What Learning Looks Like in RVS
Making Learning Visible
9:10 Define: Pitch Tool
This gets us…
– to consider some driving questions to help flesh out a pitch for the unit or learning opportunity.
Keep in mind…
– this is still a brainstorm and all ideas are welcome. From an abundance of ideas, we can collaborate to distill the learning we’re driving for.
10:00 Critical Friends Protocol: Share your design and receive feedback for your project. Share where you are at and what might be tricky…
Partner/s Feedback:
– I like.., I wonder…, What if….
This gets us….
– to share our pitch with colleagues and receive constructive feedback to our pitch before we move to the next step.
Keep in mind….
– the feedback prompts and your role as critical friend in providing ideas, encouragement, and support.
10:15 Develop / Document: Scope and Sequencing Using the Learning Design Process
This gets us….
– to consider the guiding questions or experiences for students along the learning journey and to intentionally design reflection opportunities all the way along.
Keep in mind….
– this process can certainly be used on your own, in a binder, and for your eyes only. But where it really shines is out in the open for your students and colleagues to see.
