  4. What Tools Do We Use to Measure Student Success? • What outcomes can you expect from a deeper understanding of the TEKS? • 2. How will you measure that success?

  5. A Deeper Understanding of the TEKS Requires… • Systems thinking: • Common vision • Common mission • Common beliefs • Willingness to confront brutal facts • Actively involved leadership • Commitment • Professional Learning • Time

What are the two most important components of your Student Expectations?

  15. Note: From the strand to the knowledge & skills statement to the student expectation, the information changes from broad to morspecific. Strand Knowledge & Skills Statement • 2 important parts of an SE: • CONTENT RIGOR • COGNITIVE RIGOR Student Expectation
