9.  Go to www.ascd.org/downloads  Enter your unique key code, found on after the table of contents (or the page before page one)

10.  Summarize the 2010-2011 school year. What about UbD worked really well? What are our struggles/frustrations? Poster paper these—yellow post-its for struggles—blue for worked well

11.  Summarize the 2010-2011 school year. To what extent has the work affected student performance ? What evidence do we have?

12.  See page 60 for examples  Choose a Topic  Write a knowledge goal  Write a skill goal  Write a meaning making goal  Write a transfer goal

13. Common Core Download available herehere – Identifying/writing overarching understandings for math/ELA – Understandings – Essential questions – Poster paper and post for sharing

14.  New  Lends itself more to a performance task than an academic prompt

15. Where are there connections between the common core and the Louisiana state standards for your unit? Possible questions: Which common core standards are represented? Which are missing, if any? Are there any Louisiana standards that are not reflected in the common core?

16. Unpacking Common Core Standards handout: What is the standard? What skills must students have to master the standard? What knowledge must be acquired? What must the student understand? What new situation should a student be able to manage with this understanding? What skills/knowledge/activities must I include to fully teach the standard? (AMT/stage three)

19. “Transfer” refers to the ultimate desired accomplishment: what, in the end, should students be able to do with all this content, on their own, if this and other related units are successful?

20.  “Only in education, never in the life of farmer, sailor, merchant, physician, or scientist, does knowledge mean primarily a store of information.”  —John Dewey

21.  Transfer Goals States the long-term accomplishments that students should be able to do with knowledge and skill, on their own. Answers the questions  “Why should I learn this?”  “What can I do with this?” Design Guide pages 65-66

25. Unit 6 Learning Targets Target 6A Understanding Graphs of Radical Functions I can determine which radical rule best fits a table or graph. I can sketch the basic shape of a graph of a radical function. I can determine the domain and range of a radical function. Target 6BUnderstanding Radical Expressions I can simplify basic square and cube roots. I can approximate values involving square and cube roots. Target 6C Understanding Radical Functions as Models I can write and solve problems that can be represented by radical functions.

29. Provide:  Evidence of Transfer Goal  Authenticity  40 year value

31.  For multiple goal types  In multiple modes  Transfer should not just be relegated to final performance task—it requires continual focus, as students need to know it is the ultimate goal
