  1. Why is a Standard-based system important?What does the best model look like?How can I support this model?

  2. The four components of RISC • Shared Vision • Leadership • Standards-Based Design • Continuous Improvement

  3. What is a standards-based system and why should we move in to that direction?

  4. What are the four components to the standards-based design?

  5. Continuous Improvement Cycle Meaningful Reporting Effective Instruction Relevant Standards Multiple Assessments

  6. Stages of change (CBAM) A K 1st R R R

  7. Stages of change (Concerns Based Adoption Model) Awareness Knowledge 1st Time Routine Refinement Replication

  8. Where is your organization in relation to implementing standards? Consensogram • A tool that provides a quick assessment on how people feel about an issue • Use sticky notes with no names to be more authentic • Determine what we want to measure (How deep is the deployment with standards • Discuss how this can set the tone for the training (pulse reading, burning issues etc.)

  9. Advantages: Unchanged system (e.g.course, scheduling, and record keeping) Parents are used to this approach Disadvantages: Limited to the core subject areas Limited connection to daily classroom activities High anxiety at specific grade levels Approaches That Rely on External Assessments(Student must score proficient on a region high-stakes assessment)

  10. Advantages: Easy transition into current system Course grade indicate student performance Easy to identify what standards are being addressed Disadvantages: Does not accommodate many standards Does not lend itself to integration of multiple standards Specific needs of students aren’t being addressed Approaches that use core courses(State standards are embedded in specific, required courses)

  11. Advantages: Performance tasks are concrete representations of specific standards Connected to daily classroom activities Variety of ways to demonstrate standards Disadvantages: Difficult to address all standards through projects Time needed for staff to create the projects Concerns about validity and reliability Approaches that rely on projects, exhibitions, and portfolios(Students must score proficient on performance tasks that are connected to standards)

  12. Advantage: Research strongly supports this model Meets the individual needs of every student Everyone knows the expectation Highly accountable/aligned Support multiple ways to reach standards Disadvantage: Massive paradigm shift for education Scheduling, reporting, assessments and resource allocation are redesigned Advil, Mallox, and Rogaine will be your best friends Approaches that redesign their systems to meet the needs of each individual student(Students progress through developmental levels at their rate to meet specific standards this includes aligned standards, assessment, instructional best practices, and reporting)RISC Model

  13. Models of Implementing Standards • Approaches that rely on external assessments eg. Alaska Exit Exam • Approaches that use core courses eg. course grades tied to standards • Approaches that rely on projects, exhibitions, and portfolios eg.score on science fair project • Approaches that redesign their system to meet the needs of every student eg. RISC Model

  14. Using the RISC Organizational Self-Assessment tool, first determine where your schools are and what are some strengths and OFIs for Standards-Based Design? • Clarify the task • Reflect individually • Impact on your system • Share with your partner CRIS

  15. CRIS Using your self assessment tool create a minute check-up matrix to check the deployment of standards,instruction, assessment and reporting in a class, school or district • Clarify: the question or project • Reflect: individually • Impact: on you and your system • Share: your thoughts within your group

  16. 1 minute RISC checkupclassroomschooldistrict What do I see What do I hear • Standards Question • Instructional Strategies Question • Assessment Strategies Question • Reporting Documents Question • Refinements Recommendations:

  17. 1 minute RISC checkupclassroomschooldistrict • Standards (How do I know standards are driving instruction?) • Instructional Strategies(What are the instructional strategies being used?) • Assessment Strategies(Are the assessments aligned to the standards?) • Reporting Documents(How to reporting document reflect students’ progress on standards?)

  18. DeLorenzo’s Top Eight Excuses to Guarantee No Change • We tried that before • Our district is different • We don’t have the money • Our organization is too small or big • Micro management is our friend • If only you really understood our situation • It’s impossible with our bus schedule! • If only we didn’t have any students I think we could change a few things!

  19. Continuous Improvement Cycle Meaningful Reporting Effective Instruction Relevant Standards Multiple Assessments

  20. Relevant Standards • Reading • Writing • Math • Personal/Social Development • Career Development • Service Learning • Social Science • Science • Technology • Cultural Awareness and Expression

  21. Continuous Improvement Cycle Effective Instruction Meaningful Reporting Relevant Standards Multiple Assessments

  22. Balance Instructional Model • Drill and Practice: Traditional teaching,knowledge bits,skill based • Practical Application: How will the student use this? • Interactive: Simulation of an event ”City Unit” • Real Life Connection: Outside the walls of the classroom, doing the real thing

  23. Continuous Improvement Cycle Effective Instruction Meaningful Reporting Relevant Standards Multiple Assessments

  24. The Instructional and Assessment Alignment • Direct Instruction Skills-Based Assessment • Performance Tasks Analytical Assessments • Contextual Projects Contextual Assessments • Individual Learning Plan Variety of Assessments
