Curriculum Topic Study
A comprehensive strategy
for translating
standards and research
into instructional practice
What is CTS?
CTS is a methodological study process
and a set of tools and strategies
designed to help educators improve their teaching and learning of science
Our Challenge…
Curriculum materials and district curriculum guides are often organized by topics…
Yet the standards and results of research describing the cognitive difficulties students face are organized by concepts…
How will CTS help?
Curriculum Topic Study will help teachers:
Improve their understanding of science content
Clarify a hierarchy of content and skills in a learning goal from state or local standards
Define formative and summative assessment goals and strategies
How will CTS help?
Learn to recognize and address learning difficulties
Increase opportunities for students of all backgrounds to achieve science literacy
Design or utilize instructional materials effectively
What are CTS Guides?
CTS Guides identify the purpose of
different resources and explicitly
link relevant parts to topics of study that are useful
from the teachers’ perspective.
What do CTS Guides do?
CTS guides do the groundwork for the busy educator,
providing a one-page study guide to relevant results
from an enormous range of readings vetted in advance and
organized for each topic.
Sections of a CTS Guide
I. Identify Adult Content Knowledge
II. Consider Instructional Implications
III. Identify Concepts and Specific Ideas
IV. Examine Research on Student Learning
V. Examine Coherency and Articulation
VI. Clarify State Standards and District Curriculum

Goals and Objectives
Goals: broad, generalized statements about what is to be learned. A target to be reached or hit.
Objectives: specific, measurable, short-term, observable student behaviors. Tools to reach goals; arrows!
http://www.personal.psu.edu/staff/b/x/bxb11/Objectives/index.htm
Four parts of an objective: The ABCD’s of objectives.
Audience: Who?
Behavior: What? What do you expect them to be able to do?
Overt, observable behavior, even if covert or mental in nature.
Condition: How? Under what circumstances will the learning occur?
What’s given or expected as known to accomplish the learning?
Degree; How much? Must a specific set of criteria be met?
Total mastery (100%), correct 80% of the time is a common levelhttp://www.personal.psu.edu/staff/b/x/bxb11/Objectives/index.htm

Rubric: Guidelines for Evaluating Objectives
What counts?
Competent Work
Common Mistake
Needs to be revised
Missed the Point
Objectives are measurable.
Objectives are measurable and include specific information about what the student will be able to do, e.g. how well, how many, to what degree
Objectives are too general and don't include specific information on what the student will be able to do, e.g., how well, how many, to what degree
Objective are not measurable
Objectives don't describe what the student will be able to do
Objectives list the topics that will be covered rather than what the learning outcomes are

Whatcounts?
Competent Work
Common Mistake
Needs to be revised
Missed the Point
Objectives require high levels of cognition.
Objectives reflect high levels of cognition according to Bloom's Taxonomy.
All the objectives require low levels of cognition, such as “demonstrates understanding,"or "identifies."
Objectives should include at least one of the verbs in levels 3-6 of Bloom's Taxonomy.
Objectives don't use verbs to describe what the student will be able to do.

Rubric: Guidelines for Evaluating Objectives
What counts?
Competent Work
Common Mistake
Needs to be revised
Missed the Point
The learning objectives should be achievable.
The objectives listed are realistic given the time and level of the target audience
There are too many objectives.
Objectives are too difficult.
Objectives don't use verbs to describe what the student will be able to do.

Missed the Point
Are the goals of interest to the learner?
The learning objectives are of interest to the learner.
The learning objectives don't make the intrinsic and external motivation clear to the learner.
The learner can't understand the learning objectives.
The learner doesn't want to complete the tasks in the learning objectives.

Understanding by Design
Wiggins and McTighe (1998)
A conceptual framework for instructional designers
Major ideas:The "backwards design“ instructional design model
The "Six Facets of Understanding"
Taken from: http://pixel.fhda.edu/id/six_facets.html
Six Facets of Understanding
explain:Provide thorough and justifiable accounts of phenomena, facts, and data.
interpret:Tell meaningful stories, offer apt translations, provide a revealing historical or personal dimension to ideas and events; make subjects personal or accessible through images, anecdotes, analogies, and models.
apply:Effectively use and adapt what they know in diverse contexts.
Taken from: http://pixel.fhda.edu/id/six_facets.html From the Educational Research Service Web site: http://www.ers.org/ERSBulletins/0399f.htm
Six Facets of Understanding
have perspective:See and hear points of view through critical eyes and ears; see the big picture.
empathize:Find value in what others might find odd, alien, or implausible; perceive sensitively on the basis of prior indirect experience.
have self-knowledge:Perceive the personal style, prejudices, projections, and habits of mind that both shape and impede our own understanding; they are aware of what they do not understand and why understanding is so hard.

The "backward design" instructional design model
Centers on the idea that the design process
begins with identifying the desired results
then "works backward" to develop instruction
Rather than the traditional approach which is to define what topics need to be covered.
Taken from: http://pixel.fhda.edu/id/six_facets.html
Three main stages of Backward Design
Stage 1: Identify desired outcomes and results – Enduring Understandings & Essential QuestionsStage 2: Determine acceptable evidence of competency in the outcomes and results - AssessmentStage 3: Plan instructional strategies and learning experiences that bring students to these competency levels.
Taken from: http://pixel.fhda.edu/id/six_facets.html
Stage 1: Outcomes
Goals and Objectives vs. Enduring Understandings & Essential QuestionsConsider not only the course goals and objectives, but the learning that should endure over the long term = “enduring understanding.” Not just “material worth covering," but includes the following elements:
Enduring value beyond the classroom Resides at the heart of the discipline Required uncoverage of abstract or often misunderstood ideasOffer potential for engaging students
Stage 1: Outcomes
Backward design -- question format vs measurable objectives. By answering key questions, students deepen their learning about content and experience an enduring understanding. The instructor sets the evidence that will be used to determine that the students have understood the content.
These questions focus on the following:To what extent does the idea, topic, or process reside at the heart of the discipline? What questions point toward the big ideas and understandings? What arguable questions deepen inquiry and discussion? What questions provide a broader intellectual focus, hence purpose, to the work?
Stage 1: Outcomes
Once the key concepts-questions are identified, develop a few questions that apply the line of inquiry to a specific topic.
Examples from Wiggins and McTighe (1998) Overall question: "How does an organism's structure enable it to survive in its environment?" Specific topic question: "How do the structures of amphibians and reptiles support their survival?"
Asking inquiry-based questions facilitates the students "uncovering" the answer.
Stage 2: Assessment
Define what forms of assessment will demonstrate that the student acquired the knowledge, understanding, and skill to answer the questions.
Three types of assessment (Wiggins and McTighe,1998): Performance Task— At the heart of the learning. A real-world challenge in the thoughtful and effective use of knowledge and skill— an authentic test of understanding, in context.
Criteria Referenced Assessment (quizzes, test, prompts) Provides feedback on how well the facts and concepts are being understood.
Unprompted Assessment and Self-Assessment (observations, dialogues, etc.).
Stage 3: Learning Experiences and Instruction
Determine what sequence of teaching and learning experiences will equip students to develop and demonstrate the desired understanding
