Multiple Standards Statements
![Page 10: Module 5: “Alignment to Standards](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158c5550346895dc60df2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ways to clarify “less-than-lucid” content standards:
• Convene a small group of educators to deliberate and attempt consensus about what is meant by the standards under consideration.
• Consider the deliberations of other content specialists.
--Dr. W. James Popham
![Page 11: Module 5: “Alignment to Standards](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158c5550346895dc60df2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Take Time to Learn Standards
![Page 12: Module 5: “Alignment to Standards](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158c5550346895dc60df2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Essential Question: What does the content standard expect of students?
![Page 13: Module 5: “Alignment to Standards](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158c5550346895dc60df2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Popham Advises:
Teachers must dig into the viscera of a given content standards with the intention of better understanding what that standard seeks from students.” --Dr. W. James Popham
![Page 14: Module 5: “Alignment to Standards](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158c5550346895dc60df2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Alignment with Standards
Determine What the Standard Seeks from Students: What does the standard say. . .
• . . . students should know and understand?
• . . . students should be able to do?

Understanding by Design(UbD) –a curriculum design model that focuses on what we teach
Backward Design
--start with what the end result will be, what students should know, understand and be able to do
Design Down
-identify one or more ‘learning progressions’ that students can pursue—in any order that works--as they develop mastery of the content standard.

Other Questions From UbD
• What are the big ideas represented in the standard?
• What questions are to be explored in the standard?

Seamless Alignment: Standards to Assessments
![Page 22: Module 5: “Alignment to Standards](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158c5550346895dc60df2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Seamless Alignment: Standards to Assessments
Provide a clear vision of the learning target with samples of proficient and non-proficient work so students can see a progression to competence laid out before them.
![Page 23: Module 5: “Alignment to Standards](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158c5550346895dc60df2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Seamless Alignment: Standards to Assessments
Provide students with continuous access to descriptive (versus evaluative or judgmental) feedback—information that helps them see how specifically to improve the quality of their work.
![Page 24: Module 5: “Alignment to Standards](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158c5550346895dc60df2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Seamless Alignment: Standards to Assessments
Engage students in repeated self-assessments so they can watch themselves successfully negotiating the steps to competence.
![Page 25: Module 5: “Alignment to Standards](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158c5550346895dc60df2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Seamless Alignment: Standards to Assessments
Coach students to generate their own descriptive feedback and to set goals for what comes next in their learning.

Advantages to Using a Variety of Assessment Methods to Exemplify
Curricular Content
• Provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of curriculum in the way that works best for them.
• If the teacher uses all the methods with all the students, the teacher can see how mode of assessment affects student performance and the extent and nature of student misunderstandings of the concept.
![Page 27: Module 5: “Alignment to Standards](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158c5550346895dc60df2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Instructional Sensitivity of Tests Makes Content Standards Accessible
The key attributes of instructionally sensitive tests are that they
• Measure students’ mastery of only a modest number of curricular aims or of exceptionally important ones—so teachers aren’t overwhelmed by too many instructional targets.
• Provide teacher-palatable descriptions of the skills or bodies of knowledge being assessed—so teachers can direct their instruction toward those assessment targets
rather than toward particular test items.
• Contain a sufficient number of items measuring each curricular aim—so the tests effectively report on each student’s achievement in terms of
each assessed aim.”
--Popham, W. J. (February 2006). “Assessment for learning: an endangered species?” Educational leadership Vol 63, no. 5, pp. 82-83.

Modest Number of Curricular Aims

Contain a sufficient number of items measuring each curricular aim
—so the tests effectively report on each student’s achievement in terms of each assessed aim.”

Teacher Friendly Language for Descriptions of Skills
—so teachers can direct their instruction toward those assessment targets rather than toward particular test items.
