          • broad and deep                  • stimulate inquiry
          • open & alive; lasting &         • deepen understanding
Open




            recurring                       • not answerable by unit
          • cut across unit, course, & end
            often subject boundaries

          • cut across unit, course, • unit-specific
Guiding




            and often subject        • yield one or several
            boundaries                        definitive or settled core
          • yield one or more                 understandings
            desired understandings

                  -- from Wiggins and McTighe, UbD 2nd ed., p. 116
Scope/Intent Insights
•   Topical questions are necessary to focus on unit understanding
    but not sufficient for transfer or connections beyond the unit

•   Overarching/Open questions alone cannot link to core
    curriculum and can result in aimless discussion or frustrate
    students

•   Guiding questions alone can stifle intellectual freedom, inhibit
    student questions, and limit deep understanding

•   Topical questions must be explicitly matched with Overarching
    questions to be essential and lead students to on-going inquiry
Misconception Alert
• A Leading Question is answerable by just
  remembering what was said or read, or
  knowing where to find the answer
• A Topical Question demands analysis,
  interpretation, and construction of
  arguments — in other words, real thought,
  not just recall
• The CONTEXT of use in the
  classroom is the key difference
The best units offer
 “a delicate mix of open and
guiding as well as topical and
    overarching inquiries ...
  show[ing] that intellectual
  freedom and creativity are
  valued alongside the most
powerful insights of experts.”
    –Wiggins and McTighe, UbD 2nd ed., p. 118

Like the judicial system,
         we need a
“preponderance of evidence”
  to convict students of
         learning!
                       –Jay McTighe
Inauthentic Work                                         Authentic Work
Fill in the blank                                    Conduct research using primary sources


Select an answer from given choices                  Debate a controversial issue


Answer recall questions at end of chapter Conduct a scientific investigation


Solve contrived problems                             Solve “real-world” problems


Practice decontextualized skills                     Interpret literature


Diagram sentences                                    Do purposeful writing for an audience



                    –from Tomlinson & McTighe, Integrating Differentiated Instruction & Understanding by Design, p. 68
Characteristics of
          Performance Tasks
•   Realistically contextualized
•   Requires judgment and innovation
•   Student must “do” the subject
•   Replicates situations that “test” adults
•   Negotiating a complex, multi-stage task
•   Opportunities to rehearse & get feedback
                                   –from UbD, 2nd ed., pp. 153-155
Using GRASPS
•   Goal

•   Role

•   Audience

•   Situation

•   Product, Performance, and Purpose

•   Standards & Criteria for Success
Validity
•   Criterion-referenced

•   Directly aligned with standards, benchmarks,
    understandings, questions

•   Rubric development

•   Self-Test of Assessment
Reliability



•   Replicable results

•   Common assessment tool
Significance of Results
•   Criterion-referenced against standards and
    benchmarks

•   Comparison with Diagnostic Assessment to
    demonstrate growth

•   Both contribute to significance
Assessment Checklist
•   Aligned with Standards, Understandings, &
    Essential Questions
•   Performance-based context
•   Authentic situation (student perspective)
•   Variety of formats or modes of response
    involving some student choices
•   Established criteria
•   Tasks demonstrate understanding

  • 15. Scope/Intent Insights • Topical questions are necessary to focus on unit understanding but not sufficient for transfer or connections beyond the unit • Overarching/Open questions alone cannot link to core curriculum and can result in aimless discussion or frustrate students • Guiding questions alone can stifle intellectual freedom, inhibit student questions, and limit deep understanding • Topical questions must be explicitly matched with Overarching questions to be essential and lead students to on-going inquiry
  • 16. Misconception Alert • A Leading Question is answerable by just remembering what was said or read, or knowing where to find the answer • A Topical Question demands analysis, interpretation, and construction of arguments — in other words, real thought, not just recall • The CONTEXT of use in the classroom is the key difference
  • 17. The best units offer “a delicate mix of open and guiding as well as topical and overarching inquiries ... show[ing] that intellectual freedom and creativity are valued alongside the most powerful insights of experts.” –Wiggins and McTighe, UbD 2nd ed., p. 118

  1. In effective assessments, we see a match between the type or format of the assessment and the needed evidence of achieving the desired results. If the goal is for students to learn basic facts and skills, then paper-and-pencil tests and quizzes generally provide adequate and efficient measures. However, when the goal is deep understanding, we rely on more complex performances to determine whether our goal has been reached. The graphic below reveals the general relationship between assessment types and the evidence they provide for different curriculum targets.
