5. “ …a focus on technology is not “about” the technology itself, but about changing teacher practice, motivating our students, and creating learning experiences that will be applicable to their world and future workplaces. Robert Marzano ”
6. Our Goal… Show you, the teacher, how to think about using technology to help your students practice concepts, engage in higher-order thinking, and problem solve.
7. Developing a Habit of Mind Technology Integration What do you think about technology? What do you think about technology in the classroom? How does technology integration enhance instruction? How would you like to integrate technology into your classroom? Webspiration

21. How can I elevate student interest and engagement? Adding short streaming clips to your teacher toolbox can have a positive impact on your classroom and your presentation. Multimedia
26. Why Lesson Planning? Good Planning Positive interactions between students and teachers Focused instruction Learned objectives Building background knowledge Well paced Resourcefulness Quality learning High expectations of students Poor Planning Frustration for the teacher and the student Activity focused Unmet objective No connections to prior learning Disorganization Lack of needed materials A waste of time Poor management
29. Planning for Teaching & Learning Define the focus of instruction Curriculum Map Lesson Objective including level of rigor Establish evidence of proficiency What evidence will I accept that my students know and can do what is stated in my lesson objective? Design theassessment Demonstration of Learning (DOL) Develop thelearning experiences Choosing the appropriate Instructional Strategy and Learning Activities Check for Understanding Student Engagement
30. 1. Define the Focus of Instruction Curriculum Map Always start with the “end” in mind. What do I want students to know and be able to do at the end of my lesson or unit of study? What are the essential skills students need to know? What does my grade level curriculum pacing guide tell me students should know and be able to do at this point in the school year? Lesson Objective What is the specific lesson objective for this lesson? Consistent format clearly stated what is to be achieved. Convert lesson objectives to student friendly language. Level of Rigor What is the desired level of rigor? Or evaluate the level of existing rigor in the curriculum pacing guide.
32. Now It’s Your Turn Choose a lesson plan template that you will use. Begin by inserting your lesson objective in the provided space.

34. Philosophy First Formative vs. Summative FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT Formal and informal processes teachers and students use to gather evidence for the purpose of improving learning SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT Assessments that provide evidence of student achievement for the purpose of making a judgment about student competence or program effectiveness
35. Self Reflection on Current Practice Directions How do I decide what assessments best match my objectives? What evidence will I accept that my students know and can do what is stated in my lesson objective? How do I share scoring criteria in advance with students? In what ways are students able to monitor their own progress against the criteria? What do I do with the data? How can technology help with this process?
36. 2. Establish Evidence of Proficiency What evidence will I accept that my students know and can do what is stated in my lesson objective? How will we know that students have achieved the desired results? What will we accept as student understanding and proficiency? Students need to clearly understand expectations and the criteria on which their work will be judged. Evidence should be gathered through a variety of informal and formal assessments.
37. 3. Design the Assessment Choose the appropriate task to measure student understanding Multiple choice, project, formal assessment, essay, lab, speech, portfolio. Communicate your proficiency expectations to students before the lesson begins. The “doing” of the assessment is the Demonstration of Learning.
38. Designing Effective DOLs Characteristics of a good DOL: Designed before the lesson is conducted Tied directly to the lesson objective and the guaranteed curriculum Can usually be accomplished in five to ten minutes Requires students to demonstrate what they have learned over the last class Varies from day to day Is understandable to students and parents

55. We need an instructional approach that will equip students with real-world, problem solving skills, plus teach them the content they must master to be an educated person. Ted McCain
56. 4. Develop the Learning Experiences Choosing the appropriate Instructional Strategy and Learning Activities What should students know and be able to do to perform effectively and achieve results? What activities will equip students with the needed knowledge and skills? What materials and resources are best suited to accomplish these goals? Match characteristics of the strategy, the learner and what needs to be learned. Most strategies are used simultaneously with others to enable students to make deeper connections to learning.
57. Choosing the appropriate Instructional Strategy and Learning Activities Launching Activity “Hook” students into learning Consider the interests of students and create excitement for learning. Strategies and Learning Activities develop and demonstrate the expected skills and knowledge for the lesson objective and the assessment (DOL). Activities must be consistent with the levels of knowledge and application as well as connected to the identified student work-student performance.
68. Use “structures” to keep students engaged and organize interactions with students
