  1. Welcome Back Secondary Math Department Superintendent’s Conference Day August 28, 2012 12:15-3:30

  2. Agenda (12:15-12:30) Welcome Back (12:30-1:15) Building & Implementing a Rigorous Curriculum (1:15-1:45) Curriculum Maps – NYLearns (1:45-2:00) BREAK (2:00-3:30) Grade Level/Course Groups

  3. Outcomes Deepen understanding of the instructional cycle for a curricular unit of study . Access all unit resources necessary for implementation of instructional cycle and use the unit resources effectively. Connect resources and instructional cycle to the shifts required for implementation of common core. Become aware of changes in department programs. Provide constructive feedback on a unit of study for the course you are teaching.

  4. Do you believe?

  5. Rigorous Curriculum Design “A rigorous curriculum must keep students at the center of its design. A rigorous curriculum must remain flexible, adaptable to the diverse and continuously changing learning needs of all the students it serves. One of the ways a rigorous curriculum design can help teachers address these challenges is by offering students precise learning targets, meaningful and relevant lessons and activities, and multiple opportunities to succeed.” ~Larry Ainsworth

  6. Practice Let’s practice implementing the cycle with a sample curricular unit of study.

  7. Implementing the Curricular UnitLarry Ainsworth After introducing the unit to students and administering the common formative pre-assessment, the instructional Data Team will chart the students’ assessment results according to levels of proficiency and then analyze those results to diagnose student learning needs. They will set goals for student learning gains to achieve by the end of the unit.

  8. Implementing the Curricular UnitLarry Ainsworth They will select research based instructional strategies to meet the goal for each of their different performance levels of student subgroups. They will determine results indicators to show whether or not the strategies are working for the educators and their students. They will decide how and in what ways they will monitor the effectiveness of the targeted strategies.

  9. Components of a Rigorous Curriculum • “Precise learning targets” • Puts accountability for their own progress in the students’ hands. • Informs parents or others who are supporting the students’ learning. • Informs teachers regarding differentiation. • “Meaningful and relevant lessons and activities” • Will be working throughout the year to embed best practices/ effective lessons in NYLearns Resource column. This will take time as this is our first year of CCLS implementation. • Sharing strategies that work with data teams will be vital. • “Multiple opportunities to succeed” • Common Formative Assessments: Pre-Tests • Teacher created formative assessments (ticket out, thumbs up, clickers, work on white boards, etc) • Providing timely, meaningfulfeedback moves learners forward and promotes effective classroom discussions.

  10. Curriculum Map Updates All courses except IB and AP have curriculum maps in NYLearns. Log in to NYLearns and add the curriculum maps you will be teaching from this year to My CMs by clicking the green plus symbol. This will help keep you informed when updates are made to the map.

  11. Curriculum Maps First row of each unit for each course in NYLearns will contain the following five documents: * Unit Map * Learning Targets * Pre-Test * Collaborative Analysis Tool * Post-Test Not all maps are complete yet. We will continue to add these resources throughout the year.
