1 Building Curriculum frm Scratch: Designing Assessment Maps Gals and Outcmes Overarching Objectives f the December 2014 Netwrk Team Institute Teachers will be able t Identify and plan t implement effective discussin practices. Scaffld speaking and listening instructin fr students with disabilities. Identify the primary design cnsideratins when creating curriculum frm scratch. Leaders will be able t Identify effective discussins and prvide fcused feedback t help teachers imprve speaking and listening instructin. Identify the primary design cnsideratins when creating curriculum frm scratch. Prvide fcused feedback t help teachers imprve their instructin. High-Level Purpse f this Sessin The purpse f this sessin is fr participants t learn the key prcesses and design principles fr develping lessn-level assessment maps, and December 2014 Page 1

Sessin 2: Develping Effective Speaking and Listening Scafflds fr Students with Disabilities Sessin 3: Building Curriculum Frm Scratch: Basic Principles Key Pints When designing CCSS-curriculum, it is imprtant t prvide students with a balance f text types and skills, including integrating reading, writing and research pprtunities. Assessment mapping is an iterative and essential prcess f curriculum design. Sessin Outcmes What d we want participants t be able t d as a result f this sessin?

Reflectin and Clsing Ttal time: 5 min Sectin: Assessment Mapping: Designing the Mdule s Skeletal System In this sectin, yu will examine a sample assessment map and learn key design principles f assessment mapping Materials used include: Sessin PwerPint, sample assessment map December 2014 Page 7

8 5 15 min Review the guiding principles f lessn-level assessment mapping. Texts lend themselves t specific standards Chunk and excerpt texts fr depth, nt cverage Scaffld and backwards map twards the end-gal, making sure students are supprted thrughut Draft standards-aligned lessn assessment prmpts that aim t teach whle standards Integrate pprtunities fr Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening and Language thrughut * Yu may need t recnsider text chunking as necessary, and in sme cases, text selectin and juxtapsitin. Key Pints Start with the text and let standards emerge frm the text, while keeping an eye t the yearlng skills & standards trajectry. Determine what key skills need t be addressed in the unit as per the perfrmance assessment and yearlng skills & standards trajectry. e.g. In an argument writing unit, sme instructinal time will need t be devted t the prcess f building evidence-based arguments. Designers make chices abut which standards t fcus n; it s better t g deeper int fewer standards, than t apply the kitchen sink mdel Standards shuld build and spiral thrughut units and mdules (per December 2014 Page 8

9 yearlng skills & standards trajectry) When determining hw t chunk a text lessn by lessn, please keep in mind the fllwing principles: Students shuld clsely read small chunks f text each day. The gal is depth ver cverage. Think abut explring the richest passages in detail, as ppsed t trying t cver every line f a text. Essential text passages shuld be clsely read in class, while less essential sectins can be relegated t hmewrk r mitted entirely (depending n the apprpach). Lessn assessment prmpts prvide a clear gal and learning target fr each lessn and shuld be clsely aligned t the language f the standards. It s imprtant t try t teach whle standards where pssible, and certainly ver the curse f the mdule since ding s in every lessn is nt always pssible. (e.g. RI early n in a text, students will nt be able t determine hw a central idea develps ver the curse f the text. They will, hwever, be able t determine hw it emerges and it shaped and refined by specific details.) In sme cases, it may be necessary t recnsider central text text selectin r add additinal texts t supplement and rund ut instructin. Red flags t watch ut fr: if a text desn t have enugh meat t lend itself t specific standards, recnsider text selectin. If skills trajectry calls fr specific skills that a text desn t lend itself well t, cnsider supplementing with additinal texts. Participants ask questins abut key prcesses and design principles fr assessment mapping. December 2014 Page 9

10 6 15 min Prvide a sample assessment map frm the 9-12 ELA curriculum. Facilitatr mdels hw the key principles fr assessment mapping design apply t the first tw lessns f the sample assessment map. Be sure t discuss Hw much text is treated in each lessn Hw lessn-level assessment prmpts scaffld t an end gal Hw the assesment prmpts align t the language f the standards Hw and why the text lends itself t specific standards December 2014 Page 10

11 7 15 min Participants read thrugh the sample assessment map and answer guiding questins: What d yu ntice abut the alignment f the assessment prmpts t the wrding f the standards? Hw d the assessment prmpts scaffld and build thrughut the mdule? Hw d the lessns scaffld students t the expectatins f the perfrmance assessment? Ttal time: 45 min December 2014 Page 11

12 Sectin: Putting it tgether: Beginning an assessment map In this sectin, yu will begin t create an assessment map using a sample text. Materials used include: Sessin PwerPint, Mdule Assessment Map Template 8 30 min Ttal time: 30 min Participants practice creating their wn assessment maps using the Mdule Assessment Map Template and the sample text, Of Mice and Men. 1. Start by identifying which standards yu want t assess students n in the End-f-Unit Assessment. Try and limit EOU assessment t tw standards Make sure these standards are verly-represented in unit Dn t wrry abut crafting the EOU assessment prmpt 2. Integrate pprtunities fr Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening and Language int the map 3. Wrk n chunking and assessments fr lessns 1-3 Remind participants t have the standards, and text ut at all times. The principles f the instructinal shifts shuld als be frnt and center when designing curriculum. December 2014 Page 12

Materials used include: Sessin PwerPint 9 10 mins Ask the fllwing reflectin questins: What are sme key cnsideratins in develping assessment maps? What structures, resurces and supprt will yu need t d this effectively? Hw wuld yu describe the prcess f designing an assessment map t a clleague?
