Our SCHOOL GOAL contains the elements of a SMART goal.

The Theory of Action results in a STRATEGY.

An ACTION describes the primary activities needed to implement the strategy.

The aggregate steps needed to fulfill each action are listed as TASKS.

Research-based Strategies Students

Learning and

Thriving

The most important factor

affecting student learning

is the teacher.

More can be done

to improve education

by improving

the effectiven

ess of teachers than by

any other single factor.

Research-based Strategies Students

Learning and

Thriving

Effective teachers appear to

be effective

with students of

all achievement levels

regardless of the level

of heterogen

eity in their

classrooms.

Least Effective Teacher 29 points

Most Effective Teacher 83 points

According to Katy Haycock, “Differences of this magnitude – 50 percentile points – are stunning. As all of us know only too well, they can represent the differences between a ‘remedial’ label and placement in the ‘accelerated’ or even ‘gifted’ track. And the difference between entry into a selective college and a lifetime [of subsistence wages].”

Active Engagement and Direct Instruction

Explicit and systematic teaching does not preclude the use of active engagement strategies.

In fact, one of the most prominent features of well delivered direct instruction is high levelsof active engagement on the part of all students.

If….ThenIF… we don’t design lessons and

units that will earn students’ commitment to learn,

THEN…we can’t expect them to take

an active or in depth approach to learning.

Active Engagement and Motivation

– Level of challenge offered by tasks and materials

– Quality and timing of feedback to students about heir work

– Supports and scaffolds available to learners

– Students’ interest in tasks and content

– Nature of the learning context

Factors affecting the development of intrinsic motivation in a school setting:

Intrinsically motivated students tend to persist longer, work harder, actively apply strategies, and retain key information more consistently.

Associated elements: Assessment, Teachers, Leaders, Instruction, Curriculum, Equity

Questions to consider:What data will we collect?How will we judge the impact on learning of our efforts?How will we modify instruction based on the data?How is each associated element related to Monitoring Progress?Do we have the appropriate supports, interventions, and extensions in

place? For students? For teachers?
