  1. The Illinois Standards Incorporating the Common Core Standards Next Steps to Achieving Implementation Presented by Lori Loving and Jan Leonard © 2012, Two Rivers Professional Development Center

  2. To Begin… • Make a name tent (trifold). • On one side put your name and position. • On a second side explain what you have done so far in your buildings to implement the Common Core State Standards • On the third side write any questions you have.

  3. Targets for this Session • Explain the suggested three year implementation plan • Define rigor • Describe ways to increase rigor in the classroom • List resources to support implementation

  4. Three Year Implementation Plan • Year One (2011-2012) • Curriculum Development • Mapping • Matching • Identify gaps with respect to content knowledge • Begin to teach the new standards • Examination of and initial enhancement of rigor levels in the classroom • Identify/begin to implement professional development based on needs • Evaluation of resources, including technology • Presentation to the Board about Common Core • Initial communication to parents/families

  5. Year Two (2012-2013) • Continued enhancement of instructional rigor – professional development where necessary. • Teaching of the new standards • Review of classroom assessment practices. The goal is to move towards more application based/performance assessments. • Integration of technology as relates to the Common Core • Purchase of resources • Communication at a deeper level with parents/families • Consider report card modifications

  6. Year Three (2013-2014) • Full implementation • Aligned operational curriculum • Enhanced instructional rigor • Enhanced level of performance assessments • Ongoing purchase of resources • Use of technology to support standards proficiency • Implementation of standards-based report cards

  7. Year One • Curriculum Development through Matching • Color coding of the standards • Green – “I teach this standard to the performance level stated.” • Yellow – “I teach this standard, but not to the performance level.” • Red – “I don’t teach this standard.” • Also identify what is taught that is not in the standards. Should it be kept in the curriculum? • Horizontal and vertical discussions

  8. Matching Continued • For the standards not currently taught but need to be – • What does this standard mean? • What are the concepts? • What are the performance levels? • How should this standard be taught? What resources are available? • What assistance do I need?

  9. Resources for Matching • The Common Core Standards – www.corestandards.org • Alignment Template (included with this presentation) • ISBE Gap analysis (www.isbe.net)

  10. Curriculum Mapping • 3 columns – content, skills and assessment • Add the standards to the skills column • Internet based programs • Atlas Rubicon • Curriculum Mapper Resource – Heidi Hayes Jacobs – “Mapping the Big Picture;” Susan Udelhofen – “Keys to Curriculum Mapping”

  11. Rigor Defined in the Standards themselves

  12. Rigor • Deep teacher content knowledge • Profile of a literate student (www.corestandards.org ) • Eight Standards of Mathematical Practice (www.corestandards.org) • Increase in text complexity • Increase in student use of higher level thinking/reasoning skills • Increase in real world unpredictable learning situations (problem-solving, application-based)

  13. Rigor in the Classroom • “Creating an environment in which students are expected to learn at high levels • Each student is supported so that he or she can learn at high levels • Each student demonstrates learning at high levels.” Blackburn, Winthrop University

  14. Operational Rigor • Implementing learning models - project-based, inquiry-based, and problem-based learning strategies. • Use of deep questioning techniques • Use of close reading techniques • Increasing text complexity • Writing to support opinions and arguments with evidence • Explicit teaching of reasoning strategies • Use of Dr. Willard Daggett’s Rigor and Relevance Framework

  15. Learning Models - Resources • Project-based Learning • http://pbl-online.org/ • http://www.bie.org/ • Inquiry-based Learning • http://www.neiu.edu/~middle/Modules/science%20mods/amazon%20components/AmazonComponents2.html • http://www.teachnology.com/currenttrends/inquiry/ • Problem-based Learning • http://pbln.imsa.edu/

  16. Deep Questioning Techniques • Socratic - http://www.harrison.k12.ms.us/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=gyVCgxoaEnw%3D&tabid=173&mid=1494 • Bloom’s Taxonomy – http://www.teachers.ash.org.au/researchskills/dalton.htm ; Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy - http://www.waynecountyschools.org/147210622111220523/lib/147210622111220523/Revised_Blooms_Info.pdf • Questioning Toolkit - http://fno.org/nov97/toolkit.html • Dense Questioning - http://www.englishcompanion.com/pdfDocs/introdenseq.pdf

  18. Text Complexity • Three part Model • Qualitative Dimension – levels of meaning, structure, conventions, etc… • Quantitative Dimension – word length, sentence length, etc… • Reader and Task – variables specific to the reader , such as motivation, experience. Resource: www.corestandards.org, English/Language Arts Appendix A

  19. Writing – Opinions and Arguments • Resource – www.corestandards.org (English/Language Arts Appendix C) • Opinion writing in lower grades • Argument writing in upper grades

  20. Explicit Teaching of Reasoning Skills Reasoning Skills Common in the Common Core Standards Resources: • Dr. Robert Marzano, Pickering, Pollock – “Classroom Instruction that Works” • Dr. Richard Stiggins – “Classroom Assessment for Student Learning” • Steps to Reasoning based on Stiggins – www.mixitupdifferentiation.org (Click on Get Thinking)
