2. Why Assessment? PLTW Curriculum Student Direction Teacher Feedback
Big Ideas  Learning Goals  Scales  Assessments

3. Big Ideas Mastered skills when they leave the class
IED – Eng. Notebook, Design Process, Sketching, CAD, Team work
CEA – Architectural Design, Commercial Design, CAD, Civil Calcs, Team Project

4. IED Example Big Ideas  Learning Goals
IED Big Idea - CAD
1. Learning Goal 1 – Basic 2D Sketch
2. Learning Goal 2 – Advanced Sketch
3. Learning Goal 3 – Basic Modeling
4. Learning Goal 4 – Advanced Modeling

5. Create Scale (Rubric) Create Scale First
Level 3 = Meeting Expectations
Begin here wanting every student to be here

6. IED Example 4 Point Scale – Level 3
IED Learning Goal 1: “Students will be able to construct a 2-Dimensional sketch using basic sketching commands and constraints.”
Commands we teach line, rectangle, circle, arc, fillet, chamfer, trim, extend, & multiple 2D constraints (dimension, parallel, perpendicular, tangent, fix, vertical, horizontal)

7. IED Example 4 Point Scale – Level 4
Level 4 – Inferences that go beyond what was taught
Demonstrated, but not expected to proficient
Creative, above the expectation, just exposed to

8. IED Example 4 Point Scale – Level 2
Level 2 – No major errors in simple details, but major errors in complex ideas
Student still needs more practice

9. IED Example 4 Point Scale – Level 1
Level 1 – With help, partial understanding
Student still needs teacher help & student practice

10. Learning Goals - CEA
CEA Big Idea Architectural Design

11. 4 Point Scale – Level 3 CEA Example
Level 3 = Meeting Expectations
Begin here wanting every student to be here
CEA Learning Goal 1: “Students will be able to produce a professional, well organized residential design project.”
Title Page w/ a 3d exterior rendering, accurate table of contents, and Arhcitectural Program are all organized and bound in a professional manner, similar to the example.

12. CEA Example 4 Point Scale – Level 4
Level 4 – Inferences that go beyond what was taught
Demonstrated, but not expected to proficient
Creative, above the expectation, just exposed to

13. CEA Example 4 Point Scale – Level 2
Level 2 – No major errors in simple details, but major errors in complex ideas
Student still needs more practice

14. CEA Example 4 Point Scale – Level 1
Level 1 – With help, partial understanding
Student still needs teacher help & student practice

15. Common Assessments Multiple Teachers, Same Class Consistent Classrooms
Analyze Student Data
Teacher Collaboration
