The “F” Word and The “S” Word

Frameworks are the underlying structure of things. In education we build curriculum from them, but how? We build them with standards and verbs! Many examples of online and paper-based forms and techniques are shared in this presentation / discussion.

Identifying Standards

Building a Quality CTE System with Verbs!

1. Identify Standards
   • OSPI frameworks
   • 21st Century Skills
2. Group Concepts
   • Batch together complimentary skills
3. Build Units by Verbs
   • Sort by verbs
   • Separate thinking and doing into different units
     • Thinking = Knowledge
     • Doing = Understanding
     • Diet example
       • Knowing I should eat healthing demonstrates knowledge
       • Actually eating healthy demonstrates understanding
   • Dive deeper with Blooms Verbs
     • Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy Keywords and Teaching Strategies
4. Sequence Units
   • What skills sequence well for building a diverse skill base for problem solving and creating?
5. Decide on Outcomes
   • Thinking / Knowledge
     • Quiz or Test
       • Quizlet.com
       • Nameless quiz process
         • Quiz assessment
       • Create & grade quizzes with Google Forms
         • Check out Scott’s presentation Assessments that Score Themselves
     • Observation
       • Checklist and notetaking
         • I use a print out of students pictures and write under their image
     • Conversation
       • Check for terms usage and further concept understanding
     • Presentation
       • Presentation Slam instructions
         • We use the slam to develop presentations of terms and concepts to Thinking / Knowledge content
         • Presentation Slam Form (PDF)
       • Presentation Directions Blog Post
         • Made to Stick S.U.C.C.E.S.s Model Form
   • Doing / Understanding
     • Performance
     • Project
6. Establish Quality – Skills Checklists
   • Sample Checksheet (Melody Project)
   • Teamwork Forms
     • create-successful-teams
   • Shape / and personality traites based on Psychogeometrics
   • Easy to read Shape Definitions
7. Establish Quality – Rubrics
   • Tony Wagner discusses leadership skills and the new 4 C’s
   • Self-regulation Rubric Google Form for students to self assess
   • Pick the math, reading, writing, art, science, and other skills to be integrated strategically with the help of the content specific instructors
     • I believe that CTE programs should have the help of math, science, art, English, other content experts to help with integrating these specific skills
       • Bribe them with food, chocolate, yummy drinks, etc.
     • Once skills have been selected use Bloom’s verbs to build rubrics
   • Examine verbs in the frameworks
     • Scott’s sample Rock class schedule
   • Have students help build rubrics with Google Forms with the verbs
     • Scott’s sample rubric builder
     • Examine the model questions using Bloom’s verbs
8. Apply Quality
   • Decide what rubrics to use for each unit
     • Be careful to only assess the quality that is directly related to your standards
     • Less is more
9. Construct Project Feedback Process
   • Scott uses feedback forms
     • Film Bootcamp Forms
     • Film Project Documents
     • Sample Feedback Form
       • Generic Project PDF
       • Blank Template in Word
     • Examples
       • Seeing Photographically feedback form and blog post
       • Rhythm Project with links to student samples
         • Scott listens to the blog post text and walks around his classroom to relieve strain on eyes and feed his Fitbit
10. Establish Portfolios
    • Introduce blogs as portfolios
      • Portfolio ideas
    • Read about the state of educational blogging at the TheEdublogger
    • Use WordPress-based with Edublogs.org (freemium)
    • Examine Scott’s Social Media Contract
    • Organize all portfolio sites with Feedly.com (freemium)
