This module has helped me think about using standards, CFQ’s, or formative assessments in various ways. Standards have always been a part of my classroom instruction, including undergraduate work so I guess you could say “I don’t know how to teach without standards”. I see them as guiding my instruction so I know what needs to be covered at a certain grade level. Formative assessments fall into that same category of I have always used them. However, with formative assessments I am not as confident in my design and so always looking for new ways to formally assess students especially during instruction so I can monitor and adjust as needed. Curriculum framing questions are a concept that I don’t have as much experience with. I think that they are a great way to help write a unit when they are based around the standards. I see CFQ’s as also assisting students because it gives them guiding questions about the topics they are going to cover during a unit. Sometimes the essential question seems to broad. But the Unit questions and the content questions are a great place to plan the bulk of the unit from. Standards, CFQ’s and assessments all work hand in hand to help teachers guide instruction to make it more meaningful for students.
