  5. FORETHOUGHT Sneak Peek

  6. What is An aligned curriculum system?

  7. Forethought:a common lesson planning template Planning for Learning MISCONCEPTIONS

  8. Collaboration and creativity will be encouraged. • 1. This new system is going to take away all of my creativity. Forethought will provide teachers an easier way to access lessons that have proven successful. • 2. I am not going to be able to use any of the lessons that I have created over the years. Teachers still have the autonomy to determine the most appropriate way to present the content to students. • 3. I am going to have to say and do exactly what every other teacher in the district will be doing.

  9. Forethought is designed with the teacher in mind. The standards, unit maps, student data, resources, assessments and other components of lesson design are right at your fingertips. • 4. This new system is going to make lesson planning very difficult. It is assumed that you would stay relatively close to the pace so that your students would arrive at the finish line at the appropriate time. However, there is no expectation that every teacher in the same content area will be on the same page on the same day. • 5. I am not going to be able to move ahead or fall behind even one day with this new system. • 6. I am going to have a very limited number of resources to use with this new system. All of the resources that are currently included in CCO will be available in Forethought. The system is intuitive and very user-friendly. Even the least tech-savvy among BISD teachers will easily be able to maneuver through the entire system. • 7. I am going to have to be very tech savvy to navigate this new system.

  14. Planning for Teaching FRONTWARD DESIGN = LOOSELY ALIGNED The Teacher…

  15. Planning for learning BACKWARD DESIGN = DEEP ALIGNMENT The Teacher… Look at the end result first. Then decide how students will provide evidence of their learning, and finally design instructional activities to help kids learn what is needed to be successful.

  16. Not aligned to Standards/Student Performance Objectives • Emphasis is on the teacher and teaching, not the standard and what student should know and be able to do. • Planning for Learning is: • BACKWARD DESIGN • Teacher: • Studies the Standards for assessment and performance requirements • Plans the formative and summative assessment • Designs lessons with the end result in mind. • a Results Orientation • Planning for TEACHING is: • FRONTWARD DESIGN • Teacher: • Chooses Topic • Plans Lessons • Plans Assessment at the end of Unit. • a Methodology Orientation • Deeply aligned to curriculum • Based upon what students need to know and be able to do • Emphasis is on what students are doing to meet the performance standards (formative and summative assessments) instead of what the teacher is doing
