OBJECTIVESOBJECTIVES
Consider what “quality” means and how we know what quality student work looks like
Understand instructional strategies that help motivate students to produce quality work
Learn about strategies, approaches, and tools that teachers can use to help students improve work quality
WHAT IS WHAT IS “QUALITY”?“QUALITY”?
How do YOU know what quality work is?
How do STUDENTS know what quality work is?
What would it look and feel like in your classroom if students were CONSISTENTLY doing high-quality work?
STARTING WITH STARTING WITH OURSELVESOURSELVES
Teachers who are
“expecting—and getting—success
with ALL students”
have a deep belief in and
consistently act as if
ALL STUDENTS CAN LEARN
AND IT’S THEIR JOB TO
SEE THAT THEY DO.
QUALITY TAKES QUALITY TAKES COMMITMENTCOMMITMENT Addressing “the incredible gravitational pull of school as usual.”
Understanding learner perspectives (Why reluctant learners feel the way they do.)
Understanding learner behaviors (Why reluctant learners act the way they do.)
Believe you have the power and responsibility to reach and teach reluctant learners!
WORKING ON OUR WORKING ON OUR PRACTICEPRACTICE Focus on specific, targeted
student learning outcomes Collaboration (teachers working
together, professional learning communities)
Regular writing across the disciplines (non-fiction)
Frequent formative assessment & feedback (daily/weekly)

WHAT OUR STUDENTS WHAT OUR STUDENTS NEEDNEED
Four Foundational Mindsets: I am Capable - How the learner
perceives her/himself. (Am I capable of doing this? If I feel capable, I act capable.)
Today Connects with Tomorrow/ Future - Empowerment to Find Motivations (How will efforts I am investing today connect with desired outcomes tomorrow/ in my future?)
WHAT OUR STUDENTS WHAT OUR STUDENTS NEEDNEED I Make a Difference -
Empowerment for being a respected participant (team member/ student) (Do I have a say? Can I impact potential outcomes? Do you respect and believe in me?)
Someone Believe in Me - Pays Attention to My Progress and Growth
(If I struggle or even fail, will it matter to anyone else? Is it safe to try? Will your expectations stay high? Will you continue to believe I can do this?)
THREE CONSTRUCTS THREE CONSTRUCTS REQUIRED BY LEARNERSREQUIRED BY LEARNERS Social Supports - Emotional support,
guidance, and recognition through caring relationships
Intrinsic Motivation - Internal desire to attain goals, enhanced through voice, that influences the journey along the way -- building persistence & commitment
Self-Efficacy - One’s belief in one’s ability to accomplish things -- a level of confidence -- attributing success &/or failure to EFFORT rather than ABILITY.
SUPPORTING STUDENTS SUPPORTING STUDENTS TOTOPRODUCE QUALITY WORKPRODUCE QUALITY WORK
How can we motivate students to produce quality work?
Increase student voice & choice
Employ an engaging curriculum where students do the work of learning & thinking
Turn your classroom into a high performance learning community

RIGOR = challenge students!
RELEVANCE = answer the “so what?” question with authentic assignments
RELATIONSHIPS = take advantage of SLC structure to create caring, high performance environments with high expectations & high support

HELPING HELPING STUDENTS TO STUDENTS TO RECOGNIZE RECOGNIZE QUALITYQUALITY1) USE MODELS & EXEMPLARS Deconstruct exemplars w/ inductive lesson
2) BRING IN EXPERTS Show & discuss professional standards
3) USE RUBRICS (including student- designed rubrics)
HELPING STUDENTS HELPING STUDENTS RECOGNIZE QUALITYRECOGNIZE QUALITY
“We need to involve students by making the targets clear to them and having them help design assessments that reflect those targets. Then we involve them again in the process of keeping track over time of their learning so they can watch themselves improving. That’s where motivation comes from.”
- Rick Stiggins
USING MUSING MODELS & ODELS & EXEMPLARSEXEMPLARS
“When my class begins a new project ,a new venture, we begin with a taste of excellence. I pull out models of work by former students, videotapes of former students presenting their work, models of work from other schools, and models of work from the professional world. We sit and admire. We critique and discuss what makes them powerful: what makes a piece of creative writing compelling and exciting, what makes a scientific or historical research project significant and stirring, what makes a novel mathematical solution so breath-taking.”
USING MODELS & USING MODELS & EXEMPEXEMPLARSLARS
“I’ve been criticized at times by educators for using models so much. All of the work will be copies, they say…But I don’t mind at all. In fact, I encourage imitation as a place to begin. As a student, I learned to write by copying the styles of great authors; I learned to paint by copying the styles of great painters….
I encourage this practice so regularly that I explicitly describe and present what I call “tribute work.” Tribute work is the work of a student who built off of, borrowed ideas from, or imitated the work of a particular former or current student.”

PROVIDING FEEDBACKPROVIDING FEEDBACK
“(For learning purposes)… a test at the end of a unit….is pointless; it’s too late to work with the results… The feedback on tests, seatwork, and homework should give each pupil guidance on how to improve, and each pupil must be given help and an opportunity to work on the improvement.”
- Black and William
PROVIDING FEEDBACK:PROVIDING FEEDBACK:ASSESSING ASSESSING FORFOR LEARNING LEARNING
“When they assess FOR learning, teachers use the classroom assessment process and the continuous flow of information about student achievement that it provides in order to advance, not merely check on, student learning. They do this by continuously adjusting instruction based on the results of classroom assessments.”
- Stiggins
