  1. Standards Awareness What are they? Why are they important?

  2. Why are standards important? Standards are guideposts for schools. Teachers, parents and students use them as a tool to focus on what students are expected to learn.

  3. What are standards? Standards spell out what students are expected to learn in each grade and each subject. Each state Department of Education creates standards for schools within the state. These standards become the basis for the way teachers are trained, what they teach and what is on state standardized tests that students take.

  4. Where do standards come from? The standards "movement" grew out of frustration in the late 1990s with a fragmented public school system with many levels of bureaucracy — local, state, national — in which expectations for students varied widely. The thinking among researchers was that if clear and challenging content standards were set, then teachers would teach to those standards and tests would measure if students were meeting the goals.

  5. English Language Arts CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.1 Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. CCSS -common core state standard ELA –english language arts CCRA –college and career readiness anchor standard R –reading 1 this is the first standard

  6. Mathematics CCSS.Math.Content.HSA-SSE.A.2 Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see x4 – y4 as (x2)2 – (y2)2, thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x2 – y2)(x2 + y2). HAS –high school algebra SSE –seeing structure in expressions A.2 –first section part 2

  7. Where can you find the standards? • The common core state standards • http://www.corestandards.org/ • Arizona state standards: • http://www.azed.gov/standards-practices/ • This has a link to common core as well as ALL OTHER standards taught in Arizona.

  8. Learning Objective • You have probably seen this in your classes as I can… I will be able to… statements already this year! • What do they mean to you? • They are there to make it clear what you should be able to know or do by the end of that class session.

  9. Are they the same thing? Take a minute and discuss the similarities and differences between the state standards and the learning objective.
