Who came up with "backwards" lesson planning? Correct Answer: Wiggins and
McTighe
"Backwards" lesson planning Correct Answer: -Identify what we want the
outcome/goal to be
-Determine what is acceptable evidence (what do we want students to do to
prove evidence)
-Plan instruction, lessons to achieve desired outcome
"Backwards" lesson planning is different from traditional lesson planning why?
Correct Answer: Because the outcomes are used to plan the lesson.
Describe what backwards lesson planning would look like in Art when teaching a
coil pot: Correct Answer: The outcome I want is for my students to be able to
create a coil pot. I am going to have to provide evidence that the students know
how to roll coils, they understand scoring/slipping, they understand the ceramic
tools. I would then write up a full lesson plan step by step what the students are
going to do to build a coil pot.
Curriculum calibration Correct Answer: Takes a look at the standards for all grade
levels. Once standards are agreed on, teachers/publishers are aligned.
Why do the publishers of textbooks have to be aligned with the teachers? Correct
Answer: Because we teach what is in the books. We need to follow the same
standards.
,Curriculum Mapping Correct Answer: Outline of the unit or course. An ex of my
curriculum mapping: We start with learning the elements and principles of design
and touch on each of them as the projects progress.
A key component to curriculum mapping: Correct Answer: Using the internet and
finding out what others are doing. You can always tweak your mapping.
Assessment is based on how well the students understand the vocab and info.

problems with language occur.
SKILL: DEMONSTRATE KNOWLEDGE OF ASSESSMENT ISSUES RELATED TO
RELIABILITY, VALIDITY, TEST BIAS Correct Answer: ...
Some factors that affect the assessment of ELL's Correct Answer: Not familiar with
standards, uncomfortable taking a test by sections, not able to ask the teacher
questions, timed tests create anxiety
A RELIABLE assessment will have these three factors: Correct Answer: Validity,
Reliability, Practicality
Validity Correct Answer: An assessment can only be valid if it measures what it
claims to measure.
Give an example of validity in an exam Correct Answer: An exam that tests oral
comprehension must have a section where students pronounce words.
Two types of validity: Predictive and Concurrent Correct Answer: Predictive-
possible outcomes of test results
Concurrent- validity is connected with "evidence". You feel a student will have
certain results on a test because of evidence you may have.
For ex: A student with high level of English proficiency in class, the teacher would
think they would do well on an oral exam.
Four types of Test Bias that can affect validity (CATT): Correct Answer: 1. Cultural
Bias: Questions on a test that ask about things a culture cannot relate to. Holiday
celebrations.
2. Attitudinal Bias: Negative attitude of the examiner toward the language or
