  1. Using Atlas to Analyze Standards and Inform Student Learning NESA Spring Educator’s Conference

  2. Your Facilitator Today John Moore and Meng Zhou Rubicon International

  3. Workshop Basics • Share Your Experiences and Ideas • Ask questions • Here to help!

  4. Objectives… • Examine the different ways standards can be customized in Atlas to model best practices. • Analyze the various assessment methods used in your classroom and discover those employed across your school. • Apply the Atlas Reporting Tools to verify a quality, standards-based, taught curriculum. • Use the Atlas Reporting Tools to ensure a learning-oriented assessed curriculum.

  5. The Relative Curriculum Learned Taught Intended Standards Based: AERO Standards ACTFL IB Programmes TESOL School-developed Amalgamation of the above • Assessments • Student learning activities • Diary vs. Projected • Captures what happens in the class • Shows connection to how the curriculum is being covered

  6. Standards Management Phases with Atlas (Re)Define Analyze-Evaluate Design Implement

  7. Standards Management: The “(Re)Define” Phase • Careful, deliberate, informed standards change/ decisions • Needs Analysis: • Assessment of what should be in existence based on external criteria • Assessment of what should be in existence based on internal criteria • Provide direction: • Goals • Objectives

  8. Use of descriptors

  9. What is the intended and curriculum at your school? How does the taught curriculum align to it? • Is it mandated or developed by the school? • Does everybody understand it? • Do you communicate to all constituencies? • Is it in alignment with your school mission? • How do you incorporate character? • What about early childhood?

  10. Standards Management: The “Design” Phase • Selecting Standards • Adapting Standards • DIY Standards • Horizontal and Vertical Coherence

  11. What process/strategies do you follow to (re) define and design your academic standards? • What was the trigger event to adopt your current standards? • Who do you involve? Who was involved initially? • What is the shelf life of your standards? • What is the timing for introducing revisions? • How do you go about introducing them in Atlas?

  12. Standards Management: The “Implement” Phase • How standards (as the planned curriculum) can be integrated into the: • Taught curriculum • Assessed curriculum • (implications to the “learned curriculum”)

  13. Standards Management: The “Analyze/ Evaluate” Phase • Available Reports in Atlas: • Standards Overview • Standards Profiling • My Standards • Quick Reports • My Reports

  14. What is a 3rd graders assessment experience at the school?

  15. As a school, how many times are students mastering benchmarks through assessment?

  16. How can you get a quick view for what standards and benchmarks have been assessed in science?

  17. What are some questions you have about your standards and benchmarks? • Take 5 minutes to compile a list of key questions. • See if you translate these questions into queries in Analyze. • Standards Profiling • Standards Overview • Don’t forget to visit the tutorials under Info.

  18. Create some Samples (My Reports) that will be helpful in future conversations. Be prepared to share your samples.
