Lesson Plans - Search Education - Google - 0 views

  • With more and more of the world's content online, it is critical that students understand how to effectively use web search to find quality sources appropriate to their task. We've created a series of lessons to help you guide your students to use search meaningfully in their schoolwork and beyond. On this page, you'll find Search Literacy lessons and A Google A Day classroom challenges. Our search literacy lessons help you meet the new Common Core State Standards and are broken down based on level of expertise in search: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced. A Google A Day challenges help your students put their search skills to the test, and to get your classroom engaged and excited about using technology to discover the world around them.

Testing to, and Beyond, the Common Core | Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Edu... - 0 views

  • the push is now to implement next-generation learning goals that encourage higher-order thinking skills.
  • A critical piece in this roadmap will be new assessments, which have the potential to give school leaders new and better tools to guide instruction, support teachers, and improve outcomes. Assessment decisions will have a big impact on principals, who know the difference between leading a school constrained by punitively used tests that fail to measure many of the most important learning goals, and a school that uses thoughtful assessments to measure what matters and inform instruction.
  • Become part of a new accountability system that replaces the old test-and-punish philosophy with one that aims to assess, support, and improve. Tests should be used not to allocate sanctions, but to provide information, in conjunction with other indicators, to guide educational improvement.

  • some schools, districts, and states are developing more robust performance tasks and portfolios as part of multiple-measure systems of assessment.
  • In addition to CCSS-aligned consortia exams, multiple measures could include: Classroom-administered performance tasks (e.g., research papers, science investigations, mathematical solutions, engineering designs, arts performances); Portfolios of writing samples, art works, or other learning products; Oral presentations and scored discussions; and Teacher rating of student note-taking skills, collaboration skills, persistence with challenging tasks, and other evidence of learning skills.
  • How can we engage students in assessments that measure higher order thinking and performance skills—and use these to transform practice? How can these assessments be used to help students become independent learners, and help teachers learn about how their students learn? How can teachers be enabled to collect evidence of student learning that captures the most important goals they are pursuing, and then to analyze and reflect on this evidence—individually and collectively— to continually improve their teaching? What is the range of measures we believe could capture the educational goals we care about in our school? How could we use these to illustrate and extend our progress and successes as a school?
