  4. Glenbard has a lot of company on this journey… NCTM - National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Curriculum Alignment Alignment and coherence of these three elements: curriculum, standards, and assessment—are critically important foundations of mathematics education. • National Governors Association– Common Curriculum and Rigor • Researched and evidenced-based • Internationally benchmarked • Aligned with college and work expectations • Rigorous content and skills NSTA - National Science Teachers Association - Assessment Instruction and assessment be aligned so that formative and summative assessments are meaningful and can be used to improve the science curriculum as well as determine what students have learned. • NASSP – National Association of Secondary School Principals - Achievement Gap and Rigor • Feb. 2009 – preparing all students for • postsecondary success • Close the Achievement Gap • Access to rigorous coursework • for all is a key feature of • Breakthrough schools • *Breaking ranks – promotes • open access to rigorous courses • for all students NCSS – National Council for the Social Studies – UbD … curriculum networks of knowledge, skills, beliefs, and attitudes that are structured around enduring understanding, essential questions, important ideas and goals. NCTE – National Council of Teachers of English - Rigor Advocate for all students' access to a rigorous, engaging curriculum...

  5. Constant = Time/ support Variable = Learning Constant = Learning Variable = Time/ support Learning Standards Time / Academic Support Course

  6. Constant= Time/ support Variable = Learning If we make learning targets the variable then …. 1. … a student’s past academic achievement is believed to be constant. 2. … multiple levels should be considered. 3. … a course level becomes the intervention.

  7. If we make time and support the variable, then …. 1. … all students are expected to meet a highly rigorous academic level. 2. … a student’s past academic achievement is used to determine the support systems that are needed to help them be successful. 3. … teachers and administrators work together to continuously consider and develop new ways to support students. Constant = Learning Variable = Time/ support Course Academic standards
