End in Mind Curriculum Design

End in Mind Curriculum

Design To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where you’re going so that you better understand where you are now so that the steps you take are always in the right direction. -Stephen R. Covey http://www.flickr.com/photos/katiedee/3814099459/

Educators have adopted “End In Mind Design” into 3 steps for the instructional design process in

Standards Based Education

Stage 1. Identify Desired Results

Stage 2. Plan Assessment Evidence

Stage 3. Design the Learning Plan

First… Identify Desired Results

• What should students be able to Know,

Understand and Do at the end of this unit?

• What are my “transfer goals”? These are related to but not limited by the SOLs.

• What are the essential questions that students will revisit, discuss, and debate during this unit? http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaysk/443274048/

Stage One – Desired Results

is the same

for all students

From the ACPS Pacing Guide

Quarter 4 Civics 1.1 SOL 1.11 The student will recognize the symbols and traditional practices that honor and foster patriotism in the United States by

a) identifying the American flag, bald eagle, Washington Monument, and Statue of Liberty;

b) demonstrating respect for the American flag by learning the Pledge of Allegiance.

Unit Ten

Change in Dimension is Huge?

Two and Three Dimensional Shapes (2-3 weeks)

Transfer Goals: Students will:

1. Find the surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes.

2. Understand how a change in one dimension of an object results in predictable changes in area and/or volume.

Essential Questions:

1. How can we apply the strategies for finding the surface area and volume to solve real-world problems?

2. How can we use ratios to compare similar objects?

3. How can we use characteristics of similar objects to predict the changes in area and/or volume?

Enabling Knowledge Objectives (Know/Do):

Declarative Knowledge (Know): Students will know:

1. Key vocabulary terms: solid, polyhedra, face, surface area, lateral area, slant height, volume, hemisphere, length, perimeter, area, similar, dimension

2. There are formulas that can be used to calculate the volume of solids.

3. The surface area of a three-dimensional object is the sum of the areas of all its faces.

4. The volume of a three-dimensional object is the number of unit cubes that would fill the object.

5. A change in one dimension of an object results in predictable changes in area and/or volume.

6. A constant ratio exists between corresponding lengths of sides of similar figures.

7. Proportional reasoning is integral to comparing attribute measures in similar objects.

Procedural Knowledge (Do): Students will be able to:

1. Find the total surface area of cylinders, prisms, pyramids, cones, and spheres, using the appropriate formulas.

2. Calculate the volume of cylinders, prisms, pyramids, cones, and spheres, using the appropriate formulas.

3. Solve problems, including real-world problems, involving total surface area and volume of cylinders, prisms, pyramids, cones, and spheres as well as combinations of three-dimensional figures. Calculators may be used to find decimal approximations for results.

4. Compare ratios between side lengths, perimeters, areas, and volumes, given two similar figures.

5. Describe how changes in one or more dimensions affect other derived measures (perimeter, area, total surface area, and volume) of an object.

6. Describe how changes in one or more measures (perimeter, area, total surface area, and volume) affect other measures of an object. 7. Solve real-world problems involving measured attributes of similar objects.

From the Curriculum FrameworkSOL 1.11 The student will recognize the symbols and traditional practices that honor and foster patriotism in the United States bya)identifying the American flag, bald eagle, Washington Monument, and Statue of Liberty; b)demonstrating respect for the American flag by learning the Pledge of Allegiance.

Essential Understandings

Essential Questions Essential Knowledge Essential Skills

The United States has patriotic symbols

and traditions.Patriotic symbols and

traditions honor the people and the

history of the United States.

What are some patriotic

symbols and traditions of the United

States?How do citizens

demonstrate respect for

the American flag and the

United States?

Terms to know Symbol: A picture or thing

that stands for something else Tradition: A custom or belief

that happens over a long period of time

Patriotic: Showing respect for and love of country

American flag: A flag representing the United States

Patriotic symbols of the United States

American flag Bald eagle Washington Monument Statue of LibertyCitizens say the Pledge of

Allegiance to demonstrate respect for the American flag and the United States.

Identify and explain symbols. Gather, classify, and interpret

information.

Transfer Goals: What are they?

Which of your standards will you teach for deep understanding of this unit?

How will students be expected to demonstrate that they have conceptual understanding and can transfer the concepts independently?

(should only have 1-3)

Transfer Goals: Examples

Students will:Use their knowledge of whole number

operations to build an understanding of fraction operations.

Students will:Express personal reflections and insights

about the nature of narrative writing.Students will:Plan appropriate and scientifically valid diets

for themselves and others.

Students will:

Solve real-world problems involving the measures of interior and exterior angles of polygons.

Students will:

Know that if you add up the interior angle and the exterior angle you’ll get 180.

Students will:

Develop oral presentation skills.

Students will:

Choose appropriate vocabulary and tone for presentation to a selected audience.

Essential Questions: What Are They?

• Interpretative

• Worthy of inquiry and investigation

• The heart of the discipline

• “revisit-able”

How are form and function related in Biology?

How does an elephant use its trunk?

How do effective writers hook and hold their readers?

What is foreshadowing?

Creating your Summative Assessment

• Decide exactly how you will ask students to demonstrate their understanding at the end of the unit.

• If one piece is a test, review SOL questions from Released SOL Tests that show how your objective is assessed by the State of Virginia.

From a Released SOL Test

• 2 When people say the Pledge of

Allegiance, they promise to be loyal

to the United States and to the —

G school

H Congress

J flag

Formative Assessment• Ongoing assessment

you do during your unit to inform your instructional decisions BEFORE the summative assessment.

• Admit Passes, Class Projects, Journals, Blogs, Discussion Boards, Self-Reflections, Homework….

Stage 1. Identify Desired Results

Stage 2. Plan Assessment Evidence

Stage 3. Design the Learning Plan

Educators have adopted “End In Mind Design” into 3 steps for the instructional design process in

Standards Based Education

Stage Three: Design the Learning Plan

Balance in your head your:

• understanding of your students’ current level of knowledge (preassessment with error analysis),

• students’ learning styles, and

• the format of your summative assessment TO PLAN the students’ learning

experiences in the unit.

W – Where are we headed?

H – How will you hook and hold my attention?

E – How will you equip me for success?

R – How will you encourage me to refine, revisit, rethink, revise?

E – How will I be asked to self-evaluate?

T – How will you tailor instruction for me?

O - How will I be helped to move from

acquisition to transfer?

Maintain ALIGNMENT

The Process of Instructional PlanningTraditional Practice

Select a topic from the curriculum

Design instructional activities

Design and give an assessment

Give grade or feedback

Move on to new topic

End In Mind Design

1. Objectives - Select standards from among those students need to know

2. Assessment - Design an assessment for students to demonstrate understanding of objectives

3. Learning Plan - Decide what learning opportunities students will need and use data from assessment to give feedback, reteach, or move to the next level
