  2. “We engage students, strengthen teachers, and deliver results.”

  3. Adoption of Common Core Curriculum The Rochester City School District has adopted New York’s Common Core Curriculum modules as our District curriculum for ELA/Literacy. As NYS begins its roll-out of these modules, we will begin to scaffold this information into what has already been developed in Rochester. In short, the information that NYSED will make available to districts will be blended with current resources and work that has been done on the Rochester Curriculum. We believe that this blended approach will provide the students in the Rochester City School District the best opportunity to succeed.

  8. Curriculum: “Zooming in” on levels of detail Curriculum module structure Yearlong curriculum map / scope and sequence Assessment overview Unit overview Lesson overview

  9. Yearlong Curriculum Plan • There are four modules per grade in a year • Each module is aligned to the CCLS and addresses the six instructional shifts

  10. Curriculum Module Structure • Each module spans eight weeks of instruction and is comprised of three units • Modules are designed to integrate reading and writing and to build content knowledge

  11. Curriculum Module Structure Each module overview starts with a summary paragraph that describes the content and instructional arc of the module. The summary also contains a list of Guiding Questions and “Big Ideas” that serve as entry points into the module content.

  12. Curriculum Module Structure The modules are a series of one-hour ELA blocks aligned with NYS Social Studies and Science Standards.

  13. Assessment Overview Each module culminates with a text-based literacy performance task.

  14. Assessment Overview Each unit contains two “on-demand” assessments, which ask students to do their best work on their own and are aligned to standards.

  15. Unit Overview Each of the three units is structured similarly to the modules.

  16. Unit-at-a-Glance Calendar For each unit, there’s a calendar that shows how the 8 weeks is laid out. The calendar also shows the standards in student-friendly language… …and gives ideas for ongoing assessment.

  17. Unit Level: Notice and Wonder Instructions • On your own: review the unit level documents (5 minutes) • With a colleague or two at your table, discuss • What do you notice? • State concretely what you see. What is the content? How is it structured? • What do you wonder? • State questions you have about what you see. What sparks your curiosity? What do you want to know more about?

  18. Lesson Overview The lesson shows the long-term learning target… …and the supporting targets for this particular lesson.

  19. Lesson Overview The agenda shows the lesson “at a glance… …and the teaching notes provide some coaching for teachers as they think about delivering the lesson.

  20. Lesson Overview Each lesson calls out vocabulary that should be explicitly taught as well as other words that may arise in the course of teaching the content.

  21. Lesson Overview Each lesson is broken down into sections: Opening, Work Time, and Closing.

  22. Lesson Overview Each lesson offers recommendations for supporting all learners.
