Module 7
3
Objectives
Participants will be able to answer:• How do we analyze an effective unit or task?
4
Introduction
Discuss:• What would expect to see or hear happening
in an effective unit focused on developing global competencies and college readiness? – What would kids be doing? – What would teachers be doing? – What kind of work would you expect to see?
5
Components of a Unit Design
• Essential Understandings• Essential Questions• Strategies/Skills• Performance Outcomes• Other Outcomes• Assessments• Resources
6
3 Ways to Give and Get Feedback
1. Task Design Checklist2. Annotated Task3. Tuning Protocol

Task Design Checklist
8
Annotated Tasks
• An annotated task gives notes and feedback about how it was designed and where it might be improved
• Annotating your own task can be useful once you have completed it so it can be improved next year
9
How to Annotate a Task or Unit
• Some people like to use highlighter, sticky notes, or track changes on a Word document
• There is no best way, but these steps help:1. Identify why that was originally chosen2. Identify how the students responded3. Make a recommendation to keep, change, or
remove the idea
10
My class needed some affirmation so this was a good focus✪This focus on “story telling” lead to a lot of good discussions about gossiping and perspectiveNext year it will make sense to focus more on perspectives and then jump into the way our societies influence our perspectives, so we can think globally

Sample of an Annotated Unit

Annotate a Task or Unit
• Select a task or unit from your own experience• Pick a method for annotating the task, with
colors, coding, sticky notes, etc.• Follow these easy steps:
1. Identify why that was originally chosen2. Identify how the students responded3. Make a recommendation to keep, change, or
remove the idea
12
Feedback for Others
• The Tuning Protocol provides a way to give warm and cool feedback to colleagues about their work
• Rather than making direct suggestions or trying to “fix” a task or unit, the focus is on inquiry and probing feedback
13
Use the Tuning Protocol
• Review the steps to the Tuning Protocol
• Select a piece of work for the group to discuss
• Using the protocol, have a facilitator lead the group to “tune” the work
14
Classroom Follow-up
• How will we communicate these ideas to the student?– Advisory?– Content area courses?– Schoolwide?
