    Learning Targets, Exit Tickets, and Designing with the End in Mind

    In Episode 3, we build on the foundation from last time and get into what I believe is the most important component of any lesson — the learning target. We cover how to write learning targets students can actually own, how to design exit tickets that give you real data, and why you should always start with the end in mind before you plan anything else. Topics covered: ​Writing learning targets that start with "I can" — and why it matters​What makes an exit ticket aligned (and what makes it not)​Using a quick hit + big hit format to collect layered student data​Claim, Evidence, Reasoning as an exit ticket structure​Worked examples across History, Environmental Science, and MathCompanion Resources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cQt2LXeBe84XcIVzfQJy98u40zLk3yg9/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=117896593515618189921&rtpof=true&sd=true Currently Reading: The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson Contact: bopmanteaching@gmail.com | Support the podcast: buymeacoffee.com/bopmanteaching https://linktr.ee/bopmanteaching Music by Skilsel and SigmaMusicArt via Pixabay

    Introduction and Non-Negotiables for Educators

    Welcome to Teaching with Mr. Bop — a podcast for educators, especially those who showed up to the classroom without a roadmap. I'm Mr. Bop: former teacher, instructional coach, and current MTSS coordinator with over a decade in Title 1 schools. This podcast exists because the teachers working in the buildings with the greatest need deserve real, practical support. Just honest conversation about what actually works. In this first episode, I introduce myself, share why I started this podcast, and lay out what I believe are the non-negotiables for any educator — the foundation everything else is built on: ​Belief — in every student, unconditionally​Resilience — because this work will test you​Creative Problem Solving — because the resources won't always be there, but the need will be​Purpose — knowing why you're here and letting it drive youIf you're a new teacher, a veteran looking to reconnect with your why, or just someone who cares about doing this work well — this one's for you.
