5. Expanded Learning Opportunity Council: Framework Guidance Standards Based Academic Linkage and Enrichment: Expanded learning opportunities complement classroom-based instruction and should be linked to academic standards. Enrichment activities and instruction may be provided in a different format than traditional classroom and may incorporate experiential and project-based learning, tutoring, and mentoring. Teachers and expanded learning opportunities providers must work as colleagues to support student learning and track academic progress of the students they serve. ELO Standards Discussion.1-15-15

14. Our Vision:Every student will have access to state learning standards through high quality instruction aligned with the standards every day; and every educator is prepared and supported to implement the standards effectively in their classrooms every day. Our Purpose:To develop a statewide system with resources that supports all school districts in their preparation of educators and students.

15. The “What” and the “How” A Standards-Based Support and Development System What do students, educators, and systems need to know and be able to do? How do we know they are learning? How do we respond? How do we design instructional, assessment, and professional learning systems to support every teacher and every student? OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

19. The “What”: Key Content Shifts Handout Shifts in Science The NGSS Reflect the Interconnected Nature of Science through Focus, Understanding, and Application of Content The Science Concepts in the NGSS Build Coherently from K–12. Science and Engineering are Integrated across K–12 in the NGSS. Shifts in ELA • Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational texts in addition to literature • Reading and writing grounded in evidence from the text • Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary These apply to content area (social studies, science, and technical subject) teachers as well as to English teachers. Shifts in Mathematics • Focus: fewer topics focused on deeply in each grade • Coherence: Concepts logically connected from one grade to the next and linked to other major topics within the grade • Rigor: Fluency with arithmetic, application of knowledge to real world situations, and deep understanding of mathematical concepts OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 19

21. The “What” – Power of the Shifts • Know them – both the what and the why • Internalize them for your context Apply them to decisions about • Time & Energy • Resource decisions • Conversations with parents, students, colleagues, partners For Discussion: • Review your assigned section • Discuss: What are the linkages among in-school learning and expanded learning that you notice? • Quick report out OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

40. Voices from the FieldTargeted Student Behavioral Outcomes • Increase science learning through hands-on exploration • Enhance science engagement through outdoor investigations • Build a sense of community and social confidence • Enhance writing skills • Demonstrate learning through the arts

41. Voices from the Field: Program shifts • Strengthened instructors information including assessment of student needs • Outcomes have remained the same • Impact greatest when focusing on application of content and interpersonal skills • Increased engagement and connection

42. Expanded Learning Opportunities:Bringing the “what”, the “how”, and the FoLs together • Resources to make connections with youth beyond the classroom • Carol Dweck, Praise article • Mathematics questions handout • Video: 10 Ways to Build School-Community Partnerships • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc_8Qjl2GPU For Discussion: • What are the “More of” and “Less of” opportunities in your work? • What is needed to increase intentional linkages and partnerships that connect student learning standards and student support programs? • Where do natural linkages already exist (among programs, standards, etc.)? • Where to strong models already exist? What are their conditions for success? How do they measure success? OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
