Reflective Questions for Writing Language Objectives and ELD Department Meeting PLC Notes

Reflective Questions for Writing Language Objectives

Is it student-friendly?

Will it lead to academic language growth? Or is this language that students already know/can use?

Is it observable?

Is it measurable? How will we assess students in relation to it? How will students self-monitor/self-assess their progress in relation to it?

Is it specific?  Is it realistic?  Is it time-appropriate?

How does this lesson fit with the larger progression of the unit? What is the connection to the previous lesson? The next lesson? The larger goals of the unit?
