Document Summary
Improve student learning, improve instruction and planning, measure and evaluate student achievement, provide information for student placement, offer valid and reliable measurement, communicate results in a way that is understandable and meaningful, and assess the effectiveness of school programming. The knowledge that you need to complete something. Knowledge that has a purpose to the outcome. Having to memorize the states and their capitals in alphabetical order is not purposeful knowledge. Having a surgeon know about medication to treat a patient and basic anatomy is purposeful knowledge because it helps them do their job. To get the big idea and develop the skills and competencies, students must possess a knowledge base, make connections and appreciate perspectives. Focus on broader understandings or source based questions to test the big idea. Open ended writing assignments allow students to best demonstrate their understanding of big ideas.
