module 5 - Designing Equitable 3D Assessment Tasks

Module 5 - Designing Equitable 3D Assessment Tasks helps educators learn about and engage in a multi-step process to develop a 3D assessment task that can be used in a classroom setting. Using a backwards design approach, they use identified assessment targets to design a sensemaking task where students demonstrate their understanding of a phenomenon/problem. The task to be designed includes a carefully constructed scenario and series of prompts to guide students as they engage in sensemaking using the three dimensions of NGSS. Peer feedback protocols are used throughout the process to help improve the designed task.

Module 5 consists of 7 sessions:

  • Session 5.0 - The Assessment Task Design Cycle
  • Session 5.1 - Phase 1 - Get Started
  • Session 5.2 - Phase 2 - Establish Clear Assessment Targets
  • Session 5.3 - Phase 3 - Craft the Scenario
  • Session 5.4 - Phase 4 - Write the Task Storyline form the Student Perspective
  • Session 5.5 - Phase 5 - Test and Revise the Task
  • Session 5.6 - Phase 6 - Create Guidance Tools
