8. Learning Intentions for the Day …
Continuing with ‘Creating Common Language’
Deepening our understanding of our student competencies.
Deepening our understanding of our instructional Pathways to Learning.
9. Learning Intentions for the Day …
Moving forward with ‘Learning the Work by Doing the Work’
Task Analysis:
We will be able to make predictions about student learning through academic
task analysis.
Teacher Learning Teams:
We will begin to learn how to collaborate with a learning team.
Co-Planning (for Co-Teaching and Co-Assessing):
We will be able to co-plan one or more ‘safe, purposeful, powerful’ tasks / units
with outcomes related to student competency development.
14. Learning Intentions for the Day …
Moving forward with ‘Learning the Work by Doing the Work’
Task Analysis:
We will be able to make predictions about student learning through academic
task analysis.
Teacher Learning Teams and Collaborative Models of Support (CMOS):
We will practice collaborating with a learning team and/or CMOS.
Co-Planning (for Co-Teaching and Co-Assessing):
We will co-plan one or more ‘safe, purposeful, powerful’ tasks / units with
outcomes related to student competency development.
17. Making Connections …
Our Pathways to Learning connects to this by …
What excites me about this connection …
A question I have about moving forward …

20. Learn the Work by Doing the Work …
Predicting what students will know and be
able to do …
through academic task analysis.
21. Task Predicts Performance …
What determines what students know and are able to
do is not what the curriculum says they are supposed to
do, or even what the teacher thinks he or she is asking
students to do. What predicts performance is what
students are actually doing.
ie. Memorization tasks may produce fluency in
memorization and recall, but not necessarily
understanding.
22. Learn the Work by Doing the Work …
Students have read a passage and are
completing questions on a worksheet.
Students will be able to
synthesize information from text.
Students are able to comprehend
information from a reading
passage.
Students will be able to locate some
information from some text.
Students will be able to sit and work
independently.
23. Specific, descriptive, non judgemental
information …
“Students listen to a guest speaker present about the effects of
global warming.”
Using evidence to predict what students will know
and be able to do:
Students will be able to think critically about energy consumption
decisions.
Students will know the impacts of global warming.
Students will know one speaker’s opinion about global warming.
Students will be able to listen to a presentation.
24. Specific, descriptive, non judgemental
information …
Ladder of Inference
The ladder of inference can
be helpful in providing both
an image and a language for
discussing what it means to
be descriptive. The bottom
rungs of the ladder are
objective description. As you
move up the ladder, you get
farther from the evidence
and closer to your beliefs,
assumptions, and
conclusions.
25. Task One Analysis …
TASK A
1. Read the task individually.
2. Brainstorm alone what students will know and be able to do after
completing this task.
3. Share out as a table and predict what students will know and be
able to do after completing this task.
TASK B
1. Read the task individually.
2. Brainstorm alone what students will know and be able to do after
completing this task.
3. Share out as a table and predict what students will know and be
able to do after completing this task.
26. Task Two Analysis …
TASK A
1. Read the task individually.
2. Brainstorm alone what students will know and be able to do after
completing this task.
3. Share out as a table and predict what students will know and be
able to do after completing this task.
TASK B
1. Read the task individually.
2. Brainstorm alone what students will know and be able to do after
completing this task.
3. Share out as a table and predict what students will know and be
able to do after completing this task.
27. Pathways to Learning: Strategies …
Let’s Go a Little Deeper with Task Two
Your table has made predictions for what students will know
and be able to do in the second Task B.
Now please spend a few minutes in discussion to identify which
of our Pathways’ instructional strategies have been activated in
this task design.
28. Sharing Task Two Predictions …
Sharing Out:
•Odd numbered tables please stand up and move to the
even numbered table one up from yours
(ie. table 1 moves to table 2, 33 to 34 and so on).
•Two groups make a larger circle around the even
numbered table.
•Each group then take turns sharing out:
• What your group predicted students would know and
be able to do in Task A and then Task B
• Which Pathways’ strategies your table felt were
activated in the Task B design
29. Specific, descriptive, non judgemental
information …

and closer to your beliefs,

30. Task Tuning …
1. READ: Turn the planning guide to the side with the ‘Action
Planning: Unit or Task Design’ and read the task.
2. PREDICT: Complete an individual and then a table group list of
predictions about what students will know and be able to do if they
complete this task.
3. COMPARE: Now turn the page over to compare your predictions
to what the teacher is intending for the students to learn.
(Specifically look for the information under ‘The Competencies’
labelled as the Learning Standards.)
4. TUNE: Now talk at your table and document adjustments to ‘Tune
the Task’ until your predicted learning outcomes match what the
teacher is intending.
31. Activity: Predict, Co-Plan, and Triad …
Individual:
•Each member of your table documents your group’s Task 3
conversation for predicting student learning and how to Tune the
Task (5 minutes).
Triad:
•Stand up, hands up, group up (make a triad from 3 different tables).
•Dialogue for common understanding and new ideas (3 x 3 minutes).
•Create a synthesis on your placemat.
Table Group:
•Share out to your group (6 x 2 minutes).
32. Teacher Learning Teams …
Learning Teams are pairs or groups of teachers supporting each other
through co-planning, co-teaching, and co-assessing for the benefit of their
students.
•Provide a broader sense of teacher expertise and approaches
(instructional, skills, content)
•Can be more responsive when they are able to approach challenges with a
greater variety of options
•Develop a deeper understanding of students through each other’s
reflections and approaches
•Provide a balanced approach to teacher practice (ie. What causes one
teacher to be stressed can cause another to be excited and vice versa.)
•Support teacher confidence and risk-taking
•Report to be more motivated and invigorated by working together
•Inherently provide job-embedded teacher learning and mentoring
