indicatorb) Creating a room chart with the

whole groupc) Discussing with the table group

Content/Language Objective 2

organizerc) Discussing rationale for category

placement with the whole group

Agenda• Examine I.3, Instructional Methods and

Pacing • Identify intent of I.3• Examine various instructional methods• Compare and contrast two lessons by

applying I.3 to videos• Identify what I.3 means for your lesson

planning and instruction

Masterful Content Delivery• The order of Indicators under the

Instruction Domain represents the chronological order for how a teacher should effectively plan classroom lessons.

I.1• Develop Content / Language

Objectives

I.2• Select / Create Tasks

I.3• Choose Instructional Method

I.4• Incorporate Opportunities to Develop

and Use Academic Language

High Impact Instructional Moves

I.5• Use Formative Assessments to Check

for Understanding

I.6• Differentiate Data Based on the Checks

for Understanding

I.7• Provide Academic Feedback Based on

Student Responses

I.8• Create Opportunities for Students to

Communicate / Collaborate While Learning

THINK, DISCUSS, SHARE

–Take 1 minute , read through the Effective column of I.3 and highlight three words in each descriptor that capture the essence of that descriptor (bullet). –Take 3 minutes and share the words

you highlighted. Include rationale for your choices. –We will take 5 minutes and create a

room chart of the key words you identified.

What is the Intent of I.3?

Discuss at your table, what you see as the intent of I.3.

Why was this indicator added to the revised Framework?

Intent of I.3• Recognizes there is not one instructional method

that is “best” for all lessons• Recognizes the importance of lesson pacing on

student learning • Recognizes the importance of a teacher’s

knowledge of the content AND HOW this knowledge is being communicated to students (including ELL supports)

• Recognizes the importance of teachers making “in the moment” adjustments to the lesson structure/pacing based on student misconceptions or needs

• Recognizes the importance of clear and accurate communication and an appropriate balance of teacher talk vs. student talk

What Are You Thinking?

Take 2 minutes and discuss with others at your table–What are your initial thoughts about I.3? •Questions?•Comments?

Applying I.3 to a Lesson • We will view a clip from a (fill in

with appropriate content/grade)

• Your Job: –Script evidence related to I.3

Debriefing Lesson • Take 5 minutes and record your

evidence for I.3 on Handout 1. • Take 10 minutes and discuss your

evidence with your group. Include rationale for the placement of your evidence.

Performance Level for I.3

• What performance level does the evidence align to for I.3? • What elements of the lesson

made the teacher’s instructional methods and pacing align to the performance level identified?
