Some Teachers’ Gripes

• Most students are not motivated at all.• Students easily forget what they learn.• Most students are obsessed with grades, not with

learning.• They want to be told every little thing.• They hate to read.• They don’t ask questions.• They don’t explain. They tend to simply repeat.

What do the following situations suggest?

Situation 1

“When I was in my last year in Grade School, I could memorize very easily and fast and so I became the class valedictorian, but I felt embarrassed later that I understand much less than some other students who cared less about getting good grades.”

Situation 2

“How many buses does the school need to transport 1, 128 students if each bus hold 36 students?”

Almost 1/3 of the 5th graders answered “31 remainder 12”

Situation 3

It is almost at the end of the 4th quarter of the SY, and Ms. Santos hurries up to finish the subject-matter coverage. She needs to catch up fast to comply with the school’s coverage requirement. She switches to lecture-type of lesson presentation to her pupils.

How do standards look like in classroom instruction?

How are they made concrete in classroom instruction?

What are standards?

Standards are established norms or benchmarks for learning that define what students need to know, understand and do.

What is a standard-based classroom instruction?

• Achieve the standard by using the content as the vehicle.• Makes big ideas and enduring understanding act as an

umbrella for the content.• Embeds assessment of the attainment of the standards of

instructional strategies.• Implements standards that are observable and measurable.• Emphasizes on what students will be able to know,

understand and do.• Ensures alignments of instructional plan, assessment and

instructional plan, assessment and instruction with the standards.

• Focuses on helping students meet the standards.• Uses student-centered approach.

What is standards-based assessment?

What is standards-based assessment?

An approach that compares students’ performances to the standards, rather than comparing them with other students.

The measurement of students’ learning performance according to predetermined educational content and performance standards. (Sana Rafiq 2008)

The standards define the skills and knowledge content which will need to be mastered by each student in a certain time frame.

Assessment is aligned to the attainment of the students through the defined skills or competencies.

What is standards-based classroom instruction?

In a standards-based classroom, learning outcomes aligned to content standards are held constant, and all students are expected to attain proficiency in them. Flexibility is provided in the time and support each student’s needs to meet the standard. Teacher follows a cycle of instruction – assessment, planning, instruction, assessment, and re-teaching – so all students meet specific, clearly stated and understood, high academic standards in each content area.
