Planning for teaching vs.
Planning for learning
Brainstorm with a partner.
What are the differences between
Planning for Teaching and Planning for
Learning?
Planning for Teaching
FRONTWARD DESIGN = LOOSELY ALIGNED
1. Topic: Identifies a
topic of study from the Scope
and Sequence
2. Learning ActivitiesDevelops
lessons and activities to
help students learn about
the topic
3. AssessmentCreates an
assessment for the end of the unit (based on what has been
taught)
Planning for Learning
BACKWARD DESIGN = TIGHTLY ALIGNED
Performance Standards:
Closely examines
curriculum and then designs
lessons that are tightly aligned
to the Standards
(TEKS).
Evidence of Learning:
Design assessments (formative,
summative, tasks) that will allow
students to demonstrate what they have learned.
These should be tightly aligned to
the standards.
Learning Activities:
Selects strategies, structures, and
activities that will cause students to
engage in the content, context,
and cognitive rigor of the standards so that they will have
success on assessments.

Planning for Learning Model: The PLC
PLCThe primary purpose of the PLC is to PLAN FOR LEARNING by answering the following questions:
1. What do students need to know and be able to do?
2. How will we know when they’ve learned it?
3. What will we do if they haven’t learned it?
4. What will we do if they already learned it?
What do students need to know and be able to do?
PLC
CurriculumFirst step of Planning for Learning in an Instructional Unit: What do students need to know and be able to do?
PLCs examine the standards that make up the unit’s curriculum and plan how to best address those standards in the amount of time suggested.
How will we know when they’ve learned it?

CurriculumSecond step of Planning for Learning in an Instructional Unit: How will we know when they’ve learned it?
PLCs plan how to best assess those standards so that we will know whether the students learned at the appropriate levels or not.

Planning for Learning: The Lesson
What do students need to know and be able to do?Leading Standard
The leading standard is the target learning of a lesson.
Though one standard may be the primary target of a lesson, or the leading standard, other standards may also be addressed in a partnership with one another.
For example, if the leading standard is:create brief compositions that establish a central idea in a topic sentence.[4.18Ai]
A partner standard could be:use complete simple and compound sentences with correct subject-verb agreement.[4.20C]
What do students need to know and be able to do?PARTNER STANDARDS
Process skills are those skills needed for applying the content standards.
For example, if the leading standard is:create brief compositions that establish a central idea in a topic sentence.[4.18Ai]
Students will need to have this process skill inorder to apply the above standard:plan a first draft by selecting a genre appropriate for conveying the intended meaning to an audience and generating ideas through a range of strategies (e.g., brainstorming, graphic organizers, logs, journals).[4.15A]
What do students need to know and be able to do?PROCESS SKILLS
What do students need to know and be able to do? Guiding Questions for the PLC
• What will be the leading, or target, standard for this lesson?
• Are there standards that partner with this one? Are there standards that are prerequisites? How do I bundle these standards together?
• What process skills are necessary to the student’s ability to master the standard(s)?
• What is the cognitive rigor of the standard(s)?
• What content is addressed in the standard(s) and in what context will it be assessed?
• What is the current level of my students regarding their ability to demonstrate mastery over the standard(s)?
Activity #1Planning for Learning Activity
Activity #1Planning for Learning Activity
Get into small groups of 3-4 Elect one scribe to record your group’s thoughts on the provided handout Elect one member to share with the whole group after the activity All group members will engage in discussion around the following questions
Leading Standard
1. How does standard #2 serve the leading standard?
2. How does standard #3 serve the leading standard?
3. Do you think these three standards combine to create a focused and rigorous lesson? Why or why not?

1. How does standard #2 serve the leading standard?

3. Do you think these three standards combine to create a focused and rigorous lesson? Why or why not?
Planning for Learning Activity
1. Should a lesson contain so many standards? Why or why not?

2. Which example of grouped standards will lead to the most effective backward design of aligned instruction? Why?
3. How can this learning help you support the teachers on your campus?

Questions to Monitor Learning
• As you look at your curriculum to plan for learning, what criteria did you use to select the standards that you would teach?
• When you selected your leading standard, what was your thinking in selecting partnering and process standards?
• How do you know when to include partnering standards and process standards and when to limit the number?

Planning for Learning: The Lesson
Evidence of Learning: How will we know when they’ve learned it?
• How exactly will students demonstrate evidence of their learning at the end of the lesson cycle?
• How will you assess the evidence? (Examine multiple-choice data, rate with a rubric, etc.)
• What formative assessments and tasks can be used throughout the lesson cycle to monitor student progress?
Evidence of Learning: How will we know when they’ve learned it?
Evidence of LearningFormative:-Frequent
-Occurs before or during the unit of instruction
-For instructional purposes-Can be anything that informs you on student progress- May not be for a grade
Summative:- Less frequent - Occurs after unit of instruction - For evaluative purposes- Can be a test, a project, an essay, a presentation, etc.
- Example: Major test grade
Tasks:Task=Performance-Quality work products that allow students to engage in aligned learning-Lead students to the desired learning outcomes- May be scaffolded in order to help students work toward mastery of the standard(s)

Evidence of Learning
The best way to monitor teaching is to closely examine the learning: what are kids actually doing?
Monitoring for Learning Activity
Please rejoin your small
groups.
Scenario: Two science teachers have designed two different lessons, both focused on the same standard.
Both lessons are engaging and interactive. Both lessons have sound instructional practices.
Take 5 minutes to examine both lessons. Focus on what the kids are doing.
Upon initial examination, would you be pleased to witness both of these lessons? Why or why not?
Monitoring for Learning Activity
Now, take 3 minutes to examine the Standard Clarification.
Both teachers cited 5.5B as the target learning of the lesson.
What should the students know and be able to do as a result of the lesson?
Monitoring for Learning Activity
Key Question: Which lesson is aligned appropriately to the Student Expectation?
Monitoring for Learning Activity
Read through both lessons againCollect evidence that supports your conclusionBe prepared to share in 5 minutes
What if the evidence reveals a lesson that is not aligned to the standard?
Let’s Brainstorm !
Monitoring for Learning Activity
• As you taught this lesson, what did you have students to do that would indicate that all the standards that were selected were adequately addressed?
• What did you expect students to learn from this lesson? Was that outcome accomplished? If no, then why?
• When you teach the lesson again, what modifications will you make?
