Deconstruct a standard that is appropriate for your 8th Grade Math. Use the Deconstructing Standards template in Module 3 to help you.
- Identify KUDs: Knowledge, Understandings, Dos
- From the standard, pull out the key understandings. Find the key nouns (concepts), verbs (measurable behavior), and context. These make up your key understandings. You are looking for “bite-sized” chunks of the standard that can be taught and assessed individually. Note: There will most often be multiple key understandings in a standard.
- Create at least five learning objectives
- Turn these key understandings into learning targets. The nouns, verbs, and context from the key understandings must be in the objectives. This makes the objectives congruent to the standard.
Use the Bloom’s Taxonomy chart in Canvas to assist.
- You will provide feedback to one of your peers on their Activity: Standards using the following:
- Praise – what did your peer do well?
- Question – are there any parts are unclear? Are there any disconnects between the standard, KUDs, and learning objective(s)? Are the “dos” – assessments aligned with the learning objectives?
- Suggest – make suggestions for improvement
