    Article looks at how to design learning objectives for a course or for unit of study using the older version of Bloom's Taxonomy. It also speaks in terms of doing this for online courses. Despite both of these points, it still is a valid set of suggestions and ideas. Perhaps more interesting is found in the comments about the SOLO taxonomy.

new york GMST513 common core Math ELA assessment samples NYSED

shared by Jim Tiffin Jr on 14 Jun 12 - No Cached
  • The sample questions emphasize the instructional shifts demanded by the Common Core.
  • The sample questions are teaching tools for educators
  • They are designed to help illuminate the way the Common Core should drive instruction and how students will be assessed starting in the 2012-13 school year.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • They were developed primarily for the purposes of communications and training. They are not test samplers, and are not meant to mirror full-length assessments. Additional information about the composition of the full-length assessments will be provided by NYSED during the summer.
  • some sample questions do not look exactly the same as what will be on future state assessments. For example, sample questions may offer clues or interact with one another, and some sample multiple-choice questions will ask the students to find the exception in the set of answer choices, although neither of these formats will be used in future state assessments.

      What do you think of this idea? Specifically the decision to leave the "Which one does NOT belong?" questions off of the selected-response sections?
  • While educators from around the state have helped craft these sample questions, they have not undergone the same extensive review, vetting, and piloting that occurs with actual questions used on the state assessments.
  • Jim Tiffin Jr on 14 Jun 12
     
    Provided in mid-June of 2012, these are NYSED sample questions but not test samplers. The highlights and annotations help explain the difference.

    This page is particularly relevant in light of the course conversations had in the SU2012 semester course.

    How does the mind work - and how does it learn? Teachers' instructional decisions are based on a mix of theories learned in teacher education, trial and error, craft knowledge, and gut instinct. Such gut knowledge often serves us well, but is there anything sturdier to rely on?
