3 Overview of Session 3 Topics
Writing About Teaching: Three Types of Writing Reviewing the Architecture of Accomplished Teaching Preparing to write the Instructional Context part of the written commentary of the entry Examining National Board Content Area Standards & Rubrics Writing Appropriate Goals based upon Student Information Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

4 Topic 1: Writing About Teaching
Purpose: Identify types of writing reflected in the Portfolio entry questions Clarify that consistent evidence is provided when the description, analysis, and reflection of teaching practice is aligned & linked to one another Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

5 Homework for Session 3 Clarification: Read and highlight pages – Writing About Teaching in the General Portfolio Instructions (2018) Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

6 Three Types of Writing Key Information
All certificate portfolio instructions are grounded in the Architecture of Accomplished Teaching Framework and will require candidates to describe, analyze, and reflect on their practice. Since assessors will only have what is provided to them in the entry materials (video recordings, instructional materials, and written commentary), candidates must demonstrate that they appropriately described, analyzed, and reflected upon their practice and have used this analysis appropriately to guide future teaching. Your analysis of your featured teaching is a crucial element conveyed solely by your written commentary. In other words, you may have strong evidence, but your analysis of that evidence is what “unpacks” your thinking and makes it convincing for the assessors. Consistent evidence is provided when the description, analysis, and reflection of your practice is aligned and linked to one another.

7 Three Types of Thinking/Writing
Descriptive – what happened? Analytical – why or how did it happen? Reflective – how would you handle this same situation in the future? Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

8 Descriptive Writing Contains accurate and precise enumeration and/or explanation of critical features Provides clear and logical ordering of the elements or features of the event, person, concept, or strategy described Includes all features or elements that an outsider would need to be able to visualize your classroom (sets the stage) Specifies the meaning of any abbreviation or acronym the first time it is used Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

9 Analytical Writing Deals with reasons, motives, and interpretation of why elements or events described as the way they are – provides rationale Shows assessors the thought processes that you used to arrive at your conclusions about a given teaching situation Demonstrates the significance of the evidence you submit Provides convincing reasoning, based on evidence, for interpretations and rationales.

10 Reflective Writing Analysis and reflection can overlap
Reflection is a thought process you engage in after a teaching experience Allows you to make decisions about how you would approach similar situations in the future Shows assessors how you use what you have learned from your teaching experiences to inform and improve your practice in the future Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

11 Consistent Evidence When all your writing is aligned & supports your practice, then you are providing consistent evidence, required in the Level 4 rubric Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

All Rights Reserved.

34 Alignment Align Targets, Goals, Assessments & Instruction
Gain a clear vision of the target Write learning goals that tell what students should be able to do as a result of this lesson or lesson series Determine how students will show what they know & can do Determine how to help students reach the target “Unpack” the Standards Write goals that describe the level of rigor students demonstrate Develop the Assessment Plan the instruction Critical to point out that once a standard is unpacked, this is not the learning goal or objective for a lesson. The learning goal is determined after breaking down the standard Alignment Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

35 Evidence Based Teaching:
A Way of Structuring Classroom Planning & Instruction Teachers continuously collect, interpret & use evidence of student learning That set high, worthwhile meaningful learning goals that meet individual needs That align with state/district learning standards & NBPTS standards for accomplished teaching Leading to appropriate decisions to guide further instruction That empower all students to effectively demonstrate what they have learned Goal of Evidence Based Teaching Is to Design Learning Experiences: Why do you think I shared this with you? Here’s how I understand this – giving them a source for defining evidence basis for a common language. This is also found in Session 2. Came from Take One Participant Guide page 17.

36 Quick Primer on Goal Writing
A B C D Approach Smart Goals Audience – the learner Behaviors – what will they learn? Conditions – when or what situations Degree – criterion for success Before we move forward to look at knowledge of students, we’ll do a quick primer on ways of looking at goal writing. Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

37 The Audience: Who Are My Students?
The entry asks you to show evidence of differentiating instruction & assessment strategies for students in relation to a specific content area. Ask: Who are they? Where are they now? What do they need & When do they need it? Where should I begin? Take a few minutes to have candidates respond to this question. How do they know they’ve been effective with their students? Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

38 A B C D Method The Behavior(s) What do you want the students to learn?
What type of behavior do you expect? Here’s where unpacking the standards in relation to what you know about your students is essential. Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

39 Conditions Usually a WHEN or WHILE statement
“when given a set of five unlabeled slides” “when given a list of common over the counter drugs” “while working independently” Under what Conditions will they demonstrate this goal? Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

40 How Will You Measure It? Degree or Criteria for Success
What has to happen for the learner to succeed? The standard or criteria for judging the behavioral performance. Speed Accuracy Quality Quantity Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

41 Defining a Goal Usually National Board uses the term “goal” for multiple types of goals: Overall goals Unit goals or lesson goals You may have used the terms differently based on specificity of moving from goals to objectives. Learning goals are the specific learning targets that mesh the objectives of the prescribed course curriculum with students’ readiness and needs Appropriate learning goals allow the teacher to help each student progress from a current position along a learning continuum to the desired destination, in appropriate, yet challenging increments It’s important to be clear that in the past, the terms goals and objectives have been interchangeable in directions from NBPTS. We want to be sure we examine the revised directions with candidates to determine if this is still the case. Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University.

