  3. Overarching Essential Question: How can we ensure that the teaching and learning in IU 13 operated classrooms reflects a synergistic standards aligned system?

  4. Evidence of Success Documented Materials and Resources Alignment Audit Documented Action Plan for leading teachers to a deeper understanding of: Teaching and learning in a standards-based system The super essential grade level learning targets for ALL students in PA Alignment audit of current materials and resources being used in IU 13 operated classrooms.

  5. Components of PA’s Standards Aligned Systems Clear Standards FairAssessments Interventions StudentAchievement Materials & Resources CurriculumFramework Instruction

  6. Activating Strategy SAS Brainstorm and Categorize Place the statements by the most appropriate “circle” in the standards aligned system.

  7. Standards Aligned System Six Components: Clear Standards Fair Assessments Curriculum Framework Instruction Materials & Resources Interventions PDE Video – Dr. Zahorchak

  8. Build: Standards Aligned Systems State School Classroom

  9. Components of PA’s Standards Aligned Systems Clear Standards FairAssessments Interventions StudentAchievement Materials & Resources CurriculumFramework Instruction

  10. Build: Standards Aligned Systems Clear Standards Clear Standards Clear, high standards that establish what all students should know and be able to do by specific grade levels. FairAssessments Interventions StudentAchievement Materials & Resources Curriculum Framework Instruction

  11. Build: Standards Aligned Systems Build: Standards Aligned Systems Fair Assessments • Fair assessments aligned to the standards. • Summative • Formative • Benchmark • Diagnostic • Assessment Anchors Clear Standards FairAssessments Interventions StudentAchievement Materials & Resources Curriculum Framework Instruction

  12. Build: Standards Aligned Systems Build: Standards Aligned Systems Curriculum Framework Clear Standards A framework specifying Big Ideas, Concepts, and Competencies in each subject area/at each grade level. What do we want our students to deeply understand, know and do by the end of a given grade or course? FairAssessments Interventions StudentAchievement Materials & Resources Curriculum Framework Instruction

  13. Build: Standards Aligned Systems Build: Standards Aligned Systems Instruction • Aligning instruction with standards involves identifying strategies that are best suited to help students achieve the expected performance. • Research-based Strategies • Differentiating Instruction • Using 21st Century Instructional Technologies (CFF) Clear Standards FairAssessments Interventions StudentAchievement Materials & Resources Curriculum Framework Instruction

  14. Build: Standards Aligned Systems Build: Standards Aligned Systems Interventions Clear Standards • A safety net/intervention system that insures all students meet standards. • Additional Supports FairAssessments Interventions StudentAchievement Materials & Resources Curriculum Framework Instruction

  15. Build: Standards Aligned Systems Build: Standards Aligned Systems Materials & Resources Clear Standards • Materials that align to the standards: • Units and Lesson Plans • Instructional Resources (Print/Media) • 21st Century Instructional Technologies (CFF) FairAssessments Interventions StudentAchievement Materials & Resources Curriculum Framework Instruction

  16. Key Question #1 What do we want ALL students to know, understand, and do by the end of a given grade or course? (Big Ideas, Concepts, and Competencies) • Must reflect learning goals embedded in the PA Academic Standards • Priority learning reflected in the PA Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content

  17. 3 Tools in Education Toolboxfor Curriculum Camp Work • Tool #1 – PA Academic Standards • Tool #2 – PA Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content • Tool #3 – PA SAS Curriculum Framework on Ed Hub

  18. Tool #1: PA Academic Standards • A set of expectation for what students should know and be able to do at certain milestones (grade levels) throughout their formal education. • The minimum learning for which ALL Pennsylvania students are expected to reach proficiency. • Chapter 4 of PA State Code (1998/1999)

  19. Math Academic Standards(Categories) 2.1 Numbers, number systems, and number relationships 2.2 Computation and estimation 2.3 Measurement and estimation 2.4 Mathematical reasoning and connections 2.5 Mathematical problem solving and communication 2.6 Statistics and data analysis 2.7 Probability and predictions 2.8 Algebra and functions 2.9 Geometry 2.10 Trigonometry 2.11 Concepts of calculus

  20. PSSA Student Reporting Categories for Math *Calculus (Standard 2.11) is not specifically identified, but could be embedded across all reporting categories.

  21. Tool #2: PA Assessment Anchors • Clarifying and prioritizing tool for curriculum development • More detailed information regarding the range of learning (assessment limits) • Targeted as the “Super Essential” learning within the curriculum • Priority learning for struggling students. • ALL STANDARDS – still the law!

  22. Assessment Anchors • Assessment Anchor • Same for each grade level • Grade-level descriptors and eligible content reflect different learning for different grade levels • Grade-level descriptors • Clarify the anchor • Eligible content • Limits of testable content • Not all assessed on PSSA

  23. Assessment Anchors • Released 2004 to provide greater clarity to the field of the assessment system. • Tighten focus of what is assessed and at what grade level. • Do not replace standards, provide an “anchor” for the State Assessment System and curriculum/instructional practices in schools.

  29. Group Work Key Question #3: What are the big ideas embedded in the PA Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content for a given grade or course?

  30. Tool #3 -- PA SAS Curriculum Framework

  31. Key Question #4 How do we know that the materials and resources (purchased programs) being used in IU 13 operated classrooms are aligned with the essential learning for a given grade or course? • What is missing in the program we are currently using? • What are we doing that we many not need to be doing?

  32. Summarizing Activity 3-2-1 • 3 new understandings from today’s work • 2 actions you will take with your teachers • 1 question you still need answered

  35. Overarching Essential Question: How can we ensure that the teaching and learning in IU 13 operated classrooms reflects a synergistic standards aligned system?

  36. Key Questions What do we want ALL students to know, understand, and do by the end of a given grade or course? (Big Ideas, Concepts, and Competencies) How does the SAS curriculum framework help us focus on grade level benchmarks? What are the big ideas embedded in the PA Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content for a given grade or course? How do we know that the materials and resources (purchased programs) being used in IU 13 operated classrooms are aligned with the essential learning for a given grade or course? What role does assessment play in relationship to curriculum in a standards aligned system?
