NRCCTE Objectives Analyze the characteristics of intellectually challenging assignments. Use frameworks for assessing the level of challenge in assignments. Plan intellectually challenging CTE assignments. 28 CTE Teacher Preparation Project

NRCCTE Order the four tasks from most challenging (1) to least challenging (4). Share and reach consensus. Discuss as a large Group: How did you decide what made something intellectually challenging? What are the characteristics that a make CTE assignment intellectually challenging? Why is it important for CTE assignments to be intellectually challenging? CTE Teacher Preparation Project

NRCCTE Difficulty only tells us how many students can answer a question correctly. *How many of you know the definition of the word exaggerate? DOK 1 Recall If most of you know the definition, it is an easy question. *How many of you know the definition of the words prescient? DOK 1 Recall If most of you do not know the definition, it is a difficult question.

NRCCTE Marc Umile poses for a picture in front of a projection of the string of numbers knows as pi in Philadelphia, Friday, March, 2, 2006. Umile is among a group of people fascinated with pi, a number that has been computed to more than a trillion decimal places. He has recited pi to 12,887 digits, perhaps the U.S. record.

NRCCTE Be careful not to rely solely on the action verb; verbs are not as important as the words that follow them. Consider what the task is asking the student to do. Example: Explain to me where you live does not raise the DOK of a simple rote response. Even if the student has to use addresses or landmarks, the student is doing nothing more than recalling and reciting.

NRCCTE Level 1 requires students to use simple skills or abilities. Level 2 includes the engagement of some mental processing beyond recalling. Level 3 requires some higher level mental processing like reasoning, planning, and using evidence. Level 4 requires complex reasoning, planning, developing, and thinking over a longer period of time.

NRCCTE Level 1: Identify the chain of infection. Level 2: Use infection control practices in routine situations in the lab. Level 3: Analyze non-routine health care situations and explain appropriate infection control practices for each situation. Level 4: Develop a plan to improve infection control practices in a health care facility, justifying each point in the plan with data collected from the health care facility and research on effective practices.

NRCCTE CooperativeCompetitiveIndividualistic Positive interdependence I reach my goals when other students also reach their goals. Negative interdependence I obtain my goals when others fail to obtain theirs. No interdependence Whether I achieve my goals is determined by a performance standard and is unrelated to what other students are doing.
