Standards-Based Planning

Start by asking these questions… What should students know and be able to do? How will I, and they, know when they are successful? What learning experiences will facilitate their success? Based on data, how do I refine the learning experiences?

Creating Instructional Activities How is what students are able to do connected to ideas/key concepts in the course? How will students demonstrate what they know and what they can do? How will you find out what students already know and how will you help them access what they know?

Instructional Activities (cont’d) What is the best way to construct new knowledge, concepts, and skills? How will you check for student understanding? How will you differentiate instruction? How will you “frame the learning” so that students know the objectives?

Instructional Activities (cont’d) How will you provide opportunities for students to make real world connections? How will you adjust the learning environment?
