Goals

8. -Teaching Students in the Digital Age
“When a goal is clear, our strategic networks can devise many different ways to reach it. For teachers, clear goals are the foundation for individualizing teaching. Goals specifying which aspects of instruction and assessment are central (and therefore, must be held constant) and which aspects are not central (and therefore, can be varied). Goals help students understand the true purpose of their efforts and what they need to do to make progress.”
-Teaching Students in the Digital Age
Writing Goals the
UDL Way!

9. Defining Clear, Flexible, SMART Learning Goals

11. Taking Action with Verbs in your Lesson Plan Goals and Objectives
Check out the following links!

12. Top 10 Verbs
Create a list of your Top 10 verbs used in Lesson Plan Goals and Objectives.
Then add a student-friendly description for each of your verbs.
Frame your thinking – If you find yourself using "identify" on a regular basis, as yourself – What does this mean? Do students know what it means?

13. MARYLAND COLLEGE & CAREER-READY STANDARDS (MDCCRS)
How do I read grade-level standards?

14. There are 2 Types of Standards
Content Standards – What do students actually have to know – independent of what they can write, read, perform, etc…This is knowledge they need to have before they can apply it
Methods Standards – What do students have to do? This focuses on specific tasks such as writing, solving an algebraic equation, reading, performing a piece of music, serving a tennis ball, etc.

15. There are 2 Types of Standards
Content Standards
Students have:
1. options for how they learn
2. choices which will engage their interest and challenge them
3. choices for how they demonstrate their learning
Teachers provide:
1. flexible ways of presenting lesson content
2. flexible options for student engagement
3. flexible methods of expression and assessment
Methods Standards
1. to complete a task in a specific way
2. scaffolding and work samples for each step of the process
3. graphic organizers, rubrics, and opportunities to provide mastery oriented feedback

16. Goal A
The students will read the novel “Invisible Man” and write a three-page, typed paper about its depiction of cultural, economic, political, and social development in mid-20th century America
Goal B
Identify and play patterns using B, A, and G on a recorder.
Goal C
Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks.

17. LP Goal Step 1. Identify an appropriate MCCRS
Writing Lesson Goals
Your students
LP Goal
Step 1. Identify an appropriate MCCRS
Step 2. Restate the portion of the MCCRS that you will focus on in the lesson
Step 3. Be sure to emphasize the outcomes, not the means of achieving them
Step 4. There should be no more than one goal for a lesson and make sure it is SMART!
“The goal is the heart of any lesson. All activities, resources used, and products produced should be grounded in that goal” (Nelson, 2014).

18. S - specific, significant, stretching
M - measurable, meaningful, motivational
A - attainable, achievable, acceptable, action-oriented
R - realistic, relevant, reasonable, rewarding, results-oriented
T - time-based, time-bound, timely, tangible, trackable

19. Example Lesson Plan Goal
MCCRS Grade 4 Standards for Language SL2 L2.c Use a comma before a coordinating conjunction in a compound sentence. Possible Goal “Students will add commas appropriately to coordinating conjunctions during sentence writing practice.” UDL Friendly Goal “Students will demonstrate the appropriate use of commas within coordinating conjunctions.”

21. Writing Lesson Objectives
Your students
LP Objective
Step 1. Create objectives that serve as concrete, specific, measurable steps that will lead students toward accomplishing the instructional goals.
Step 2. Be sure objectives are written using student-friendly language.
Step 3. REMEMBER to use measureable, action verbs!

22. Example Lesson Plan Objectives
Initial lesson related to the instructional goal:
SWBAT identify independent clauses in compound sentences.
SWBAT identify dependent clauses in compound sentences.
Next lesson...
SWBAT use each of the seven coordinating conjunctions to create compound sentences (and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet).
Final lesson...
SWBAT identify when and where to use commas in compound sentences.

23. READ through the MD Learning Links UDL Case St-udy: Goals scenarios
Navigate to the Math or ELA MCCRS standards for any grade
Pick ONE Math OR ELA standard to focus on
WRITE 1 Goal related to this standard.
WRITE 2 Specific Objectives for a lesson related to this goal.
Once you finish, find a buddy and COMPARE what you’ve each written.
Are the goals clear?
Are there any barriers you can identify?
