The document discusses the second stage of assessment which is determining acceptable evidence of student learning, such as how teachers will know if students have achieved desired results and standards. It explains that teachers should think about what types of assessment evidence is needed to show students have achieved the goals outlined in stage 1. The document also provides examples of how students can demonstrate their understanding through explanation, interpretation, application, perspective, empathy, and self-knowledge.

Stage 2.Determine Acceptable Evidence.
In the second stage we consider evidence of learning.
How will we know that students have achieved the desired
results and met content standards?
How will we know that students really understand the
identified big ideas?
What will we accept as evidence of proficiency?
The backward design orientation suggests that we think about
our design in terms of the collected assessment evidence
needed to document and validate that the desired results of
Stage 1 have been achieved.
7. Explanation
As Dewey (1933) explained, to understand something in this sense
is to see it in its relations to other things;
to note how it operates and functions
what consequences follow from it
what causes it
We go beyond the information given to make
inferences, connections and associations- a theory
that works.
We need to explain why our answer is correct, why the
fact exists, why the formula works; we need to supply
support for our opinions.
When assessing, we look for good explanations from students,
calling upon them to reveal their understanding by using
such verbs as support, justify, generalize, predict, verify, prove
and substantiate.
When students truly understand an idea, they -
Can explain: provide thorough, supported and
justifiable accounts of phenomena
8. A student provides a well
supported view of the
economic and political
situation of the country
10. Interpretation
Can interpret: tell meaningful stories; offer apt
translations, provide revealing historical or
personal dimension to ideas and events through
images, anecdotes, analogies, models
When students truly understand an idea, they -
11. A student writes a
story about the
diligence of ants to
show value of saving
for the rainy days.
13. Application
Application of understanding is thus a context-
dependent skill, requiring the use of new
problems and diverse situations in assessment.
Bloom (1981)
When students truly understand an idea, they
Can apply: effectively use and adapt what is
known in new situations and diverse contexts
14. A student applies his
knowledge of statistics to
accurately project next
years costs and needs
for his school supplies
16. Perspective
Have perspective: see and hear points of view
through critical eyes and ears; see the picture
When students truly understand an idea, they
17. A 12 year old girl
recognizes in TV
advertising the fallacy
of using popular figures
to promote beauty
products
19. Empathy
Can empathize: find value in what others might
find odd, alien or implausible, get inside another
persons feelings and world view
When students truly understand an idea, they
20. Imagine you are Juliet in the
story of Romeo and Juliet.
Write your thoughts and
feelings why you have to
take the desperate action.
22. Self-knowledge
Have self-knowledge: perceive the personal
style, prejudices and habits of mind that both
shape and impede our own understanding; we
are aware of what we do not understand and
why understanding is so hard.
When students truly understand an idea, they
23. Mindful of the fact that
many students are
visual learners, a high
school teacher
deliberately includes
more visual organizers
in his teaching
24. When students truly understand an
idea, they
Can apply: effectively use and adapt what is known
in new situations and diverse contexts
Have perspective: see and hear points of view
through critical eyes and ears; see the picture
25. When students truly understand an
idea, they
Can empathize: find value in what others might find
odd, alien or implausible, get inside another persons
feelings and world view

impede our own understanding; we are aware of what
we do not understand and why understanding is so
hard.

36. Arroyo to fight RH bill, says
Pampanga bishop
MANILA, PhilippinesThe Catholic Church has found an ally in former president Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo in its fight to stop the distribution of artificial contraceptives to poor
Filipinos.
Pampanga Archbishop Paciano Aniceto said Arroyo and the province's three other
congressmen have expressed to him their opposition to the reproductive health bill.
Aniceto said Arroyo has also co-authored House Bill 13 to "protect the life of the unborn."
"She's the co-author of House Bill 13 which is against the RH bill. The former president
listened to the Church and she followed the teaching of the Church and I do believe that she
will continue the same stand and the same advocacy," he said.
But Aniceto said that the Church was finding it harder now to convince Congress to scrap the
RH bill after successfully lobbying against it in the last Congress.
He said that besides the "money being given by the pharmaceuticals," the apparent decision
of the Liberal Party in Congress to support the RH bill was proving to be harder to crack.
"It's harder.... Of course, this is political and who holds the funding of the government, you
will ally yourselves to them. Otherwise, you will not have appropriations for your projects,"
Aniceto said.
But he said the bishops were now talking to their congressmen to try to win them over to the
Church's side.
"Most of these are Catholics, so we will engage them in a dialogue. If every bishop will talk to
his congressman and senator, we will be successful like in the last Congress. But this (time it)
is harder," Aniceto said.
