Learning  Inten+ons  

•    I  can  apply  and  give  specific  examples  of  the  six  big  AFL  strategies  

•  I  have  a  plan  to  implement  a  strategy  which  is  new  to  me.    

•  I  can  determine  a  next  step

The  Six  Big  AFL  Strategies  

1.     IntenHons  

2.     Criteria  

3.     DescripHve  feedback  

4.     QuesHons  

5.     Self  and  peer  assessment  

6.     Ownership

QuesHoning  Goal:    creaHng  real  quesHons,  using  quesHons  to  

link  background  knowledge  with  new  informaHon,  create  curiosity  

•  Present  an  image  •  A3er  each  image,  ask  students  to  pose  quesHons  about  the  image  and  to  resist  the  urge  to  answer  someone  else’s  quesHon  

•  Repeat  with  3-­‐4  images

Clustering  from  Text  Goal:    Deeper  understanding  

•  Read  a  porHon  of  a  text  to  the  students  •  Students  focus  on  the  language  of  the  text  •  Ask  each  student  to  contribute  one  word  or  phrase  to  a  group  cluster  

•  Students  organize  the  cluster,  telling  you  where  to  place  each  word/phrase  

•  When  each  student  has  had  a  chance  to  contribute,  change  the  colour  of  the  pen  and  reorganize  the  cluster,  making  new  connecHons  

•  Students  choose  2  words  from  the  cluster  which  spark  their  thinking  and  begin  to  write

Clustering  from  Text    Goal:  making  connecHons,  deepening  understanding,  building  vocabulary

AFL  in  WriHng  •  Learning  IntenHons  –  tell  the  kids  what  the  big  idea  is  in  what  

you  are  wriHng  about  today  

•  Criteria  –  what  is  the  special  a\ribute  you  are  working  on?  •  DescripHve  feedback  –  move  about  as  they  write  and  noHce  

‘what’s  working’  and  give  a  hint  or  ask  a  quesHon  to  extend  the  ‘what’s  not’  into  a  plan  for  ‘what’s  next’  

•  QuesHoning  –  have  the  wriHng  focus  be  open  enough  and  supporHve  enough  that  all  can  parHcipate.    Ask  invitaHonal,  reasoning  quesHons  

•  Peer  and  self  assessment  –  have  students  idenHfy  in  their  work,  the  criteria  you  have  been  working  on    

•  Ownership  –  watch  the  excitement  and  the  fun  of  the  collaboraHon.    If  you  think  you  CAN  do  it  and  you  WANT  to  do,  you  WILL  do  it.  

Page 13: Burnaby Primary AFL, April 2010

WriHng  –  grade  2/3    

•  Consistent  criteria  over  Hme  – Strong  hook  – Powerful  vocabulary  – Detail,  detail  

•  Repeated  pracHce  a3er  plenty  of  ‘warm-­‐up’  

•  2  different  scenarios:  – Using  what  you  know  from  science  (salmon  study)  – Using  what  you  know  from  a  grab  bag  

Page 14: Burnaby Primary AFL, April 2010

•  Model,  model,  model  •  Analyze  and  advise    –  ‘What  do  you  noHce?’  

–  ‘How  would  you  help  me?’  

•  Wander,  noHce  and  quesHon  as  the  students  are  wriHng  

•  In  sharing,  have  students  respond  to  the  criteria  as  they  noHce  and  quesHon

Science  Journals  –  an  open-­‐ended  tool  for  assessment  for  learning  

Lisa  Schwartz  –  gr.  1/2  

•  Learning  IntenHon:  –  I  can  observe  and  record  like  a  scienHst

Reading – Gr.1 March Portfolio – Lori Johnson,

Coldstream Elem., Vernon, BC •  I  can  read  this  book  easily,  stopping  at  the  periods  for  a  breath  and  

also  using  some  expression.    •   I  can  retell  the  story  I  have  just  read  in  my  own  words  from  

beginning  to  end.        •  I  can  “make  pictures  or  movies”  in  my  head  when  I  read  a  story  that  

has  no  pictures.    Ask  me  to  tell  you  about  the  pictures  and  feelings  I  had  when  Ms.  Johnson  read  us  “Big  Al”.    Visualizing  helps  me  understand  be\er.        

•  I  can  read  by  using  sight  words  (  the  words  I  know  really  well  are  highlighted  on  the  list  in  the  folder  )  and  I  can  also  figure  out  new  words  by  sounding  out  the  le\ers,  then  blending  the  le\ers  together.          

•  My  goal  for  next  term  in  reading  is  to  ___________________

Writing – Gr. 1 March Portfolio, Lori Johnson, Coldstream Elem, Vernon, BC

•  Here  is  some  of  my  latest  wriHng.    I  can  write  about  things  that  happen  in  my  life.    Usually  I  print  neatly,  use  fingerspaces  and  include  details.    I  have  several  words  I  can  just  spell  easily,  others  I  try  to  stretch  by  saying  the  sounds,  then  wriHng  the  le\ers  down.      

•  I  can  read  my  wriHng  to  you.    Thanks  for  listening.      •  I  can  tell  you  about  my  wriHng  –  what  criteria  I  am  trying  to  meet  as  I  wrote  these  pieces.          

•  I  can  tell  you  what  I  want  to  do  next  in  my  wriHng.        •  My  goal  for  next  term  in  wriHng  is  to  _____________________________

SOCIAL STUDIES – FRIENDSHIP UNIT •  I  can  tell  you  the  qualiHes  that  make  up  a  good  friend.    Let’s  do  the  Friendship  Puzzle  together.                

SCIENCE      •  I  know  how  a  leaf  culng  can  grow  roots  to  become  a  plant.    Ask  me  to  explain  my  “Plant  Journal”  to  you.      

•  I  can  tell  you  how  magnets  work.    I  know  that  magnets  a\ract  some  things  and  not  others.    I  know  they  have  a  North  and  a  South  Pole.    I  can  explain  my  Magnet  Map  to  you.    

Page 28: Burnaby Primary AFL, April 2010

•  I  can  count  by  ones  while  doing  acHons  with  my  hands  and  feet.    I  like  to  do  something  different  on  the  fives  and  tens.        Let’s  do  it  together!      

•  I  can  count  this  bag  of  _______  by  first  sorHng  it  into  groups  of  ______  on  the  counHng  mat.      SorHng  makes  it  easier  to  count  big  numbers.        

•  I  can  solve  a  problem  using  addiHon  or  subtracHon.    I  can  show  you  how  I  do  this  using  objects  or  pictures.    Here  are  some  problems  we  can  solve.          

•  I  can  look  at  a  bunch  of  objects,  then  esHmate  how  many  might  be  there.    It  won’t  be  the  exact  number!    Let’s  esHmate  the    hearts  on  this  paper  using  an  elasHc  as  a  “referent  set”.          

•  I  am  learning  my  math  facts  by  playing  “AddiHon  and  SubtracHon  War”.    I  can  show  you  how  to  play.        

•  My  goal  for  next  term  in  math  is  to  _____________________________

QUESTIONS  TO  THINK  &  TALK  ABOUT  

1.  How  might  you  -­‐  or  do  you  -­‐  use  what  you  have  seen  in  your  classroom?    What  adaptaHons  would  you  make  to  be\er  fit  your  context?  

2.  How  would  these  strategies  help  your  students?
