Authentic Education Presenters: J. Maranucci, S. Levy, F. Champine Parkway School District Day 2 Stages - 2 & 3 Evidence of Understanding And Teaching for Understanding
What constitutes solid evidence of student understanding? How do we know the kids ‘Got it?’ We need to teach less and assess more.
What went wrong in Mr. Thompson’s Class Today? • View this video of a classroom experience. • It is Monday morning. Mr. Thompson gave the unit test on Friday dealing with the early days of World War II. • Observe his class and “meet” with him after the class period to discuss Assessment and how its use might have made a difference in his class today.
Assessment of Desired Results • To what extent do the assessments provide valid, reliable and sufficient measures of the desired results (from Stage 1)? • Go to PP.136-137 – Carefully read the focus questions for thinking about Evidence for Understanding. • Preview the work of this stage of thinking and action
What does it mean to approach your teaching like an assessor? • Look at PP. 138 – 140. These pages provide you with a thinking model as you approach your teaching. • IF - THEN - SO Reviewing these pages will put you in touch with a model for shaping the thinking and preparation for your teaching.
Assessor vs Lesson Designer • Assessors ask themselves how will I know my students have learned what I intended and what they will need to TRANSFER their learning to new situations; how will my teaching be effective? • Lesson Designers ask themselves what should I do today that will make my lessons interesting and fun for the kids, how will I keep them engaged?
What is your Assessment Profile? • Go to page 143 and take the Self-Assessment of your assessment choices. • Look at Page 142 to help you with terminology. • Dialogue: What have you discovered about yourself as an assessor? • Look at page 146 and consider the possible assessments one might use to determine understanding. Page 148 is a blank you can use as you think your way through this process next year.
What can people do who UNDERSTAND? • Collaboration: Work with the people at your table and develop a list of all the things students or the average person can do to demonstrate their understanding. • Lets collect your data and generalize about the ability of people who understand. • Go to page 155 and look at the Facets of Understanding. What do you see as the difference between the Facets of Understanding and Bloom’s Taxonomy? • Look at page 156 – this can change the dynamic of your entire classroom work. Pages 157- 158 will provide you with other ideas.
TRANSFER work on Assessments • Return to pages 152 – 154 – TRANSFER what you have learned so far about assessments and Facet questions and follow the template. • First: Look at the examples – notice they begin with the goal in mind/goal or standard. • Second: Notice the goal has been UNPACKED – Content to be taught is found in the nouns; process for assessment is found in the verbs. • Third: The understandings of the unit have been noted • Fourth: The tasks to prove the understanding have been developed.
Work Backward from your Goal Consider the unit you want to teach next year, the one we have worked on yesterday. What is you Goal for your unit? The Goal for the unit is to have students… Teacher needs So that the students will be able to … What’s in it for the student? How will you know you both gained what you needed?
Consider your goal and the needs of the student and develop at least three FACET OF UNDERSTANDING QUESTIONS FOR YOUR UNIT. ONLY QUALITY ASSESSMENTS WILL HELP YOU AND YOUR STUDENT MEET THE GOALS OF YOUR PROGRAM.
TRANSFER TASKS • Transfer – use new knowledge in unique situations demonstrating a sophistication of understanding. • Here is a good example of TRANSFER – Let’s take a peek at the German Coast Guard. • Video
How to design Transfer Tasks • Look at the performance tasks on pages 169 – 168. • Collaborate: Work together to create a list of the commonalities found in the Performance or Transfer Task. • Gather Data • Confirm hypothesis: G.R.A.P.S. – LOOK AT EXAMPLES ON PP 170 AND 171. • Pages 172 – 173 gives many examples of aspects of the model for you to think about.
Test your Hypothesis • LOOK AT PAGE 177 and figure out if this assessment meets your standard of evidence of understanding. Read through it with your team mates and make a decision. • Collaboration: Transfer your learning to develop a Performance Assessment. Use pp. 175 -176 to guide you in your work. • Collaboration: PP 178 – 179 will provide you with validation of your hypothesis.
Stage 2 – Teaching for Understanding • Collaboration: How and Why does a curriculum and assessment program designed around understanding require a new approach to instruction? • WHERETO: Let us look at pp. 212 – 229 • What does it look like when it all comes together? • Video – “Using UbD” – 7th grade science classroom model.
Watch the video and keep these questions in mind for discussion. 1. HOW DID THE TEACHER USE THE WHERETO MODEL TO DESIGN HIS LESSON?2. WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THE LESSON AND HOW DID A-M-T PLAY A ROLE IN HIS DESIGN?
