D184 Objective Assessment COMPREHENSIVE
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
Standards-Based Grading - ✔✔breaking down a subject matter into smaller
"learning objectives" which are recorded in the gradebook Advantages of
Standards-based Grading - ✔✔improved feedback, student ownership of
education, intrinsic motivation, more relevant instruction, accurate measure of
learning Criterion-Referenced Test - ✔✔comparing a person's knowledge or
skills to criterion from a standard Norm-Referenced Test - ✔✔comparing a
person's knowledge or skills to a norm group student-growth percentiles -
✔✔norm-referenced measure that compares a student's gains from one period
to another compared to their academic peers academic peers - ✔✔students in
the same grade with a similar score history standards-referenced -
✔✔standards determine the input (what is taught), and activities and
assessments are aligned but not directly shown in the gradebook Focus
Standards - ✔✔standards rewritten to provide a clear and unequivocal focus
Measurement Topics - ✔✔topics important enough to be assessed multiple
times, expressed as a short phrase or word Declarative standards - ✔✔begin
with "know" or "understand," focuses on content Procedural standards -
✔✔begin with "executes," focuses on performing a skill or cognitive process
Process for identifying standards - ✔✔1. Identify key concepts and skills (nouns
and verbs) 2. Identify Learning Target Types 3. Determine Big Ideas 4. Write
Essential Questions Learning Target types - ✔✔content/knowledge,
reasoning/cognitive, skill/performance, product Steps to Writing Focus

Identify procedural and declarative knowledge 2. Chunk the standard 3.
Unpack foundation targets 4. Create cognitively complex tasks Foundation
target - ✔✔prerequisite knowledge and processes not explicitly stated in the
standards (includes academic vocabulary) covarying topics - ✔✔topics which
overlap or are taught in tandem frequently with the assumption that improving
in one area leads to growth in another (addition and subtraction) Definitional
Declarative Knowledge - ✔✔defining characteristics of something Cognitive
Analysis Declarative Knowledge - ✔✔applying a cognitive skill to a declarative
process Steps for developing a proficiency scale - ✔✔1. Identify taxonomy levels
