Premises

• Curriculum, instruction and assessment must be learner-centered and aligned to be effective.

• Ensuring that all Texas students master the state-adopted curriculum is a critical teaching responsibility.

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

• The participant will be able to:

• Use multiple data sources to analyze and make decisions about curriculum,

instruction, and assessment to support continuous improvement

• Develop an understanding of learner- centered curriculum, instruction, and assessment and be able to articulate it

Lesson Attributes

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Lesson Attributes

Objectives and Goals

The teacher knows what he/she wants the students to know and be able to do at the end of the lesson.

Objectives are clear, specific, and include basic knowledge/skills and central themes/concepts of the discipline.

(19)

CIA-9

Notes

(20)

C/I/A-19

Lesson Attributes

Engagement and Motivation

Research makes it clear that all information taken into the brain must first pass an “attentional”

threshold. The student must be engaged and interested in the new learning in order to be self- directed/intrinsically motivated and successful in learning.

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Lesson Attributes

Connections and Relevance

New learning must build on prior knowledge, the

“hook” on which to hang the new. Teachers will be most successful when they can connect new information to prior knowledge and to various

disciplines, as well as make the learning relevant to the lives and interests of the learners.

(21)

CIA-10

Notes

(22)

C/I/A-21

Lesson Attributes

Questioning and Inquiry

The key to “minds-on” learning and a strong check for understanding is effective questioning and inquiry, both by the teacher and by the student. Instruction should be student-focused, inquiry-based, and directed to students as thinkers and problem solvers.

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Lesson Attributes Feedback and Reinforcement

Timely, specific, quality feedback helps students understand why they are successful or unsuccessful in learning and results in a higher level and

frequency of student commitment to the learning.

Students are then able to repeat their effort and succeed or make adjustments in order to be more successful.

Reinforcing prior learning helps students retain knowledge and extend learning as they apply skills in multiple contexts.

(23)

CIA-11

Notes

(24)

C/I/A-23

Lesson Attributes

Monitoring and Assessment

Effective monitoring enables the teacher to have a conscious awareness of where each student is in relation to the learning objective.

Formative and summative assessment takes place during and after the teaching of the lesson objective to provide data regarding mastery of the learning to both the teacher and the student.

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Lesson Attributes

Application

Brain research supports the opportunity for students to apply new learning, thus making stronger

connections and driving the knowledge into long- term memory. Many of the TEKS/TAKS skills require the application of learning.

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Change in Terms

The names of six major categories were changed from noun to verb forms.

As the taxonomy reflects different forms of thinking and thinking is an active process verbs were more accurate.

The subcategories of the six major categories were also replaced by verbs

Some subcategories were reorganized.

The knowledge category was renamed. Knowledge is a product of thinking and was inappropriate to describe a category of thinking and was replaced with the word remembering instead.

Comprehension became understanding and synthesis was renamed creating in order to better reflect the nature of the thinking described by each category.

Differentiation of instruction is a way of thinking about teaching and learning that advocates beginning where individuals are rather than following a prescribed plan of action.

It is a teacher reacting responsively to a learner’s needs.

“The teacher does not try to differentiate everything for everyone every day. That’s impossible, and it would destroy a sense of wholeness in the class.”

Begin with the End in Mind

Adapted from Wiggins and McTighe, Understanding by Design

Thinking First as an Assessor

• Based on the state assessment, what are the students needing to learn and at what level?

• How will I differentiate to meet varied needs and characteristics?

• What performance tasks will best support learning and focus the instructional work?

• What would be the evidence of student learning?

• Against what criteria will I evaluate the work?

• How will I be able to distinguish between those who really understand and those who don’t?

• What misunderstandings are likely?

How will I check for those?

Thinking Then as a Designer

• What would be interesting and revealing activities to help assure this learning?

• What resources and materials are available?

• What will students be doing in and out of class? What assignments will be given?

• How will students earn a grade (and can it be justified to their parents)?

• Did the activities work? Why or why not?
