  2. Who Is Our Audience? Teachers? Administrators? Instructional Coaches? Other?

  3. Large suburban district • Traditionally high performing • Changing demographics • Vague feeling of not being prepared • Not knowing what steps to take next to operationalize the new standards

  4. Plan to Operationalize CCSS • Develop deep teacher understanding of the standards through DOK training and proficiency scaling • Use proficiency scales to communicate the standards to other stakeholders, including students and parents. • Embed the standards in curriculum, assessment, and instructional practice. Prezi: Using DOK & Proficiency Scaling to Operationalize the Common Core http://prezi.com/rovogqyn8q5m

  5. Guiding Questions for DOK Training • What is DOK? • Why is DOKimportant? • How can we use DOK to address depthandrigor?

  6. Webb’s Depth of Knowledge • Progression of cognitive demand • Focuses on the degree of depth or complexity of knowledge reflected in the content standards • Describes how deeply a student needs to understand the content for a given standard

  7. Depth of Knowledge • Level 1: Recall and Reproduction • Level 2: Basic Skills and Concepts • Level 3: Strategic Thinking and Reasoning • Level 4: Extended Thinking

  8. Depth of Knowledge DOK 1: Identify this utensil. DOK 2: Explain the function of the fork. DOK 3: Identify two examples of when a fork would not be the best utensil for a type of food and explain why. DOK 4: Design an investigation to determine the optimal number and length of tines for a salad fork.

  9. Proficiency Scaling • Educators use a framework (DOK) to build a rigorous leveled view of each standard or cluster. • Used in designing both instruction and assessments to inform both teacher and student.

  10. Proficiency Scale

  11. 4th Grade Example

  12. NSD Summer Institute Schedule for Day 1: • 8-11 – Instruction and Guided Practice • Overview and Purpose Setting • DOK • Proficiency Scaling • 11-12 – Lunch • 12-3 – Proficiency Scaling • Work in collaborative groups to create Proficiency Scales for your grade-level standards Schedule for Day 2: • 8-11 – Proficiency Scaling • Work in collaborative groups to create Proficiency Scales for your grade-level standards • 11-12 – Lunch • 12-2 – Feedback • Grade-level feedback • Feedback within domains • 2-3 – Revision • Read and incorporate feedback into final scales

  13. How Will This Looks in 7-9 ELA? Grades 7-9: • 2014-2015: Implementing new curriculum • August 2016: DOK training and proficiency scaling for middle grades. 6-8? 7-9? • 2016-2017: Creating leveled assessments Grades 10-12: • Currently in curriculum adoption, no capacity at this time

  14. Lessons Learned • The value is in the process, not just in the scales. • Teachers are experts and must be the ones to engage in this work. • Have every teacher involved. • Once you’ve created a scale, you can use a scale. • Scales are living documents and will change as our own understanding develops. • Use this work to help inform future curriculum adoptions.
