What surprised you? Do you think the results would be different if you had selected a different course or learning event as your focus? Would you re-think your Teaching Role (Q 53) selection given your cluster scores? How do your TGI results mesh with the goals and outcomes stated in your syllabus? Page 26 of 78

Session II: Aligning Goals and Outcomes with Learning Activities Image created by V. S. Towne using Wordle.net Page 29 of 78

Objective: • Objective: Using their analysis of their completed TGI in conjunction with specific course reference materials, participants will be able to create in writing one or more assessable goals and a related assessable question for a specific class or learning activity that are aligned with an identified teaching goal. Page 30 of 78

Instructional Goal: – What Teachers Think Students Should Learn. “I want students to learn ___________________.” This generally goes beyond “covering the content” Page 31 of 78

Learning Outcome: – What Students Should be Able to do with what they have learned. “I want students to be able to __________________” This generally goes beyond “reciting facts and figures” Page 32 of 78

Assessable question: – The focus question about student learning and the related outcome or goal that is so limited in scope and narrow, it is answered with the results of one Classroom Assessment Technique activity. Page 33 of 78

The CAT 21 activity helped me to zero in on potential CATs to meet my needs. You should still be connected to our Poll feature if not, Text VSTOWNE to 37607 once to join, then text • “A” if you Agree • “B” if you Disagree and • “C” if you are Not sure or Neutral . Page 52 of 78

This activity made me think of ways I could use CAT 21 in my own practice. Send a Text to 37607 : • “A” if you Agree • “B” if you Disagree and • “C” if you are Not sure or Neutral. Page 53 of 78

• Focus on what a successful outcome would provide • The assessment reinforces the content coverage and previews the summative evaluation • The assessment is crafted to provide information the learners and the teacher can use to make improvements and fill gaps • Assessment occurs BEFORE learners are tested or evaluated • Keep the CAT short, simple and clear Page 57 of 78
