Engaged Learning and Best Use of Technology

Lesson Sequence Part II

Discuss Plan

Week 1:	Burning Questions Review End Products Implemention Plan Future Action Plan Field Test your Project Reflections Final Exam Mini lesson: Model using the project rubric to assess an online project and sharing the implementation for participants. Group sharing: Project and Implementation Plan Presentations Participants will complete a project rubric as they listen to the presentations to determine if the indicators of EL and BUT are present in the project. Participants give feedback to the presenter so that revisions can be made as needed. Questions should be asked by facilitators to lead participants to recognize what needs to be added to the projects. Facilitators should collect the completed rubrics after the group sharing. Resources Analyzing A Project Collect Implementation Plans for assessment.
Week 2:	Burning Questions Mini lessons: Learner Outcomes, Aligning Outcomes with State Learning Standards, Assessment , and Rubric Design Learner Outcomes- It is important to emphasize that the learner outcomes become the target of your rubric. Bridging the Gap Projects with good Learner Outcomes Assessment Resources-Participants need to realized that each day they implement the project they need to have some kind of formal or informal assessment in place so that they will be able to monitor student progress. It could be a mini conference, a reflection, a student activity plan, etc. Assessment, Evaluation, and Rubrics, Discussion Plan Enhancement with Learning The Absense Of Assessment For Learning Inside the Black Box: Raising Standards Through Classroom Assessmen Assessment Strategies and Definitions Assessment Project Round Table- This activity offers participants a chance to share how the topic of the mini lesson relates to their implementation experience to date. After sharing, discussing, and trouble-shooting, students can pair off to revise and critique as needed so that their project starts to be fine tuned. Essentially, this is the beginning of the Future Plan of Action. Students may use these notes and ideas from discussion and sharing as the core of their action plan. This format will be repeated each class session as each element of engaged learning and BUT are share and discussed. Future Plan of Action- Students will use the suggestions and ideas shared in the Project Round Table and during peer conferencing to begin writing their Future Plan of Action. This plan will include the revisons and suggestions that the participant uses to get the project ready for future implementation. Our goal is to have the participant fine tune it so that it will be a fantastic future project. Questions, answers, reflections Reflection suggestions: What realizations did you come to that will allow you to move forward in your project revision? Explain a concept that became clearer to you today? During this week's class, what was helpful to you, and what realizations/ideas became clearer?
Week 3:	Burning Questions Mini lessons: Task and Hook and Revising a Task and Hook Bridging the Gap Projects with Good Tasks Sample Hooks Projects with Good Hooks Project Round Table- (See note in Week 2) Continue writing Future Plan of Action Questions, answers, reflections Reflection suggestions: During this week's class, what was helpful to you, and what realizations/ideas became clearer to you? What were the three most interesting and/or puzzling things that came up today?
Week 4:	Burning Questions Mini lesson: Student Direction and the Facilitators Role in the Project Student Direction Bridging the Gap Projects with good Student Direction Facilitators Role in the Project Project Round Table-(See note in Week 2) Continue writing the Future Plan of Action Questions, answers, reflections Reflection suggestions: What do you feel good about at this point in time? What do you need to know more about? How bright is that light at the end of the tunnel? What is left on your TO-DO list?
Week 5:	Burning Questions Mini lessons: Best Use of Technology and Analyzing for Best Use of Technology Bridging the Gap Projects with good Best Use of Technology Assessing Assignment Hierarchy Project Round Table- (See note in Week 2) Continue work on Future Plan of Action Scaffolding: If participants finish field testing and refining the project and have finished the Future Plan of Action, they may want to look for another project that could be used in their classrooms and begin the process again. Questions, answers, reflections Reflection suggestions: What indicators of best use of technology are found in your project/proposal or the example project What revisions need to be made to the BUT in the project you selected?
Week 6:	Burning Questions Grouping Classroom Management with an EL Project Classroom Management Process Guides for the Students Scaffolding to meet students' needs Models of Success:Scaffolding lessons Submit Future Plan of Action Questions, Answers, and reflections Reflection suggestions: What questions do you still have about the content discussed today? What obstacles do you anticipate and how will you overcome them?
Week 7:	Final Assessment: Participants will use the Project Rubric to evaluate two projects to identify the elements of Engaged Learning and BUT. Collect Reflections Collect final Course Evaluations
