Lesson Importance is…

Explicitly teaching students why learning the new content and concepts are important.

Page 12: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Why do we want you to know about this Direct Instruction component?

Because knowing the importance of what is taught provides motivation for students and increases student engagement

Hollingsworth and Ybarra, 2009

Page 13: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

?Research

A lack of student engagement is a predictor of dropping out of school.

(Rumberger, 2004)

Engaged students learn more, retain more, and enjoy learning more.

(Dowson and McInerney, 2001)

Page 14: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Research

Students… Learn at higher levels and have a profound

grasp of what they learn Retain what they learn Can transfer what they learn to new

contexts

Schlechty Center for Leadership in School Reform

A Model for Making Instructional Decisions

Strategy Student TeacherAttention How do I

feel?

Am I interested?

Do I have their attention?

Engagement Is this important?

Can I do it?

Are they engaged?

Page 16: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Are they engaged?If students do not perceive classroom tasks as important, engagement will be muted or non-

existent.

E Your engagement: We are going to practice the Checking for Understanding strategy

of a “Whip Around”. (See webinar resources.)

Brainstorm the reasons why understanding the importance of a lesson is crucial to learning.

E

Page 17: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

When to Highlight Lesson Importance

Lesson importance is not taught at any specific time in the lesson.

The deciding factor is how soon students understand the concept.

Page 18: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

When?

The lesson importance can be an introduction to the concept, if the concept is easily understood.

Example: Persuasive Writing using the strategy of “Graffiti Wall”.

Page 19: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Graffiti WallGive an example of when you have had to persuade your parents…..

Give an example of when you have had to persuade your teacher…

Give an example of when you have had to persuade your friends…

Give an example of when you have had to persuade the police….

Page 20: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Using the Graffiti Wall to Emphasize Lesson Importance

Now ask students:Why is it important for you to learn to write persuasively?

Page 21: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

When?

The lesson importance can be later in the lesson when the concept is more difficult to understand.

Example: Understanding inferences and how they are used by practicing the strategy of student independent research on real life applications.

Page 22: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Homework and Follow Up

After direct instruction on inference, the following homework assignment is given.

MODEL: A lot of business decisions are made by making inferences. For example, businesses put together

information to infer what customers want and why.

Example: Mountain Dew commercials imply drinking this soda is associated with having a good time.

Page 23: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

So when?

1. At the beginning of the lesson When students have information they can apply to the

importance

2. Later in the lesson When the teacher provides information or demonstrates

examples to help students understand the importance of the lesson

Page 24: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Categories for Providing Lesson Importance Personal Importance

Connecting to student interests Connecting to student ambitions

Academic ImportanceRelated to grade level standard articulationConnected to future learning and assessments

Real Life ImportanceConnecting to specific careersConnecting to societal issues

Page 25: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Example: 2nd Grade ELA Standard

ELA Standard (Grade 2): Recognize cause-and-effect relationships in a text.

Learning Objective: Students will recognize, or look for, cause-and-effect in a story.

Page 26: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Cause and effect is when one action makes something else happen.

CAUSE

A reason for something happening

Why did it happen?

EFFECT

The result or consequence of something happening

What happened?

Page 27: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

There are signal words that will help you to identify the two parts of a cause/effect relationship. The most common signal words are: because, if, when, so, then.

Mark was grounded because he wasn’t on behaving at school..

In the sentence above, the word because signals a cause-effect relationship.

Page 28: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Example ELA: Real Life Importance

Connecting to specific careers

Connecting to societal issues

Ask student why people in the following jobs need to understand cause and effect relationships? Police investigators Scientists Historians Doctors Newspaper reporters Automobile mechanics

Page 29: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Example ELA: Personal Importance

If we understand the consequences of our own behavior, perhaps we can modify our behavior in a way that will allow us to lead happier, safer lives.

Connecting to student interests Connecting to student

ambitions We can avoid poor

choices when we understand the effects of those choices

Page 30: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Example ELA: Academic Importance

Related to grade level standard articulation

Connected to future learning and assessments

Because writers use cause and effect frequently in stories, recognizing it will help us become better READERS and better WRITERS.

Helps us to have better comprehension of what happens in the story and why it happened.

Page 31: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Check for Understanding

Why is it important to recognize cause and effect in a story?

Can anyone else tell me why it is important?

Page 32: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

After reading each sentence, students will underline the word (because, if, when, so, then) that signals a cause and effect relationship. Then they will identify the relationship.

1.Tim forgot his math book, so he was unable to complete his homework.

Cause:Effect:

2. Keegan was hungry because he skipped lunch.Cause:Effect:

3.The boy was surprised when the lizard darted across the rock.

Cause: Effect:

Page 33: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

History Social Science Examples

Economics Standard (Grade 12) -12.4 Students analyze the elements of the U.S. labor market in a global setting.

Learning Objective: Students will be able to describe the current economy and labor market, including the types of goods and services produced, the types of skills workers need, the effects of rapid technological change, and the impact of international competition.

Page 34: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Personal Importance

Learning about the effects of technology and the changing world of technology will be important if you one day become a business owner and plan to sell products through technological means. It is also important to all of us as we need to make sure we are technologically prepared with the skills needed for many of our future jobs.

Page 35: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Checking for Understanding

Audience Participation:

Consider a job you might be interested in pursuing in the future or currently hold. List a technological skill you might need in order to be better prepared and/or more marketable for this job.

Type in your answer.

Page 36: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Academic Importance

Learning about the components of the labor market is important in helping you pass your Economics semester exam. For those of you considering business careers, it will be critical in helping you pass other exams (such as CFA) that will improve your chances of obtaining a job.

Page 37: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Checking for Understanding

The teacher can asks students to:

Restate one reason why this information is academically important from those given;

State one additional reason this information might be academically important to them or to a business professional.

Page 38: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Real-Life Importance

Example Strategy: Invite Guest SpeakersThe teacher asks a journalist with the Economist to join his class via video conference to discuss the recent economic recession. Students prepare questions about the causes and effects (both long and short term) of the recession and are encouraged to ask the journalist advice about what might happen in the future.

Page 39: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Possible Student Questions

Some students may ask what is safe to invest in Some students may ask what fields of study will

ensure safe and successful careers One student is an aspiring painter and may want to

know what might happen to grants and scholarships in the near future

Page 40: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Checking for Understanding

After the conference, students have a roundtable discussion about what they learned and why the state of the economy is relevant to politics, history, scientific and artistic movements, and their own daily lives.

Page 41: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Page 42: Focused Learning Through Direct Instruction Session Four: Instruction That Works: Lesson Importance and Checking for Understanding Presented by : Lorna.

Revisiting Our Learning Objectives Participants will determine why teachers need to identify the

importance of a lesson for students.

Participants will learn about the different categories used to provide reasons for lesson importance, with examples provided.

Participants will be provided additional strategies for checking for understanding.
