Hello, Amy Moine, CRAEA Professional Learning Director

more specific learning targets.

The ones on the left focus more on the task as the ones on the right focus on what the student is learning

They are not tied to a particular worksheet. The intention stands even with different materials.

Instead of memorizing they are thinking about the learning and skills to develop

start with the why

I can make learning relevant by explicitly working through how they will use their learning in their next skill.

If you can read CVC words, you are a reader and can read books!, etc.

Sometimes a non example will help them see the why too

Breaking wole into parts

Success criteria is how they prove that they’ve achieved the learning intentions

The success criteria are more concrete, easier to "see," than the learning intentions.

Breaking whole into parts

It goes from broad to specific

My next steps are to implement self-assessments with my 2nd-grade students whose progress has plateaued. I also plan to have my 1st grade students chart their weekly progress with their phonics progress monitoring.

With each piece of learning I bring to the teachers I work with, I need to include the learning intention, relevance, and success criteria.

A next step is to infuse points within asynchronous learning to ask what people are learning so we can have a relevant conversation so they continue to grow.

Thank you Kelsey and Kelly!
