- LLED 320 Timetable (Term 2): I proposed an alteration to the LLED 320 timetable. I’ll confirm that it works for you in next Wednesday’s class
- 2-Week Prac Unit Plan Conference Schedule: We passed around the sign up sheet. Conferences are held with your FA. The goal of this meeting is to help you get your head around your upcoming unit by clarifying your KUD and possible assessment. Please bring your completed KUD table and any ideas you have on how to assess the degree to which your students grasp the KUD
- 2-Week Prac Unit Plan Template: Here is a copy of the unit plan template Dave and I suggest that you use: UBD Unit Plan Template – Nov 11
KUD & Assessment
Rather than give you a long blurb on the connection between KUD and assessment, I thought I’d let you see an example of how results and assessment are connected and let you draw some conclusions from that experience. So, here’s what we did:
- Looked over the handout: KUD, Performance Tasks, and Differentiating Instruction found here: KUD, Performance Tasks, and DI Handout. The example related to a Science unit on weather.
- Considered what KUD students would need to have worked with in order to complete the assessment task.
- Designed another task based on the same KUD that used a different scenario
My goal here was to further clarify your understanding of KUD and show how it’s connected to assessment. More to come on this in next Wednesday’s class.
