  1. High School Content Expectations Information November 18, 2005

  2. High School Content Expectations On November 15, 2005, DRAFT High School Content Expectations developed by the Michigan Department of Education, Office of School Improvement were presented as an information item to the State Board of Education.

  3. Content Expectations Goal These expectations were developed to provide a description of what students should know and be able to do in English Language Arts and Mathematics by the end of high school for postsecondary success – college, careers and community.

  4. Content Expectations Goal The Expectations provide a foundation for curriculum and assessment development that represents rigorous and relevant learning for ALL high school students.

  5. Content Expectations Goal The Expectations: • Revise and extend the current Michigan Curriculum Framework High School Standards and Benchmarks. • They will also becomethe basis forthe non-ACT elements within the Michigan Merit Exam.

  6. High School Content Expectations The Expectations: • Build on and extend • Michigan K-8 GLCE and the K-8 Educational Experience • Michigan Curriculum Framework • Career and Employability Skills Content Standards and Benchmarks • Are aligned with national standards and recommendations • ADP, NCTE/IRA, NCTM/PSSM, College Board/UUS, ACT, MCREL, NAGB/NAEP

  7. Rigor, Relevance and Relationships Expectations are based on the three R’s: rigor, relevance, and relationships. They support individualized learning, real-world experiences, and higher standards for learning.

  8. These Expectationswill engage students to… Master content knowledge Have the ability to apply that knowledge to analyze and propose solutions to real- world problems Make connections between what they read, hear, and learn in class and the world around them Rigor, Relevance, and Applied Learning Standards

  9. These Expectations will: Challenge students intellectually Require that students make a substantial investment in their own learning Foster the development of cognitive abilities Develop leadership qualities Rigor, Relevance, and Applied Learning Standards

  10. Thought Critical Analysis Debate Research Synthesis Problem-solving Reflection Communication Decision Making Analytic Reasoning Personal and Social Responsibility Rigorous and Relevant Expectations Require students to be deeply engaged in:

  12. Components for Mathematical ProficiencyAdding it Up, National Research Council, 2001 In order to take the content to a higher level of rigor, learning takes place in the context of: • Conceptual Understanding • Comprehension of mathematical concepts, operations, and relations • Procedural Fluency • Skill in carrying out procedures flexibly and accurately • Strategic Competence • Ability to formulate, represent, and solve mathematical problems • Adaptive Reasoning • Capacity for logical thought, reflection, explanation, and justification • Productive Disposition • Habitual inclination to see mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile, coupled with a belief in diligence

  13. Quantitative Literacy Representations and Properties of Number and Other Systems (10) Calculation, Algorithms, and Estimation (19) Measurement and Precision (6) Algebra and Functions Symbols, Expressions, and Operations (8) Functions (55) Equations and Inequalities (16) Mathematical Modeling (13) Geometry and Trigonometry Two-Dimensional Figures and Their Properties (52) Three-Dimensional Figures and Their Properties (10) Relations Between Figures (16) Transformations of Figures in the Plane (19) Trigonometry and Vectors (19) Statistics and Probability Univariate Data – Examining Distributions (12) Bivariate Data – Examining Relationships (11) Sample Surveys and Experiments (9) Statistical Inference – Drawing Conclusions from Data (13) Statistical and Probabilistic Reasoning (8) Simulation and the Law of Large Numbers (3) Probability Models and Calculating Probabilities (8) Probability Distributions (4) HS Mathematics Expectations Organized by strand, standard, and topic

  14. Example Strand –Quantitative Literacy (L) Standard – L1: Representations and Properties of Number and Other Systems Students represent and order numbers, and use the properties of special numbers. Topic – L1.1Representations and Relationships Expectation – L1.1.1Represent numbers in scientific notation, and interpret calculator or computer displays of numbers given in scientific notation. Expectation – L1.1.2Represent absolute value relationships, both abstract and applied (e.g., tolerances) on the number line, as intervals and points. HS Mathematics Expectations Organized by strand, standard, and topic

Academic Review Rebecca Sipe, Chair, Eastern Michigan University Linda Adler-Kassner, EMU Ellen Brinkley, WMU Lynne Listeman, MDE/CTE Charles Peters, U of M Linda Stokes Smith, MDE Hugh Spagnuolo, Lansing Schools Allen Webb, WMU University Review Susan Steffel, CMU Marilyn Wilson, MSU Internal Review Jane Hesse,Novi Schools/ Achieve* Cynthia Clingman,Ottawa ISD/MRA* Rita Maddox,Gratiot/Isabella RESD* Gale Sharpe,MDE* Linda Stokes Smith,MDE Betty Underwood,MDE/OSI* Elaine Weber,Macomb ISD* External Review Maureen Baker,Tri County Area Schools/MCTE Marilyn Brooks,Midland Public Schools/MRA *Grade Level Content Expectations Committee English Language Arts Work Group

  16. HS English Language Arts Expectations In order to take the content to a higher level of rigor, learning takes place in the context of: • Dispositions (Habits of Mind) for Generative Rigor • Inter-relationships and Self-reliance • Families, communities, societies, governments, economies • Critical Response/Stance • Validity, quality, perspective, empathy, social action, power • Transformational Thinking • Engagement in learning and the world, open to possible failure, thinking into the future, reflection, search for truth, generative vs. receptive, wisdom • Leadership Qualities • Integrity, responsibility, plural citizenship, micro-macro fluidity, negotiation, effective writing and speaking abilities, innovation

  17. Writing, Speaking, and Representing Writing Process (6) Personal Growth (4) Audience and Purpose (9) Inquiry and Research (7) Finished Products (5) Reading, Listening, and Viewing Strategy Development (12) Meaning Beyond the Literal Level (3) Independent Reading (8) Literature and Culture Close Literary Reading (9) Reading and Response (5) (varied genre and time periods) Text Analysis (6) Mass Media (4) Language Effective English Language Use (5) Language Variety (5) HS English Language Arts Expectations Expectations organized by strandand standard with focus on cognitive skills and dispositions for generative thinking necessary for successful post-secondary success – college, careers and community.

  18. HS English Language Arts Expectations Constructing Meaning Example Strand 2: Reading, Listening, and Viewing Standard – 2.2: Use a variety of reading, listening, and viewing strategies to construct meaning beyond the literal level (e.g., drawing inferences; confirming and correcting; making comparisons, connections, and generalizations; and drawing conclusions). Expectation – CE2.2.1Recognize literary and persuasive strategies as ways in which communication can be influenced through imagery, irony, satire, parody, propaganda, overstatement/understatement, omission, and multiple points of view. Expectation – CE2.2.2Examine the ways in which prior knowledge affects the understanding of written, spoken, or multimedia text. Expectation – CE2.2.3 Interpret the meaning of written, spoken, and visual texts drawing on different cultural, theoretical, and critical perspectives. Expectations organized by strand and standard
