Verbs associated with different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy are provided. The document also discusses linking learning outcomes to teaching and learning activities as well as assessment, providing examples of how to align the three. Overall, the document offers guidance on conceptualizing and implementing a learning outcomes approach in an educational context.
ECIS Standards-Based Assessment Pre-ConferenceSue Williams
Here are a few responses from the group using the consultative protocol:
On making it a priority:
- Start small by focusing on one subject area or grade level at a time. Make incremental progress rather than trying to overhaul everything at once.
- Emphasize how clear standards and assessments can benefit teaching and learning rather than seeing it as extra work. Frame it as improving instruction.
- Get administrator buy-in and support to help prioritize the work.
On school leadership:
- Strong, clear communication from leadership on the goals and importance of standards-based grading helps set expectations and priorities.
- Consistency between what leadership says is important and how time/resources are allocated is key. Actions
Rubrics for Educational Assessment.pptxshaziazamir1
Rubric is "a scoring guide used to evaluate the quality of students' constructed responses". Put simply, it is a set of criteria for grading assignments.
The document discusses intended learning outcomes and student assessment. It defines intended learning outcomes as statements describing what students know, understand and can do as a result of their learning experiences. It provides examples of learning outcomes related to communication skills, research skills and ethics. It also discusses how to write learning outcomes using verbs that describe observable and measurable behaviors and aligning outcomes with courses, programs and institutions.
This document outlines the learning activities and objectives for a field study assessing learning in different levels. The student will observe classes in various subject areas and levels, analyze learning outcomes and assessments, and reflect on how well assessments are aligned with objectives. The goal is to classify objectives and determine if assessments match the cognitive level of the stated outcomes based on Bloom's, Kendall's, and Marzano's taxonomies.
Discusses the facets of Performance Assessment: Definition, advantages and disadvantages, types, process, guidelines and procedures and the types of rubrics
This document discusses the backward design model for developing standards-based curriculum. It begins by outlining problems with traditional curriculum design such as students not developing a deep understanding. The backward design process involves 3 stages: 1) Identifying desired results and priorities, 2) Determining acceptable evidence of student understanding, and 3) Planning learning experiences to achieve goals. Key aspects include focusing on enduring understandings, using authentic assessments, and incorporating research-based teaching strategies to promote student understanding. The overall approach emphasizes starting with the end goals in mind and designing curriculum backwards from there.
Objectives provide a roadmap for planning instruction and assessment. They ensure learning is assessed at all levels from basic knowledge to higher-order thinking. Objectives should be measurable, specific, and focus learning on complex skills over rote memorization. Bloom's Taxonomy categorizes objectives from simple recall to complex evaluation and is useful for aligning objectives, instruction, and assessment. When developing assessments, teachers should consider item type, difficulty level, testing conditions, and directions to obtain a valid measure of student learning.
The backward design model comprises three stages:
I. Identify desired results
II. Determine acceptable evidence
III. Plan learning experiences and instruction. Once desired results and evidence are determined, a lesson plan can be developed to help students reach the objectives. Wiggins and McTighe's "WHERE" approach is used in planning instruction and experiences.
2 Writing Behavioral Objectives Taxonomy of educational objectives (2).pdfHafiz20006
This document provides information on writing behavioral objectives according to Bloom's Taxonomy. It discusses the domains of learning - cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The cognitive domain focuses on knowledge and thinking skills. Bloom's Taxonomy outlines six levels of complexity within this domain from basic recall to higher-order thinking. The affective domain addresses attitudes and values. The psychomotor domain involves physical skills ranging from reflexes to complex coordinated movements. Guidelines are provided for writing clear, measurable behavioral objectives using action verbs from each domain.
Assessment Task 1 Leadership Development ReportThis assessmen.docxdavezstarr61655
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
This assessment task is a REPORT.
This requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in different disciplines and geographical locations.
HARVARD REFERENCING is required.
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to write about something listed in the rubric, you’ll lose marks.
So the rubric is like a “contract” between you and your lecturer. Following the rubric clearly is your best strategy for a good result
THE TASK
1. Explore the Central Michigan University competencies model (5 clusters eg. Self-Management, Leading others, Task management, Innovation and Social Responsibility)
2. Identify your current strengths and weaknesses as a leader (or potential leader) within the context of the CMU (eg. Create a clear vision of yourself in approx. 5-10 years time – only then will you be able to identify your strengths and weaknesses)
3. Review the leadership theories explored in this course and describe how they relate to you and your leadership development (again in the context of the CMU model eg. Blake and Mouton model grid)
4. Create a leadership development plan (*Starting point – Acti.

In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to write about something listed in the rubric, you’ll lose marks.
So the rubric is like a “contract” between you and your lecturer. Following the rubric clearly is your best strategy for a good result
THE TASK
1. Explore the Central Michigan University competencies model (5 clusters eg. Self-Management, Leading others, Task management, Innovation and Social Responsibility)
2. Identify your current strengths and weaknesses as a leader (or potential leader) within the context of the CMU (eg. Create a clear vision of yourself in approx. 5-10 years time – only then will you be able to identify your strengths and weaknesses)
3. Review the leadership theories explored in this course and describe how they relate to you and your leadership development (again in the context of the CMU model eg. Blake and Mouton model grid)
4. Create a leadership development plan (*Starting point – Acti ...
The document discusses instructional goals, objectives, and learning outcomes. It defines goals as broad expectations, while objectives are more specific and measurable statements of what students will be able to do. Objectives should be student-focused, observable, and measurable. The document provides examples and guidelines for writing effective objectives using Mager's format and the ABCD method. It also discusses using Bloom's taxonomies to state cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and social domain objectives at different levels of complexity. The purpose of clear objectives is to focus instruction, guide assessment, and ensure all learning outcomes are evaluated.
The document discusses issues with language assessment tests and more constructive ways of testing. Some key points:
- Tests were previously misused as punishment or the only grading measure without reflecting what was taught.
- A more constructive approach sees testing as teacher-student interaction, judges students on their knowledge, aims to improve skills, and has clear criteria.
- The summary highlights some of the constructive principles discussed in the document for better language assessment.
Intended Learning Outcome for improving the Quality of higher EducationMd. Nazrul Islam
A Programme defines study or learning required to achieve an award or qualification
A Programme Specification is required by the QAA for each award or qualification and defines the threshold learning outcomes for the programme
A Programme comprises a number of modules each of which is separately assessed and earns credit when successfully completed
Using the outcomes model each Module Description defines the intended (threshold?) learning outcomes, the syllabus coverage and the assessment methods and criteria for the module.
Achievement of Module Learning Outcome should contribute to a student’s satisfaction with the programme learning outcomes
The students of the HEIs will be able to design their learning outcomes and the faculties will be able to improve the respective curriculum design and review by this procedure and at the same time, the standard of the question will also be improved.

Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

What do we mean by academic levels
1. What do we mean by
academic levels?

2. Comparing FE and HE levels
FE examples
• Level 1 Foundation
• Level 2 GCSE
• Level 3 A level
• Level 4 HNC
• Level 5 HND
HE examples
• Level 3 Access course
• Level 4 First year undergrad
• Level 5 Second year
undergrad
• Level 6 Third year
undergrad
• Level 7 Masters
• Level 8 EdD/PhD
3. Different ways of articulating
levels
• Bloom’s taxonomy – a hierarchy of six
cognitive domains
• Learning Outcomes – verbs which can
express levels of difficulty
• Academic descriptors and assessment
criteria
• Differences between level 5 and 6
assignments
4. Evaluation • Able to make judgements about the relative
value of competing ideas and solutions
• Able to compare, contrast and criticise different
solutions
Synthesis • Solves problems using concepts in an unfamiliar
context
• Able to combine several concepts together to
form a new understanding of a situation
Analysis • Able to break a concept down into its
component parts
• Able to distinguish between fact and inference
• Able to use logical reasoning and deduction to
analyse a situation
Application • Able to apply the concept to an unfamiliar
situation
• Able to create something new using the concept
Understanding • Comprehends meaning
• Able to explain the concept in their own words
• Can answer a ‘worksheet’ or ‘textbook’ question
Knowledge • Recall of simple facts and data.
Bloom’s
taxonomy
5. Bloom’s taxonomy
• One familiar model of teaching is to explain a topic to
the whole class, supplement this with questioning, and
set an individual task – for example, doing one or more
questions from a worksheet or textbook. The teacher
can circulate to check on progress and then lead brief
feedback on the answers before repeating the cycle
with a new topic.
• At first glance this seems effective. There are checks on
learning and time to help individuals. It also appears
time efficient at ‘getting through’ the curriculum.
• However, learners have only climbed the first two rungs
of the ladder. They have successfully completed
relatively simple ‘mastery’ tasks.
• Engineers would say that ‘Application’ is right at the top
of the ladder!
6. Differences between level 5
and 6
• Breadth of focus
• Depth of knowledge
• Levels of criticality
• Applying theories and literature to your
practice
• Variety and breadth of referenced sources
• Language of Learning Outcomes
• Academic descriptors
• Comparisons of Assessment Criteria

a comprehensive knowledge of the
concepts and principles associated
with the module and its specified
learning outcomes
an understanding of key texts and
research findings associated with the
module
ability to relate module content to a
range of contexts in which children
and young people learn
The participant demonstrates:
a systematic understanding of the
knowledge base, concepts and
principles associated with the module
and its specified learning outcomes
a critical understanding of key texts
and research findings associated with
the module
ability to relate module content to a
range of local, regional and/or national
contexts in which people learn
VIEWS AND
ARGUMENT
The participant demonstrates:
a recognition of the limitations of
clearly articulated views associated
with the content of particular
modules
an awareness of the danger of making
assumptions when presenting a range
of views associated with particular
modules
an ability to analyse evidence in a
critical way to inform their own views
The participant demonstrates:
works with ideas at a level of
abstraction, arguing from competing
perspectives associated with the
content of particular modules
confidence and flexibility in identifying
and defining complex problems when
presenting a range of views associated
with particular modules
an ability to analyse and evaluate
evidence in a critical way to inform
their own views
9. Assessment Criteria examples
• Level 5
• evaluate feedback and
prepare an action plan;
• reflect on issues and values
relevant to own
professional role;
• provide evidence of the
importance of inclusive
practice to professional
practice.
• Level 6
• evaluate feedback and
justify an action plan;
• critically reflect on issues
and values relevant to own
professional role in a local
and national context;
• evidence and justify the
importance of inclusive
practice to professional
practice;

and personal development
activities to their learners’
needs
10. Assessment myths
• Myth 1 Institutions create transparency through writing
Learning Outcomes that are so precise and clear that no
one can misunderstand them. Words are not enough to
make things transparent. There is no such thing as a
transparent standard. It is only arrived at through
discussion and negotiation.
• Myth 2 Feedback for improvement is straightforward.
Feedback can be obscure; the ubiquitous praise
sandwich is very difficult for weak students to
understand. It confuses formative and summative
comments.

classifications in franchised university programmes, Journal of Further and Higher
Education 25:3, p301-313
11. Help with judging levels
• Look at moderated exemplars of good, very good
and bad assignments at different levels
• Read, note and reference a variety of sources
• Read formative feedback and make changes
accordingly
• Check that your work meets the assessment
criteria (the way we judge work).
• Keep an eye on the level above which you are
asked to work.
