Learning Targets• I can develop group norms that will enable my PLC to work
efficiently and effectively to improve student success.• I can describe my life through nonlinguistic and linguistic
representations. Activity: All About Me Book.• I can use Universal Design for Learning strategies that enable
every learner to become proficient and beyond.• I can implement vocabulary strategies and formative
assessment into unit plans to ensure my students are totally engaged.
• I can use CHAMPS to design a school wide discipline plan to ensure my students are totally engaged.
We will begin this journey today and finish what time does not permit during PLC times.
A Universal Design for Learning Approach
One size fits most, does not apply in education!
What is Universal Design for Learning?
• In today's schools, the mix of students is more diverse than ever. Educators are challenged to teach all kinds of learners to high standards, yet a single classroom may include students who struggle to learn for any number of reasons. (Please read the article.)
http://montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/hiat/udl/UDL_intro.pdfvideo
The goal of education in the 21st century is not simply the mastery of knowledge. It is the mastery of learning. Education should help turn novice learners into expert learners—individuals who know how to learn, who want to learn, and who, in their own highly individual ways, are well prepared for a lifetime of learning.
Universal Design for Learning helps meet the challenge of diversity by suggesting flexible instructional materials, techniques, and strategies that empower educators to meet these varied needs. A universally designed curriculum is designed from the outset to meet the needs of the greatest number of users, making costly, time-consuming, and after-the-fact changes to curriculum unnecessary.

Three primary principles guide UDL—and provide structure for these Guidelines:Principle I: Provide Multiple Means of Representation (the “what” of learning).
Visual presentations like www.unitedstreaming.com, enlarged print, audio text support, movie maker, PowerPoint, internet links, access to sound clips, definitions, or pictures
Principle II: Provide Multiple Means of Expression (the “how” of learning).
Graphic outlining tools, keyboarding with spelling support, multimedia books, product models, drawing, video or photos, collages, graphs
Principle III: Provide Multiple Means of Engagement (the “why” of learning).
Provide learning choices:
Audio, visual, hands-on
Webquests
Project based inquiry
Cooperative learning projects
Multimedia projects; Teachertube.com

CHAMPS CHAMPS ReviewReview
Greatness is not something to strive
for, rather it is something to look for
in others.Find something positive about every student in your
classroom on a daily basis!
What is C.H.A.M.P.s??
• CHAMPs is a decision-making template to assist educators in developing a classroom management plan and implementing it successfully.
• CHAMPs provides a common vocabulary for all to use in the promotion of a positive, learning centered culture.
The CHAMPs approach is centered around proactive, positive steps taken by teachers in the classroom. It preserves individual preferences and respects teacher competence.
Guidelines for Success – The 5 P’s
• Prompt – Be on time.• Prepared – Have your materials and
completed assignments out and ready at the start of class.
• Productive - On task and actively involved in the learning process.
• Polite - Show respect to self, others and property.
• Positive – Be optimistic about learning.
The goal of positive behavior support is not “perfect”
children. Rather, the goal should be the perfect
environment for enhancing their growth.
-John Marzano
Motivation
“Motivating is like bathing – if you only do it once, it
isn’t that effective.”-Golom
The Big Picture An effective classroom managementplan is similar to space travel in thatboth must address: Vision and high expectations Structure and organization Procedures to energize and reinforce Procedures for course corrections
The Big Picture Our students are with us on thisjourney. The students who are motivated andresponsible are like crew members. The students who are responsible, but not terribly motivated are like passengers.
BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND….Vision: When you know where you areheaded, you can guide students towardtheir own success.
Organization: When you have well organizedroutines and procedures for yourclassroom, you model and promptorganized behavior from your students.
Expectations: When your expectations areclear, students never have to guess howyou expect them to behave.
Learning Target:•I can use CHAMPS to design a school wide discipline plan to ensure my students are totally engaged.
Correction Procedures: When you treat studentmisbehavior as an instructional opportunity, yougive students the chance to learn from theirmistakes.
The behavior you attend to the most will be the one that you will see more of in the future.
Classwide Motivation Systems: When youimplement class wide systems appropriate to thecollective needs of your students, you can enhancestudent motivation to behave responsibly and strivefor success.

The CHAMPs Acronym Conversation: Can students talk to each other duringthis activity/transition? Help: How can students ask questions during thisactivity/transition? How do they get your attention? Activity: What is the task/objective of thisactivity/transition? What is the expected endproduct? Movement: Can students move about during thisactivity/transition? Can they sharpen their pencil? Participation: What does appropriate student workbehavior for this activity/transition look/sound like?
Expectations It is noted that clearly defined behavior
expectations are not enough. Expectations must also be communicated and
taught in a 3-step process:1 Teach your
expectations beforethe activity or
transition begins.2 Monitor student
behavior bycirculating and
visually scanning.3 Provide feedbackduring and at theconclusion of the
activity.Begin the cycle again for the
next activity
The 1st Month: When you teach students how tobehave during the 1st month of school, youdramatically increase their chances of having aproductive year. See 4th grade presentation
Motivation: When you implement effectiveinstruction and positive feedback, you motivatestudents to demonstrate their best behavior.
Monitor & Revise: When you monitor what isactually going on in your classroom, you are able tomake adjustments to your Classroom ManagementPlan that will increase student success.
The following slides are examples of how to begin the year.

