UbD, GPS, and CWT:So much more than just acronyms Cookies with Rookies Round 2
Which came first . . . • the chicken or the egg? • Now for an easier question . . . • Which comes first while planning the activities or the assessment?
Essential Questions • What phases are involved in effective lesson planning? • How is effective planning evident and observable?
Beginning with the end • Start with the standards • End with activities/lessons • Beginning with the end in mind results in well-defined goals, purposeful teaching, and enduring understanding
The UbD Process STAGE 1 Identify desired results STAGE 2 Determine acceptable evidence STAGE 3 Plan learning experiences and instruction Grant Wiggins & Jay McTighe, Understanding by Design, 2004
Stage 1 – Desired Results • What should students know, understand, and be able to do? • What “enduring” understandings are desired? • What essential questions will be explored?
Decide the NOUNS and VERBS Decide what students must KNOW and how they will DEMONSTRATE this knowledge
Start with the Standards • is your friend!!! • The Cobb standards are a result of the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS). • A wealth of resources are available to all teachers. • Evidence of instruction aligned with the standards is a critical component of the Classroom Walk-Through (CWT).
Unpacking the Standards • Circle verbs • how students will demonstrate what they know • Underline nouns • what the students are required to know • Create a concept map
Unpacking a 6th grade Social Studies Standard PS3: POLITICAL SYSTEMS The learner will be able to describe and compare government systems and their development. *SS.6.3.1 Various Types of Government • The learner will be able to describe ways in which citizensparticipate in various types of government. ***SS.6.3.2.Political Developments • The learner will be able to outline important political developments and how conflict and cooperation contribute to these developments. *SS.6.3.3 Political Systems • The learner will be able to compare and contrastpoliticalsystems.

Your turn! • From the provided standards, pick one and unpack it: • Circle verbs • Underline nouns • Create a concept map

Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence • How will you know if the students have achieved the desired results? • What constitutes acceptable evidence of student understanding and proficiency? • You are assessors not activity designers.
Performance Tasks (GRASPS) • Goal • Role • Audience • Situation • Product • Standards
Other Evidence • Quizzes • Tests • Question & Answer • Observations • Class Discussions • Homework • Journals • Ticket Out the Door
Stage 3 – Learning Plans • What activities, instruction, and learning experiences are best suited to help students reach the desired results? • What engaging and effective activities will take place?
WHERETO • What is the expected outcome? • Hook to hold interest • Equip students with experience • Rethink and revise • Evaluate • Tailor to different needs and abilities • Organize
