Setting Clear Expectations
• Groups of 6-8 people
• Each group will complete a task. I need an assessor and observer from each group.
International Center for Leadership in Education
The TASK• Blow up balloons one at a time.• Tie the balloon.• Cut a length of yarn and attach to the balloon.• Hand the balloon to the assessor for
evaluation.
• Any balloon not done correctly will rejected by the assessor by popping it with a push pin.
• Each group must try to figure out the evaluation criteria for “acceptable” work.

Assessment and RR
• Must be deliberate, set clear expectations from the beginning.

Take Away
What can you “take away” from today’s training? Something you liked, will use in
your classroom or just something you want to remember. Please take a few minutes to write it down on a piece of
paper.

Goal• Work in Quadrants B and D as much as
possible to prepare students for the more demanding standards and assessments of CCSS.
• Use Authentic tasks…because they have value and meaning beyond the classroom. Students must put their knowledge and skills to work just as they might do naturally in or out of school.
Plan for PLC
• We would like you to meet in subject level PLC’s to choose a topic/standard from you curriculum and create an RR lesson this afternoon.
• If you teach more than one subject, just choose your favorite.
• I will be available for help if needed.• You will be observed this year teaching an RR
lesson.• Implementation time line for RR lessons will be
given by Mrs. Shaw
Contact
• Please feel free to contact me anytime for questions, advice or just help.
