Standards-Based Learning Progression

Learning Outcomes:

CLO 5253.1 - Offer alternative instructional suggestions and strategies that address the specific needs of California’s diverse student population.

CLO 5253.2 - Identify a clear instructional goal that is related to the English content of the standards.

CLO 5253.3 - Provide the learning in each instructional year that lays the necessary groundwork for success in subsequent English courses.

CLO 5253.4 - Identify the most successful and efficient approaches within a particular classroom so that learning is maximized.

CLO 5253.5 - Assess student progress toward the achievement of English standards and adjust instruction accordingly.

CLO 5253.6 - Balance theory, research, and practice.

Discussion Questions:

• How do I breakdown the academic standards into teachable chunks of learning for students?
• How do I differentiate for students who have relatively the same abilities and skills?
• How do I create a learning environment that is meaningful for each student without designing different lesson for each person?
