What is text rendering?
What is text rendering?
• To construct meaning collaboratively, clarify,
and expand our thinking about a shared text
•
During the process, participants will choose
one or two sentences, one phrase, and one
word that they found most important.
I Do:
I will model how to text render the first six descriptors for
the TAP Instructional Rubric focusing on
Standards and Objectives.
Standards and
• Most learning
objectives and state content
Objectives:
standards are
communicated.
•
•
•
•
•
Sub-Objectives are mostly aligned to the
lesson’s major objective.
Learning Objectives are connected to what
students have previously learned.
Expectations for student performance are clear.
State standards are displayed.
There is evidence that most students
demonstrate mastery of the objective.
We Do:
We will text render the key descriptors for the
TAP Instructional Rubric focusing on
Motivating Students.
Motivating Students
•
The teacher sometimes organizes the content so that
it is personally meaningful and relevant to students.
•
The teacher sometimes develops learning
experiences where inquiry, curiosity and exploration
are valued.
• The teacher sometimes reinforces and rewards effort.
You do:
You (with our assistance) will text render
the key descriptors for the TAP
Instructional Rubric focusing on
Lesson Structure and Pacing.
Lesson Structure and
Most lessonsPacing:
start promptly
The lesson’s structure is coherent, with a
beginning, middle, and end.

Little instructional time is lost during
Partner up:
Partner up with the person that has the

Your Job: Text render the given Indictor
together
Post responses on a Post-It
Report Out/Share out
Evaluate
You will apply what you have learned pertaining to the “Big
