  1. Common Core and Quality Core

  2. Why new standards? • Early school in America - agricultural roots, minimal learning goals for public students • 20th century school in America - weed out those with college promise from those who would go to work • 21st century school in America - must create workforce that is globally competitive, higher skills for all

  3. ? What did weed out students look like? • Identify college material, give them more and more difficult material (college preparatory) • broad liberal arts based approach, cultural emphasis, tech work for those not identified • stratify students by achievement • normative measures

  4. We no longer can “weed out” our students. The standard of learning for post-secondary education and placement in production are nearly identical.

  5. Standards and Instruction • Standards • Instructional Practices • Lesson Planning • Assessment Program • Evaluation/Grading How can I as an administrator help you with these?

  8. Evaluation/Grading • I can help you there but • Today is not that day to look at standards based, mastery work with retakes and formative practices • Your system also gives you some parameters

  9. Assessment is an area where we can help • Practitioners • Are you trained in the development and evaluation of assessments? • How much time do you spend in crafting a quality assessment piece? Ever reuse for time savings? • What criteria do you use in creating an assessment?

  10. Assessment • Uses we should have • Informational/Diagnostic/Pre-Test, least used in secondary? • Formative assessments for learning • Non-graded? Or are you grading everything? • Summative assessments of learning • Re-test? One shot only?
