear Targets Test Blueprint for Claire’s Math Learning Target Item #s # of Points Identifies number patterns with multiplication 3 5 Reads, writes, orders, and compares numbers to 10,000 4, 6, 7, 11 15 Subtracts whole numbers using regrouping 5, 10 2 Represents multiplication as repeated addition 8 Constructs bar graphs 9 4 Uses standard units of measurement for length, weight, temperature, and capacity 12, 13, 14 6 Tells time with an analog clock 1 Writes fractions to match models 1 3 Solves problems with addition 2 Notice here that the learning targets have been organized so that we can see how many points each contributes to the whole. Briefly explain how the first two rows of the test plan are set up. Then show the rest of the chart, but don’t discuss it. Note: The first two rows animate separately and then the rest of the chart animates all together. The important thing here is that participants understand where the numbers in the two right-hand columns came from. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 12

Another Example of a Blue Print Learning Target Knowledge Compare/ Contrast Totals Manifest Destiny 2   Reasons settlers went west 6 Life of Native American groups 4 Significant individuals Effects on Native Americans and Mexicans 10 TOTALS 28 8 36

Your Blueprint Template Learning Target Type of Target Assessment Method Points/Questions Percent Importance I can explain the concept of Manifest Destiny and its contribution to the migration of people in the development of the United States K SR 2 5% I can compare the motives of the different groups who participated in the westward expansion by leaving the eastern United States and heading west. R 6 17% I can compare the lives of different Native American groups before and after westward expansion. K & R I can identify significant individuals who took part in the westward expansion. I can explain how the westward migration led to conflict between Native Americans an settlers and between Mexicans and settlers. 10 28%

What to do after Blueprint? Write your assessment questions that reflect your blueprint Match questions to “I Can” statements Write your test Overachievers Create “Reviewing My Results” template (Page 28-29 in Workbook from training)

6. Audit Assessments for Clear Targets Wrap Up – Journal Entry 6. Audit Assessments for Clear Targets Purpose of journal is for YOU to reflect back on your own personal learning How comfortable do you feel with each learning target? Fill in your “Explanation” piece every time “Next Steps” is only if you feel that there is something else that you have to do to help you master that target Have participants find a partner and discuss the question. You can conduct a large-group discussion at the close of this activity. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 26
