Simple Tools That Make Alignment Easy Judy Meier Penn and Livia Sa Shoreline Community College

Why Alignment? SOCIETY INSTITUTION FACULTY …expects members to be productive, to have mastered knowledge & skills for their professions Programs Courses Course Course Description Instructional Materials Course Activities

Why We Struggle with Alignment Materials Materials Materials Public Perception of Course Our Personal Beliefs About the Course Materials Materials Materials Materials Materials

Activity 1. Read this course description Activity 1. Read this course description. At what level is this course taught (table). BIOL 124. Northwest Flora. Plant classification, field study, and laboratory identification of common Pacific Northwest plant families and investigating the ecology, cultural uses & conservation of plants at the local & global level.  Laboratory. Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation Remember previously learned information. Demonstrate an understanding of the facts. Apply knowledge to actual situations Break down objects or ideas into simpler parts; find evidence to support generalizations. Compile component ideas into a new whole or propose alternative solutions. Make and defend judgments based on internal evidence or external criteria

Activity 1. Read this course description Activity 1. Read this course description. At what level is this course taught (table). HIIM 235 Health Information Technology Capstone Course. Student teams research and present business plans for a new clinic health information department   Investigate, select and present department functions, job descriptions, supplies/equipment list, policies, procedures, flow charts, layout, and budget according to team-developed planning time table.   Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation Remember previously learned information. Demonstrate an understanding of the facts. Apply knowledge to actual situations Break down objects or ideas into simpler parts; find evidence to support generalizations. Compile component ideas into a new whole or propose alternative solutions. Make and defend judgments based on internal evidence or external criteria

Steps in Alignment 1. Look at your course description. This is what the public sees about your course. Ask a few acquaintances to look at it also! What Bloom’s category best fits this description? Is this course mostly about understanding, knowledge? Or, is it more hands-on application of information? Or, is it mostly philosophical, analytical?

Steps in Alignment 2. Next, look at your Course Activities Activities = Learning Activities (readings, assignments, exams, what students are DOING in your course) Do these activities mostly fall under the Bloom’s category that you selected?

Hypothetical Example: PHIL 240. Introduction to Ethics. Examination of historically significant philosophical theories of right and wrong, good and bad, human rights, and ideals of freedom emphasizing classic writers such as Plato, Confucius, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Kant, Mill, Marx, Nietzsche, and Rawls.  Course Activities: 8 Multiple Choice Quizzes Reading assignments Daily Lectures Comprehensive Multiple Choice Final Exam Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation Remember previously learned information. Demonstrate an understanding of the facts. Apply knowledge to actual situations Break down objects or ideas into simpler parts; find evidence to support generalizations. Compile component ideas into a new whole or propose alternative solutions. Make and defend judgments based on internal evidence or external criteria

Steps in Alignment 3. Module Objectives Do you have them? If not, create them from your Course Activities Compare Activities in a Module with Module Objectives Module 1 Objectives Learning Activities Identify and describe the steps in the scientific method View Scientific Method Lecture Scientific Method Lab Exercise Contrast the scientific method with other ways of thinking Discussion: Science or Pseudoscience? Quiz on Module 1 Develop a valid hypothesis, then design and interpret the results of an experiment to test the hypothesis
