Backward Design Stages   Action steps to refocus the conversation and re-vision an ELA  program.
  Stage 1 Identify Desired Results What enduring understandings are desired? What should students know, understand, and be able to do? What is worth understanding?         Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence of Learning How will we know if students have achieved the desired results and met the standards?  What will we accept as evidence of student understanding and proficiency?       Stage 3 Design Learning Experiences               Instruction                                 __Set the vision.  Focus on the big ideas. __Create a shared vision. __Departmental activities to focus on __Enduring Understandings __Standards (national, state, district) __Essential Questions       __Determine how students demonstrate their knowledge. __Focus on assessment before designing the learning activities. __Expand the assessment continuum.     __Plan instructional activities. __Share best practice. __Build in collaboration. __Ensure success for all learners.
