Teams that can verify that all success criteria BI: Big Idea are represented in their CFAs will know EQ:Essential Question they have created a quality assessment. For each of the ten design steps, the LP: Learning Progression corresponding chapter of Common FormQPC: Quick Progress Check ative Assessments 2.0 is indicated in PS: Priority Standards parentheses. The alphabetized key in the box SS: Supporting Standards refers to the specific components in the SSC: Student Success Criteria CFA 2.0 process. These abbreviations ULI: Unit Learning Intention appear in the success criteria below. UPS:“Unwrapped” Priority Standards SUCCESS CRITERIA FOR POST-CFA Step 1: Identify the Unit Priority Standards and Supporting Standards (Chapter 4) List full text of PS in bold type preceded by proper coding List full text of SS in regular type preceded by proper coding Limit total number of standards to sharply focus unit instruction and assessment Comments Most of the criteria have been met. Please note that check mark (√) indicates criteria achieved. Yellow highlighting indicates criteria needs to be addressed in the CFA M2 COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS 2.0 Step 2: “Unwrap” the Priority Standards and Create a Graphic Organizer (Chapter 5) Underline teachable concepts (nouns, noun phrases) and CAPITALIZE skills (verbs) Create graphic organizer for “unwrapped” concepts, skills, and levels of cognitive rigor: Make connections explicit between skills and concepts (e.g., ANALYZE author’s point of view; SOLVE real-world mathematical problem) Assign approximate level of the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (1–6) and Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (1–4) to each concept–skill pair Include all “unwrapped” concepts and skills from PS only Comments All criteria have been met. Bulleted graphic organizer makes the content to be taught and assessed very clear. Step 3: Determine the Big Ideas and Essential Questions (Chapter 5) Big Ideas: Three to four key understandings students discover on their own Topical statements specific to unit UPS, not broad generalizations Derived from UPS, not curriculum materials Written as sentences, not phrases Convey long-term benefit for learning Represent desired student responses to teacher’s EQs Essential Questions: Represent comprehensive list of ULIs and SSC for unit of study Require higher-level thinking skills to answer Written as “one-two punch” questions when appropriate Will lead students to discover corresponding BI Engaging for students APPENDIX M M3 Comments The Essential Question you have crafted seems most relevant to encompass two of the three branches of government. Could you also include the judicial branch? It might also be helpful to have a BI and an EQ for each standard. Step 4: Write the Unit Learning Intention as Student Success Criteria (Chapter 6) Review the PS, SS, UPS, EQs, and BIs on the design template; confirm these as your comprehensive set of ULIs Write the comprehensive set of ULIs as SSC in a threecolumn SSC chart on the design template: Confirm the unit vocabulary as part of your ULIs Write EQs under provided performance statement in Column 1 Write UPS under provided performance statement in Column 2 Write unit vocabulary under provided performance statement in Column 3 Add student-friendly version of the UPS in middle column, if needed Confirm SSC represent all unit ULIs to be assessed on CFAs Comments You have noted many vocabulary words. Are there more you might derive from the standard? . Step 5: Create the Post-Assessment Questions (Chapter 7) Include blend of selected-response questions (multiple-choice) and constructed-response questions (short-response, extended-response, Big Idea responses) Directly align all questions to UPS and levels of cognitive rigor on graphic organizer Include proper academic vocabulary, not simplified terms Reflect formats, language, vocabulary of external, large-scale assessments M4 COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS 2.0 Write multiple-choice questions to include stem, correct/best answer, and three distracters Provide distracter analysis for each multiple-choice question Write appropriate number of short-response questions Provide commentary or solution statement for each question Create one extended-response question that aligns to most, or all, SSC Provide commentary or solution statement for extended-response question Write directions for students to provide BIs in response toEQ Double check: make sure all questions collectively address all SSC Comments You have an excellent start on the assessment. Just be sure to make sure you address all the priority concepts and skills in the assessment. Use the “unwrapping” as a way to check off this in your assessment and be sure to match the rigor. Be sure to include student directions that will also be reflected in the scoring guides. Step 6: Construct the Scoring Guides (Chapter 8) Prepare answer key for selected-response questions Decide number and names of performance levels Write criteria for “achieving” and “exceeding” performance levels Use objective wording only; no vague, subjective terms open to multiple interpretations Include combination of quantitative and qualitative criteria Write criteria directly matched to directions in assessment question Create task-specific scoring guides for short-response questions Create task-specific scoring guide for the extended-response question Create generic scoring guide for students’ BI responses to EQs Comments At this point in time, you have bolded the correct responses for selected response items. You will probably want to have a separate answer key for this. It appears that you understand how to create effective scoring guides. Once you have determined the criteria for meeting or achieving the goal (proficient), be sure this APPENDIX M information is included in the student directions. M5 M6 COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS 2.0 Step 7: Create the Pre-Assessment Questions and Scoring Guides (Chapter 8) Decide whether pre-CFA will be aligned or “mirrored” Select/copy questions from post-CFA or create new ones Decide whether to use same or different reading passage Decide whether to use same or different math problems Copy/create answer key for selected-response questions Copy/create scoring guides for constructed-response questions Comments Once the post assessment is completed, this will be you next task. The remaining steps in the appendix will also provide guidance. Step 8: Evaluate and Revise Assessment Questions for Quality (Chapter 9) Confirm direct alignment of questions to all unit SSC Confirm direct alignment of questions to UPS and levels of cognitive rigor Check questions for validity, reliability, and absence of bias Ensure all questions meet established guidelines for quality; revise as needed Check questions for clear, concise language Confirm questions will produce credible evidence of student learning Confirm student feedback will yield accurate inferences about student learning Ensure proper academic vocabulary, not simplified terms Confirm alignment to formats, language, vocabulary of external, largescale assessments Comments APPENDIX M Step 9: Determine the Learning Progressions and Instructional Sequence (Chapter 10) Confirm that LPs reflect Popham’s four steps for determining learning progressions: Step 1: Acquire a thorough understanding of the target curricular aim. Step 2: Identify all requisite precursory subskills and bodies of enabling knowledge. Step 3: Determine whether it’s possible to measure students’ status with respect to each preliminarily identified building block. Step 4: Arrange all building blocks in an instructionally defensible sequence. Review each set of LPs leading to a specific ULI; revise as needed Review the number and size of LP “building blocks” planned for each ULI; revise as needed Comments Look once again at the “unwrapped” standards and a couple of short constructed response items to double check if you have met the highlighted criteria. Step 10: Plan Quick Progress Checks to Coincide With Learning Progressions (Chapter 10) Review each QPC to ensure it matches related LP; revise as needed Reconfirm insertion points of QPCs within each set of LPs Make sure each QPC clearly states what students are to do Confirm that student responses to QPCs will make accurate inferences possible and inform instructional next steps Comments M7 #$ ----------'("!/(!&!/)(#&'$"&&#!$ (. 4+ $ 4*$($$""$($"#% "$$"#. $"7/ &(""$($"#". &()$$#&("("&' '(. &(& ''("8""$($"#. 5+ $ 5*0'" 0$""$($"#"$" ")". $"8/ &(' '"#"$(' & -"(6)"& "#"$('/ 7 *(1)"+&$$2'("&'"$$&#$&( -!(+((& * #&#&6 ##!0'/ 7 6+ $ 6*$"$###$%#$#. $"8/ &(' "+(()"(0'""$($"#. #('#"*- #"4(&!"('#& &"". #'(''"( )'(#" "+()"(""$($"#. #'(''"( )'(#"&%)&&4#&&(""' '(#"'+&.
