✤ Proactive.
✤ Qualitatively different.
✤ Rooted in assessment.
✤ Multi-dimensional.
✤ Student centered.
✤ Anchored in standards.

What is the purpose of a pre-assessment?
![Page 25: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Why pre-assess?
✤ Informs of starting levels of knowledge and pre-existing conditions
✤ Informs of misconceptions✤ Measures growth✤ Allows for internal
consistency within our units
![Page 26: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Using the samples, what are some principles about constructing pre-assessments?
What are the characteristics of a good pre-assessment?
![Page 27: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Principles of Pre-Assessment Design
✤ High (enough) ceiling
✤ Directly connected with lessons/objectives
✤ Open (enough)
✤ Range of difficulty
✤ Avoid situated cognition

Pre-Assessment Strategies
![Page 30: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pre-Assessment Planning Guide
✤ What do you want your students to be able to do? What do they need to know?
✤ What are the different misconceptions students might have?
✤ What are the various ways to represent this information?
✤ Why is this important?
✤ What comes next?
![Page 31: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Objectives
✤ Estimating length to the nearest inch.
✤ Measuring and drawing line segments to the nearest inch.
✤ Drawing congruent line segments.
✤ Using appropriate units and tools to measure length, temperature, and weight.
What do you want students to know, be able to do, and
understand?
![Page 32: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Misconceptions
![Page 33: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Misconceptions
✤ Everything they will measure will be an exact number.
✤ That you can only measure objects with a ruler.
✤ 25 inches is a quarter inch.
✤ You have to start at the 0 part of the ruler to measure an object.
![Page 34: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Representations

Representations
✤ Various ways to introduce the content: songs, discovery, lecture...
✤ Various ways to represent the content: different rulers, different objects, when are estimates acceptable? different units of measure
![Page 36: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
![Page 37: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Importance
![Page 38: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Why is this important?
Put the content in context.
![Page 39: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What comes next?
![Page 40: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
What comes next?
✤ What is the next level? How can we increase the depth or complexity of the content?
✤ Is making the numbers or objects bigger the only way to do this? At what point does this lose its power?
✤ Thoughtful questions could be used to prompt students to take the content to the next level. Could they consider estimation v. actual? What about why we use inches and we don’t measure items with pencils? Cat applied it to geometry...
✤ Define test ceiling.

From measurement example✤ Abstract: Create your own ruler. Which objects are the easiest to
measure? What strategies do you use to measure challenging objects? How accurate are you? What would help you be more accurate? Use cubes to measure.
✤ Complexity: Why do you think we use inches rather than centimeters? Which should we use for this example? Why do we use inches to measure things? Why an inch? Why not a foot? Or a coffee cup? What problems do we need to solve that require measurement? Provide different rulers and ask them what is different and which one they would prefer to use.
✤ Open-ended: When is it important to be exact? What are all the ways you could measure a football field? List everything that is about 3 inches.
✤ Independence: Encourage students to write their own problems. Measure their own objects.
✤ Metacognition Questions: How do I know if an estimate is reasonable? How do I know if an estimate is close to the actual measurement?
![Page 69: Differentiation to Promote High Ability Student Growth](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103113/554c61ccb4c905f76f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Apply the questions to your lesson.✤ Abstract?
✤ Complex?
✤ Open-ended?
✤ Independence?
✤ Metacognition?
Brainstorm with a partner.

Designing Tiered Assignments
✤ Be clear about goals. What has to be constant? What is variable?
✤ Tier by complexity, content, process, products.
✤ Introduce all activities with equal enthusiasm.
✤ Remember different not more.
✤ Design for equally engaging and fair in terms of time expectations.
Think about the patterns lesson.

Quick Strategy: Be less helpful.
✤ Think about all the scaffolding you provide.
✤ Take that scaffolding away.
✤ Provide it if they need it.

✤ What if you are trying to get the largest number and the first number drawn is a 4? Where should you put it? Why?
✤ How many different two digit numbers are possible if the two digits cannot be 0? How would you figure this out without writing every possibility? How do you you know you have them all?

Migration Example• Analytical – Find two animals that share a similar migration pattern. Chart their similarities and differences. Be sure
to include information on each animal’s characteristics, habitat(s), adaptations, needs, migratory path, movement time frames, etc., as well as the reasoning behind these facts. Include an explanation as to why you think they share this pattern.
• Practical – National Geographic has asked you to research the migratory habits of _________ (your choice). They would like you to share your findings with other scientists AND to offer them recommendations about the best manner of observing in the future. Be sure to include information on the animal’s characteristics, habitat(s), adaptations, needs, migratory path, movement time frames, etc., as well as the reasoning behind these facts. Include a “How To” checklist for future scientists to use in their research pursuits of this animal.
• Creative – You have just discovered a new species of ____________. You have been given the honor of naming this new creature and sharing the fruits of your investigation with the scientific world via a journal article or presentation. Be sure to include information on this newly-discovered animal’s characteristics, habitat(s), adaptations, needs, migratory path, movement time frames, etc., as well as the reasoning behind these facts. Include a picture of the animal detailed enough that other scientists will be able to recognize it.

During Differentiation: Grouping
✤ Always have a reason for grouping.
✤ To get the most out of grouping, groups should be doing different things.
✤ Grouping doesn’t have to be a physical concept.
✤ Vary groups.

Why Grades Stink
✤ Bare minimum: Little evidence that grades motivate students to learn (Kohn, 1993; Tomlinson & Allan, 2000)
✤ Little evidence that grades communicate in meaningful or accurate ways to students or parents, grades are equivocal
