  1. Life Skills & Community Based Classrooms Professional Learning Communities Extended Core Curriculum

  2. What are we doing? PROFESSIONAL • Quarterly meetings with other severe unit teachers. LEARNING • Collaborate with teachers regarding curriculum, instruction, and behavior interventions. • Collaborate with teachers regarding transition. COMMUNITIES • Provide support to one another.

  3. Why? “Winds of Change”

  4. How are things going to change? • Utah State Office of Education Extended Core Standards for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities. • IEP Goals aligned with USOE Extended Core Standards on grade level. • Implementing curriculum district-wide.

  5. USOE Extended Core Standards for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities Raising the Bar

  6. Introduction • Developed to give students with significant disabilities access to the Core Curriculum. • Contains standards for math, science and English language arts for grades K-12.

  7. Organization • Standard: a broad statement of what all students are expected to understand. • Element of the Standard: a statement of specific expectations and basic principles of the standard. • Extended Core Standard: a statement of what a student with significant cognitive disabilities is expected to understand at each grade level. • Example: intended to demonstrate practical and functional application of the standard.

  8. PLC Application • In your groups: • Pick an extended core standard for English language arts that falls within the grade level of students your group currently instructs. • Write a lesson plan in which the content objective of the plan aligns with the extended core standard. • Do the same for math and science.

  9. IEP Goals aligned with grade level Extended Core Standards Reporting Progress

  10. Refresher IEP goals should be: • Observable • Measureable • Have functional application (PLAFFP “statement of function”) • Goals tied to objectives “as evidenced by”

  11. Assessment • Should direct IEP goals and instruction. • Should be done with each Extended Core Standard. • Should culminate every year with UAA.

  12. PLC Application • In your groups: • Look at English language arts Core Standards and write an IEP Goal and Objectives for the grade level your group currently instructs. • Design or outline an assessment procedure for your IEP goal. . .make sure to address progress reporting. • Do the same for math and science.

  13. Curriculum implemented district-wide Equipping with Tools

  14. Elementary English language arts: • MEville to WEville Math • Every Day Counts

  15. Elementary English language arts: • MEville to WEville • Currently being piloted at: • Green Acres Elementary Math: • Every Day Counts • Currently being piloted at: • Green Acres Elementary

  16. Secondary English language arts: • Language! Level A Math • Attainment’s Teaching to Math Standards

  17. Secondary English language arts: • Language! Level A • Currently being piloted at: • Bonneville High School Math: • Attainment’s Teaching to Math Standards • Currently being piloted at: • Orion Junior High

  18. Curriculum Demonstration Elementary • Janice Hill • Extended Core with Lo-Tech Accommodations Secondary • Nichole Warren-Doman • Extended Core Science—teaching with technology

  19. Where do we go from here? • Personal Reflection • What am I currently doing? • Why am I doing it that way? • How can I begin to implement change? • Question/Feedback • Write down at least one question you still have. • Any presentation feedback.

  20. Who will support you? • PLCs: Collaborate! Don’t continue to reinvent the wheel. • Coordinators: Plan to meet with your coordinator and share your “How” question, so they have a specific way to help. • Me: Please leave your question with me today and I will get them answered. • I will be facilitating the PLC meetings this year so please share your feedback with me. • I would love to come see the exciting things you are doing in your classes and help problem solve with you. • Juliana Woodbury (801)814-8087 jwoodbury@weber.k12.ut.us
