• I understand how to embed AFL strategies seamlessly into my teaching to make student learning more powerful.
• I can plan a next step.

• Connec&ons: How does what you read connect with what you already knew?
• Summarizing: Choose a way to show the main ideas and details in what you read.
• Inferencing: Read between the lines to find something that you believe to be true, but that isn’t actually said. Explain your reasoning.
• Vocabulary: Here are 3 challenging words from the text. Explain what you think they mean.
• Reflec&ng: Was this easy or hard to understand? How did you help your self understand? (SD, p.23)
Assessment for Learning

Frameworks
It’s All about Thinking – Brownlie & Schnellert, 2009
Universal Design for Learning
MulHple means: -‐to tap into background knowledge, to acHvate prior knowledge, to increase engagement and moHvaHon
-‐to acquire the informaHon and knowledge to process new ideas and informaHon
-‐to express what they know.
Rose & Meyer, 2002
Backwards Design
• What important ideas and enduring understandings do you want the students to know?
• What thinking strategies will students need to demonstrate these understandings?
McTighe & Wiggins, 2001

Essential Lesson Components
• EssenHal quesHon/learning intenHon/a big idea • Open-‐ended strategies: connect-‐process-‐transform • DifferenHaHon – choice, choice, choice • Assessment for learning • Gradual release of responsibility
QuesHoning – gr. 2/3 Goal: creaHng real quesHons, using quesHons to
link background knowledge with new informaHon, create curiosity
• Present an image. • Ager each image, ask students to pose quesHons about the image and to resist the urge to answer someone else’s quesHon.
• Repeat with 3-‐4 images.
Salmon Creek – Anneie LeBox & Karen Reczuch 2002, Douglas & McIntyre
Questioning – Joni Tsui • IntroducHon to earthquakes in geology 12. • Students have all seen earthquakes in previous classes (some more than others).
• We completed the acHvity and I made sure every student in class wondered at least one thing.
• How is this effecHve teaching?
• How is this assessment for learning?
• How could I adapt this to use with my students, in my context?
Goal: more descripHve feedback J. Mercuri, McBride Secondary
• Grade 10 socials students – first drag of essay • Explained the rubric to the grade 12 English students, then they used the rubric to highlight the anonymous essays
• Grade 12 students included with their feedback, 2 stars and a wish
• Grade 10 students used the feedback to revise their essay, then handed them in for marks
Goal: self assessment, ownership
• Highlight your notes with the 3 colours – helps you find what you need to focus on
• Code your own quizzes with coloured pencils, before handing in
• Consider your errors – how many were careless?
Goal: Learning IntenHons, self assessment Kate Giffin, gr. 4/5

Assistance please!
Where I get stuck…
I can create equivalent fracHons.
I can reduce a fracHon to its lowest terms.

How can I help my students develop more depth in their responses? They are wriHng with no voice when I ask them to imagine themselves as a demi-‐god in the novel.
Students need:
• to ‘be’ a character • support in ‘becoming’ that character • to use specific detail and precise vocabulary to support their interpretaHon
• choice • pracHce • to develop models of ‘what works’ • a chance to revise their work
The Plan
• Review scene from novel • Review criteria for powerful journey response • Brainstorm who you could be in this scene • 4 minute write, using ‘I’ • Writers’ mumble • Stand if you can share… • What can you change/add/revise? • Share your wriHng with a partner
Stand if you have…
• A phrase that shows strong feeling… • A phrase that uses specific names…
• A parHcularly descripHve line – using details from the novel…
• An effecHve first line…
• Now, what will you change? What can you add, delete, revise?
Criteria
• Write in role – use ‘I’ • Use specific names
• Phrases/words that show feeling • ParHcularly descripHve details of the event • Powerful first line
• What will you change ager listening to others?
• How is this effecHve teaching?
• How is this assessment for learning?
• How could I adapt this to use with my students, in my context?
