• What can we infer about professional development
from the following findings?
6. • “Its unbelievable how much you don’t know about the
game you’ve been playing all your life”
- Mantle
7. Few points of reference
- 915 Meta-analysis
- 60,155 studies
- 245 million students
- 159,570 effect sizes reported
- This data set is for the purpose of discussion
- There are moderators
8. Daily Outcomes
• General
o Understand the variables that have a substantial impact on student learning
o Understand the purpose for identifying clear outcomes and success criteria for
students
o Understand the purpose for providing students with surface and deep level
knowledge
• Nuts and Bolts
o Process for identifying critical outcomes
o Tool for measuring student progress and proficiency on meeting critical outcomes
11. An example
• Homework- effect size = .29
• Rank 88th
• Number of Meta-analysis 5
• Number of studies 161
• Number of effects 295
• Number of people 105,282
12. • Exploring each variable-
• High school twice as large
• Short time periods are important
• Direct parent involvement had a negative
effect
• Lack of monitoring
• Difficulty
• Prescribing homework does not help
in time management skills
13. What’s the story?
• Teachers are among the most powerful influences on
learning
14. Teachers need to be directive, influential, caring, and
actively engaged in the passion of teaching and learning
16. • Teachers need to be aware of what each and every
student is thinking and knowing, to construct meaning
and meaningful experiences in light of this knowledge,
and have proficient knowledge and understanding of
their content to provide meaningful and appropriate
feedback such that each student moves progressively
through the curriculum levels
17. • Teachers and students need to
know
Where are we going?,
How are you going, and
what’s next?
18. • Teachers need to move from the single idea to multiple
ideas, and to relate and then extend these ideas such
that learners construct and reconstruct knowledge and
ideas. It is not the knowledge or ideas, but the learner’s
construction of this knowledge and these ideas that is
critical.
19. • School leaders and teachers need to create school,
staffroom, and classroom environments where error is
welcomed as a learning opportunity, where discarding
incorrect knowledge and understandings is welcomed,
and where participants can feel safe to learn, re-learn,
and explore knowledge and understanding.
20. Research Guidance
Strategy Effect
Teachers working together to evaluate their impact and responding to
that impact 0.93
Teachers conduct pre-assessments, utilizing data to inform instruction,
and providing students with a clear understanding of expectations for
meeting learning outcomes (Where are we going?, where are we now?,
and what’s next?
0.77
Teachers using practices in the classroom that values errors and trust 0.72
Teachers receive feedback on their impact on student learning 0.72
Teachers are providing an appropriate proportion of surface and deep
level knowledge 0.71
Providing students with challenge and practice at the right level 0.60
21. ToA
• If students are
o clear on the specific outcomes of learning,
o possess success criteria relating to surface and deep level learning,
o possess knowledge of their own performance, and
o have voice and choice in the learning process,
then students will substantially improve in their learning
and take responsibility over their learning.
22.
23. Bumps in the road
• Students are rarely involved in the assessment
process
• Curriculum design rarely introduces questions, criteria,
and tasks for students to solve that require a range of
surface and deep level knowledge
• Student thinking is dramatically influenced by context
(rubrics and project expectations)
• Voice and Choice in tasks and assessments are rarely
accessible or limited in scope to students due, in large
part, to clarity.
28. Suggestions:
1. Create a language of learning that infuses the formative
assessment process
2. Create rubrics/scales that are context and task deficient
and span across surface and deep level understanding
3. Actively position learning as the central aspect of your
culture
.
30. SOLO- Structure of the observed learning
outcome
• Extended- Requires a learner to transfer their
understand of single, multiple, and relational content to
outside contexts.
• Relational- Requires a learner to relate single/multiple
ideas together to further understand core content
• Single/Multiple- Requires a learner to understand single
or multiple ideas related to the core content standards

41. A culture & climate conducive to improving teaching
and learning
42. Be honest with where I am at on learning progressions. I
definitely am honest with where I am in this class. This way of
assessment has completely made me feel alright with being
in the pit because I know that I am not stuck there and that I
can get myself out of it. I really appreciate all that you have
done to make us feel comfortable with progress.
43. Be open to struggling…Before this class I was not open to
struggling at all, so this took me a while to get used to.
Now I know that I can get myself out of the pit, so I feel
comfortable being in it! I just wish it was this way in the
rest of my classes. ):
44. My annotations and thoughts on written pieces were at
about a 1 level at the beginning of the semester, but with
guidance in class and a lot of practice I have grown to
getting a four on the last annotation. Next semester I
hope to grow further.

2. Identify a myriad of contexts that can be used to extend
student learning across disciplines
3. Determine degree of autonomy related to context and
tasks.

range of collaborative discussions (one on one, in
groups, and teacher led) with diverse partners on grade-
appropriate topics, texts, and issues, building on others’
ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively
(SL. 11-12.1)

important personal, social, and organization goals are
accomplished.

Before we get started, we are going to “stop” and introduce ourselves.
Buck Institute for Education (BIE): WHO WE ARE (Founded in 1987)
- The PBL Handbooks that has sold over 35,000 copies and is translated in 5 and soon to be 7 languages.
- The NEW PBL Starter Kit that is more teacher friendly and anecdotal
NEW website with free downloads and videos
- They find people like myself who could help share their experience.
Effect and the pattern
Kids don’t learn important information that’s right in front of them, unless an adult is actively teaching them.

It turns out its not about who teachers are, its not about what teachers do, its not who the students are, what really matters think about their impact on their students.
