EDU 645 week 1 DQ 2

Ashford 2: - Week 1 - Discussion 2

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses.

 

Standards   and Objectives

1. Describe the purpose of a learning standard (referred      to as a goal in Chapter 1) and the critical components of a learning      objective.  
   • How would you differentiate between the two if       attempting to explain it to somebody else?
   • What is the relationship between formative assessments       during instruction and the standards and objectives of that lesson?
2. Take the challenge Karen Lea presents in her blog      article Meaningful      Connections: Objectives and Standards. Select a grade level standard and design two learning      objectives AND a way to assess students FOR learning for each      objective.  Be sure to use the criteria for writing high-quality      objectives as discussed in your assigned reading and videos.

Guided Response: Respond to at least one classmate with objectives and assessment ideas in the same grade range you chose (Pre-K-2nd, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, and other) and one with objectives and assessment ideas in a completely different grade range. 

• Are their objectives clear and measurable? 
• Do they identify specifically, what the STUDENT will be      doing and how?
• Are they aligned (related) to the given standard?

It is important to remember professionalism in your feedback.  You are to give constructive feedback by giving the author a different lens with which to view their original ideas.  Therefore, provide them with a specific suggestion for making their objective and/or assessment more complex according to Bloom’s Taxonomy

Note: Before the last day of the week, you are expected to provide a secondary response to any comments or questions your instructor may have provided. This is part of the grading criteria as a demonstration of critical thinking.
 

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your discussion.
