Assessment is the process of gathering and discussing information frommultiple and diverse sources in order to develop a deep understanding of what students know, understand, and can do with their knowledge as a result of their educational experiences; the process culminates when assessment results are used to improve subsequent learning

Hallmarks of Learner-Centered Teaching p.33 • Learners are actively involved and receive feedback • Learners apply knowledge to enduring and emerging issues and problems • Learners integrate discipline-based knowledge and general skills • Learners understand the characteristics of excellent work
Con’t Hallmarks of Learner-Centered Teaching p.33 • Learners become increasingly sophisticated learners and knowers • Professors coach and facilitate, intertwining teaching and assessing • Professors reveal that they are learners, too • Learning is interpersonal, and all learners—students and professors are respected and valued.
Understanding by Design A blueprint for learning Overview
Understanding by Design is also known as Backwards Design, why?
The stages are logical but they go against traditional habits • Typically lesson and activity ideas are created before clarifying our performance goals for students • By thinking through the big ideas and assessments upfront, we ensure greater alignment of our goals and means, and that teaching is focused on desired results…learning. • Plan activities last, not first.
Understanding By Design – 3 Stages 1-Identify desired results

Understanding By Design – 3 Stages 1-Identify desired results 2-Determine acceptable evidence What are the outcomes of your course? Upon completing your course, what should students know, understand, and be able to do? 3-Plan learning experiences
How will you know if your students have achieved the desired outcomes? What will you accept as evidence of proficiency? 1-Identify desired results 2-Determine acceptable evidence 3-Plan learning experiences
With the identified results and evidence of understanding/proficiency in mind, what sequence of activities best suits the desired results? How can you make learning both engaging and effective given the goals and needed evidence?
