Get specific about what you want students to learn and the criteria students need to succeed with the goal. Section IV of this guide helps you get specific about goals for academic literacy and language. For example, for teaching theme, you’ll find literacy goals and language objectives as shown in Table 2.1.

To make goals clear, do more than post and say the goals. Engage students in collaborating to explain what they are learning and why. Provide examples of what success looks like, and model how these exemplars demonstrate the learning objectives. Flip to pages 128–129 for a specific routine to model expectations with an exemplar.

Observe students as they engage in conversations and lesson tasks to watch specifically for your teaching goals. This book helps you do this in Section IV by giving you observation questions aligned with each learning goal. Look for the heading “Observe” to focus your observations, then use your observation data to personalize teaching so students reach success with your high expectations.
