What we should know: Chapter 1 1. Why is Understanding by Design referred to as "Backward Design"? Because you start from the result of the lesson first. There are three stages: Identify desired result, determine acceptable evidence, Plan learning experiences and instruction. 2. What is the difference between evaluation and assessment? Evaluation is what teachers do as they finish as a lesson to grade student performance. Assessment happens throughout the lesson. Assessment monitors student performance to determine who learning easily and who may need assistance. 3. What type of assessment is most often used in your classroom or in a classroom when you were a student? How can it be justified? Criterion reference tests: Compares student performance to a specific standard. For example, verbal quizzes are given throughout the week to check student understanding. 4. What can assessment say and cannot say about learning? Assessment can determine/say what the student is presently learning. It can not say if the student will continue with the understanding into the future. 5. What is the key to constructing rubrics? The student will know what the teachers expects of them in a step by step format. Also, the students can determine their grade from a rubric. The teacher should give clear and concise instructions to serve as performance standards.
