Cultivating Teacher Clarity

Standard Deconstruction Mini PD

Molalla School District

March 2020

SIGNAL WORD: Deconstruct + For Clarity

3 of 23

  • Continue the implementation plan to move towards guaranteed & viable curriculum
  • Increase shared understanding about Deconstructing Standards
  • Provide a guided practice to deconstruct Priority Standards
  • Provide an opportunity for asking & answering questions

OBJECTIVES FOR THE DAY

Some Light Reading

Teacher Clarity starts with understanding the

standards . . . TOGETHER!

6 of 23

What is Deconstruction?

The process teams engage in to build clarity about the standard through collaboration

by breaking it down into

student-friendly learning targets.

Deconstructing Standards

  1. Write down the FULL Standard
  2. What is the Type of Target?

(Knowledge, Reasoning, Skills, Product, Disposition)

  • What are the Nouns? (Define as needed)
  • What are the Verbs? (Define as needed)
  • What are the Knowledge Targets that underpin the reasoning?
  • What are the Reasoning Targets?* Skills?* Products?*
  • Write Targets in Student Friendly Language

Types of Learning Targets

Record Key Words & Sketch to Remember

9 of 23

Five Types of Learning Targets

  • Knowledge Targets: Factual information, procedural knowledge, and conceptual understandings underpinning each discipline
  • Reasoning Targets: Thought processes students are to learn to do well within a range of subjects
  • Skill Targets: Demonstration or physical skill-based performance is at the heart of the learning
  • Product Targets: Where creation of a product is the focus of the learning. Specifications for quality of the product itself are the focus of teaching and assessment
  • Disposition Targets: Attitudes, motivations, and interests that affect students’ approach to learning

As you Deconstruct Standards

Remember If...Then...

  • If a standard is knowledge…
  • If a standard is reasoning then…
  • If a standard is a skill then…
  • If a standard is a product then…

Note: Disposition can both stand alone or be paired with any other target type.

K =

K targets

R =

K + R targets

S =

K + R + S targets

P =

K + R +S*+P targets

(*Not always S)

Target Type Practice

Using the targets in the envelope, sort them into the 5 types of targets.

  2. What is the Type of Target?
    1. (Knowledge, Reasoning, Skills, Product, Disposition)
  3. What are the Nouns? (Define as needed)

Time to Practice

K SL.1a Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., listening to others and taking turns speaking about the topics and texts under discussion).

1 RI.4 Ask and answer questions to help determine or clarify the meaning of words and phrases in a text.

2 RL.5 Describe the overall structure of a story, including describing how the beginning introduces the story and the ending concludes the action.

3 RI.1 Ask and (answer questions) to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.

4 RL.1 Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

5 RI.4 Determine the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words and phrases in a text relevant to a grade 5 topic or subject area.

Time to Practice (Elementary)

  • Write down the FULL Standard.

3.OA.8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

  • What is the Type of Target?
    • (Knowledge, Reasoning, Skills, Product, Disposition)
  • What are the Nouns? (Define as needed)
