Description: Do you want to increase levels of engagement and student-centered goal setting? Research is clear on the effectiveness of communicating goals and expectations with students, but how do we put that into practice? Join us as we journey through an important part of Standards-Based Teaching and Learning. You will create and use learning targets to inform student progress, and future steps towards personalization. You will explore how learning targets and their use in the classroom helps students connect learning to their goals of mastery of standards and competencies.
Rationale: Teachers will be able to:
- Understand the why, research behind learning targets
- Unpack a standard to create learning targets
- Analyze learning activities and evidence for alignment with level of rigor in learning targets
- Understand how learning targets can be used as a tool for informing student learning, progress, and future steps towards personalized learning.
