  2. MAP Development 1993-2008 Outstanding Schools Act 1993 Show-Me Standards Six Content Areas and Four Processes Assessment Annotations Where concepts would be assessed Curriculum Frameworks To Know and To Do Statements for all content areas MAP Tests Four Content Areas Clear Access Reports MAP Test Results 77 reports GLE’s Four Content Areas (More specific than Frameworks) NCLB Model Curriculum Examples of: - Ways to access GLE’s - Learning Activities - Instructional Methods New MAP Tests 2006 Mathematics: Grade Level Test 2006 Communication Arts: Grade Level Test 2008 Science: Grade Span Test SMCAA

  3. Grade-Level Expectations Assessment Annotations Frameworks for Curriculum Development Show-Me Standards

  4. Code for First Grade GLE: Ma, AR, 1, A, 1 The content area is math: Ma *Code the Strand: “AR” for first letters of Algebraic Relationships. *Code the Big Idea: “1” *Code the Concept: “A”for Recognize and Extend Patterns. *Code the Grade Level: “1” for first grade.

  5. GLE Implementation Strategies Correlation Study Content areas and Grade ranges Four Findings Continue To Use Local Assessment Data to Guide Improvement of Local Curriculum Including Objectives, Assessments, Learning Activities, and Instructional Methods A) Present Objective is Above and Beyond Little or No Changes to the Present Curriculum Revise Objectives to Fill Content Gaps, Revise Assessments, Revise Learning Activities, and Revise Instructional Methods B) Present Objective is Close Use Selected GLEs to Guide Revision of the Present Objectives Objective is a Sub-Skill Keep it C) Present Objective Does Not Match Objective Matches GLE on Another Grade Level Move it or keep it in the grade range Objective Doesn’t Match Any GLE May consider dropping Create Local Assessments, Learning Activities, and Instructional Methods that Align to the New Objective D) No Objective Correlates to a GLE Use selected GLE to Create New Objective SMCAA

  6. Important Tip #1 • When comparing the GLEs to your objectives, it is important to realize that the learner objectives should be (at least) at the same cognitive level as the GLEs. (e.g. If the GLE says to “analyze” and your objective says “identify,” the objective will need to be pushed up to require students to analyze.) • In turn, you will need to make the necessary adjustments to the learning activities and the assessments to make them teach and assess the cognitive levels of the objectives.

  7. Important Tip #2 • If the GLE mentions several component pieces and your objective(s) fail to address all of these component pieces, you will need to modify your learner objective(s) to be more inclusive. • In turn, you will need to expand your learning activities and assessments to address/assess the added component pieces.

  8. GLE/Curriculum Alignment Taught Tested State/Local Written Written Written Taught Tested The more the three overlap the more effective and efficient the curriculum becomes. The written curriculum will be a smaller circle than the taught curriculum.

  9. What Types of Items Can Be Used in Assessments? • Selected-Response Items - provide two or more options from which the test taker selects the best answer. (multiple-choice, true-false, and matching) • Constructed Response Items - require students to produce answers and to defend their thinking rather than select a correct choice from an array of possibilities. • Performance Events – require students to demonstrate higher level thinking skills on questions that have a range of appropriate responses. (assesses student progress toward the attainment of predetermined criteria and often reflects real life application) Roblyn Hatch

  10. Assessment Questions Selected Response Closed-ended Constructed Response 21-(-3) = At 5:00 p.m. the temperature was 21 F. Later that A. 18 night the temperature dropped to 3 F below zero. B. 24 How many degrees did the temperature drop? C. -63 Describe or show how you solved the problem D. -7 Open-ended Constructed Response Performance Event Describe a real-life situation when a person Create a visual that demonstrates a 24 hour period needs to know how to subtract a negative when the temperature drops below zero. number from a positive number. Describe the hourly changes in temperature and Create and solve a problem that demonstrates and the total change in temperature. your example. Justify how you solved the problem.
