  2. Welcome • Introductions • Overview of Agenda

  3. SED Updates • 3-8 Assessment • Testing guides are overdue • Format change announcement impending • Authentic text rules have changed • Change in tools rules for math: No calculator for Book 1 grades 6-8 • There will be training this year

  4. SED Updates • Global • Looks like it will be split • Different options; field will be surveyed • Maybe 2015-2016

  5. ITD

  6. CI&A Upcoming events • ELA Leadership Network - Dec 10 • CCLS for ELA: Instructional Shifts for Literacy- Dec 14 • Register through My Learning Plan

  7.

  8. Just for Visual Art Teachers • Visual Art Educators Professional Development Day: Teaching Strategies in Studio Art • Provided bySUNY Cortland • March 22

  9. Teacher Centers • CNY/Oswego Teacher Center is looking for volunteers to facilitate teacher conversations

  10. Social Media and ISS • ???

  11. Race To The Top (the Regents Reform Agenda)

  12. Math • FIRST address preApril/postApril • CONTNUE to build understanding about what kids are now expected to be able to do • BE CAREFUL about rushing to adopt programs, buy series, or take things from engageNY

  13. Math • University of Arizona Common Core Math Institute • March 1-3 (Friday Night, Saturday, Sunday) • For the Northeast • Doubletree • Bill McCallum-led • Plenary and grade-band sessions • Participants do work andcreate shared products

  14. Math • Cost structure • 250 seats total - cost through Arizona $400 • CNY Teacher Center subsidizing 100 seats to $200 • OCM NT paying that remaining $200 for two “free” seats per NT district • Cortland Teacher Center subsidizing some additional to $0 for their districts • Cincy Teacher Center subsidizing for Cincy to $0 • Translates to approx. 50 seats at $200 for components, if want to send above the 2

  15. Math • FIRST address preApril/postApril • CONTNUE to build understanding about what kids are now expected to be able to do • BE CAREFUL about rushing to adopt programs, buy series, or take things from engageNY

  16. Common CoreMathematics Standards Transforming Practice Through Team Leadership

  17. Needed Change The practices, more than the content, are what make the Common Core essential for student success: • Make sense and persevere in solving problems. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

  18. Needed Change The practices, continued: • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriate tools strategically. • Attend to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

  19. Needed Change This is what has to change: • Equity: focus on all students • Curriculum: ensure consistent, focused content focus • Teaching and Learning: monitor changes in instructional practices • Assessment: Common formative/interim assessment (DDI process) • Technology: appropriate implementation and utilization

  20. Leadership Team Form a long-term leadership team • Administrators (principals, curriculum leaders, etc.) • Math coaches, instructional specialists, etc. • Teachers of math

  21. Leadership Team Four strategies for leadership team: • Promoting adoption and avoiding rejection • Focusing on students brings success • Building support for collegial relationships • Maintaining support to increase implementation

  22. Levels of Adoption Being strategic

  23. Leadership Team Moves forward with pressure • Builds common knowledge • Communicates vision and plan • Is encouraging and supportive • Monitors progress

  24. Focus on Students Big ideas: • Opportunity to Learn: guaranteed and viable curriculum • Timelines, scope & sequences, etc. • Materials • All classrooms • Assessed • Note: make sure old materials and ideas are removed

  25. Focus on Students Big ideas: • Visible Thinking: conceptual fluency over procedural fluency • Metacognition • Math talk • Constructivism • Note: make sure “fluency” is understood

  26. Focus on Students Big ideas: • Engaging Lessons: cognitive engagement • Active • High expectations • Writing and explanations • Students doing the work • Note: traditional lesson structure has to be discarded (HW-lesson-start HW)

  27. Focus on Students Big ideas: • Group-Worthy Problems: students need to work together on challenging problems • Collaboration • Open-ended • Multiple pathways • Important content • Note: Math Solutions is great with this

  28. Focus on Students Big ideas: • RtI: Data-Driven Process • common formative/interim assessment • Tier 1 • Tier 2 • PLC • Note: need to ensure that intervention is occurring

  29. Common Core Instruction Teachers will need to • Understand the practices • Understand how kids learn mathematics • Be able to collaboratively unit plan • Know and apply effective strategies • Monitor learning (and adjust)

  30. Sustain the Change Leadership team will maintain pressure via • Coaching • Ongoing professional development • Appropriate decisions about materials (carefully piloted by later adopters) • Classroom visits and monitoring • Communication of progress • Expectations for all teachers to work collaboratively

  31. Standards meet DDI meet Culture

  32. ELA • Vision of what we need to do is clearer • Balancing Informational & Literary Text • Knowledge in the Disciplines • Staircase of Complexity • Text-based Answers • Writing for Sources • Academic Vocabulary • Expeditionary Learning here during last week in June? UNIT PLANNING AND REVISION

  33. Other Standards • Next Generation Science Standards • Looks like January draft (major changes) • End of March is a “hard” deadline

  34. Data-Driven Instruction • AM 2.5 hrs • Balanced Assessment System • Six Shifts of DDI • Assessment Construction 101 • Process for getting from SLO to calendar for common formative/interim assessments • Process for getting first assessment done • PM 2.5 hrs • Work time (w/ support) • Should be replicable for other interims

  35. Culture • PLCs at Work Summit • Keynotes streamed • Quick responses to our questions • One breakout streamed, second would be recorded (both facilitated) • We could run our own breakouts, too • $225+ for two-day event (+ is for facilities, food, and additional facilitator) • July 17-19, July 24-26, or August 5-7 available

  36. Long-term Planning How’s it going? Can we help?

  37. Assessment

  38. Regents Scoring • Will meet after BCIC today

  39. 3-8 Scoring • Proposals based on data and feedback from last June BCIC meeting • Same grouping and sites as 2011-12

  40. Personnel • Two trainers provided by districts for each test • Facilitators 1:6 scorers • Common communication and process prior to scoring day • Experienced scorer

  41. More Personnel • Scorers • ELA 1:25 • Math 1:34 • Based on past year test construction • Support • Each district minimum of one support person up to ratio of 1:250 tests • Timing can vary but will need to scheduled in advance • Clerical/Administrative

  42. Procedures • Each group determine procedure but have standardized : • Process for tracking tests • Providing read behinds • Advance communication with trainers and facilitators • Process for packaging and delivery of tests

  43. Proposed Schedule • Same tests scored on same day across region---- this is so that as calls are made to hotline the information can be shared across sites • One test per day—this is so that fit into sites • Recognize that this will not work for South site- schedule aligns as closely as possible for this group • Avoids adjacent grade levels scoring on consecutive days

  44. Group Discussion • Each cluster has site coordinator as a facilitator • Review the summary handout • As a group record ideas • (facilitator will collect at end) • Prepare to report on themes...

  45. Next BCIC Meeting December 20, 2012 Distance Learning Center
