1. How I Support My Students Proficient Completion of RCD APTs Wendy Soto Rancho Viejo Middle School SPED/RSP 6 th Grade

2. My Inspiration… Robert Marzano, 2009 “Use tools appropriate for situation… Bottom line is to produce results… You choose the tool, but if it’s not working, try another… Assuming you have to use every research based instructional strategy in every lesson is only going to frustrate you…” (Marzano, 2009). I came here today assuming nothing; my only goal is hopefully not annoy you, just present another tool

3. Website: soto404.weebly.com  Engages Students  Provides Peer Collaboration  Small Group Rotation (stations: at students’ pace)  Developed DoK activities for APTs Proficiency Levels  Complete at Home, After School Program, and in Class  Saves in Class Instruction/Review Time  Enrichment for High Students, Support for Ells and Mainstreamed SPED  SBAC Support

4. So, what exactly am I doing? Introducing Engaging Scenario, CC Standard, & Scoring Guide Taking task graphic organizers and chunking them into parts Taking those parts and creating DoK leveled web page activities to support mastery of the individual parts (class/home/Zone) Bring those chunks back together in APT CFU through activity completion (formative assessment) and observation of classroom activity and behavior Giving them APT to complete independently Grading APT according to scoring guide (summative assessment)

5. RCD Authentic Performance Task (Unit 1 Task 3 as Example)  Engaging Scenario  CC Standard  Scoring Guide  DoK Activities

6. Engaging Scenario Newspaper Publishers Students type responses into fields, I underline the correct answers as an accommodation for my students… *Supports SBAC typing practice Visuals (ELL/SPED) Navigation Icons Student Centered Visual (images) Audio (background music) Typing vs. Writing Independently or w/Peers

7. CC Standards Priority Students type standards into fields… *Supports SBAC typing practice Navigation Icon You can choose which CC Standard you want them to focus on…but all the priority standards are listed Big Idea

8. Scoring Guide I added grades along the top of the scoring guide to display the level of high expectations… a visual goal to shoot for.

9. DoK Activities Level 3 Navigation Icons Icons for each DoK activity Dok Chart compared with Bloom’s so students can see the levels and what skill will be developed at that level

10. U1T3-Dok #1 Identify Big Idea Essential Question Article DoK Level #2/#3 Analyzing & Applying Student Centered Visual (images) Audio (background music) Typing vs. Writing Independently or w/Peers Navigation Icons Webpage Displays Elements Of APT Graphic Organizer

11. U1T3-Dok #2 How did the Author Illustrate with Words? Student Centered Visual (images) Audio (background music) Typing vrs. Writing Independently or w/Peers Essential Question Article: students can enlarge screen if needed Elements Of APT Graphic Organizer

12. U1T3-Dok #3 Methods of Elaboration Student Centered Visual (images) Audio (background music) Typing vs. Writing Independently or w/Peers Elements Of APT Graphic Organizer

13. U1T3-Dok #4 Providing Textual Evidence Elements Of APT Graphic Organizer Student must provide paragraph and sentence of where they found their evidence Two more Elaboration Activities- Analogy/Adverbs

14. U1T3-Dok #5 Using Direct Quotes Two short instructional videos (large group/independently) Practice using Direct Quotes

15. U1T3-Dok #6 Concrete Evidence & Commentary Student Centered Visual (images/video) Audio (newscast) Typing vs. Writing Independently or w/Peers Audio News Report and Video from NPR, Article from Fox News Latino, and Web page from Guardian

16. U1T3-Dok #7 Authentic Performance Task Provide a new (appropriate leveled/length) article Review the Scoring Guide Explain they must complete the APT graphic organizer on their own Pass out hard copy of article and graphic organizer

17. Bottom Line Based everything on RCD UOPs  Engaging Scenario  CC Standard  Scoring Guide  DoK Support CC Standards Based Marzano’s Evidenced Based Teaching Strategies Engages Students SBAC Typing Practice Built In Less Paper Free Website

18. What do you need to replicate this differentiated instructional method  Time  Willingness to see the benefits from students perspective  Computers (Desk tops, Laptops, Chrome Books)  Incorporate as a learning center (maybe not daily, but once or twice a week)  Work ahead of the current unit  Really chew on what the APT is expecting the student to know to be successful…and work backwards  Get really cozy with Webb’s DoK

19. Why do I use Weebly.com? Free I get emails sent directly to wsoto@hemetusd.org whenever a student enters their initials and clicks SUBMITwsoto@hemetusd.org Weebly.com  At this time only free website host that allows users to create data entry fields that can be manipulated, adjusted, and placed anywhere on the webpage  Crucial for replicating RCD graphic organizers and receiving feedback on specific elements of the tasks
