SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Classifies curriculum content into Know, Understand, and Do categories and provides correct assessment routing, enabling planners to design coherent, evidence-based units.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Produces a complete Know/Understand/Do chart with Hierarchical, Horizontal, and Dispositional knowledge types
  • Explicitly splits the Do column into Skills and Dispositions
  • Routes each element to the appropriate assessment method (auto-assessment for hierarchical elements; teacher judgment for horizontal elements; multi-informant observation and coaching for dispositions)
  • Supports gap analysis against existing Learning Targets and sequencing notes to map prerequisites
  • Flags compound or unassessable elements and surfaces design flags for robust assessment design

Quick Start

Provide the curriculum input and learner stage, then run the KUD mapper to generate the full chart and routing plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a KUD chart with correct assessment routing for curriculum design?

To build a KUD chart, provide your curriculum input and learner stage. The mapper applies hierarchical, horizontal, and dispositional knowledge types to each element, splits the Do column into skills and dispositions, and routes assessments accordingly.

What is the difference between hierarchical, horizontal, and dispositional knowledge types in a KUD framework?

Hierarchical knowledge routes to auto-assessment, horizontal knowledge requires teacher judgment, and dispositional knowledge uses multi-informant observation and coaching. These classifications ensure each curriculum element is paired with the correct evidence-based assessment approach.

How does backwards design split the Do column into skills and dispositions for assessment planning?

Backwards design splits the Do column by explicitly separating actionable skills from behavioral dispositions. This distinction allows skills to route to standard assessments while dispositions receive a dedicated multi-informant observation and coaching assessment plan.

Can I run a gap analysis on existing Learning Targets using a KUD knowledge type mapper?

Yes, you can run a gap analysis against existing Learning Targets. The mapper compares your provided curriculum input with current targets to identify missing elements, map prerequisites, and generate sequencing notes for coherent unit design.

How are compound or unassessable curriculum elements flagged during KUD chart generation?

The mapper flags compound or unassessable curriculum elements during generation. It surfaces explicit design flags directly within the annotated KUD chart to alert planners of elements that require robust assessment design modifications or further decomposition.

What curriculum input and learner stage information do I need to generate a knowledge-typed KUD chart?

You need to provide your raw curriculum content input and the designated learner stage. These two inputs drive the application of Bernstein's knowledge types to each Know, Understand, and Do element, producing a fully annotated chart with assessment routes.
