What is Backward
    Design?
What is Backward
            Design?

•   The Backward Design model centers on the idea that
    the design process should begin with identifying the
    desired results and then "work backwards" to develop
    instruction.

3 Stages of Backward
       Design
3 Stages of Backward
         Design
1. Identify desired    What will the students know,
results                understand and will be able
                       to do?

2. Determine acceptable How will the students know
evidence of learning    when they have reached the
                        goals?


3. Plan learning       What do I need to do in the
experiences and        classroom to prepare them
instruction            for the assessment?

What is an Integrated
Performance Assessment?
What is an Integrated
Performance Assessment?
• The IPA begins when learners are asked to
  acquire information through an Interpretive
  Mode task.

• Then, learners react to that information by
  interacting with others through the
  Interpersonal Mode.

• Finally, learners create a product in the
  Presentational Mode that incorporates
  information acquired through the other two
  modes.

         interpretive questions to assess comprehension.
         The teacher provides students with feedback on

  • 10. What is Backward Design?
  • 11. What is Backward Design? • The Backward Design model centers on the idea that the design process should begin with identifying the desired results and then "work backwards" to develop instruction.
  • 12. What is Backward Design? • The Backward Design model centers on the idea that the design process should begin with identifying the desired results and then "work backwards" to develop instruction. • “Keep the end in mind”
  • 13. What is Backward Design? • The Backward Design model centers on the idea that the design process should begin with identifying the desired results and then "work backwards" to develop instruction. • “Keep the end in mind” • The framework identifies three main stages:
  • 14. 3 Stages of Backward Design
  • 15. 3 Stages of Backward Design 1. Identify desired What will the students know, results understand and will be able to do? 2. Determine acceptable How will the students know evidence of learning when they have reached the goals? 3. Plan learning What do I need to do in the experiences and classroom to prepare them instruction for the assessment?
  • 16. Stage 1 - Identify Desired Results
  • 17. Stage 1 - Identify Desired Results • What relevant goals (content standards, objectives, learning outcomes, knowledge, skills) will this unit address?
  • 18. Stage 1 - Identify Desired Results • What relevant goals (content standards, objectives, learning outcomes, knowledge, skills) will this unit address? • What is worth learning?
  • 19. Stage 1 - Identify Desired Results • What relevant goals (content standards, objectives, learning outcomes, knowledge, skills) will this unit address? • What is worth learning? • What do students want to learn?
  • 20. Stage 1 - Identify Desired Results • What relevant goals (content standards, objectives, learning outcomes, knowledge, skills) will this unit address? • What is worth learning? • What do students want to learn? • What is relevant?
  • 21. Stage 2 - Determine Evidence of Learning
  • 22. Stage 2 - Determine Evidence of Learning • How will we know if students have achieved the desired results and met the standards?
  • 23. Stage 2 - Determine Evidence of Learning • How will we know if students have achieved the desired results and met the standards? • What types of assessments do we design?
  • 24. Stage 2 - Determine Evidence of Learning • How will we know if students have achieved the desired results and met the standards? • What types of assessments do we design?

  • 28. Stage 3 - Plan Learning Experiences and Instruction • What learning experiences, instructional strategies, activities, etc., will enable students to achieve the desired results? • What needs to be taught and how?
  • 32. Interpretive Mode • One-way • Comprehension of words, concepts, ideas, meaning of an entire piece • Exposed to lots of culturally authentic materials such as text, films, works of art, songs, poems, music videos, advertisements, etc.
  • 34. Sample Interpretive Tasks • listen with visuals • follow a route on a map • check-off items on a list when watching a video • draw what is described • use Twitter (or other social media) with class • create questions from a brochure, reading, etc. • brainstorm or guess meaning from a song • paraphrase a new article in native language • listen to a song and fill in words • take a poll after listening to a passage

  • 53. What is an Integrated Performance Assessment?
  • 54. What is an Integrated Performance Assessment? • The IPA begins when learners are asked to acquire information through an Interpretive Mode task. • Then, learners react to that information by interacting with others through the Interpersonal Mode. • Finally, learners create a product in the Presentational Mode that incorporates information acquired through the other two modes.
