At the completion of session, classroom teacher will be able to	Type of Learning (Cognitive, Psychomotor, Affective)
1.

	Effective communication Collaboration Habits of mind	Spotlight contributors using campus-based newsletters and email	Affective Cognitive (application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation)
3. model student-centered teaching strategies in study groups	Effective communication Collaboration Habits of mind Complex thinking	Design and implement detailed activities with a team of colleagues that focus on student-centered learning.	Affective Psychomotor Cognitive (synthesis, evaluation)
	Effective communication Collaboration Complex thinking Information Processing	Design activities that encourage teachers to reflect on the effectiveness of study group strategies.	Affective Cognitive (analysis, synthesis, evaluation)
	Effective communication Collaboration Complex thinking	Design activities that appeal to diverse learners	Affective Psychomotor Cognitive (synthesis)
Learning Goals (Target and Professional) At the completion of study group session, teachers will be able to	Type of Learning (Life-long Learning Processes)	Nested Learning Objectives (What Must My Students Be Able To Do To Achieve Each Learning Goal?) At the completion of session, students will be able to	Type of Learning (Cognitive, Psychomotor, Affective)
1. Understand their role in supporting a successful study group, and therefore be supportive of other adult learners on their campuses.	Effective communication Collaboration Habits of mind Complex thinking Information Processing	Discuss the concept of adult learning and the ways it is different from K12 learning.	Affective Cognitive (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis)
	Effective communication Collaboration Habits of mind	Discuss appropriate group norms, expectations, and accountability.	Affective Cognitive (knowledge, comprehension, application,)
	Effective communication Collaboration Habits of mind	Brainstorm group norms, expectations, and accountability procedures	Affective Cognitive (synthesis, evaluation)
2. Reflect on their learning as a guide for themselves as teachers and learners.	Effective communication Collaboration Habits of mind Information Processing	Write to themselves during every session, email it to themselves, store each message in a study group folder, and review them periodically for growth	Affective Cognitive (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation)
	Habits of mind Complex thinking	Pick a student that they have difficulty with and think about how that student has been impacted by or not impacted by technology	Affective Cognitive (evaluation)
3. Integrate technology as a tool for learning, not as an end to itself.	Effective communication Collaboration Complex thinking Information Processing	Spotlight a lesson and analyze it for Constructivist principles	Cognitive (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis)
	Effective communication Habits of mind Information Processing	Evaluate their current LoTi level by taking the LoTi Questionnaire	Affective Cognitive (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis)
4. Create opportunities for Constructivist experiences in their own classrooms	Habits of mind Complex thinking Information Processing	Investigate classroom management tools and lesson ideas utilizing constructivist practices	Cognitive (application, analysis, evaluation)
	Effective communication Collaboration Habits of mind	Design and share student-centered, problem-based lessons that they use in classrooms.	Cognitive (application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation)

This is how I believe the successful accomplishment of my goals will lead to improved student learning.

By playing role of the students in a variety of Constructivist learning activities, teachers will be able to better incorporate Constructivist principles in their own classrooms, leading students to make connections between learning in different content areas. Students will also be able to actively construct their own learning and see the importance of learning in their own lives.

This is how I plan to evaluate my progress toward reaching my goals. (checkpoints, indicators of success, etc.)

I will keep a weekly journal of study group activities that I used and evaluate them. How well did I incorporate student-centered learning and Constructivist principles? Did I share these activities with my colleagues in some concrete way? I will also confer with my colleagues to discuss what worked, what didn’t work, and what needed to be modified.

We agree to work together as a collaborative team to implement this plan.
