Backward mapping Processes for aligning teaching, assessing and reporting Session 4

Step 1: What do we want students to learn? • Identify the key understandings • Identify key skills • Identify focus areas for teaching understanding and skills Build a picture of why that learning matters

Identifying learning expectations Understanding / Skills practise and refine skills involved in invasion games develop their understanding of strategies and movement concepts associated with invasion games Achievement standard Content Learning expectation understand how the concepts and strategies can be transferred to other games and sports

Unpacking learning expectations • For each of the understandings and skills, identify the learning expectations described within the: – Achievement standards – Content descriptions Build a picture of how well students need to learn

Interpreting the standards • continuum of development • read in conjunction with content • describes typical level of achievement

Making the links What do we want students to learn? What do we assess? What do we record?

Why do we assess? • To collect information about students’ learning • To make judgments about: • quality of student learning • quality of our teaching

Assessment should: • be relevant (linked to standards and content) • be appropriate (measures what it intends to measure) • be fair (opportunity for all students to demonstrate what they have learnt) • be accurate (reliable and valid) • provide useful information – of learning (summative) – for learning (formative)

Creating maximum learning effect – Visible learning – Transparent learning goals – Success criteria – Quality feedback Focus on performance against a standard not performance against other students Source: Hattie: Visible Learning, 2008 Routledge; ISBN 13: 9780415476188; ISBN 10: 0415476186

Our tools of the trade

Group relay challenge What sorts of assessment tools and evidence do you currently use to make judgements about student achievement?

What constitutes evidence? • • • work samples / work books practical performances peer coaching opportunities group presentations group and class discussions responses to questions observations of students working in-class tasks tests take home assignments

Considerations when selecting assessment tools • time efficiency (both the students’ time and yours) • reliability within a class • consistency of judgement across classes

Planning your assessment What might you observe students doing, saying or producing that will support you to make an on-balance judgement?

Planning your assessment What learning activities will provide an opportunity for: – students to demonstrate what they’ve learnt? – teachers to provide timely feedback?

Bringing it all together What do we want students to learn? What do we assess? What do we record?
