Week 4 assignment #1 - Reader Response

"Explain how you identify the desired results, how you come up with essential questions and determine what understandings are desired?"


To come up with the desired result I look at the class and what I want my students to leave my class knowing. I then determine what they currently know (gap analysis). This leaves me with a list of desired results. The essential questions are derived by examining the desired results, and bridging that gap, if a student could answer the following question that would lead them to the desired result.



"Explain how you determine what knowledge and skills students should acquire as a result of learning (connecting to college and workforce readiness)"

Experience and research would best lead me to decide the critical skill sets necessary for a student succeed in college and beyond. I then can determine based on the age group and stages of my student how best I can build with them their knowledge and skills so eventually they can acquire those skill sets

Week 2, Assignment #3: Backward Design

The first step in Backwards design is to establish a goal.
The next step is then to design a roadmap for how is the student going to get to that goal. A teacher would then use assessments to make sure that each student was on a pathway which would lead that student to the desired goal.
