Understanding is when students perform effectively with knowledge.
bookpg120 has a good list of essential questions to ask
Topical understandings are unit specific, while overarching understandings relate to the entire course, or maybe even bridge into other courses.
From chapter 7:
- explanation
- explain the big idea in your own words
- interpret
- make sense of ideas
- application
- use one’s knowledge in a new context
- perspective
- articulate things from a different POV
- empathy
- understand the diversity of thought in the world
- self-knowledge
- How does your work show your improvement?
- What task was the most challenging, and why?
- which selection are you most proud of, and why?
