EDWARDS FRAMING YOUR SUCCESS

A performance task is an experience created for students to demonstrate their learning. It demonstrates the foundation that you have laid for the learning process, as shown in their examples.

• Performance tasks are Key in the higher order DOK 3-4
• DOK 4 is “real world application”  (application is a skill)
• The nature of a DOK 4 activity calls for a PBL  -project based learning
• Take more time
• Rubric
• Product is important and different
• Teacher is facilitator…roles change as the student does the work
• Collaboration
• Students make decisions
• Students do research
• Challenge the kids
• Problem solving
• Higher order thinking –HOT
• Discovery & Inquiry
• Student does the work and they discovery through inquiry
• Cross disciplines
• Greater student autonomy…not cookie cutter
• They are not led, as they come to their own conclusions.
• Curve ball….. Throw on a “what if”, make it real world, this changes directions in thought…This is big, as it shifts the PBL to make them apply thinking skills.
• The process is complex and usually has multiple skills.

• A leadership team member works with each teacher
• Everyone continues to work in PLCs on Matrix- begin to use the MATRIX 2.0 w/ DOK 4 template
• DOK 4- develop high quality PBLs -w/ criteria– Performance Task / PRODUCT
• PEER REVIEW–  Be able to respond to one another’s questions & Model the work!
• Encourage one another, ask questions-  We all have good ideas- so listen and guide.
• By our Thursday, MARCH 20th Edwards Meeting we all need to be ready to bring our new matrix 2.0 W/Product & student work!
