Topic: Learning Focused StrategiesStudent Learning Map
The Learning-Focused Strategies Model provides a planning framework that when implemented with quality transforms standards from “words in a document” into learning for all students.
How do I use the Learning-Focused Strategies planning framework to transform standards into learning?

What is the Learning-Focused Strategies Model?
It is a model that provides a planning framework for thinking about, planning, and delivering instruction using exemplary practices with a focus on learning.
Goals:Continuous ImprovementConsistent and PervasiveQuality
Exemplary Practice #1
Collaborative Pairs
Learning Focused Solutions research states…
With your partner, which strategy is most important?
What should a lesson contain?*Acquisition lesson is used to teach a NEW concept/skill/knowledge in order to answer the LEQ.
*Activating strategies are used to activate or build background knowledge as well as to model/preview vocabulary, thinking strategies, and graphic organizers that may be new in the unit. Best planned after the teaching strategies.
*Graphic Organizers: You should have one in every lesson---not necessarily a new one. It can be an LFS graphic organizer or one you have created or found.
*Teaching Strategies: Instruction should be before the assessment prompt (distributed summarizing).Teach > Assessment prompt > Teach > Assessment
prompt > Teach > Assessment prompt … 2-4 extended thinking questions or activities should
be included in each lesson
*Summarizing: Should be distributed throughout the lesson—not just at the end! Key to knowing when and what to re-teach!
*Summarizing Strategies: should be written most of the time, not oral to answer the LEQ Ex: KWL, 3-2-1, $2.00 summary, learning logs, etc.

For every Lesson Essential Question (LEQ)you should have an
Acquisition Lesson with 2-4 higher level extended thinking questions and/or activities
or an Extended Thinking Lesson (EMTS)
Top 8Extended Thinking
Strategies
Include 2-4 extended thinking activities
and/or questions in acquisition lesson to “extend” or transfer previously learned concepts,
skills, or knowledge.

What are the benefits for teachers?
Learning-Focused helps teachers make decisions about:
Deciding what to teach Using what you already know to teach your best Connecting and using the most important practices/strategies in every lesson Helping your administration observe and understand your professional
teaching practices Finding instructional time for higher level thinking activities/lessons Quickly assessing student learning Differentiating instruction easily Quickly building background knowledge and moving students from where
they are Accelerating learning (previewing) Integrating writing, reading comprehension, and higher level thinking Focusing on key vocabulary and good vocabulary strategies
Summarizing Activity
Give One, Get One (strategy)
Using your graphic organizer on the back, move around the room and give ideas and get ideas to build your knowledge.
