  9. Creating a Phased Approach

  10. Phase 1: Standards as Data What do we want kids to know and do? • Build district-wide, core maps articulating guaranteed and viable curriculum • Align core maps vertically and horizontally • Adjust content, skills, I can statements, and resources as needed • Unpack standards for Webb D.O.K

  11. Phase 2: Assessment as Data How will we all know if they know it? • Develop an understanding and application of basic assessment literacy • Explore item design as it relates to assessments and differentiation of instruction • Utilize the test construction template from a formative and summative viewpoint

  12. Phase 3: Conversation as Data What do we do if they do/don’t get it? • Build formative assessment w/ student record keeping within diary maps • Create standards-based report cards • Craft common grading policies for standards • Establish student-led conferencing options

  13. Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium 28 states representing 44% of K-12 students

  14. SMARTER Balance GAME CHANGER • More rigorous tests measuring student progress toward “college and career readiness” • Have common, comparable scores across member states, and across consortia • Provide achievement and growth information to help make better educational decisions and professional development opportunities

  15. SMARTER Balance • Assess all students, except those with “significant cognitive disabilities” • Administer online, with timely results • Use multiple measures

  16. IONIA Will we be ready?

  17. Curriculum Meetings • Elementary: ½ day in September, full day in February • 6-12: Full day in December or April • K-12 Curriculum Teams: 1-3 times this year • November 1 PD day: various topics and ½ day Hair on Fire • K-8 ELA: 4 days of Put Readers First

  18. Materials Math 2011-2012: K-5 Math Expressions was implemented 2012-2013: 6-8 Piloting Connected Mathematics 2 Algebra and Geometry implementing College Preparatory Mathematics

  19. Materials Math 2013-1014: 6-8 hopes to implement Connected Mathematics 3 High School hopes to Implement College Preparatory Mathematics for Algebra 2

  20. Materials Science Waiting on the Next Generation Science Standards and the Hair on Fire Process

  21. Materials Social Studies Waiting on the Hair on Fire Process. We have a proposal on hold until approximately this time next year.

  22. Materials ELA Elementary/middle school- Put Readers First has shown us strengths and weaknesses in our reading instruction Elementary Writing- information being gathered from teachers on effectiveness of program along with test scores and Hair on Fire information

  23. Materials ELA Middle/High School- The Hair on Fire process and the Common Core are bringing up concerns over which materials to use and what is needed All of this will be brought to the K-12 ELA group to discuss on which direction to take at the April 10, 2013 meeting
