1. Building Curriculum from Scratch Designing Assessment Maps

2. 2 Session Objectives Participants will be able to: Identify key design principles for lesson-level design Explain how to develop an assessment map

3. 3 Core Principles and Processes for Designing CCSS-aligned Curriculum 1.Year-long skills Trajectory (predicated on PARCC model content frameworks) 2.Text Selection 3.Performance Assessment Development 4.Lesson-Level Assessment Mapping (session 4)

4. Session Agenda 1.Assessment Mapping: Building the Spine of the Curriculum 2.Guided Practice: Designing an Assessment Map 3.Reflection and Closing 4

5. Lesson-Level Assessment Mapping: Guiding Principles Texts lend themselves to specific standards Chunk and excerpt texts for depth, not coverage Scaffold and backwards map towards the end-goal, making sure students are supported throughout Draft standards-aligned lesson assessment prompts that aim to teach whole standards Integrate opportunities for Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening and Language throughout * You may need to reconsider text chunking as necessary, and in some cases, text selection and juxtaposition 5

6. Analyzing an Assessment Map Independently, read through Module 10.4 Assessment Map. As you do, pay particular attention to: How much text is treated in each lesson How the assessment prompts align to the language of the standards How lesson-level assessment prompts scaffold to the end-goal How and why the text lends itself to specific standards 6

7. Analyzing an Assessment Map In groups, answer the following questions: What do you notice about the alignment of the assessment prompts to the wording of the standards? How do the assessment prompts scaffold and build throughout the module? How do the lessons scaffold students to the expectations of the performance assessment? 7

8. Practicing Assessment Map Design In groups, you will begin designing an assessment map for Steinbeck’s, Of Mice and Men. 1.Start by identifying which standards you want to assess students on in the End-of-Unit Assessment.  Try and limit EOU assessment to two standards  Make sure these standards are overly-represented in unit  Don’t worry about crafting the EOU assessment prompt 2.Integrate opportunities for Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening and Language into the map 3.Work on chunking and assessments for lessons 1-3 Reminder: Have the CCSS and text out at all times! 8

9. Reflection and Closing What are some key considerations in developing assessment maps? What structures, resources and support will you need to do this effectively? How would you describe the process of designing an assessment map to a colleague? 9
