Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee “Students can hit any target they can see that holds still for them.” ~Rick Stiggins

Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Clear learning targets shift us away from what we, as teachers, are covering towards what our students are learning.

Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Classifying Targets Knowledge Reasoning Skill Targets Product Targets What are the characteristics that distinguish these types of learning targets?

Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Knowledge Targets Factual information: verbs such as names, lists, identifies, recalls Procedural knowledge: knowing a protocol or memorizing a series of steps Conceptual understanding; can explain the concept clearly E.g., Identify tenths in decimal form on a number line. Indicate the approximate location of thirds, fourths, and fifths on a number line.

Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Reasoning Targets Specify thought processes students are to apply effectively e.g., solve problems, make inferences, defend judgments. Ability to apply knowledge in authentic contexts Engage in reasoning using their knowledge E.g., Compare fractions, decimals and mixed numbers by identifying their relative position on a number line.

Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Skill Targets Real time demonstration Physical performance E.g., Use a protractor to draw acute and obtuse angles. Use a compass to draw concentric circles.

Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Product Targets  Creation of a product What is the intended learning? E.g., Create a table, lab report, make a graph, scatter plots.

Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Formative Assessment Table In Triads, examine and offer feedback to your partners on their learning targets. Spend some time in your discussion on: 1.the classification of the learning target 2.the student-friendly language 3.the target as an activity or a learning

Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Writing a Learning Target Grade Level groups (Triads) 1.Read the designated lesson. 2.Individually: choose the standard that aligns best to the lesson. List the activities students will do. From the activities write a learning target. Classify your target. 3. Share and discuss your target with your triad. 4. If time, share you target with another grade level group.

Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee In Classroom Practice Targets Should: Be posted daily for students to see. Be used throughout the lesson by students to monitor their learning, and by teachers to guide their instruction. Forecast: How do you know students reached the target?

Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Teacher’s Role in Assessment FOR Learning 1.Identify the standard. 2.Deconstruct it to enabling targets. 3.Transform to student friendly version. 4.Create accurate classroom assessments. 5.Use with students to track growth.
