2011-2012 Corvallis School District509J
At the elementary level: • Learning and implementation of using the Common Core Standards • Implementation of Standards Based Report Card using Common Core Standards • Training of using the Pinnacle Grade book system • Assist with the increase of use of CFA’s • Hired half time TOSA to assist with implementation of all of the above Where are we now?
Pacing Guides: 4th grade pacing guide CCSS working guides: 4th grade writing Parent component: Brochures, Information Nights, Gazette Times news articles Web Site: Chris’s site Allow for PLC time – early release and staff meetings for implementation and listening to pilot teachers Some tools we created:
Report Card – overwhelming especially with learning new electronic grade book but forced us focus on learning and implementing standards. • Possible learn ELA first • Proficiency based grading • Utilize other work from other States earlier on– Thank you North Carolina! • Use ODE tools on introducing standards especially critical areas Lessons Learned
Standards Based Report Card was already in process of implementation with pilot teachers Pilot teachers agreed using CCSS was a clear and efficient way to implement Made sense to implement – 2 years out Our math curriculum was better aligned with CCSS’s Why did we choose to start where we did?
Continue to deconstruct standards. • Assist with the increase of use of CFA’s and knowledge of Smarter Balance • Develop agreements on proficiency across grade level • Continue to improve our report card with clear language and number of CCSS’s we report to • Continue to better align curriculum with standards. • Discussions with Middle School and High School Alignment What do we do next?
