KVEC Instructional Support Leadership Network September 26, 2013
ISLN Norms • Accessing Materials Electronically • http://kvecsupportnetwork.wikispaces.com/ • Rule of Two Feet
Repeating Goal for ISLN • Support the implementation and scaling of KCAS, PGES, and professional learning in my school/ district to provide students with the experiences necessary to become college and or/ career ready.
Themes for ISLN • A Year of Change • Dreaming BIG
What is the dream for your school? What is the dream for your students?
The Dreams in your Hands Magoffin County Schools
The dreams of our students • How can we help our students turn their dreams into reality? • If their dreams are in our hands, what can we do?
ISLN Focus • Every student taught by an effective teacher; every school led by an effective leader. • Student mastery of KCAS with the goal of being college/career ready
Turning Dreams into Reality requires CHANGE What are the roadblocks to leading change?
Time for Change • As we go throughout the year together, ISLN will support you as you are leading district/school CHANGE in an attempt to turn dreams into realitywhile recognizing that change is not easy.
C3 Framework for Social StudiesGuidance for Enhancing the Rigor of K-12 Civics, Economics, Geography, and History Social Studies Standards: • are based on a document called the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies by the National Council on Social Studies (NCSS). • focuses on the disciplinary and multidisciplinary concepts and practices that make up the process of investigation, analysis, and explanation. • are designed to have explicit connections to the Common Core ELA standards. (Literacy Standards in History/Social Studies) • http://www.socialstudies.org/system/files/c3/C3-Framework-for-Social-Studies.pdf
Kentucky Core Academic StandardsSocial Studies Update • Teacher, School, and District Leaders participating in Kentucky’s Leadership Networks for Social Studies will have multiple opportunities to provide input/feedback as well. • The goal is to have a solid, defensible, world-class draft of college/career- ready standards to present to the Kentucky Board of Education in 2014. • Progress updates will continue on a regular basis during Network meetings and in KDE’s ISN Newsletters and Webcasts.
Managing Change
Learning Targets • Describe the three phases of the change process. • Explain how to apply six strategies for managing change within your schools or districts. • Use the Stages of Concern to plan for and provide differentiated support to those implementing new initiatives. • Identify and explain strategies for addressing resistance to change.

The emperor has no clothes • Write a quote you found significant on one side of an index card. • On the other side of the card, explain the significance of the quote to you.
Save The Last Word For Me Protocol • One person reads their quote and points out where to find it in the article, but does not explain its significance. • The rest of the group discusses the quote. • After two minutes, discussion stops and the first person reads the back of their card to explain the significance of the quote to them. • Next person at table reads their quote and repeat the process.
Text Corners • Send at least one person from your district to each of the four stations. • Read the article and follow the protocol at that station. • Go back to your district table and share information from your article and how the protocol worked. Discuss ways to use the articles, information, and/or protocols in your district work. • Take notes on the learning targets using the discussion of your group. All articles and protocols are available on the website!

Digging In • Take a look at the examples of standards in your packet. • Spend time at your table talking over the questions on the three column handout and answer them as a table. • Include questions you have at the bottom.
Shift Happens! • K-12 science education should reflect the interconnected nature of science as it is practiced and experienced in the real world. • The NGSS are student performance expectations—NOT curriculum. • The science concepts in the NGSS build coherently from K-12. • The NGSS focus on deeper understanding of content as well as application of content. • Science and engineering are integrated in the NGSS, from K-12. • The NGSS are designed to prepare students for college, career, and citizenship. • The NGSS and CCSS (ELA and Math) are aligned.
5-LS1-1. Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the idea that plant matter comes mostly from air and water, not from the soil.] • Read some stuff • Grow some plants and measure soil mass before/after • Write an argumentative passage • Prove it to yourself • Read some stuff • Do some worksheets • Write an argumentative passage • Answer an ORQ • Take it on faith
NGSS Architecture Integration of practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas.
