KSA 3
I plan all my activities and lessons based on the Program of Studies. By using the method of backwards by design, I first look at the specific learning outcomes, decide how to assess them and then tailor my lesson plans and activities towards those goals. I direct all student learning from the specified outcomes. I also include the SLO's in my own wording in student notes and assignments so they know what their goals are for the course. For elementary, I provide students with "I can" statements. Before learning something new we discuss as a class the "I can" statement and therefore the goal of the lesson. When I assess the students I review the "I can" statements with students and praise them for their hard work in accomplishing that goal.
