Backward Design for Forward Action

Backward Design for Forward Action

Jay McTighe and Ronald S. Thomas

3 Stages of Backward Design
1. Identify Desired Results
- Students understanding of the key ideas embedded in the content standards - the focus
- creates meaningful learning

2. Analyze Multiple Sources of Data
- apply their learning to new situations
- performance based assessments
- analyze student work collected over time
- write Data Summaries
-- indicate long-term trends
-- use multiple data sources
-- describe disaggregated results

3. Determine Appropriate Action Plans
- Alignment of standards - assessment - instruction
- skill levels of staff
- how do staff demonstrate high expectations

What is standards-based grading?
