Backward Design
How would you define it?
ngiseD drawkcaB
4
Backward Design During your team leader program, one of the new program leaders asks for a descripAon of backward
design. What would you say?
ngiseD drawkcaB
Backward design is a method of
designing educaAonal curriculum by seSng goals before choosing instrucAonal methods and
forms of assessment.
5
Backward Design
Plan learning experiences and instrucAon What will prepare learners/parAcipants to demonstrate what they can do
with what they know?
Determine acceptable evidence How will learners/parAcipants demonstrate what they can do with what they know by the end of the
program?
IdenAfy desired results What will learners/parAcipants be able to do with what they know by the end of the program?
6
Narrow your focus. Be realis1c. Consider:
• How experienced/proficient are your learners/parAcipants?
• How much Ame do you have? • What will learners/parAcipants be able to do as a result of the course?
• Is it really possible to teach an enAre method’s course?

“Covering lots of content by lecturing…does not
mean anything other than that your students have been exposed to many ideas; they could not
necessarily use these ideas themselves.”
-‐Robert G. Fuller (1994)

Checking for Learning • What do we mean “checking for learning”?
• How do I know what to check? • When do I use formaAve and summaAve checks for learning?
• What counts as evidence of learning? • How can students check for learning? • How can I give effecAve feedback? • How can I report progress of learning in meaningful ways?
• How can external assessment help in checking for learning?
Site Visit Reports NarraHve • What is working well? • What challenges exist at this Ame? • What professional development opportuniAes did the
program provide for teachers and staff prior to the program? (Student Programs Only)
• What special features of this program may be of interest to other STARTALK programs?
• What recommendaAons are being made for the current year? • What recommendaAons are being made for future years if
the program would be funded?

Students will explore authenAc pracAces and products that relate to traveling to a foreign country. They will make the trip with their family to get to know different regions and to invesAgate endangered animals in that part of the world. Before leaving on the trip, they will make preparaAons. They will learn about the region, its geographical features, climate, and the endangered animals found there. At home in the United States, they will pracAce greeAngs so that they can address people they meet using appropriate register, Atles, courtesy expressions, and gestures. They will get their passport, and they will pack their suitcases. Once they arrive at their locaAon, they will join an expediAon to visit an area where endangered animals live. They will invesAgate the ecology, the animals’ habitats, and the issues that are affecAng their existence. When they return to the United States, they will use their language skills to tell others about the animals, describing the animal, commenAng on where it lives, and giving a simple reason about why the animal is endangered.

INTERPRETIVE
TASK INTERPERSONAL
TASK PRESENTATIONAL
TASK Students listen to descripAons of endangered animals naAve to the region and match the descripAons to corresponding images of the animals. Using the images of the animals, students create a graphic organizer that categorizes the animals based on the type of problem each faces (climate change, people, loss of habitat, etc.).
Students parAcipate in a travel fair. They have images and realia from a region they plan to visit and meet others who are interested in traveling to that region or other areas. Students introduce themselves and exchange some personal informaAon before answering quesAons about where they are going and what they will see and do in a region.
Students compile a box of memorabilia from their trip to the target country. The boxes will be on display in a classroom museum where students will act as docents. When approached by visitors (parents, community members, teachers, classmates, etc.), they will idenAfy the arAfacts and give at least one fact about them.

Required STARTALK Lesson Plan Template for 2015!
Lesson For the purpose of this STARTALK template a lesson is defined as a single learning experience typically lasAng no more than sixty to ninety minutes. Learning experiences occur both in the classroom and/or in other seSngs. Longer blocks of Ame will involve several learning episodes and lesson plans.
Learning Episode For the purpose of this STARTALK template a learning episode is defined as a learning experience that addresses a specific aspect of a learning target or can-‐do statement. Learning episodes typically provide a limited amount of input with Ame allowed for guided and independent pracAce. The amount of Ame alloded for a learning episode is approximately equivalent to the age of the learner and will rarely be more than twenty minutes.
DefiniHons
41
Guiding QuesAons Do the acAviAes in the lesson • give students a reason for needing to/wanAng to pay adenAon and be on task? • provide sufficient opportuniAes for understanding new words before expecAng
producAon? • provide mulAple, varied opportuniAes for students to hear new words/
expressions used in highly visualized contexts that make meaning transparent? • provide students with an authenAc purpose for using words and phrases? • engage all students (as opposed to just one or two students at a Ame)? • vary in the level of intensity and the amount of physical movement required? • make the learner, not the teacher, the acAve parAcipant? • build toward allowing students to demonstrate in meaningful and unrehearsed
ways that they are able to use what they know? • make the best use of instrucAonal Ame to maximize student learning? • take an appropriate amount of Ame considering the age of the learner?
42
Stage 1 What will learners be able to do with what
they know by the end of this lesson?
DO What are the learning targets/can-‐do
statements for this lesson?

47
STAGE 1: What will learners be able to do with what they know by the end of this lesson?
STAGE 2: How will learners demonstrate what they can do with what they know by the end of the lesson?
Learners will view images or freeze frames of the city of Marrakech and the home shown in the video and will be able to give a simple descripAon of the image. They will alternate asking and answering quesAons about those images. Learners will be given different images and will write words and phrases that describe that image in preparaAon for a guessing game the next day.
48
STAGE 3: What will prepare learners to demonstrate what they can do with what they know?
Opening AcHvity How can you capture the students’ energy and commitment for today’s lesson?
Learners view quick clips of Marrakech, Morocco and recycle vocabulary from previous lessons saying what they can say, commenAng on locaAon, size, places, etc. Teacher may elect to give a word bank depending on level of class allowing students to circle words they idenAfy in the video or images.
Learning Episode
The teacher shares a few sentences in Arabic about the video with the class. Some are true, some are false or not in the video. Sample sentences: A big family lives in the house. The family is poor. The house is tradiAonal. Learners will watch the first part of the video seeing the entry, living area, dining area, bathroom, kitchen, stairway and first bedroom. As they watch they consider the sentences. At the end of the video, they mark sentences as true, false or no evidence. Then, they pair to compare their answers with a partner and generate simple sentences to prove or disprove the statements.
