Planning With a Purpose:
According to the authors of Intentional and Targeted Teaching, Planning with a Purpose begins with intentionality. Lesson/unit design should provide students with the necessary frame to link what they are learning to existing and new knowledge. Planning with a purpose consists of many components:
- Learning Intentions and Progressions pg. 16: Identify the learning intentions (which provide students with information about what they will learn) and create a series of lessons that will ensure students develop proficiency
- Evidence of Learning pg.33: Students need to know how they will be expected to demonstrate the learning and how they , themselves will know if they have learned the content. This is often referred to as success criteria.
- Meaningful learning pg. 38: Create learning experiences that engage students and are aligned to the established learning intentions. Instruction is designed for differentiated instruction based on formative assessment data, using grouping and a variety of experiences.
