yes

What is a needs assessment?

Process through which people evaluate aspects of their health and use the results to determine current areas of strength and areas in need of improvement

Functional information is usable, applicable, and relevant. In addition, functional information will provide what for skill development?

Provides the context in which the skills are taught and becomes the basis for students to develop functional knowledge

exemplars

Samples of previously completed work that show students what high scoring assignments look ilke

Functional knowledge.

When functional information is learned and internalized,

Analytic rubric

Which type of rubric weights each item individually?

Will assessment results affect the teacher practice in the classroom?

Yes

assessments should measure

achievement of objectives.

In the curriculum design process,

all topics should provide the context for the students to apply the skill cues and thus result in skill development.

You want to match topics and themes providing the context for students to

apply the skill cues and thus result in skill development.

formative assessments-

assessment for learning, provides students with the feedback they need to work toward achieving learning objectives

Competency Proficiency Mastery

3 main levels of skill performance?

The socioecological model

A model that examines the role of various sectors of society that can influence public health problems.

not the same

A teacher who is teaching self-management should use the same or not the same functional information regardless of the community in which the teacher is instructing.

Most important step is knowing your students and the community first. Important why?

A well developed curriculum can fall short if you do not know your students and their community because it might not be appropriate for the audience or relevant

benchmark assessments

After goals are identified, one needs to determine at which point the goals will be measured (benchmark) and how the measurement will occur (assessment). They aid in tracking student knowledge and skill development, provide information for teachers and administrators to make adjustments to curriculum if assessments are not showing appropriate growth.

backward design

Begins with student outcomes

4 parts of the curriculum development process

Development, implementation, evaluation, revision

culture, parent and family norms, background of origin, acceptance of risk taking behaviors

Examples of community-level data useful in teaching:

Assessing student learning is important because

It determines how well students are able to perform based on a specific set of criteria

When designing curriculum units scope and sequence is important. I

It may already be set by the district.

Teacher-directed feedback Student feedback Self-monitored feedback

What are the different types of feedback?

8 steps of curriculum development

1. Get to know the students and the community 2. Formulate goals 3. Design benchmark assessments 4. Determine the health topics, functional information, and skills 5. Create a scope and sequence 6. Develop unit plan objectives and outcomes 7. Develop unit assessments 8. Create lesson plans

Holistic rubric

What assessment should be used to score performance tasks?

When considering your health education goals, you should be consistent with the length of the curriculum as well as consider your community by looking at what the overall needs.

Summative assessments-

assessments of learning, at the end of the unit used to ensure the extent to which students can demonstrate unit objectives

Reliability

refers to the level of consistency of results from an instrument or assessment.

What is scope and sequence as it relates to health education?

Scope and sequence outlines what content is being covered and when it is covered; a way to organize your curriculum so that you know what you are teaching (scope) and when you are teaching it (sequence)

Validity

refers to the extent to which an instrument actually measures what is intended to be measured.

When determining functional information and health topics for your curriculum, it is important to consider (all)

students/community needs, examine district goals/outcomes, state-level standards/frameworks, and national standards/frameworks.
