Description

Assessment Alignment Diagnostic (Pair/Group - 60 mins).

Task: Provide groups of 3 with three different "Curriculum Scenarios":

Scenario A (Perfect Alignment),

Scenario B (Misaligned Assessment), and

Scenario C (Misaligned Instruction).

Pair (40 mins): Students in breakout rooms collaboratively analyze their assigned scenario.

  • They use a shared Google Doc template to identify the intended learning outcome (Stage 1), the assessment method (Stage 2), and the proposed instructional activities (Stage 3).
  • They must diagnose the alignment flaw (if any) and propose a solution to fix it.

Group Review (20 mins): Each pair posts a 1-sentence summary of their diagnosis and solution to the main chat. The instructor facilitates a brief discussion on how a teacher's assessment literacy directly impacts instructional planning.