42 Learning Goals or Activities?
Learning Activities: Students will: Distinguish between words beginning with “p” & “b” Identify the capital of each state Determine the electrical conductivity of different materials Students will: Play bingo using words beginning with “p” & “b” Play Jeopardy to practice identifying capitals of each state Conduct an experiment investigating the electrical conductivity of different materials Examples to clarify what learning goals vs. learning activities may look like. Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

43 Learning Goal or Activity? (adapted from Take One activity book, 2005)
Recognize a poem in sonnet form. Distinguish between different types of triangles. Read the next chapter and answer the questions. Identify three major types of water pollution and the causes of each. Play the game of basketball. Regroup addition problems involving 3 digit numbers. Determine the quantities of ingredients needed if a recipe is tripled. Do a science experiment with magnets & batteries. Explain the factors leading to the Industrial Revolution. Take a walking field trip to look for signs of autumn. Identify the characteristics of living things. Role play a conversation between General Washington & his troops at Valley Forge. Learning Goal or Activity? (adapted from Take One activity book, 2005) Next to each statement, indicate whether it is an activity (A) or a learning goal (G) Quickly number a page from 1-12 and write either A for activity or G for learning goal next to each number. Consider how you might change an activity into a learning goal. Think about the learning goals you regularly write for your students. Based on the qualities of effective learning goals (i.e., they state what students will learn rather than do; they are strongly linked to content standards; they are clear, appropriate worthwhile; they advance high expectations; they are attainable using established teaching strategies; and they are measurable), note how you could strengthen them.

44 When Writing Learning Goals…
Make sure learning goals: Questions Candidates Can Ask One Another: Align with state/district/local content standards & curriculum requirements. Advance high expectations & worthwhile learning. Specify clearly what student will learn, rather than what activities they will complete. Are appropriate for all your students. Can be achieved with accomplished teaching strategies. Can be measured using classroom- based assessment methods. Show how your goals align with state/local content standards….. Describe how these goals advance high expectations & worthwhile learning Tell how you justify these goals What will students learn as a result of this lesson or lesson series? What do you know about your students that makes this an appropriate goal at this time? How will this goal meet the needs of the ability range in your class? How will you measure these goals?

45 To Summarize, First, Focus on the Students
Where are my students intellectually, socially & emotionally? What can my students do at this time in relation to the content addressed by this component? Clarify the student background knowledge that helps them to be prepared for this content. First, Focus on the Students Summary slide 1 Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

46 Next, consider how the standards are unpacked to connect with student skills & abilities in this content area How do my students learn best in relation to the content for this component? What is the ability range of the class in relation to the content addressed in this component? What are my students’ interests that impact my planning for the content addressed in this component? What is a realistic, measurable learning goal for my students at this point in time? Summary slide 2 Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University.

47 Closure Three Types of Writing: How does each type of writing help me articulate my teaching practice with evidence? Knowledge of Students Standard: How does what I know about my students influence my practice? How can I learn more about my students? Examining NB Content Area Standards, Rubrics & Instructions describe what accomplished teaching looks like in my certificate area: What am I already doing that demonstrates accomplished teaching? Instructional Context: How can I succinctly explain my Instructional Context for the featured unit of study? Setting Appropriate Goals based upon Student Information: How can I use my standards and student assessment information to write clear, concise goals?

48 Preparing for the Next Cohort Session
Write the Instructional Context portion of your Written Commentary Be sure to begin or continue collecting student work and assessment information Bring a class work sample for Session 4 Bring updated goals, lesson plans, and assessment data for the unit of study you may feature in your entry Read and highlight the Assessment standards for your certificate area Locate, read & highlight the level 4 rubric in your certificate specific instructions Class work sample means work completed by all students for a lesson. The next session will focus on analyzing student work. Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

49 Cohort members reflect on the session together
Any cohort member can take notes for the group Teacher Liaison uses this form to share what’s happening in the cohort with the administrator Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

50 Be Sure to Reflect on: Students Teaching Strategies
It’s essential that candidates take time to consider what they noticed about their students in reflecting on their teaching. As they reflect on their students, they may determine other teaching strategies they need to try or revisit based upon their student knowledge and the conversations today. It may be too much to ask to have them reflect on both, but perhaps it isn’t for your candidates. This is also an opportunity for candidates to share logistical information with you about the cohort session. Using this individual form may be a safer way for some candidates to share concerns or questions. Copyright © 2016 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.
