  1. Curriculum, Assessment, and Gifted and Talented Overview Opening Day August 1, 2012

  2. Curriculum Update

  3. Curriculum for 2012-2013 • English/Language Arts = Kentucky Core Academic Standards (KCAS) • Math = Kentucky Core Academic Standards (KCAS) • Science = CC 4.1 + KCAS Literacy Standards • The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) will be released in December 2012. Students will be assessed on the new standards in the Spring of 2014. • Social Studies = CC 4.1 + KCAS Literacy Standards

  4. Update on Science Standards • A group of 20 states were selected to lead an important effort to improve science education for all students. The 20 states will lead the development of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS),a state-led effort that will clearly define the content and practices all students will need to learn from kindergarten through high school graduation. • In July 2011, the National Research Council released A Framework for K-12 Science Education, developed by a committee representing expertise in science, teaching and learning, curriculum, assessment and education policy. • The Partners used the framework to guide the standards writing process, gather and deliver feedback from state-level committees in order to address common issues and challenges. • The draft standards were released in May. The science standards are currently under revision. • The NGSS should be completed by the end of 2012. Environmental literacy is part of the discussion around the Next Generation Science Standards. • The Kentucky Environmental Literacy Plan (KELP) has been created to ensure that graduates of Kentucky’s P‐12 education system will be environmentally literate.

  5. Curriculum • Implementation of KCAS for English/Language Arts and Math • District Curriculum Maps are currently being entered into the new CIITS Curriculum Mapping Module. • The District will be aligning their lesson plan template with the KDE CIITS lesson plan format. • Template for Standards Based Unit of Study is posted on the District Curriculum Page

  6. Program Reviews • Curriculum • Arts/Humanities CC 4.1 • Practical/Living Vocational Studies CC 4.1 • Writing KCAS English/Language Arts

  10. Changes for Inclusion of Special Populations Regulation • Policy Changes relating to PSP students • Remove reader on the reading test • Change prompting and cueing to cue to stay on task • Remove assistive technology because it is viewed as an IEP accommodation • Electronic bilingual dictionaries (word to word) are still okay

  18. Assessment Framework 2012-2013

  19. ThinkLink • Beginning of Year Assessment • Curriculum • Kentucky Core Academic Standards • English/Language Arts • Math • Science KCC 4.1 • Social Studies KCC 4.1 • Fall Administration will begin in August. • ThinkLink will be utilized to meet the requirements of Senate Bill 1 for K-2 assessment.

  20. ThinkLink 2012-2013 • 3 Assessments • K-2 (P, A, B) • 3-11 (A, B, C) • 3 Assessments for Science ( 4 and 7) and Social Studies (5 and 8) • English/Language Arts and Math aligned to KCAS • Science and Social Studies aligned to CC 4.1

  21. New Assessment System • Fall 2011 offers the first test administration to begin Kentucky’s new assessment and accountability system. • Unbridled Learning: College- and/or Career-Ready for All replaces CATS. • Kentucky-Performance Rating for Educational Progress (K-PREP) replaces the KCCT. • The first reporting of Unbridled Learning will occur in fall 2012.

  22. K-PREP • The new assessment for grades 3-8 is a blended model built with norm-referenced test (NRT) and criterion-referenced test (CRT) items which consist of multiple-choice (mc), extended-response (er) and short answer (sa) items. The NRT portion, the Stanford 10 (Pearson), is a purchased test with national norms and the CRT portion is customized for Kentucky • Grades 10 and 11 take Writing On-demand which is a also a Pearson assessment. • Students completing English 10, Biology, Algebra II, and U.S. History take the Quality Core End of Course Assessments. • EPAS (ACT Assessments) • EXPLORE (Grade 8) • PLAN (Grade 10) • ACT (Grade 11)

  27. New Accountability Model

  28. Phasing In Unbridled Learning

  29. Performance Measures for Next-Generation Learners *Averaged Freshman Graduation Rate will be used in 2011, 2012 and 2013 reporting. Reporting using Cohort will begin in 2014. **End-of-Course tests in 2011-2012 include Algebra II, English 10, Biology and U.S. History.

  30. Next-Generation Learners

  31. Aligned, high-quality assessments that measure student growth

  32. Aligned, high-quality assessments that measure student growth

  33. Calculation Process Individual student data collected from the assessments and rates (readiness and graduation) are used to generate a numeric value for each category. The value of each category is weighted to create a final overall score for Next-Generation Learners.

  34. Kentucky High School Sample

  35. Accountability Sample Final Score A single number and classification Distinguished (90th Percentile) 55.4 Proficient (70th Percentile) Needs Improvement (69th Percentile)

  36. State-developed Differentiated Recognition,Accountability and Support • Set ambitious but achievable AMOs to guide support and improvement efforts • AMOs would be set after the 2012 tests

  37. State-developed Differentiated Recognition, Accountability and Support • Reward schools: Provide incentive and recognition for high-progress and highest performing Title I schools • Priority schools: Identify lowest-performing schools and implement interventions aligned with the turnaround principles • Focus schools: Close achievement gaps by identifying and implementing interventions in schools with the greatest achievement gaps or low graduation rates • Provide incentives and supports for other Title I schools • Build state, district and school capacity to improve student learning in all schools

  38. Program Reviews • Program Reviews were required to be submitted by each school this past June. • Program Reviews will NOT be part of accountability for the scores that will be reported in October 2012. • Program Reviews will be part of accountability for 2012-2013. (23%)

  39. Program Reviews • Required to be completed in Arts/Humanities, Practical Living/Career Studies and Writing in 2011-2012 academic year. • Data reported in ASSIST. • Public reporting for the state in 2011-2012, enters accountability in 2012-2013.

  40. SB 1: K-2 Assessments • Senate Bill 1 (KRS 158.6453(9)) requires schools to enroll primary students using diagnostic assessments and prompts that measure readiness in reading and mathematics.   These assessments must be developmentally appropriate.  Schools may use commercial products, locally developed products and procedures, or develop their own diagnostic procedures.  The following guidelines are provided for districts to consider when purchasing or developing an appropriate diagnostic assessment. • ThinkLink (End of Year Assessment) • Kindergarten (Paper/Pencil) • Grades 1-2 (Online)

  41. Assessment Results 2011-2012 • Results will be available to districts in late September • Results will be available to the public in October. • At this time, NCLB accountability has changed. • The new accountability cycle will begin for all schools (with the exception of those that are already identified as persistently low achieving) with the 2012 assessment results.

  42. Gifted and Talented

  43. Reminders • Same Policies and Procedures as previous year • NEW: Additional Testing at Grade 4 • English/Language Arts • Science • Social Studies • General Intellect • New Identifications may be made at any time • A qualifying score on a NRT is a required component for identification • Goal to update Primary Talent Pool Service Plans and Gifted Student Service Plans by August 31 for students who are currently identified in the program.

  44. Thank You! Welcome Back And Have a Great New Year!
