Identifying the Learning Requirements for Your Class and/or Level

1. Identifying the Learning Requirements for Your Class and/or Level What do my students need to know and be able to do as a result of being in my class?

2. Step 1: Setting and Communicating Direction Clarify and communicate the learning requirements. • Be clear about the learning requirements for your class, course, or program. Determine how you will communicate these standards to ensure that your students and their families understand the learning requirements of your class, course or program.

3. Step 1: Setting and Communicating Direction Clarify and communicate the learning requirements. • Remember . . . . Learning Requirements are the WHAT! WHAT do my students need to be able to do as a result of being in this class?

4. Important: As teachers, we don’t get to negotiate the WHAT – we are expected to align the works in our classroom to learning requirements like Common Core Standards!

5. Step 1: Setting and Communicating Direction Clarify and communicate the learning requirements. • First, let’s be clear on what needs to go ABOVE the line and BELOW the line . . .

6. Setting Direction: Steps 1-4… Alignment to the CIP and Strategic Plan Class/Department Mission Statement Learning Requirements Learning Goal Engaging Students in Improving the Learning Process: Steps 5-8… Steps 5 5 5 5 Teaching & Learning Processes Teaching & Learning Processes Teaching & Learning Processes Teaching & Learning Processes 8 8 8 8 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 7

7. First, lets look at the pieces above the line . . . We need to be sure that what we are doing is aligning to the goal areas within the Continuous Improvement Plan: Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Innovation, or College and Career Readiness. Alignment to the CIP and Strategic Plan

8. First, lets look at the pieces above the line . . . This is your initial pre-testing that you did that shows the needs of your group and your baseline data for your learning goal! Keep in mind that this graph gets added to as evidence to students that when we focus on specific skill sets our score increases which contributes to our overall success in any given area!

9. First, lets look at the pieces above the line . . . Learning Requirements are what students need to know be able to do as a result of being in this class, course, or program. Learning Requirements The Learning Requirements are what we will work on identifying today! Essentially the learning requirements will be the same for everyone since we are using Common Core!

10. First, lets look at the pieces above the line . . . Learning Requirements What your learning requirements are depends on your department!

11. So, the learning requirements that you will post will be: Key Ideas and Details Text Types and Purposes Reading Craft and Structure Writing Production and Distribution of Writing Range of Reading & Level of Text Complexity Research to Build & Present Knowledge Integration of Knowledge and Ideas Range of Writing Comprehension & Collaboration Conventions of Standard English Speaking & Listening Language Knowledge of Language Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas Vocabulary Acquisition & Use These will be the same for most classrooms except for Math – and thanks to Deb we will be given posters of the above to put ABOVE THE LINE on our PDSA boards (MATH TOO)! 

12. Math– These are YOUR learning requirements… Number & Quantity Statistics & Probability Algebra Functions Geometry Seeing Structure in Expressions The Real Number System Interpreting Functions Arithmetic w/Polynomials & Rational Expressions Quantities Creating Equations Building Functions The Complex Number System Reasoning w/Equations & Inequalities Linear, Quadratic & Exponential Models Trigonometric Functions Vector and Matrix Quantities ★Modeling ★Modeling ★Modeling Congruence Similarity, Right Triangles, & Trigonometry Interpreting Categorical & Quantitative Data Modeling is best interpreted not as a collection of isolated topics but rather in relation to other standards. Making mathematical models is a Standard for Mathematical Practice, and specific modeling standards appear throughout the high school standards indicated by a star symbol (★). Making Inferences & Justifying Conclusions Circles Expressing Geometric Properties w/Equations Conditional Probability & the Rules of Probability Geometric Measurement & Dimension Using Probability to Make Decisions Modeling with Geometry ★Modeling ★Modeling
