• Increase understanding of importance of connecting feedback to learning targets and apply feedback ideas to own student work.
• Increase understanding of discourse strategies to activate students as resources for each other and commit to classroom implementation.
• Increase understanding of characteristics of good assessment questions for different purposes.

Exploring Tensions in Developing Assessment for Learning
•Acceptance that mistakes are an essential part of learning. •Mutual support for each other’s learning.•Trust that others will be supportive.•Willingness to take risks in trying new ideas.•Willingness to give and receive criticism.•A shared language of assessment and feedback.•Emphasis on dialogue and exploratory talk to support thinking.
•Shared belief in taking responsibility for one’s own learning.• Learning rather than performance orientation (mindset).

–What successes have you had in communicating learning targets with your students so far this year?
![Page 7: Blaine and Mount Vernon TWSSP Workshop September 21, 2013.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56649f495503460f94c6ab68/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Techniques you find to be particularly useful to increase
student understanding of learning targets.

•Goal-setting and Target-setting
•Self-instruction (self talking and self questioning- the skills for which need to be taught)
•Self-evaluation (much more important than self-monitoring because it requires extra step of evaluating what he or she has monitored)
Learning Strategies with the
Highest Effect Sizes
![Page 9: Blaine and Mount Vernon TWSSP Workshop September 21, 2013.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56649f495503460f94c6ab68/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The most important instructional decisions are made, not by the adults working in the system, but by the students themselves.

What do we want students to know?
How will students demonstrate their knowledge and skills?
How will we intervene for students that struggle and enrich for those who are proficient?
Four Questions
How can we use evidence of student learning to improve our individual and collective professional practice?
![Page 13: Blaine and Mount Vernon TWSSP Workshop September 21, 2013.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56649f495503460f94c6ab68/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
•What are the purposes of diagnostic vs discussion questions?•Can you remember a time when you used a well-crafted question to inform your teaching? What evidence do you have that your question was informative for you, as well as your students?•Can you remember a time when your planned question did not provide the results you were looking for? What prevented your question from providing actionable results?

• Think of every possible way a student can get the right answer with incorrect reasoning.
Exchange questions with another group.

When students know there are no additional opportunities to succeed, they frequently take teacher feedback on their performance and stuff it into desks, backpacks, and wastebaskets.

Initial Ideas Part 1
• What elements or characteristics were present in that academically productive discussion?
• What did that discussion look like? What was the teacher or facilitator doing? What were the students or participants doing?
Think back to a rich discussion that you have facilitated or participated in as a learner.
![Page 30: Blaine and Mount Vernon TWSSP Workshop September 21, 2013.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56649f495503460f94c6ab68/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Ground rules for discussion that would be useful in your own classroom.• Think about the ‘science specific ideas’ on the top of page 3. How could
similar discussions be structured in math, ELA, or social studies?• What elements you listed as necessary components of a rich discussion
were also listed in the article?• What elements that you thought were important for rich discussions
were missing from this article?
