1. Helping Students Record and Represent Knowledge
Design Question 2 – Element 12:
How do teachers help students record or represent their understanding of knowledge?

2. Before we begin…
Before we begin talking about element 12, let’s be sure that there is an understanding about how the elements in Design Question 2 are related. This is important as you plan your lessons. Watch the video on the next slide. Please take notes, documenting how the elements in Design Question 2 are related.

3. How are the elements in DQ2 related to each other?

4. How are the elements in DQ2 related to each other?
You should have noticed:
The elements in DQ2 can be taught at the same time, need to be intentionally planned for, and are owned by the teacher or the student.
Elements 6-9 are teacher directed but elements are more student directed.
If adults need to be exposed to new information 7 different times in 7 different ways to learn something our students require exposure more than 7 times.
Now let’s talk about element twelve, specifically.

5. Review Teacher and Student Evidence NOTE: This list of evidence is not all inclusive but is instead a list of possible examples.

6. Review Scale for Element 12

7. Desired Effect in the Students
The desired effect is, “Students accurately record and represent their understanding of critical content in linguistic and/or nonlinguistic ways.” To receive an innovating rating, the teacher must adapt and create new strategies for unique student needs and situations in order for the desired effect to be evident in ALL students. In other words, the teacher engages every student in an activity that requires them to show their understanding of new knowledge by recording or representing it.

8. Before watching the video, think about…
How do you incorporate recording and representing strategies into your instruction?
How do you select a recording strategy that helps your students more effectively revise their knowledge?

10. Now that you have watched the video, reflect…
To achieve an applying rating, how will you monitor the majority of your students’ recordings and representations of important content using a variety of models?
To achieve an innovating rating, how will you adapt and create new strategies for recording and representing knowledge that address unique student needs and situations for ALL students?

11. Remember…
The most effective methods of recording knowledge are active (students thinking), not passive (students copying).
Nonlinguistic activities require students to generate a representation of new information that does not rely on language and must identify crucial information.
Linguistic activities should be interactive in nature with changes and additions made as students process the content.

12. It’s Your Evaluation, Make the Most of It!
Your evaluator will only rate you on what he/she sees which is OK because it is not necessary for you to have everything checked in the teacher and/or student evidence to receive a good rating. Also, remember you can invite your evaluator to your classroom to see you using this element. You have control of what your evaluator sees.
