Common Core |
- developed in 2009 - Math and English Language in 2010 - standards designed to be more comprehensive and more specific than previous state standards |
|
|
Are "common core" standards enforced by the federal government in any way? |
NO! |
|
|
scaffold/scaffolding |
to provide support for student learning, enabling them to complete tasks they could not do on their own. |
|
|
What are the three types of learning objectives? |
1) Psychomotor 2) Cognitive 3) Affective |
|
|
Explain: Psychomotor learning objective |
focuses on student skills - tasks or actions they can execute. ex) "students will be able to tell time from an analog clock" |
|
|
Explain: Cognitive learning objective |
focus on student learning. ex) "students will be able to explain how a bill becomes a law" |
|
|
Explain: Affective learning objective |
focuses on student feelings and values. ex) "students demonstrate respect for ideas different from their own" |
|
|
Acronym to help write learning objectives: S W B A T |
Students Will Be Able To This will help keep you focused on the end goal |
|
|
Learning goals should also be S M A R T goals |
Specific - goals should not simply name a content or skill area but specifically state what students will be able to do. Measurable - goals should be written so that a teacher can determine if the goal was actually achieved. Achievable - goals should be realistic, taking into account student maturity and development as well as the time constraints of the classroom. Relevant - goals should directly link to the broader overarching goals for the year. Time-Bound - goals should list a specific time frame (e.g. by the end of the unit) in which they will be achieved. |
|
|
What are the verbs for creating a measurable (most important) goal? |
list, identify, name, explain, define, order, calculate, compare, contrast, evaluate, write, draw |
|
|
What are the (3) types of unit organization? |
1) goals-based unit 2) thematic unit 3) project based unit |
|
|
Explain: goals-based unit |
This is a unit that focuses on a group of standards in the same content area. ex) a unit based on fractions |
|
|
Explain: thematic unit |
This is a unit that draws on standards from multiple content or subject areas. ex) a unit on math in art would be a thematic unit. |
|
|
Explain: project based unit |
This type of unit focuses on the creation of a specific end product that demonstrates mastery of the objectives. ex) a unit in which students create a math-based art museum would be a project based unit. Projects can include books, plays, presentations, and field trips. |

|
What are the four stages of Piaget's Theory of Development? |
Human development occurs in 4 general stages: 1) sensorimotor 2) pre operational 3) concrete operational 4) formal operational * With each new stage, the individual has a greater capacity to comprehend and to make sense of the world. * This course of development is biological, therefore the process cannot be accelerated, or any stages skipped. |
|
|
Explain Vygotsky's Zones of Proximal Development. |
Learning occurs through two distinct processes 1) Development 2) Teaching * Development occurs naturally and spontaneously. * Teaching is an active, intentional process. Ex: A student's linguistic ability will improve over the course of early and middle childhood through natural development. However, the development of a large vocabulary and critical thinking skills occurs only through active teaching. |
|
|
True or False? Vygosky concluded that teaching occurs in the zone of proximal development. |
True! This is the difference between what a student can do independently - or what the student has mastered - and what the student can do with help - what the student is developmentally capable of, but has not been taught yet. (This is where scaffolding comes into play.) |
|
|
What is Bloom's Taxonomy? |
It is a framework for categorizing educational goals. |
|
|
What are the 6 categories of Bloom's Taxonomy? |
1) Remembering 2) Understanding 3) Applying 4) Analyzing 5) Evaluating 6) Creating |
|
|
What does it mean to sequence content? |
- The goal should be to scaffold objectives, providing support to help move students toward attainment of the unit objectives, and ultimately of the year-long goals. - All unit learning objectives must be broken down into specific lesson objectives that move students upwards on Bloom's Taxonomy. |
|
|
What is instructional pacing? |
How quickly a teacher moves through the content and related activities. |
|
|
What are curriculum-based measures? |
- Measures that determine student progress and performance based on specific lessons presented in the unit. - The teacher must then adapt lessons and pacing to accommodate students' needs. |
