FOCUS ONENDURING SKILLS?


Making the biggest impact with your student growth goal…

Begin here!


Questions to Ask

• Based on my content standards, what are the enduring skills*, concepts and processes students should master by the end of the school year/course?

• Is the learning identified enduring?

Questions!


Defining ENDURING

Learning that • ENDURES beyond a single test date• is of value in other discipline • is relevant beyond the classroom• is worthy of embedded, course-long focus• may be necessary for the next level of

instruction

Find the

“big

rocks”What are the big rocks, big concepts, underlying practices & processes of your content area?• Where can you find this info for your

content? What are the guiding documents of your content?

• Where is this info in your standards?

Highlight or underline the skills or competencies you notice in your standards document.

On your own…


Chart the skills you’ve underlined or highlighted.

Together…


Share one example

Share one example you feel confident about.


• Look at the examples identified by the Kentucky Department of Education for your content. Remember that these are not inclusive lists!• Are you on the right track for identifying enduring learning?

What can you learn from the list for your content?• If your identified learning is not on the list…

• Go back and check the criteria – does it match? Share with a colleague why you think it matches and come to agreement.

• If you agree, you have identified another one. • If not, now you have a better understanding of what enduring

is.

Handout


REMEMBER: You will want a list to choose from when you match your

student needs to the content focus! Revise this list as you teach this year. You may think of

more. This list can be used for other purposes beyond student

growth goal setting.

• Continue to work collaboratively through your standards

document to identify additional enduring skills. • Record digitally (Add to your content’s Enduring Skills Initial List)

• Use the tools:

*Enduring definition

*Your What It Is/What It Isn’t chart

*Initial Enduring Skills list for your content
