Learning Objectives
What does "TLWBAT" stand for?
The Learner Will Be Able To
What is the purpose of Time Analysis Coding?
To track and analyze how time is spent in the classroom.
What is the purpose of modeling in the classroom?
To demonstrate a skill or process so that students can observe and understand how to complete it themselves.
What is the lowest level of Bloom's Taxonomy?
Remembering.
What does specific praise focus on when given to a student?
It focuses on particular actions or qualities in the student’s work, helping reinforce what they did well.
True or False: A learning objective should be student centered?
True
Name two categories used in time analysis coding.
Instruction and management.
Name one common strategy used for scaffolding in the classroom.
Providing sentence starters or graphic organizers to help students organize their thoughts.
True or False: Webb’s Depth of Knowledge has four levels, with Level 1 being the simplest.
True.
True or False: Meaningful feedback should be immediate, specific, and constructive.
True.
What is a "hook" in a lesson meant to do?
Grab the students' attention.
If a teacher spends 15 minutes on instruction and 5 minutes on transitions in a 30-minute lesson, what percentage of time is spent on instruction?
50%. (15 minutes of instruction divided by 30 total minutes, then multiplied by 100).
True or False: Scaffolding should be gradually removed as students become more proficient.
True. As students gain confidence and skill, scaffolding is reduced to encourage independence.
In Bloom's Taxonomy, what level involves creating something new based on learned information?
Creating.
How does high-quality feedback impact a student’s learning?
It helps students understand their strengths and areas for improvement, guiding them toward their learning goals and increasing engagement.
What does "A, B, C, D" stand for in the learning objective?
Audience
Behavior (what students are expected to do)
Condition
Degree (how well students are expected to perform the behavior)
In time analysis coding, what category might include activities like taking attendance or giving instructions for a new task?
Management.
What’s the difference between modeling and scaffolding?
Modeling is when a teacher demonstrates a task or concept, while scaffolding involves providing temporary support to students as they practice the task until they can do it independently.
Which level of Webb’s Depth of Knowledge would require students to analyze and explain multiple solutions to a problem?
Level 3: Strategic Thinking.
Why is it important to use clear and simple language in feedback, especially in a virtual setting?
Clear, simple language prevents misunderstandings, especially when non-verbal cues are missing, ensuring students fully understand the feedback.
What is is called when students link new information to prior knowledge, or past experiences?
Making connections
If a teacher's time analysis coding form shows 120 total time boxes, with 72 coded as “I” for instruction, what percentage of class time is dedicated to instruction?
60% (72 instructional boxes divided by 120 total boxes, then multiplied by 100).
Give an example of how a teacher might scaffold a complex writing assignment in stages.
A teacher might start by providing a graphic organizer to outline ideas, then model writing an introductory sentence, provide sentence starters for each paragraph, and gradually reduce support as students write each part of the assignment.
Describe how Bloom's "Analyzing" level compares to Webb’s Depth of Knowledge Level 2 (Skill/Concept).
Bloom's "Analyzing" level often aligns with Webb’s DOK Level 2 because both require students to examine parts of information, relationships, and ideas, though Bloom’s "Analyzing" can also extend to more complex reasoning depending on the task.
Describe one way to provide high-quality feedback in a virtual learning environment that promotes student growth.
Use video or audio feedback to personalize responses, addressing specific areas for improvement and acknowledging student effort, making the feedback more engaging and relatable.
