Parker Palmer discussion• How might classroom practices “empty” students of
their selfhood and inner authority?
• What kinds of practices could help remind students of their own identity and integrity?
• What “institutional demands” drown out individuals’ capacity to be attentive to their own inner voice of integrity?
• How can we insure that every person (student or teacher) has a Being celebrated ahead of whatever it is we expect them to be Doing?
Play Doh Factory
• How do we honor the self our students bring AND honor the standards-based template we are now called upon to administer?
• What key ideas can help us to deal with students and standards without taking a “Play Doh Factory” approach?

You will need:• the Disaggregating Template
• a piece of chart paper
Disaggregated Template
Disaggregating the Standard
At your table:• Determine which grade level you will
work with
• Within that grade level, determine which “essential” standard you want to disaggregate
Disaggregating the Standard
• We will model the process
• Your table will complete each section of template as we move through the process– Person with the closest birthday is the leader
• When all sections are completed, you will post your KUD statements on chart paper

Clarity about Curriculum
If a teacher isn’t clear about what all students should (know) understand and be able to do when the learning experience ends, he or she lacks the
vital organizer around which to develop a powerful lesson.
--Tomlinson, 1999
Practice Identifying KUD Statements
KUD Activity
• Determine whether each statement is a Know, Understand or Do.
• Write a K, U or D next to each statement.
• We will revisit this at the end of this section
Dissecting Standards into KUD
• Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text.
Know Understand DO
Dissecting Standards into KUD
• Standard: Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies.
Know Understand DO
Developing the ‘Know’
• These are the facts, definitions, dates, places, names, processes, and examples you want students to know to master the standard
• Nouns or Short Phrases (bulleted list not sentences)
• Bulleted lists or statements, not complete sentences
• Include essential facts that are new…..do not include a list of prior knowledge, facts, or definitions that student may use to learn new content.
Modeling the Process
Modeling the Process
Your Turn: KNOW
Work time
Developing ‘Do’ Statements
• Action statements, start with a verb• Student performance provides evidence
indicating mastery of the standard(s). • Describes procedural, application, or extended
thinking.• States that students: can explain, can
interpret, can apply, have perspective, can empathize, or have self-knowledge, etc.
• Does not describe a specific learning activity.
DO Misconception Alert!!!• The “do” is the learning outcome• This outcome may be demonstration of mastering an
standard, evidence of a thinking skill, or basic skill of a discipline.
• YES, “The students will compare two novels to determine common themes.”
• The “do” is NOT what will happen in the lesson or what the teacher will do. NOT, “The students will complete a RAFT assignment in cooperative groups”; NOT, “The teacher will read a story to the class and will ask students to complete one of three task cards based on their interests.”

Your Turn: DO
Work time
• These are the written statements of truth, the core to the meaning(s) of the lesson(s) or unit.
• These are what connect the parts of a subject to the student’s life and to other subjects.
• It is through the understanding component of instruction that we teach our students to truly grasp the “point” of the lesson or the experience.
• Understandings are purposeful. They focus on the key ideas that require students to understand information and make connections while evaluating the relationships that exist within the understandings.
Developing Statement of Understanding
Example UNDERSTAND Statements
• Essential Truths That Give Meaning to the Topic
• Begin with “I want students to understand THAT….”– Multiplication is another way to do addition– People migrate to meet basic needs– All cultures contain the same elements expressed
differently– Entropy and enthalpy are competing forces in the natural
world– Voice reflects the author
Understand - MISCONCEPTION ALERT!!!
• If a teacher finds it difficult to distinguish between the “KNOW” and the “UNDERSTAND” it is likely because the statement is pitched too low and as written, it lacks an essential truth; is focused only on facts and skills.
• KNOW: Columbus came to the New World in 1492.
• UNDERSTAND: When faced with conflict, individuals and groups either adapt or migrate to seek better conditions.

standard do the series of lessons align?
7EE3: Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.
2. Why would you use this series of lessons?
The lessons allow students an opportunity to experience a variety of different types of problems involving simple calculations to more in-depth reasoning and solving real-life situations using rational integers. The final project provides engagement as it affects their personal life. All of the situations provided apply towards the final project.
3. What do you expect students to learn from this series of lessons?
Essentially students have learned the process of calculating numbers in any form in previous standards. This series of lessons allow students to apply what they have already learned in a real-life situation and determine the reasonableness of their answer. Students will learn more about how the National Debt is determined and it impacts their life.

DOK/Webb Levels
Why Webb Leveling
SMARTER Balanced Assessment in 2015 will be based on Webb Leveling Computer generated test
Results available in two weeks Leveled
Type of assessment questions South Dakota gets same vote as California Technology Grades: 3-8 and 11 (maybe 9, 10 – course assessment)
Why Webb Leveling
We have been a “Blooms” state Blooms Taxonomy describes the type of thinking
Webb Leveling• Depth of which we expect students to demonstrate
understanding of the content• Webb’s describes complexity of both the content and the
task required• Use, Acquire, Extend
DOK Article
Directions: Read DOK article using the following marks:
X I thought differently
+ New and important information
! Wow
? I don’t get it
* VERY important to remember
DOK Reflection
Stand up and find a partner you have not worked with so far
Discussion:
• Two things you learned from reading DOK article.
• One question you still have about DOK.
Examples of Webb Levels
ELA Examples:• List three presidents.• List three presidents who have impacted our
nation the most in your lifetime.
Math Examples:• Make a conjecture about the number zero.• Prove that this conjecture about number zero is
true with all numbers.

Assessment

Thinking About Assessment
80 percent of assessments given in classrooms are geared toward low-level
thinking.
Decisions about assessment happen about every three to four minutes.
Assessment
There are many purposes for assessment…..
We may want to assess where a student is.
We may want to assess where a student is…
going.
We may want to assess what a student has learned.
But ultimately we want to know what to do next in order to close the gap.
Summative & Formative Assessment
Summative Assessment:How much have students learned at a particular point in time?
Formative Assessment:How can we use assessments to help students learn more?
Summative Assessment
The purpose of summative assessment is: to measure student achievement at a
particular point in time for reporting and accountability;
to sort students in rank order; and to maximize student learning through
standardized tests.
Formative Assessment
The purpose of formative assessment is: to promote further improvement of
student learning during the learning process and
to involve students in the ongoing assessment of their own achievement.
140
Formative Assessments
Formative assessment results are used primarily by students, educators, and parents.Results are used for:
helping students see and hit the target(s) and
identifying student needs and drives instruction.
It isn’t the method that determines whether the assessment
is summative or formative…
…it is how the results are used.
