Practice Decomposing Standards
Decomposing the Standards Knowledge Skill Reasoning/ Thinking Relates a literary work to information about its setting or historical moment. Describe the government function in taxation and providing certain goods and services. Performance Disposition Compare the advantages of sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction in different situations. Interpret tally marks, picture graphs and bar graphs
Practice l Decompose Your Standards Knowledge/Information l Skill Do not only use the VERBS l Reasoning/Thinking to decide. Sometimes, they have to do something rather basic with something really l Performance COMPLEX!! For example, students understand the l Disposition l causes of civil war. Understand is low level, but civil war is quite complex. Stiggins, R. , Arter, J. , Chappuis, S. & Chappuis, F. (2004) Classroom Assessment for Student Learning: Doing It Right—Using It Well.

Thoughts l Aha’s! l Didn’t Know! l I knew it!!! l I will do differently l I can help
Exemplar Posters
Exemplar Posters l Take a look at standards already decomposed. l What do you notice?
Observations, Conversations, Implications
Talk with your Elbow Partner… l Does this activity have implications for: How we teach l How we assess l How students perform l What students know and are able to do l Vertical Alignment l l Do you see this as valuable in your district?
Essential Questions for Teachers l What do you notice about the cognitive level of your standards? l What do you notice between grade levels of your subject area? l What do believe are the benefits to decomposing the standards like this?
Thinking Ahead Now, brainstorm ways to assess the standards. l Use sticky notes on your poster to indicate assessment ideas. l Don’t work linearly unless you want to. Jump around and be really specific about how you want to assess individual standards. l A good place to begin is with Reasoning and Thinking! l
Matching Assessments with Standards Target to Be Assessed Assessment Method Selected Response Extended Written Response Performance Assessment Personal Communication Knowledge Good match for Not a good match— assessing mastery of tapping understanding too time consuming to elements of knowledge. of relationships among cover everything. elements of knowledge. Can ask questions, evaluate answers and infer mastery---but a time consuming option. Reasoning Good match only for assessing understanding of some patterns of reasoning. Written descriptions of complex problem solutions can provide a window into reasoning proficiency. Can watch students solve some problems and infer reasoning proficiency. Can ask student to “think aloud” or can ask follow-up questions to probe reasoning. Skills Not a good match. Can assess mastery of the knowledge prerequisites to skillful performance, but cannot rely on these to tap the skill itself. Good match. Can observe and evaluate skills as they are being performed. Strong match when skill is oral communication proficiency; not a good match otherwise. Product/ Performance Not a good match. Can assess mastery of knowledge prerequisite to the ability to create quality products, but cannot use to assess the quality of products themselves. Strong match when the product is written. Not a good match when the product is not written. Good match. Can assess the attributes of the product itself. Not a good match. Adapted from Student Involved Assessment for Learning, 4 th ed. By R. J. Stiggins (2005).
