  1. Rigorous Curriculum Design Newport Mesa Unified School District

  2. Greetings and Introductions What is your name, position, and school? Why is it important that the teachers from NMUSD develop a new K-12 curriculum? How will students and teachers benefit from a clearly articulated curriculum?

  3. Learning Intentions By the end of the day you will • Understand the context for the development of the NMUSD Rigorous Curriculum Design (RCD) Model. • Examine the connection between the components of RCD. • Analyze the learning experiences included in Unit 2, and plan for implementation. • Examine the structure of the RCD Wiki.

  4. Put Your Best Thinking Together Clock Partners

  5. What does the word rigor mean to you? What components should be included in a rigorous curriculum design? • How are standards, assessment, and instruction connected within a strong curriculum?

  6. In order for teachers to deeply implement the components of a rigorous curriculum so that students benefit, what processes and supporting structures need to be in place? • What changes have occurred in the 21st century that set the stage for the CCSS and Rigorous Curriculum Design?

  7. “ In the 21st century, the question is not what do you know, but rather what can you do with what you know and how do you update your knowledge continuously? —Tony Wagner, 2009

  9. Read About The Formative Process Students as leaders of their own learning

  10. The Formative Process is an approach to learning that combines many components 12:00 Partners

  11. What would your students say about you?

  12. Common Core State Standards A Portrait ofStudents Who are College & Career Ready 3:00 Partners

  13. Stepping Up to the Challenge We are Here! Smarter Balanced Assessments Pilot and Final

  14. SBAC Sample Selected Response

  15. SBAC Sample Performance Assessment

  16. 6:00 Partners Based on the information about learning for the future, the formative process, the CCSS (ELA) and Smarter Balanced assessments, what next steps need to be taken in planning for students’ learning experiences?

  17. Learning Intentions By the end of the day you will • Understand the context for the development of the NMUSD Rigorous Curriculum Design (RCD) Model. • Examine the connection between the components of RCD. • Analyze the learning experiences included in Unit 2, and plan for implementation. • Examine the structure of the RCD Wiki.

  18. Rigorous Curriculum Defined A rigorous curriculum is an inclusive set of the following intentionally aligned components organized into sequenced units of study • Clear learning outcomes (CCSS) • Aligned formative assessments • Engaging learning experiences • Effectiveinstructional strategies Page 3

  19. Rigorous Curriculum Defined Rigor refers to a level of difficulty and the ways in which students apply their knowledge through higher-order thinking skills. Rigor also means reaching for a higher level of quality in both effort and outcome.

  20. Four Parts of Rigorous Curriculum Design Model 1. Context and Big Picture Connections 2. Building the Foundation 3. Designing the Units of Study 4. Implementing the Units

  21. Building the Foundation 5. Construct the Unit Planning Organizer 4. Prepare a Pacing Calendar 3. Guidelines for Assigning Standards 2. Name the Units of Study 1. Prioritize the CCCS

  22. Priority Standards Priority Standards (Essential) Connecting Standards

  23. Step 1: Prioritize the ELA Standards

  24. Steps 2, 3, 4: Name and Pace Units, Connect Standards Limit the number of priority standards per unit in order to ensure that students reach the desired level of mastery.

  25. Steps 2, 3, 4: Name and Pace Units, Connect Standards Build in a buffer period for remediation and enrichment between units of study.

  26. Steps 2, 3, 4: Name and Pace Units, Connect Standards Correlation Chart: Check to see that every prioritized standard is addressed in at least one unit of instruction.

  29. Science, 6th Grade View the engaging scenario for a 6th grade unit of study on cellular structure. Rob Olazagasti from The School of the Future in New York City

  30. Construct an explanation for the functions of specific parts of cells including: nucleus, chloroplasts, and mitochondria, and the structure of the cell membrane and the cell wall for maintaining a stable internal environment.

  31. Literacy Standards • Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose and audience • Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research

  32. 9:00 Partners Science, 6th Grade • Describe the effective practices included in the learning experiences depicted in this video clip? • What are your thoughts and questions about the engaging scenario?

  33. Task 1 (4 days) Create and present an annotated diagram of a cell Task 2 (3 days) Build models comparing structures in NYC to the parts/ functions of a cell • Observe cells in a microscope and record observations in science journal • Detail knowledge with notes from taken from four sources (text, articles, on-line) • L • L • L • L • L
