Consider Johnny’s K-12 experience: Flotilla of teachers; 40 - 65 Experiences vary by teacher Content varies by teacher Instruction varies by teacher Communication among teachers is limited Need a common pathway =
curriculum Jacobs, H.H. (2006). Active literacy across the curriculum. Larchmont, NY: Eye On
Education. pp. 114-116
27
Picture a struggling student in that empty chair Consider what that student needs to become successful in school Make every teaching & learning decision based on that student’s needs Forecast how your decisions will affect
that student positively or negatively Modify instruction for that student’s
needs Become student-centered Level the playing field; make a difference
in a student’s life
28
A Standards Aligned System integrates Standards, Assessment, Curriculum, Instruction, Materials & Resources & Safe & Supportive School Environment.
PA Core Standards, Assessment Anchors & Eligible Content are the student achievement targets. They define what students should know & be able to do at each grade level. They are NOT the curriculum or a prescribed series of instructional activities.
Mapping is a tool for analyzing, aligning & articulating curriculum, instruction & assessment & improving student achievement.
Backwards Design & Understanding by Design methodology are processes used in mapping & provide a common vocabulary.
Mapping the English Language Arts & Mathematics content will focus
teaching strategies, target learning goals & enhance student achievement.
Curriculum mapping creates a legacy for those who follow.

87
Knowledge (Know) & Skills (D0) Concepts & Competencies
Cognitive complexity refers to the cognitive demand associated with a test item.
The Depth of Knowledge level of the item is determined by the complexity of the mental processing that the student must use to answer the item.
88
Knowledge (Know) & Skills (D0) Concepts & Competencies
Level 1 - Recall - Recall of a fact, information, or procedure Level 2 - Basic Application - of Skill/Concept - Use of
information, conceptual knowledge, procedures, two or more steps
Level 3 - Strategic Thinking - Requires reasoning, developing
a plan or sequence of steps; has some complexity; more than one possible answer; generally takes less than 10 minutes to do.
Level 4 - Extended Thinking - Requires an investigation;
time to think & process multiple conditions of the problem or task; & more than 10 minutes to do non-routine manipulations.
89
Knowledge (Know) & Skills (D0) Concepts & Competencies
Low Cognitive Complexity—Level 1
• Remember • Recall • Memorize
• Recognize • Translate • Rephrase
• Describe • Explain • Repeat
Moderate Cognitive Complexity—Level 2
• Apply • Execute • Solve
• Connect • Classify • Break Down
• Distinguish • Compare • Contrast
High Cognitive Complexity—Levels 3 & 4
• Integrate • Extend • Combine
• Design • Create • Judge
• Perform • Value • Assess
90
Three Different DOK Levels Using 1 Verb: Describe DOK 1- Describe three characteristics of metamorphic
rocks. (Requires simple recall) DOK 2- Describe the difference between metamorphic &
igneous rocks. (Requires cognitive processing to determine the differences in the two rock types)
DOK 3- Describe a model that you might use to represent
the relationships that exist within the rock cycle. (Requires deep understanding of rock cycle & a determination of how best to represent it)
91
Difficulty is a reference to how many students answer an item correctly •How many of you know the definition of exaggerate? DOK Low = Recall If all or most of you know the definition , this item is an easy one. •How many of you know the definition of illeist? DOK Low = Recall If most of you do not know the definition, this item is a difficult one.
DoK is not about difficulty
92
Complexity vs Difficulty
The Depth of Knowledge levels are based on the complexity of the mental processes the student must use to find the correct answer, not the difficulty of the item.
93
Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy Webb’s DOK 1. Remembering define, identify, name, select, state, order (involves a one-step process)
1.0 Recall & Reproduction Recall a fact, information or a procedure: define, identify, name, select, state, order; involves a one-step process 2. Understanding
convert, estimate, explain, express, factor, generalize, give example, identify, indicate, locate, picture graphically (involves a 2-step process)
3. Applying apply, choose, compute, employ, interpret, graph, modify, operate, plot, practice, solve, use, (involves a three-or-more step process)
2.0 Apply Skill Concept Engages mental process beyond habitual response using information or conceptual knowledge. Requires two or more steps: apply, choose, compute, employ, interpret, graph, modify, operate, plot, practice, solve, use involves a two-step process
4. Analyzing compare, contrast, correlate, differentiate, discriminate, examine, infer, maximize, minimize, prioritize, subdivide, test
3.0 Strategic Thinking Requires reasoning, developing plan or a sequence of steps, some complexity, more than one possible answer, higher level of thinking than previous 2 levels: compare, contrast, correlate, differentiate, discriminate, examine, infer, maximize, minimize, prioritize, subdivide, test
5. Evaluating arrange, collect, construct, design, develop, formulate, organize, set up, prepare, plan, propose, create, experiment & record data
4.0 Extended Thinking Requires investigation, complex reasoning, planning, developing & thinking-probably over an extended period of time. 1. Longer time period is not an applicable factor if work is simply repetitive & does not require higher-order thinking: arrange, collect, construct, design, develop, formulate, organize, set up, prepare, plan, propose, create, experiment & record data
6. Creating appraise, assess, defend, estimate, evaluate, judge, predict, rate, validate, verify
94

Students should be presumed innocent of understanding until proven guilty by a preponderance of evidence.
Obtain valid, reliable, credible & useful evidence of student
learning through: Performance Tasks
▪ A performance task is a goal-directed assessment exercise. It consists of an activity or assignment that is completed by the student & then judged by the teacher or other evaluator on the basis of specific performance criteria
Rubrics ▪ A rubric is a scoring tool that teachers use to assess student learning after a
lesson. Using a set of criteria & standards (directly tied to the stated learning objectives), educators can assess each student's performance on a wide variety of work, ranging from written essays to class projects.
Self-Assessments ▪ The ability of students to observe, analyze & judge their own performance
on the basis of criteria & determine how they can improve it
