Planning Backward BY COLLEGE DESIGN Creating Effective Curriculum Maps via the Common Core Standards Presented by: Maxine Nodel
“The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see.” ~Winston Churchill
What exactly is • Planning Backward • by College Design, • and why is it needed • for grades K-12?
College & Career Readiness Assets • ELA-based Common Core Standards • 12 • K Progression & Evolution of Academic Skills By Year
Ensure that high school graduates have the intellectual & academic skill-sets to be successful in college • Ensure that post-secondary students can compete in the national & global work force • Improve our nation’s educational ranking amongst all industrialized nations
College & career readiness assets • Higher Order Thinking Skills • Research Skills • Academic Reading Skills • Academic Writing Skills (argument/counter-argument) • Listening & Speaking Skills • Time management skills • Physical & mental endurance skills
Planning With the End in Mind Ex: Building a House 1. Vision of the complete house 2. Inventory of all needed materials (assets) 3. Creation of construction blueprint 4. Creation of progressive plans 5. Creation of construction benchmarks
Building a College/Career-Ready Student • 1. Vision of college/career-ready student • 2. Inventory of College/Career assets • 3. Creation of CCS instructional blueprints • 4. Creation of progressive instructional plans • 5. Creation of learning benchmarks
Implications for Instruction • CCS • Reading-Writing-Listening-Speaking • Disciplinary Literacy • Performance-based Tasks
CCS Mindset: Every Teacher is an ELA Teacher • ELA • Social Studies • Science • Math • Technical Subjects • Other Reading (Domain Vocabulary) Writing Listening Speaking
College & Career Readiness • Common Core Standards by Course • General Course Outline • Curriculum Maps via CCS • Progression of Lessons
Curriculum Maps via • the Common Core Standards • & • Norman Webb’s DOK • [Depth Of Knowledge Framework]
Norman Webb’s DOK Framework • [Depth Of Knowledge] • DOK-1 - Recall & Reproduction • DOK-2 - Basic Application of Skills/Concepts • DOK-3 - Strategic Thinking • DOK-4 - Extended Thinking
DOK- 1 Recall & Reproduction • Recall elements & details of a story • Conduct basic mathematical calculations • Label locations on a map • Finding a measurement • Using punctuation marks correctly • Describe the features of a place or people
DOK- 2 Basic Application of Skills/Concepts • Summarize major events in a narrative • Use context clues to identify word meaning • Solve routine multiple-step problems • Describe the cause/effect of an event • Organize, represent & interpret data
Ex: DOK- 3 - Strategic Thinking • Support ideas with details & examples • Use voice appropriate to audience • Identify research questions & design a investigations for a scientific problem • Determine the author's purpose & describe how it affects the interpretation of a reading selection
Ex: DOK- 4 - Extended Thinking • Analyze & synthesize information from multiple perspectives and sources • Describe & illustrate how common themes are found across texts from different cultures • Conduct a project that requires specifying a problem, designing/conducting an experiment, analyzing its data, & reporting results • Design a mathematical model to illuminate a problem & solve a practical or abstract situation
Sample 10 Element Curriculum Map • Unit Title [& Theme if applicable] • BIG Ideas (Enduring Understandings) • Essential Questions • Content/Topics/Ideas • Domain Vocabulary • Common Core Standards • Requisite Skills • Texts & Other Resources • DOK Assessments [F, S, P] • Progression of Lesson AIMS
1. Unit: A curriculum strand taken from a complete course scope and sequence and delved into sequentially for a period of weeks. (Ex: A unit on Genetics from a Living Environment scope and sequence) 1a. Theme: An [extra] underlying motif woven into the fabric of the curriculum map. (Ex: The Implications of Exponential Medical & Technological Advancement)
2. BIG Ideas (Enduring Understandings):A starting point for backward planning and the overarching & enduring understandings students should walk away with at a unit’s end. 3. Essential Questions: Thought-provoking questions designed to facilitate higher-order during Socratic class discussion, as well as guide inquiry-based learning.
4. Content/Topics/Ideas: The specific points of the state-aligned subject-specific content points to be covered throughout the entire unit. 5. Domain Vocabulary: All the requisite terminology pertinent to the given unit that is used during Socratic class discussion, inquiry-based research.
6. Common Core Standards: • The national ELA-based learning/performance standards designed to align an rigorously evolved K-12 curriculum with college & career readiness assets • Aligned with all performance-based assessments • A simultaneous starting point for backward planning
7. Requisite Skills: All the academic tasks needed to be successful in the unit. (Ex: knowing how to calculate probability) 8. Texts & Other Resources: All genres of content information including digital, internet, & primary source documents
9. DOK Assessments [F, S, P]: • Formative: DOK 1 & 2 on the spot, ongoing, varied • Summative: DOK 2 & 3 standardized assessment at unit’s end • Performance-based: DOK 3 & 4 complex CCS-aligned inquiry-based projects
10. Progression of Lesson Objectives & DOK Teaching & Learning Activities: • All the sequential lessons needed to bring the unit’s big ideas & performance-based task to fruition • Pre-written Socratic essential and guiding questions
Creating a Performance-based Project • Consider: • the BIG unit ideas (& Unit Theme) • the essential questions • the requisite content • all the grade appropriate Common Core Standards
Sample Performance-based Project • Course/Grade: Living Environment 10 • Unit: Genetics • Theme: Implications of Exponential Medical & Technological Advancement • BIG Idea Focus: Understanding gene regulation may enable us to treat or prevent diseases that were previously unbeatable.
Sample Performance-based Project • Sample Selection of Primary CCSs • W10.1 Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics/texts using valid reasoning & relevant/sufficient evidence. • R10.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to the precise details of explanations or descriptions.
Selection of Secondary CCSs • W10.4 Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, & style are appropriate to task, purpose, & audience. • W10.5 Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting. • W10.6 Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing…to research to build and present knowledge
Sample Performance-based Project Write a five-page MLA research paper containing arguments (& counter-arguments) to support a thesis statement on the impact that Mendel and Watson and Crick have on the benefits of the Human Genome Project
Implications for Backwards DOK Instruction • Write a five-page MLA research paper containing arguments (& counter-arguments) to support a thesis statement on the impact that Mendel and Watson and Crick have on the benefits of the Human Genome Project. • Non-Fiction Reading Skills • Socratic Dialectic • Persuasive Writing Skills • MLA Research-Writing Skills • Proofreading, Editing, & Revising Skills
Ex: Next Steps for Backward Planning • School-wide discussion on College & Career Readiness Assets & rigor • Examination CCS & DOK alignment • Understanding of disciplinary literacy & need for performance-based tasks (R, W, L, S) • Begin process of curriculum mapping via BIG ideas, Common Core Standards, DOK • PD on literacy, Socratic Seminar, MLA style
Students will be required to write MLA style argumentative essays in all content areas. This will require students to: examine multiple perspectives via Socratic Seminar & valid research engage in counterclaim in oral & written form • Ex: School-Wide CCS/DOK-Aligned Focus ELA Social Studies Science Math Technical Subjects Other
