Hi, my name is Ashley, and today's lesson is titled "Reflection on the Personalized Learning Environment." In today's lesson, we will observe Marzano's instructional design decisions. Then we'll take a look at different ways you can reflect on your CBE PBL lesson.
Marzano, the author of The Art and Science of Teaching, mentions 10 instructional design decisions. What will I do to establish and communicate learning goals, track student progress, and celebrate success? What will I do to help students effectively interact with new knowledge? What will I do to help students practice and deepen their understanding of new knowledge? What will I do to help students generate and test hypotheses about new knowledge?
What will I do to engage students? What will I do to establish or maintain classroom rules and procedures? What will I do to recognize and acknowledge adherence and lack of adherence to classroom rules and procedures? What will I do to establish and maintain effective relationships with students?
What will I do to communicate high expectations for all students? What will I do to develop effective lessons organized in a cohesive unit? These design decisions were also created to help teachers guide their reflection and design their units.
How do you reflect on your CBE PBL unit? We talked about two ways that you can receive feedback on your CBE PBL unit. One of them was from a peer review. The second was the use of a plus minus delta. Remember you can have your students complete one individually, or as a whole class.
Consider the following questions in order to reflect on your CBE PBL unit as a whole. What did I observe students doing during the activities? What does their formative and summative data look like? What was the outcome of their projects or problems? What feedback did my peer provide me?
Based upon this qualitative and quantitative data, did I successfully personalize the lesson or unit for students, increasing engagement and empowerment? How do I know this? These are some great questions to ask yourself as you reflect on your lesson.
Let's recap what we talked about in today's lesson. We went over the 10 Marzano instructional design decisions. These questions can be used to guide your reflection process as you go over your unit of instruction. Also consider other questions you can ask yourself as you reflect on your CBE PBL lesson, one of which is what you observe students doing during the activity, and what feedback did your peer provide.
