KWL CHART USED FOR ANALYSIS
|
| What I Know | What I Want to Know | What I Learned |
|---|---|---|
| I begin each each course with a PreTest of the content that will be covered during the course | This provides a baseline for each class and assists in customizing course delivery. Each class of students brings their own special needs. | |
| The curriculum maps to the industry certification, listing the objectives that are to be covered in each chapter. | Does the student understand the importance of these objectives in successfully attaining the mapped certification? | |
| Each chapter has a set of lab exercises that apply the objectives to performance-based skills. | Can the student perform the defined skill with accuracy and understanding? | |
| Each section of labs concludes with a small number of lab questions. | Does the student understand why they performed an action, and the impact it had on the network. |
|
| Each new lab builds on the last lab. Failure to follow instructions specifically will lead to flawed outcomes. | Can the student follow instructions? |
|
| Labs are conducted in teams of two students. | How well can students work together to complete lab assignments. How well can students work together to communicate ideas and critically analyze problems. |
|
| Norm-referenced and criterion-referenced assessments are conducted online at the end of each chapter. | Does the student understand the terminology and content necessary to fulfill the objectives? |
|
| Research papers or projects are used to support content knowledge and soft skills. | How well can the student communicate, present and defend an idea. How do I evaluate growth in this area. |
