Target

Let’s determine the connection between the learning target and classroom instruction.

Page 3: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Research-based Strategies• Five research-based strategies that

significantly improve student learning:–Sharing criteria (clear learning

targets with success criteria)–Questioning–Feedback–Peer assessment–Self assessment

Page 4: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Students who can identify what they are learning significantly outscore those who cannot.

Robert J. Marzano

Page 5: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Clear Learning Targets• I can draw the front

of a penny.• Include as many

details as you can without looking at one.

• Compare with a partner.

Page 6: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper
Page 7: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

What’s the target?

Page 8: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

• In the patterns to the left locate and outline the five-pointed star.

Page 9: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

• If I provide additional information (block out part of the picture) does that help you identify the target?

Page 10: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

• If I provide even more information (block out more of the picture) does it help you identify the target?

Page 11: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

• Rick Stiggins points out that “Teachers and students can hit any target they can see and will hold still.”

Learning Targets

Statements of what we want students to learn and be able to do.

Written in the common language of “Let’s or I can”

Page 13: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper
Page 14: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

How do Learning Targets connect to our assessment

practices?

Page 15: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

The single most common barrier to sound classroom assessment is the teachers’ lack of vision of appropriate achievement targets

within the subjects they are supposed to teach.

Rick Stiggins

Page 16: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

• Are the student learning targets stated and easy to find?

• Are the student learning targets focused – are there too many?

• Are they clear?• Are they appropriate?• Do the stated learning targets reflect a

bigger plan to cover all important learning targets over time?

Page 17: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Teachers and Students must be able to answer...

• Where am I going?• Where am I now?• How can I close the gap?• How will I know I’m getting

there?• How can I keep it going?

Page 18: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

A Mathematics Example• Math• Decimals• Page 152 in the book• Going on a decimal hunt• Read decimals and put them in

order

Learning Target

Page 19: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Is this a Target?

• Complete a senior project• Build a bird feeder• Use a band saw safely• Analyze a lab report• Construct a diorama

Page 20: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper
Page 21: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Learning Targets

• Knowledge• Reasoning• Performance/

skills• Products

Page 22: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Knowledge Targets

Master of substantive subject content where mastery includes both

knowing and understanding it.

Page 23: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Knowledge Examples• Identify metaphors and similes• Read and write quadratic equations• Describe the function of a cell

membrane• Know the multiplication tables• Explain the effects of an acid on a base

Page 24: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Reasoning Targets

The ability to use knowledge and

understanding to figure things out

and to solve problems.

Page 25: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Reasoning Examples

• Use statistical methods to describe, analyze, evaluate and make decisions.

• Make a prediction based on evidence.• Examine data/results and propose a

meaningful interpretation.• Distinguish between historical fact and

opinion.

Page 26: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Performance/Skill Targets

The development of proficiency in doing something

where the process is most

important.

Page 27: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Performance/Skill Examples• Measure mass in metric and SI units• Use simple equipment and tools to

gather data• Read aloud with fluency and

expression• Participate in civic discussions with the

aim of solving current problems• Dribbles to keep the ball away from an

opponent

Page 28: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Product Targets

The ability to create tangible products that meet certain

standards of quality and present

concrete evidence of academic

proficiency.

Page 29: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Product Examples• Construct a bar graph• Develop a personal health-related

fitness plan• Construct a physical model of an

object• Write a term paper to support a

thesis

Page 30: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Creating Targets for “Driving a Car with Skill”

• What knowledge will students need to demonstrate the intended learning?

• What patterns of reasoning will they need to master?

• What skills are required, if any?• What product development

capabilities must they acquire, if any?

Page 31: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Driving a Car with Skill• Knowledge

– Know the law– Read signs and understand what they mean

• Reasoning– Evaluate “am I safe” and synthesize

information to take action if needed• Skills

– Steering, shifting, parallel parking, ...• Products

– (Not appropriate target for standard)

Page 32: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

Shared Learning Targets and Criteria for Success

Page 33: Engaged and Empowered  Instruction Learning Targets...Going Deeper

By setting out clearly in their own minds what they want the students to learn, the

teachers would be in a position to find out what the ‘gap’ was between the state of

students’ current learning and the learning goal and to be able to monitor that ‘gap’ as

it closed.
