Assessment Proposed • End of course exams. • Proposed models include: • Multiple choice and computer enhanced items • Performance assessments • Extended response • Performance tasks
But wait…There’s more! • Is it a bird? • Is it a plane? • Is it a pacing guide? • No, it’s a curriculum map!
Do’s & Don'ts • Do not read cover to cover. • Do look up topics as you are planning to teach them. • Do not get attached. • Do download a new version every year. • I do not recommend you print. • Do not feel you have to do every activity. • Do not feel you have to go in this order. • Do pay special attention to the Content Elaboration. • Do think about PD that would help support you as you transition into the new standards.
Topic & Course Content Physics
Environmental Science ~ Model Curriculum ~ Three “Course Content” Sections
First Semester, Curriculum Map Part 1 - Intro/Structure of the Earth Part 2 - Ecology (Ecosystems, Biomes) Part 3 - Population/Biodiversity
Second Semester, Curriculum Map Part 1 – Natural Resources (Water/Water Pollution, Atmosphere/Air Pollution, Land/Mineral Resources) Part 2 – Energy Resources
Environmental Science ~ Model Curriculum ~ Content Elaboration Each of the three “Course Content” sections are followed by: “Content Elaboration”***** “Expectations for Learning: Cognitive Demands” “Visions into Practice” (suggestions for student tasks) Page 26 of 94
Environmental Science, Content Elaboration: Inquiry Instruction Overview To understand the effects that certain contaminants may have on the environment, scientific investigations and research must be conducted on alocal, national and global level(MC pp. 29). Water, air, land, and biotic field and lab sampling/testing equipment and methods must be utilized with real-world application (MC pp. 29). Quantifiable field and/or lab data must be used to analyze and draw conclusions regarding air, water or land quality (MC pp. 29). From Model Curriculum’s “Content Elaborations”
College and Career Readiness: Inquiry “Investigations are used to understand and explain the behavior of nature in a variety of inquiry and design scenarios that incorporate scientific reasoning, analysis, communication skills and real-world applications” “scientific investigations and research must be conducted on a local, national and global level”
College and Career Readiness:Real World Investigation “Water, air, land, and biotic field and lab sampling/testing equipment and methods must be utilized with real-world application.” Design and conduct a field investigation that concentrates on a specific environmental problem Plan and implement an investigation to determine the water quality of a section of a local stream
College and Career Readiness:Real World Investigation “Examples of types of water-quality testing include: hydraulic conductivity, suspended and dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, temperature, pH, fecal coliform and macro-invertebrate studies”
College and Career Readiness:Using Technology “using technology to collect global resource data for comparative classroom study is recommended” “Research and document” “Using real-time data, research the most severe environmental problems” “Use a computer-modeling program (many are available through freeware sites) to model and predict”
