title: Alignment of Standards to
Assessments
My Major in this class is: Master of Communication with emphasis
on Education
=====================================================================
Every content area that is taught in higher education has a
Specialized Professional Association (SPA) that produces standards that should
be taught. Find the SPA for your content area. Some examples are NCTE
(English), NCTM (Mathematics), ILA (Reading), NCSS (Social Studies/History),
and NSTA (Science). Once you have located your SPA, find the most recent
standards the association has written for initial licensure programs. Review
the standards and choose one.
Using the standard you chose, write an objective that students
could accomplish in order to meet that standard. Objectives have three parts:
behavior, condition, and criterion. The behavior is what students will be able
to do and is derived directly from the standard. The condition is how the
students will do it, typically some type of activity. The criterion is the
degree of accuracy you would like to observe.
Finally, in 250-500
words, describe the assessment you would use to measure whether or not
the students achieved the objective and mastered the standard. This should be
on one document. Your paper should include:
1.
Standard (from the SPA)
2.
Objective
3.
Assessment
APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