What happens if I don’t make good choices?
Consequences:

3rd time: Check mark on number, phone call home
4th time: Another check mark, detention
What happens if I do make good choices?
If you make good choices, you will be given tickets. You will need to collect these in a ziploc bag that will be stapled to your planner. Once you have collected 20 tickets, you will get to pick a reward from the chance board! There are all kinds of fun things hidden on the board! Good luck! Remember it is YOUR responsibility to keep track of your tickets.
Expectations Outside of the Classroom
Behave
like
shining
stars!!!
Final Thoughts!• The kind of year we have is up to you!• If you need ANYTHING, please ask!• If you don’t understand or have a question,
ALWAYS ask. Someone else is probably wondering the same thing.
• Remember, I am here to help you learn! That is my job. We are a classroom community of learners.
• Treat others as you would like to be treated.• We will always be respectful to each other. You
will probably spend more time with your “school family” than you will spend at home with your family during the school week.
• I have high expectations and will always expect your best. In return, I will always give you my best.

Clapping• Beginning and Ending Routines• Classroom Rules• Student Work• Classroom Management Plan
Learning Target:•I can use CHAMPS to design a school wide discipline plan to ensure my students are totally engaged.
• Organization: Classroom RulesExample rules:• Arrive on time with all of your
materials.• Keep hands, feet, and objects to
yourself.• Work during all work times.• Follow directions immediately.
Your Role…• Work with your PLC to come up with
rules and consequences that we will use school wide in every classroom. One person needs to record ideas to share out on the poster paper.
• Next, we will work to have one classroom management method. For example: everyone’s name/number placed on the side daily. Then erased for breaking rule. See handout.
Guide Lines:• No more than 5- 6 simply stated
rules and consequences• Must be proactive- state the
positive, like please walk in the classroom, hallway, etc.
• Consequences cannot include recess
• Detentions can be used, think about your grade level taking turns
• K/1 can have a separate behavior plan than 2-5

Assessment for learningAssessment for learning
Formative Assessment--any practice which provides information to
pupils about what to do to improve--any practice which takes the ‘what to improve’
into ‘how to improve’--is part of effective planning--focuses on how pupils learn--is central to classroom practice--is a key professional skill--fosters motivation
What are summative and formative assessment?
If we think of our children as plants …
Summative assessment of the plants is the process of
simply measuring them. These do not affect the growth
of the plants. Formative assessment, on the other hand,
is the equivalent of feeding and watering the plants
appropriate to their needs - directly affecting their growth.

Pupil- self evaluation
The Active Involvement of Students in their own Learning
The Black Box: findings
1. Providing effective feedback to students.
2. Students’ active involvement in their own learning.
3. Adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment.
4. Recognizing the profound influence of assessment on students’ motivation and self-esteem - both crucial influences on learning.
5. Ensuring pupils assess themselves and understand how to improve.
Black and Wiliam’s research indicates that improving learning through assessment depends on five deceptively simple factors:
Types of Formative Assessment
Flashbacks• About constant review• Can take many formats• Should be quick- 5 or less• About what you did- not what you are
currently teaching• Scored quickly• Can contain frequently missed
questions from last unit assessment
See example
Pre-AssessmentsUse data to differentiate curriculum for
students
Students can self assess based on pre-assessments to see what they need to concentrate/study
Exit Slips• About what you did today• 3-5 questions that reflect outcomes• If students can’t pass exit slips, they cannot
pass unit assessment• Scored on the spot, individually remediated
with students (next day)• Give daily for five points a piece• You must be willing to allow students to
correct them for full credit
Journals• Boost ORQ scores• Teaches students to communicate
content knowledge in writing• Review and provide specific
feedback
One Minute Papers• Give students one to three minutes to
answer a question• Questions: What is the most important
thing you learned about this concept? What was the most confusing concept that was presented today?
• Photocopy or use document camera to show student responses. Discuss them, fix misconceptions, etc.
Talk a Mile a Minute• Give student an index card with a
concept on it. Have student work with partner to talk a mile a minute with everything they know about the concept.
ORQs, Short Answer, Multiple choice,
Questioning,Inside/Outside Circle
All can be used when helping the student instructionally with specific feedback
What we know about feedback and formative
assessment• Focus on learning target• Aim to close the gap• Indicate successes• Give specific improvement suggestions• Allow time for improvements to be
made• Model the processes
Example Feedback..• Higher students- Say more about…
Explain why you think…• Useful for Most students- scaffolded
approachQuestion- Can you explain why the army was
tired?Describe some of the preparations made by
William that show…..William showed that he was a skillful leader when
he….
Why did William win the battle of the Hastings?
(Student Response) William won the Battle of Hastings because he was better prepared and he waited for the right time. First Harold’s army was attacked by Hardrada. Then Godsinson came back for more and killed Hardrada. Then he went to Hastings with no rest to fight the Normans. The Norman army were ready for war and Harold came to the top of the hill. William ran up the hill with all of his might but he was pushed down. He used the retreat trick. He ran away and the English chased him and surrounded him. He turned and shot Godwinson in the eye and he died.
Feedback (from teacher)Jason- A big point to start off your answer clearly focusing
on the question. Yes, this was very important in helping William win the battle. The retreat was a clever tactic in battle- well identified.
TARGET- Jason, it would be really useful to add a conclusion to this answer. Which of these two examples do you prefer… (write the examples on their paper) or you can write your own.
Be specific with feedback
We want formative assessment to be an instructional learning experience that helps students reach proficiency. Coach them with formative assessment. The more modeling and coaching, the more apt you are to have students reach proficiency and beyond!
Success Criteria• Give students what a sample 4
looks like… post teacher written 4s on bulletin board
• Provide a teacher or student model for students to use as a guide
