Overview
Built on Bloom’s Taxonomy, this resource helps middle and high school teachers write measurable, standards-based lesson plan objectives and develop assessments in the content areas.
Synopsis
While today's curriculum is largely driven by standards, many teachers find the lack of specificity in the standards to be confounding and even intimidating. Now this practical book provides middle and high school teachers with explicit guidance on designing specific objectives and developing appropriate formative and summative assessments to guide instruction.
The authors present an accessible model for developing unit and daily lesson plan objectives based on state and national content standards. Providing detailed examples for each level of Bloom's Taxonomy, including synthesis and evaluation, Designing Middle and High School Instruction and Assessment covers the major forms of assesment that allow teachers to measure students' understanding and mastery of the objectives. Teachers will learn how to
Unwrap state and national standards
Understand how objectives and test items provide evidence of a particular level of knowledge
Write measurable objectives for unit and daily lesson plans
Develop appropriate assessments in the content areas
This easy-to-follow resources gives teachers the tools to write specific, standards-based objectives and find the perfect assessments to measure their students' progress!
