  8. Before we begin…some formative information gathering Who is with us today? (poll) How are is your district or building approaching selection of instructional materials aligned with the CCSS? (chat box) What questions are on the top of your mind today? (chat box) CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  9. State Context and Implications for Classrooms CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  10. Washington’s Vision for Education Every Washington public school student will graduate from high school globally competitive for work and postsecondary education and prepared for life in the 21stcentury. CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14 Class of 2011: Bridgeport High School

  11. Career and College Readiness (CCR) for EVERY Student • What is YOUR vision for career and college readiness? • What role do instructional materials serve in reaching this vision? CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  12. Our approach 2-Prongs: • The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators) • The How: System “Remodeling” • HOW do the standards impact your systems? (district, building, classroom) • WHAT will teachers and students need to do differently as a result of the standards? • HOW do instructional materials need to evolve based on refined content and new roles for teachers and students? CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  13. A new vision for Students and Teachers MATH SCIENCE Students and Teachers engaged in real-world applied learning within individual contents and across subjects and programs English language arts CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14 Source: Working Draft, 12-6-11 by Tina Cheuk, ell.stanford.edu

  14. CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  15. Through the lens of building and classroom leaders… CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  16. Classroom Impacts of CCSS and NGSS CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  17. CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  18. Considering Instructional Materials CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  19. Rethinking Instructional Materials and Resources INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS Individual lessons and plans Formally adopted or not Full courses Supplemental resources K-12 Core Curricula Teacher-created materials District-created materials/resources Purchased and/or “open” CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14 What do we mean when we talk about “instructional materials”?

  20. CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  21. Implications for Instruction and Student Achievement Critical to spend time learning the standards, understanding the shifts and knowing the progression of learning the standards attend to. Ensure ALL students have opportunities to engage in meaningful learning opportunities grounded in the shifts. CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  22. So…how should we think about reviewing instructional materials? CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14 THEN • Standard-by-Standard alignment • Unique supports for special populations of students Versus…. NOW • Overall quality that attends to the major shifts within the standards And • Deeper connections within the content • Integrated high leverage instructional practices that allow every student access to the CCSS within instructional materials

  23. Rethinking Instructional Materials- Ensure the shifts are present Mathematics: Images, illustrations and pictures only for the purpose of supporting the problems and tasks Significantly fewer pages Technology is used to support learning of concepts—not “just because” Reflects the major work in each grade Rich problems are not at the end of the chapter Embeds formative assessment processes CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  24. how word choice contributes to meaning and tone (RL.8.4) be able to cite textual evidence (RL.8.1) Grade 8: compare and contrast the structure of two or more texts and analyze how the different structure of each text contributes to its meaning and style (RL.8.5). support the assertions (arguments) they make in writing (W.8.1, W.8.9) CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14 Rethinking Instructional Materials- Instructional Materials: Beware of “Checklists”

  25. Rethinking Instructional Materials- The Opportunity of “Checklists” CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14 • NOT to “rate”, but to INFORM… • What do we need more work on seeing? • What do we see and know easily? • What are our strengths? • What are our weaknesses? • How do we know students are getting it?

  26. Resources for Considering Instructional Materials • Achieve the Core’s Instructional Materials Evaluation Toolkit (IMET) • http://www.achievethecore.org/page/783/instructional-materials-evaluation-tool-imet • 4 Tools: • K–8 Mathematics • High School Mathematics* • K–2 English Language Arts* • Combined tool for 3–5 English Language Arts/Literacy & 6–12 English Language Arts. CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  27. IMET / Publishers Criteria (“PC”)/ EQuIP CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14 Organization: Section I — Non-Negotiables: Materials must fully meet all of the non-negotiables at each grade/course to be aligned to the CCSS and to continue to Section II. Section II — Additional Alignment Criteria and Indicators of Quality: The criteria in this section are additional alignment requirements that should be met by materials fully aligned with the CCSS. A higher score in this section indicates that instructional materials are more closely aligned to the CCSS than instructional materials that have a lower score.

  28. The types of tools included within each IMET Toolkit CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14

  29. IMET/ Publishers Criteria (“PC”)/ EQuIP CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14 • CCSS “PC” • ELA – K-2 and 3-12 • Math – K-8 and High School FYI… • NGSS Guidance – in the works • Consider where we are with NGSS transitions BEFORE jumping to adjustments to instructional materials • OSPI and ESD Network and national partners working on resources on this topic for NGSS transitions

  30. IMET/ Publishers Criteria (“PC”)/ EQuIP CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14 An activity for your teams…. • Review your copy of the Publishers Criteria (the BIG PICTURE OF CONTENT) • Highlight 1-3 components/lines/ sections that stand out to you • Share your choices with your table mates • What makes these things challenging? • Why are they important? • Can you “rank order” them? • What questions do you have? What else do we need to learn?

  31. “PC”/ IMET/ EQuIP CCR Systems Webinar Pt.2-inst.materials.1-8-14 -- Designed to evaluate a unit/ lesson (and identify revision possibilities) -- Not intended to be used for whole courses I.
