Mediating Texts: Tatum’s Framework

4 Literacy Platforms: Defining Self, Becoming Resilient, Engaging Others, Building Capacity

Introducing the text: getting students into the text right away by selecting a powerful excerpt

Framing Question(s):

Writing Connection: calling attention to the text as a language model and helping students see themselves as writers

Mediating Texts Around One of the Framing Questions: Assign pages to be read. Begin with one page and discuss it together before releasing responsibility

Five CLR Pedagogical AreasWhen looking at instruction from the what and the how perspective there are five general areas that we have identified where CLR can have immediate impact by increasing student motivation and engagement.

Infusing Situational Appropriateness with

Language and Behavior

(Responsive Language)

Creating an Inviting Learning Environment for Student Success

(Responsive Environment)

Four Areas for Infusing CLR PedagogyResponsive Classroom

Management

Use of attention signals strategically:

Use of movement activities strategically:

Collaborative opportunities (extended beyond protocols)

Responsive Academic Vocabulary

Evidence of leveling vocabulary words (tier 2 and tier 3)

Evidence of reinforcement/practice activities

Use of vocabulary acquisition strategies (word structure, apposition, context clues, synonym replacement)

Responsive Academic Literacy

Use of CR text and media

Connected to the standards and unit theme

Use of engaging read-alouds

Use of effective literacy strategies

Responsive Academic Language

Code-switching opportunities

Sentence lifting/Retellings/Role playing/Teachable moments

Revising (phonetics, markers, syntax, and vocabulary

Seven Tenets of the UbD Framework-Appendix A

1. Learning is enhanced when teachers think purposefully about curricular planning. The UbD framework helps this process without offering a rigid process or prescriptive recipe.

2. The UbD framework helps to focus curriculum and teaching on the development and deepening of student understanding and transfer of learning.

3. Understanding is revealed when students autonomously make sense of and transfer their learning through authentic performance. Six facets of understanding-the capacity to explain, interpret, apply, shift perspective, empathize, and self-assess

Seven Tenets of the UbD Framework-Appendix A

4. Effective curriculum is planned backward from long-term, desired results through a three-stage design process (Desired Results, Evidence, and Learning Plan)

5. Teachers are coaches of understanding, not mere purveyors of content knowledge, skill, or activity. They focus on ensuring that learning happens

6. Regularly reviewing units and curriculum against design standards enhances curricular quality.

7. The UbD framework reflects a continual improvement approach to students achievement and teacher craft.

Learning Goals and Teaching Roles-Appendix B

Acquire Make Meaning Transfer

The goal seeks to help learners acquire factual information and basic skills

This goal seeks to help students construct meaning (i.e. come to an understanding) of important ideas and processes.

This goal seeks to support the learner’s ability to transfer their learning autonomously and effectively in new situations

Direct Instruction Facilitative Teaching

Coaching

UbD in a Nutshell-Desired Results (Stage 1)What long-term transfer goals are targeted?

What meanings should students make in order to arrive at important understandings?

What essential questions will students explore?

What knowledge and skill will students acquire?

What established goals/standards are targeted?

Stage 1:Desired Results

In Stage 1 designers consider the following elements. A variety of examples and design tools are provided to assist

G: Unpack the goals (CCSS standards to derive the big ideas, key knowledge skills)

K: Identify what students will know

S: Identify what students will be able to do

Q: Select/develop Essential Questions to guide inquiry into big ideas

U: Frame the big ideas as specific understanding (“the student will understand that…”

Drafting a Design from Big IdeasStudy the samples on pages 85-86 of

Understanding By Design

In triads Draft a Design from Big Ideas. We will use topics from either History or English to build understanding

UbD in a Nutshell-Evidence (Stage 2)What performances and products will reveal

evidence of meaning-making and transfer?

By what criteria will performance be assessed, in light of Stage 1 desired results?

What additional evidence will be collected for all Stage 1 desired results?

Are the assessments aligned to all Stage 1 elements?

Stage 2: Assessment Evidence

Consider the following elements as you identify the evidence needed to determine the extent to which the desired results (Stage 1) have been achieved.

OE: Identify the Other Evidence that will be needed

T: Design authentic Performance Tasks

R: Identify appropriate criteria and use them to develop the scoring rubric(s)

What Does the Goal Imply for Assessment? Study the samples on pages 152 and 153

In triads use post-its to fill out the template on page 154

UbD in a Nutshell-Learning Plan (Stage 3) What activities, experiences, and lessons will

lead to achievement of the desired results and success for the assessments?

How will the learning plan help students with acquisition, meanng-making, and transfer?

How will the unit be sequenced and differentiated to optimize achievement for all learners?

How will progress be monitored?

Are the learning events in Stage 3 aligned with Stage 1 goals and Stage 2 assessments?

Stage 3: Learning Plan/W.H.E.R.E.T.O.

Consider the following as you develop the learning plan, mindful of the desired results identified in Stage 1 and the needed evidence in stage 2. Use the W.H.E.R.E.T.O. elements as you plan.

W: help the students know where the unit is going and what is expected. Help the teacher know where the students are coming from (CLR piece)

H: hook all students and hold their interest

E: equip students, help them experience the key ideas, and explore the issues

W.H.E.R.E.T.O Design Cont’d

R: provide opportunities to rethink and revise their understandings and work

E: allow students to evaluate their work and its implications

T: be tailored (personalized) to the different needs, interests, and abilities of learners

O: be organized to maximize initial and sustained engagement as well as effective learning

Secondary CLR Fellows Project Overview

Fellows Task Pages 46-51 in UbD workbook contain the 6 page lesson

template that will be used to construct our unit of study. The UbD workbook has many models The template was also emailed to you.

All assignments (make-up also)are due on January 12, 2015. You will submit the work to a designated dropbox folder that will be shared with you.

Assignments will include:

-CLR (UbD) Curricular Unit

-a copy of the SEL linguistic screener roster

-2 SEL student interviews

-2 SEL student learning profiles
