Meadow Park Middle School MYP Candidate School Course Materials for Meadow Park Summa 2013-2014 School Year Principal: Toshiko Maurizio Assistant Principal: Scott Harrington School Phone 503-672-3600 Homework Hotline 503-259-6182 Attendance Line 503-259-6181 Meadow Park Mission Statement: We believe in creating a nurturing, inclusive, and academically rigorous environment that draws on the strengths, diversity, passion and creativity of each child. We strive to build a learning environment that promotes intercultural awareness, respect for others, and self-directed learning. District Goal for 2010-15: All students will show continuous progress toward their personal learning goals, developed in collaboration with teachers and parents, and will be prepared for post-secondary education and career success. Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year at Meadow Park Middle School. We are looking forward to an excellent year. Below are some key terms for students and families. Community Service: As an IB Middle Years Program candidate school, we hold a high regard for international mindedness and service. We encourage our students to contribute to the local and global communities. As part of their Meadow Park experience, we expect students to volunteer 10 hours and reflect on the experience. Students will learn more about this in their advisory class. MYP Criteria: are subject-specific categories, which will be used to assess the MYP aims and objectives. The Beaverton School District (BSD) academic learning targets will fit into these criteria. BSD Academic Learning Targets: The learning targets show what students will be learning in each content area. They are designed to build upon student learning from grade level to grade level, and they are aligned to the Common Core State Standards. The targets are consistent across all eight of the Beaverton middle schools. Rubrics: MYP rubrics will be used to measure student achievement on the MYP Criteria (and the BSD Learning Targets). They will help provide feedback to students and parents on what can be done to improve their mastery of learning. Rubrics are an excellent tool for communicating student achievement. Reporting of grades: As an MYP school, students will be graded with an MYP rubric. These use a scale of 8 points. 8-7 = Highly Proficient 6-5 = Proficient 4-3 = Nearly Proficient 2-1= Working Towards Proficiency Marks will be based on the assessment of student performance on a range of tasks (for example: projects, presentations, tests, speeches, discussion, and displays.) Behavior and Academic marks will be reported separately. Personal Management/Behavior Learning Targets:Student skills are as important to success as academic marks. The following three targets will be used throughout the district to support student learning and achievement. These marks will be reported separately from academic marks. Manage Responsibilities: I can manage my responsibilities as a student. Self-Directed Learning: I can self-direct my learning. Classroom Interactions: I can communicate and work effectively within a team or group. EXCELLENCE ✪ INNOVATION ✪ EQUITY ✪ COLLABORATION

MYP objectives and criteria for assessing* students in • Design Cycle Technology 6 • B: Design • create designs and communicate them using different forms and conventions • compare the designs against the design specifications • select, with guidance, one design over the others. • A: Investigate • consider the problem within a wider context • understand the concept of a design brief and adapt a given design brief to the problem or, with guidance, start to develop a design brief. • D: Create • use different techniques and equipment, with guidance • ensure a safe working environment for themselves and others. • understand the importance of plans and, with guidance, follow the plan to produce the product/solution • understand the importance of monitoring progress and revisiting the plan and, with guidance, making necessary changes. • create, with some guidance, a product/solution of appropriate quality. • C: Plan • describe, with guidance, the steps needed to create the product/solution • construct a plan to create, with guidance, the product/solution that makes effective use of resources and time • with guidance, consider the effectiveness of the plan and make suitable modifications • E: Evaluate • carry out or follow tests, with guidance, to compare the product/solution against the design specification • consider the success (and/or failure) of the product/solution based on testing, their own views and the views of the intended user • consider, with guidance, the impact of the product/solution on individuals and/or on society • explain, with guidance, how the product/solution could be improved. • reflect on their performance at each stage of the design cycle • identify and describe the parts they found easy and the parts that proved difficult. With guidance, suggest ways in which their performance could be improved. • F: Attitudes in Technology • carry out units of work in technology using materials and techniques safely and responsibly • work effectively as members of a team, collaborating, acknowledging and supporting the views of others • provide evidence of personal engagement with the subject (motivation, independence, general positive attitude) when working in technology. *Design Cycle Technology scores will be delivered through advisories and will not appear in synergy.

  19. MYP objectives and criteria for assessing* students in • Design Cycle Technology 7/8 • B: Design • generate a range of designs that attempt to meet the design specifications • compare the designs against the design specifications and identify the pros and cons of each design • select one design and explain its choice. • A: Investigate • consider the importance of the problem for life, society and/or the environment • outline a simple design brief. • D: Create • use appropriate techniques and equipment competently • use appropriate techniques and equipment competently • follow the plan to produce the product/solution with minimal guidance • review the plan and explain any changes to the plan (when necessary). • create a product/solution of appropriate quality. • C: Plan • devise, with guidance, a series of logical steps to create the product/solution • construct a plan to create the product/solution that makes effective use of resources and time • analyze the plan and explain the need for any modifications to the design. • E: Evaluate • carry out tests to compare the product/solution against the design specification • consider the success (and/or failure) of the product/solution in an objective manner based on testing, their own views and the views of the intended user • consider the impact of the product/solution on individuals and/or on society • explain how the product/solution could be improved. • reflect on their performance at each stage of the design cycle • identify the parts they found difficult and suggest ways in which their performance could be improved. • F: Attitudes in Technology • carry out units of work in technology using materials and techniques safely and responsibly • work effectively as members of a team, collaborating, acknowledging and supporting the views of others • provide evidence of personal engagement with the subject (motivation, independence, general positive attitude) when working in technology. *Design Cycle Technology scores will be delivered through advisories and will not appear in synergy.

  20. Grading/Assessment Flow Chart • Summary Judgment on Criteria A Explanation Depending upon the course and the time of year, between 3 and 8 criteria will be assessed. • Assessments will receive a score of 8-1 • 8-7 = Highly Proficient (HP) • 6-5 = Proficient (Pro) • 4-3 = Nearly Proficient (NP) • 2-1 = Working Towards Proficient (WT) • Examples of assessments include tests, projects, quizzes, oral presentations, class discussions, collections of evidence on that target, performances or work samples. Summary Judgments • Teachers will look at all assessments for MYP Assessment Criteria. They will then make a Summary Judgment on how the student is doing on that Criteria. Summary Judgments use the same scale as assessments. There can be between 3 and 8 Summary Judgments made in a semester, depending upon which learning targets are taught. Letter Grade Conversion • Using the chart on the right, the summary judgments will be converted to a letter grade.
