Session 2: Guiding Questions
Focus:Preparing for Classroom Instruction How will we know if they learned it? How will we respond when they don’t learn it? How will we respond when they already know it? (2009) Raising the Bar and Closing the Gap: Whatever it Takes
How do we design data-
driven instruction to
meet the needs of all learners?
I, II, III, IV, V
Guiding Questions for Data Literacy1. What is the learning target?
2. What are the criteria for success for the target?
3. What decisions do you need to make about the learning?
4. Does the evidence collected from the student(s) meet the criteria for success?
5. Is additional evidence needed (e.g., interview the student(s), etc.)?
6. What method will you use to provide feedback to the student(s) about the learning?
7. How will you provide opportunities for student(s) to use the feedback?
8. How will you modify your instruction to close any learning gaps that exist or enhance learning?

Formative Assessment Model
The Needs of Seeds Using Formative Assessment
Probes• Choose a probe
• Give to students
• Use data to plan
• What do you see?
What are Formative Assessment Probes?
• NSTA Publication• Formative assessment
probes were developed using the CTS process.
• Link key ideas in the standards to common misconceptions cited in research.

Why Use Formative Assessment Probes?
• Assessment for learning not assessment of learning
• Reveal the types of ideas your student have about common science concepts
• Examine student thinking for the purpose of informing teaching and learning
Types of Probes
• Justified List• Prediction• Familiar Phenomena• Friendly Talk

Learning Pathway
Designing Data Driven Instruction
1. Select the standard and objective.2. Collect resources for teaching and assessing
the objective.3. Perform pre-assessment using a two-tiered
prototype or probe.4. Adjust the learning pathway based on pre-
assessment data and support documents.
Case Study: Data Driven Instruction
Universal Design
for Learning (UDL) isUniversal Design for Learning
(UDL)A set of principles for curriculum
development that applies to the general
education curriculum to promote learning
environments that meet the needs of all
learners.
Principle I: Multiple Means of Representation
The what of learning• To give diverse learners
options for acquiring information and knowledge
• Present content in a variety of formats and modalities
Multiple Means of Representation
• Artifacts• Videos • Music • Movement • Text Readers• Manipulatives • Visual Displays • Anticipatory Guides • Graphic Organizers
Principle II:Multiple Means of Action and Expression
Judy Augatti
Multiple Means of Action and Expression
• Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down • Gallery Walks• Pair/Share• Chalkboard/Whiteboard Splash• Response Hold-Up Cards • Quick Draws • Numbered Heads Together• Line-Ups
Principle III: Multiple Means of Engagement
Taps into learners’ interests, offers appropriate challenges, and increases
Multiple Means of Engagement• Bounce Cards • Air Writing • Case Studies • Role Plays• Concept Charades • Response Hold-Up Cards • Networking Sessions• Simulations

UDL means
more students are:
•Engaged •Learning•Achieving•Motivated
Reflection 1. Jot down two ideas from your collected resources that address UDL (the “what”, “how” and “why”).
2. Turn to a neighbor and briefly discuss how UDL will impact your work in planning instruction.
Differentiated Instruction
Multiple Means of Representation
for ELLsNon-verbal• Modeling• Pictures• Realia/Concrete objects • Gestures• Manipulatives• Demonstrations• Hands-on• Picture dictionaries
Language Support• Word banks• Word walls• Labels• Graphic organizers• Sentence starters• Sentence frames
Multiple Means of Expressing for ELLs
• Role-play
• Illustrations/ Drawings / Visuals
• Gestures
• First language
Multiple Means of Engagement
• Student Interaction– Oral comprehension supports reading and
writing development
– Differentiate Collaborative Activities
Differentiated Instruction
What do gifted learners need in order to maximize their
learning?
Learning Needs of Gifted:Some, Not All
• Complexity: Abstract-thinking, Variety of concepts, subjects and strategies
• Depth: Higher levels of thinking, concepts
• Creativity: Open-endedness, choice
• Acceleration: Rapid pacing, Focus on Growth
• Relevance: Personal interest, Real-world problems and audiences, Connections
What does this mean for my classroom?
• Enrich, extend and accelerate the SCOS.• Differentiate through content, process and
product.
Tools and Strategies for Challenging Gifted
Learners Concept-Based Teaching Tiered Assignments Project-Based Learning Curriculum Compacting Independent Study with Rubrics Seminars
All with appropriate challenge!
Reflection
In groups of 2-3, share a strategy you have used or will use in order to support differentiated instruction.
Individualized Instruction
The Individual Case
Anthony, grade 5
Anthony, grade 5
• Review each data document you have received concerning Anthony and his development and needs.
• Discuss his strengths and weaknesses in your group.
Anthony, grade 5
• Imagine that Anthony is a student in your class. (Age regress as necessary.)
• Strategize ways that you might adapt and use some of the instructional resources you found earlier in working with a student like Anthony.
Kimi, grade 8
Kimi, grade 8
• Review each data document you have received concerning Kimi and her development and needs.
• Discuss her strengths and weaknesses in your group.
Kimi, grade 8
• Imagine that Kimi is a student in your class. (Age regress or progress as necessary.)
• Strategize ways that you might adapt and use some of the instructional resources you found earlier in working with a student like Kimi.
Addressing the whole child prepares future-ready students who are competitive for work and post-secondary education and prepared for life in the 21st century.
