Building Students’ Deep Understanding through a Common Core-Aligned Unit Session 2: Rigorous Tasks as Unit Drivers 1.Introduction, Logistics, review of Bridge to Practice from Session 1 2.Activity #1: Aligning a Unit’s Culminating Task to the CCLS 3.Introduction to Depth of Knowledge 4.Activity #2: Using Depth of Knowledge to Assess the Rigor of a Sample Mathematics Task 6.Reflection, Strategies for Sharing, Bridge to Practice, and Feedback Forms 2

Reflecting on Bridge To Practice from Session 1  What unit did you choose for this course?  Why did you choose it?  What have you already developed for this unit? (lesson plans, formative assessments, rubrics, etc.) 3

ACTIVITY #1 ALIGNING A UNIT’S CULMINATING TASK WITH THE CCLS 4

What do you consider to be the important components of a unit plan in math? 5

6

Unit Outline Components Overarching Questions: The big inquiries of a unit. These questions reach across and connect content and skill in the unit. Each experience allows students to deepen responses to the overarching questions. Primary CC Content Standards addressed in the Unit: What content, skills, and performances will be the major focus for this unit? Primary CC Mathematical Practices addressed in the Unit: Which Practices lend themselves to deepening conceptual understanding and fluency in math for this unit? 7

Unit Outline Components  Sequenced Activities: Activities cohere around the same content/performances as assessment task. Activities a) allow for CCLS-based work that parallels assessments in smaller chunks; b) are sequenced to prompt retrospective work; and c) provide a model of the kind of writing, skills, and performances required by the culminating assessment.  Instructional Tasks: Provide opportunities for students to a) learn/experience/build their content knowledge b) develop skills embedded in the Math Practices; c) are sequenced to move learners from basic procedural knowledge to higher level thinking about math; and d) mirror the assessment tasks in order to provide support for students to learn the content, habits, and skills they need to successfully and independently complete the unit's culminating task. 8

Unit Outline Components  Embedded Assessments: List the ways in which you will assess student learning during and after the instructional task.  Culminating Assessment Task: How can the content, skills, and performances in the unit be combined to elicit student responses that demonstrate a deep understanding of the unit standards? 9

Performance Tasks  What comes to mind when you hear the term “performance task?” 10

Step 1. Work the task thoroughly. Step 2. Compare your work with the answer key/rubric and other instructional support materials. Step 3. Identify the content and performances required. Step 4. Match the content and performances to the CCLS. Step 5. Rate the alignment of content. Step 6. Rate the alignment of performances. Step 7. Additional considerations. 11 SEVEN STEPS FOR ALIGNING MATHEMATICS TASKS TO THE CCLS

Step 5: CCLS Mathematics Content Standards: Content vs. Performance 12 CCLSContentPerformance 4.NF.3c Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, e.g., by replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.

INTRODUCTION TO DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE 23

How does DOK fit into the Citywide Instructional Expectations for ?  A key component of the Citywide Instructional Expectations is strengthening student work by examining and refining curriculum, assessment and instruction.  Rigorous questions, tasks and assessment are essential to driving the higher-order thinking and skills students need to become college and career-ready  Depth of Knowledge is a framework that helps educators examine the level of rigor to ensure students are being pushed to meet the demands of the new standards. 24

Surfacing Definitions of Rigor  What is your current definition of rigor?  Please record it in your note-taking guide 25

DOK Video Guiding Questions  y/ProfessionalLearning/DOK/default.htm y/ProfessionalLearning/DOK/default.htm  After watching the video, think about rigor in terms of your own practice. >What sounded familiar to you? >What sounded new? 26

Knowledge - Define, duplicate, label, list, name, order, recognize, relate, recall Remember - Retrieve knowledge from long- term memory, recognize, recall, locate, identify Comprehension - Classify, describe, discuss, explain, express, identify, indicate, locate, recognize, report, review, select, translate Understand - Construct meaning, clarify, paraphrase, represent, translate, illustrate, give examples, classify, categorize, summarize, generalize, predict… Application - Apply, choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, practice, write Apply - Carry out or use a procedure in a given situation; carry out or use /apply to an unfamiliar task Analysis - Analyze, appraise, explain calculate, categorize, compare, criticize, discriminate, examine Analyze - Break into constituent parts, determine how parts relate Synthesis - Rearrange, assemble, collect, compose, create, design, develop, formulate, manage, write Evaluate - Make judgments based on criteria, check, detect inconsistencies/fallacies, critique Evaluation - Appraise, argue, assess, choose, compare, defend, estimate, explain, judge, predict, rate, core, select, support, value Create - Put elements together to form a coherent whole, reorganize elements into new patterns/ structures Bloom – 1956 to 2001

Webb’s Depth of Knowledge Levels  DOK 1 - Recall & Reproduction - Recall a fact, term, principle, or concept, perform a routine procedure  DOK 2 - Basic Application of Skills/Concepts - Apply information or conceptual knowledge to routine situations or problems, select appropriate procedures for a task, complete two or more steps with decision points along the way, organize/display data, interpret/use simple graphs  DOK 3 - Strategic Thinking - Use reasoning to develop a plan or sequence of steps to approach a problem, make a claim and justify it using evidence, solve abstract, complex, or non-routine problems with more than one possible solution or solution path  DOK 4 - Extended Thinking – Investigate multi-faceted real-world problems, use multiple sources or an interdisciplinary approach to create new understanding of a topic 28

ACTIVITY #2 USING DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE TO ASSESS THE RIGOR OF A MATHEMATICS TASK 30

Assessing Rigor Using DOK 1.Work the task 2.Analyze the rigor of the task using the Cognitive Rigor Matrix 3.Suggest changes to modify the rigor of the task, when appropriate 4. Consider instructional supports that would need to be included in the unit that builds towards this task 31

Reflection  When can you use DOK throughout the school year?  How can this process apply to other aspects of curriculum, assessment, and instruction in addition to culminating tasks?  What further support do you need in using DOK to assess and increase rigor in your classroom? 32

Bridge to Practice  Use the Task Alignment Protocol to check the alignment of your own culminating task to the targeted standards of your unit.  Assess your culminating task for rigor using the Cognitive Rigor Matrix.  Based on your analyses, make any appropriate adjustments to your culminating task  Bring an instructional task for your unit. 33
