  9. NC’s Aligned Plan Turnaround of Lowest- Achieving Schools Quality Standards and Assessments Data Systems to Improve Instruction Great Teachers & Principals

  10. ACRE is the state's comprehensive initiative to redefine the Standard Course of Study for K-12 students, the student testing program and the school accountability model. ACRE Website: http://www.ncpublicschools.org/acre/

  11. Over five years, this work will, • identify the most critical knowledge and skills that students need to learn • create new student tests for grades 3-8 and high school courses that use more open-ended questions, more technology and more real-world applications; and • provide a new model for measuring school success that gives parents and educators more relevant information about how well schools are preparing students for college, work and adulthood.

  12. PROGRAM MAP 2010-11 Newer ACRE work streams connecting directly with teachers, leaders, parents and students Tools and training, blending online and face-to-face learning experiences to help educators increase effectiveness and transition to new standards and assessments. Included are the creation of instructional toolkits, NC Falcon formative assessment training modules, new standards roll-out, using data to make decisions and Response to Instruction. Diverse communication strategies that memorably inform all stakeholders (esp. students, parents, teachers, principals) and build understanding and investment in ACRE. Communication strategies include website, webinar series, listserves, internal newsletter and LEA concierge service. Professional Development Communications &Change Management Standards Assessment Accountability A revised model that includes measures of post-secondary readiness, robust, fair growth measures, revised reporting functions and motivates behavior that improves student outcomes. College and career-ready standards. A new set of academic standards benchmarked against the best national and international expectations. The goal is to set fewer, clearer and higher standards that , when achieved, ensure a student is ready for post-secondary education and work. Standards include Common Core in ELA and Math and NC Essential Standards in all other subjects. Curricular support resources will be developed to support the transition. Summative Ongoing central work to revise standards, assessment and accountability Benchmark Formative A comprehensive assessment system with a focus on using assessments to improve instruction and assess learning and instructional effectiveness. Plan includes updated EOG and EOCs, a tool to build common benchmark assessments and a variety of formative assessment tools including progress monitoring tools, writing assessments, in-class formative assessment training, portfolio assessments and data tools to improve instruction. Newer work to deliver new standards, assessments and teaching tools Learner Management System (LMS) Single, user-friendly online platform to house and deliver new tools, particularly the delivery of formative and summative assessments, provision of data analysis tools, delivery of professional development and instructional resources to teachers and establishment of online learning communities. Newer work to build LEA capacity to implement online tools Instructional Technology and Infrastructure Initiatives Creating tools and providing consulting-services that help enable a move to instructional and assessment models that take full advantage of online technologies and technologies yet to be developed. Included are the creation of the State School Technology Plan, One-to-One pilot support, and planning and consulting to help LEAs build infrastructure, allocate resources and plan logistics to move to online assessment.
