KEY IDEAS:
1.What are prerequisite skills?
2. Why are they important?
3.How do we know if students have them?
4. What do we do if they don't
5. How do we prioritize what to focus on?
1. What are prerequiste skills?
Math progression from grades 4-6 in place value:
apply, analyze, investigate
ELAL progression from grades 4-6 in vocabulary:
expand, analyze, evaluate
What do we notice about the progression of outcomes?
How does this relate to prerequisite skills?
2. Why are prerequisite skills important?
3. How do we know if students have the prerequisite skills they need?
The Scaffolded Assessment
Creating a scaffolded assessment as a learning team facilitates the discussion of What is Meeting? and What do students need to do to get to Meeting?
5. How do we prioritize what to focus on?
Summary:
1. Prerequisite skills are foundational skills that enable mastery of outcomes
2. Prerequisite skills are important to address before teaching new concepts
3. Scaffolded Practice and Assessment provides a format to see where students are at in their learning and a structure to show students where their learning is going next
4. Priority skills and outcomes are the cognitive or thinking skills that are transferable to more complex skills and outcomes
