Download or read book Understanding by Design written by Grant P. Wiggins and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2005 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.
Download or read book Creating Instructional Objectives written by Anne R. Reeves and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to create great lessons, a teacher needs to know the curriculum, know the lesson content, know the students, and know how to set objectives that will engage these students as thinkers and put them on the path to learning. In this excerpt from Where Great Teaching Begins, Anne R. Reeves introduces and illustrates a step-by-step process for analyzing complex academic standards—like those in the Common Core—and translating them into lesson objectives that are specific and learner-focused, describe learning outcomes rather than activities, and engage higher-order thinking skills.
Download or read book A Taxonomy for Learning Teaching and Assessing written by Lorin W. Anderson and published by Pearson. This book was released on 2001 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revision of Bloom's taxonomy is designed to help teachers understand and implement standards-based curriculums. Cognitive psychologists, curriculum specialists, teacher educators, and researchers have developed a two-dimensional framework, focusing on knowledge and cognitive processes. In combination, these two define what students are expected to learn in school. It explores curriculums from three unique perspectives-cognitive psychologists (learning emphasis), curriculum specialists and teacher educators (C & I emphasis), and measurement and assessment experts (assessment emphasis). This revisited framework allows you to connect learning in all areas of curriculum. Educators, or others interested in educational psychology or educational methods for grades K-12.
Download or read book Learning Targets written by Connie M. Moss and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2012-07-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Learning Targets, Connie M. Moss and Susan M. Brookhart contend that improving student learning and achievement happens in the immediacy of an individual lesson--what they call "today's lesson"—or it doesn't happen at all. The key to making today's lesson meaningful? Learning targets. Written from students' point of view, a learning target describes a lesson-sized chunk of information and skills that students will come to know deeply. Each lesson's learning target connects to the next lesson's target, enabling students to master a coherent series of challenges that ultimately lead to important curricular standards. Drawing from the authors' extensive research and professional learning partnerships with classrooms, schools, and school districts, this practical book - Situates learning targets in a theory of action that students, teachers, principals, and central-office administrators can use to unify their efforts to raise student achievement and create a culture of evidence-based, results-oriented practice. - Provides strategies for designing learning targets that promote higher-order thinking and foster student goal setting, self-assessment, and self-regulation. - Explains how to design a strong performance of understanding, an activity that produces evidence of students' progress toward the learning target. - Shows how to use learning targets to guide summative assessment and grading. Learning Targets also includes reproducible planning forms, a classroom walk-through guide, a lesson-planning process guide, and guides to teacher and student self-assessment. What students are actually doing during today's lesson is both the source of and the yardstick for school improvement efforts. By applying the insights in this book to your own work, you can improve your teaching expertise and dramatically empower all students as stakeholders in their own learning.

Download or read book Using Bloom s Taxonomy to Write Effective Learning Objectives The Abcds of Writing Learning Objectives A Basic Guide written by Dr Edmund Bilon and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-17 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually all instructors have learning objectives in mind when developing a course. They know the skills and knowledge that students should gain by the end of each instructional unit. However, many instructors are not in the habit of writing learning objectives, and the objectives remain implicit. The full power of learning objectives is realized only when the learning objectives are explicitly stated. Writing clear learning objectives is therefore a critical skill.To sharpen this skill so that your objectives are consistently precise, measurable, and student-centered, we recommend that you follow the audience, behavior, condition, degree (ABCD) method. Every learning objective must have an audience and a stated behavior. The condition and degree are not applicable to every learning objective, but they can make your objectives more precise as long as they are not forced into place.Learning objectives help anchor assessments and activities in evidence-based course design. By aligning objectives, assessments, and activities, we can collect data on student performance in achieving those objectives. This information helps students and instructors to monitor student progress. At a broader level, student performance data helps learning scientists to improve theories of learning, which in turn helps learning engineers to make interactive improvements to the course.Creating concise objectives is key to developing purposeful and systematic instruction. One of the most prevalent conclusions that educators have drawn from the large body of instructional research is that instruction needs to be tailored to support concrete instructional objectives and to meet specific learning outcomes.Table of Contents: Learning ObjectivesThe Difference between a Goal and an ObjectiveExamples of goal statements and learning objectivesThe Difference between a Course Description, a Topics List, and an ObjectiveCharacteristics of an Effective Learning Objective: ABCD Approach to Writing Learning ObjectivesDeveloping Your Learning Objectives: AudienceDeveloping Your Learning Objectives: Behavior (1 of 3)BehaviorDomains of Bloom's TaxonomyCognitive DomainKnowledge dimensionPsychomotor DomainAffective DomainWrap Up of Bloom's DomainsNOTE: Watch Out for Verbs That Are Not Observable or MeasurableDeveloping Your Learning Objectives: Condition and DegreeConditionDegreeWriting Learning ObjectivesRealizing the Full Power of Learning ObjectivesAudienceBehaviorConditionDegreeUsing Clear LanguageConsiderations in Writing Learning ObjectivesSufficient breadth and scope of learning objectivesSufficient number of learning objectivesBefore You Start WritingReference
