Learning Progression Overview
This module continues the unpacking work started in the previous module. When we break down a standard into concepts and skills new questions arise that need to be addressed:
What underlying prior knowledge must students possess?
How might the concepts and skills within this standard be sequenced in a logical way?
This brings us to framing out our process through learning progressions to build that logical sequence that takes into account prior knowledge and focuses on our end goal. The learning progressions are big picture, while the learning intentions (in the next module) are daily statements of learning.
Planning Resources
The document above includes useful verbs based on Marzano's Taxonomy to help with the creation of learning progressions. Use this document to help construct your progressions or if you get stuck deciding on word choice.
Similar to Marzano's Taxonomy (to the left), Bloom's can be helpful when constructing your learning progression for finding words to use. Click on the link above to open full screen.
