Session 7Instructional Implications Part III

Shifting Again from Summative Context to Curriculum-Embedded Context

• Consolidate ideas about needed learning experiences based on Hand-Scoring Cycle III.

• Revisit the role of Universal Design for Learning in planning the kinds of learning experiences and tasks we want for our students.

We think students need experiences working on tasks that:

a. Are set in a sustained, real-world, age-appropriate context with a driving goal (e.g., planting a garden)

b. Require students to coordinate across multiple data sources

c. Require students to make choices and decisions

d. Require students to analyze others' thinking (e.g., identify an error in someone's solution to a problem; compare approaches to a problem)

e. Ask students to explain/express ideas, processes, and problem-solving strategies in written form, with opportunities for feedback and revision

f. Provide opportunities for self-correction (working on one part of the task prompts students to revisit and rethink their work on a prior part)

g. Result in a specific product for a well-defined audience (e.g., policy recommendation to city council, brochure for visitors)

Session 7: Instructional Implications Part III

Activity

• Capture your own list of needed learning experiences on Handout 7.1, and make some notes about incorporating UDL in planning for these experiences.

• Jot down some of the activities you currently use— or want to start using—in your own classroom to support the kinds of learning experiences you think students need.

Share Ideas

Take a few minutes to look at the posters around the room.

Think again about how the Universal Design for Learning principles would be helpful in planning for the kinds of experiences being identified.

Session 8Curriculum-Embedded

Performance Assessment

Going Deeper into Curriculum-Embedded Context

• Understand the value of performance assessment as a way of formatively assessing knowledge and skills needed for success on Smarter Balanced performance tasks.

• Analyze and reflect on different versions of a performance task.

• Experience a formative assessment cycle with a performance task.

Framing Question

How can we use performance tasks to formatively assess what students are learning in our classrooms . . . . . . in other words, to formatively assess our own instruction?

Session 8: Curriculum-Embedded Performance Assessment

Using performance tasks to formatively assess learning (and teaching)

Overview of Session

• First, we will reflect on two draft versions of a performance task developed by a former teacher and author of Smarter Balanced performance tasks.

• Then, we will enact a cycle of formative assessment using a performance task.

About the Task: Owning a Pet

• Two versions in draft form

• Written by a former teacher who is one of the authors of Smarter Balanced performance tasks for grades 3–11

• Scaffolded version is structured like a Smarter Balanced performance task

• Open-ended version illustrates how a structured task can be opened and extended into a curriculum-embedded project

Reflection on the two versions of Owning a Pet

• What does each version of the task give students an opportunity to show?

• How does each task incorporate the Mathematical Practices and a variety of skills?

• How might the student learning experiences vary between the two tasks?

• Why is it important to incorporate a variety of tasks, with varying levels of scaffolding, into the curriculum?

Instructional Considerations for Each Version of Owning a Pet Scaffolded Version of Owning a Pet Open-Ended Version of Owning a Pet

• Time consideration:

• Classroom routines needed for this type of task:

• Possible student supports for this type of task:

• What evidence is gained using this type of task?

Do a Performance Task

About the Task: Wrap the Mummy

• Could be a one-day or multi-day task

• Math content from a range of grade levels can be activated in solving the problem

• Think about the Smarter Balanced Claims and CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practice that you might assess with this task

Wrap the Mummy

Part 1: Will one roll of toilet paper be enough to wrap one person? • Say how you know. • Write down questions and assumptions

Part 2: Write down instructions for fellow students. • Make it easy for them to figure out how much toilet paper

they will need.• Instructions should allow for different numbers of guests, and

for guests of different ages.

Give feedback on responses to the task.• Review and provide feedback for one response to the task.

• In pairs, discuss ideas for feedback with a partner.

• Clarify differences and similarities among your ideas for feedback, and write draft feedback comments/questions.

• Share draft feedback with your table group and agree on the most effective feedback comment/question.

• Provide feedback to the authors of the response.

• Authors revise/refine based on the feedback.

• Report out on themes for effective feedback.

Reflect on giving effective feedback.• What makes feedback effective?

• What makes feedback on students’ writing in mathematics classes effective?

• Discuss with your table group and be prepared to share out with the whole group.

Elements of Effective FeedbackElement Description

Actionable Effective feedback is concrete, specific, and useful; it provides actionable information.

User-friendly Even if feedback is specific and accurate in the eyes of experts, it is not of much value if the user cannot understand it or is overwhelmed by it.

Timely We should ensure that students get timely feedback and opportunities to use it while the attempt and effects are still fresh in their minds.

Ongoing Adjusting our performance depends on not only receiving feedback but also having opportunities to use it.

Consistent Feedback must be consistent. Teachers need to look at student work together, becoming more consistent over time and formalizing their judgments in highly descriptive rubrics supported by anchor products and performances. If we want student-to-student feedback to be helpful, students have to be trained in the same way as teachers, using the same materials.
