CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Premises
Curriculum, instruction and assessment
must be learner-centered and aligned to
be effective.
Ensuring that all Texas students master
the state-adopted curriculum is a critical
teaching responsibility.

C/I/A-9

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Objectives
The participant will be able to:
Use multiple data sources to analyze and
make decisions about curriculum,
instruction, and assessment to support
continuous improvement
Develop an understanding of learnercentered curriculum, instruction, and
assessment and be able to articulate it

C/I/A-10

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Objectives (continued)
Recognize learner-centered instructional
decisions that address four critical elements:
Thinking at High Cognitive Levels and Making
Connections
Varied Needs and Characteristics of All Levels
Assessing Student Progress
Alignment of Learning Objectives

Develop an awareness of multiple


instructional strategies to meet the various
needs of all learners
C/I/A-11

A Shift in Teaching and Learning


The Texas Perspective
Working at your table and using the items in the
envelope marked, The Texas Perspective on
the Shift in Teaching and Learning, categorize
the items under the headings DECREASE and
INCREASE.
Be prepared to discuss as a whole group.

C/I/A-14

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

A Shift in Teaching and Learning

Texas Perspective on the Shift in Teaching and Learning


Decrease
Isolation
Learning is other-directed
Sort and select students
Student differences are masked or acted
upon when problematic
A relatively narrow sense of intelligence
prevails
Whole-class instruction dominates
Tests for pieces of learning
Learning bits of information
Time driven
A single form of assessment
Assessment most common at end of
learning

Increase
Collaboration and communication
Learning is self-directed
All students will learn
Student differences are studied as a
basis for planning
A focus on multiple forms of intelligences
is evident
Many instructional arrangements are
used
Assess for continuous improvement
Learning is relevant and connected to life
and other disciplines
Results driven
Multiple forms of assessment are used
Assessment ongoing and diagnostic

Adapted from various Texas Education Agency documents

3-2-1 Strategy
1) Recall your special student.
2) Select 3 practices that you feel would
positively impact your student.
3) Discuss 2 of the practices with a partner.

C/I/A-17

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Lesson Attributes
Objectives and Goals
The teacher knows what he/she wants the students
to know and be able to do at the end of the lesson.
Objectives are clear, specific, and include basic
knowledge/skills and central themes/concepts of the
discipline.

C/I/A-18

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Lesson Attributes
Engagement and Motivation
Research makes it clear that all information taken
into the brain must first pass an attentional
threshold. The student must be engaged and
interested in the new learning in order to be selfdirected/intrinsically motivated and successful in
learning.

C/I/A-19

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Lesson Attributes
Connections and Relevance
New learning must build on prior knowledge, the
hook on which to hang the new. Teachers will be
most successful when they can connect new
information to prior knowledge and to various
disciplines, as well as make the learning relevant to
the lives and interests of the learners.

C/I/A-20

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Lesson Attributes
Questioning and Inquiry
The key to minds-on learning and a strong check
for understanding is effective questioning and inquiry,
both by the teacher and by the student. Instruction
should be student-focused, inquiry-based, and
directed to students as thinkers and problem
solvers.

C/I/A-21

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Lesson Attributes
Feedback and Reinforcement
Timely, specific, quality feedback helps students
understand why they are successful or unsuccessful
in learning and results in a higher level and
frequency of student commitment to the learning.
Students are then able to repeat their effort and
succeed or make adjustments in order to be more
successful.
Reinforcing prior learning helps students retain
knowledge and extend learning as they apply skills in
multiple contexts.
C/I/A-22

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Lesson Attributes
Monitoring and Assessment

Effective monitoring enables the teacher to have a


conscious awareness of where each student is in
relation to the learning objective.
Formative and summative assessment takes place
during and after the teaching of the lesson objective
to provide data regarding mastery of the learning to
both the teacher and the student.

C/I/A-23

CURRICULUM / INSTRUCTION / ASSESSMENT

Lesson Attributes
Application
Brain research supports the opportunity for students
to apply new learning, thus making stronger
connections and driving the knowledge into longterm memory. Many of the TEKS/TAKS skills require
the application of learning.

Change in Terms

The names of six major categories were changed from noun to verb
forms.
As the taxonomy reflects different forms of thinking and thinking is an
active process verbs were more accurate.
The subcategories of the six major categories were also replaced by
verbs
Some subcategories were reorganized.
The knowledge category was renamed. Knowledge is a product of
thinking and was inappropriate to describe a category of thinking and
was replaced with the word remembering instead.
Comprehension became understanding and synthesis was renamed
creating in order to better reflect the nature of the thinking described
by each category.

What Is Meant by Differentiation?


Differentiation of instruction is a way of thinking
about teaching and learning that advocates
beginning where individuals are rather than
following a prescribed plan of action.
It is a teacher reacting responsively to a learners
needs.
The teacher does not try to differentiate everything
for everyone every day. Thats impossible, and it
would destroy a sense of wholeness in the class.

Role of Assessment
Assessment isnt something that comes at
the end of a unit to find out what students
learned; rather it is todays means of
understanding how to modify tomorrows
instruction.
Assessment always has more to do with
helping students grow than with cataloging
their mistakes.

and then
Identify the METHOD.

Types of Classroom Assessments


Brainstorm examples of classroom
assessments that teachers can use.
Indicate if they are formative or summative.
If the assessment is formative, how will it
impact instruction?

Assessment Implementation
How do instructional leaders
ensure appropriate, effective use
of formative and
summative assessments?

C/I/A-88

Begin with the End in Mind


Thinking First as an Assessor
Based on the state assessment, what
are the students needing to learn and at
what level?
How will I differentiate to meet varied
needs and characteristics?
What performance tasks will best
support learning and focus the
instructional work?
What would be the evidence of student
learning?
Against what criteria will I evaluate the
work?
How will I be able to distinguish between
those who really understand and those
who dont?
What misunderstandings are likely?
How will I check for those?

Thinking Then as a Designer


What would be interesting and
revealing activities to help assure this
learning?
What resources and materials are
available?
What will students be doing in and out
of class? What assignments will be
given?
How will students earn a grade (and
can it be justified to their parents)?
Did the activities work? Why or why
not?

Doctrine of No Surprises
Deep alignment is a comprehensive approach to
teaching and learning that goes beyond any single
measure of the curriculum taught or learned. . .is
based on what we call the doctrine of no surprises,
that is, children will not be taken by surprise with any
form of assessment because alignment is an integral
part of the instructional program, not an add on.

Curriculum and assessment alignment is a


moral issue. If the adults dont do what
needs to be done the consequences of
their negligence fall most heavily on those
students who are most dependent on the
school as their source of academic learning
namely the children of the poor.
Lawrence Lezotte
