7. What is Rigor? What is Rigorous Curriculum? • Rigor – “reaching for higher level quality through both effort and outcome” • Rigorous Curriculum: • An inclusive set of intentionally aligned components – clear learning outcomes with matching assessments, engaging learning experiences, and instructional strategies – organized into sequenced units of study. • Serves as both the detailed road map and the high-quality delivery system for ensuring that all students achieve the desired end: the attainment of their designated grade- or course-specific standards within a particular content area. The Big Picture

8. A Process, Not an Event • Multi-year Process • Built within big picture of process • Done in incremental steps over time The Big Picture

9. Big Picture Process • Take a look at the cards on your table • The bookends: • State Standards • State Assessments • Where do the others fit in the process? • Decide as a table on an order The Big Picture

11. What Pieces do we already have in place? The Big Picture

12. Unit Planning Organizer • Working document • Template for teachers • Include Support Information • Embed Items if possible instead of hyperlink. • Many items online may not be always available at the url. Save if possible. Unit Planning

13. Unwrapping a standard • What a students should know(concepts) and be able to do (skills) • Example: • 8.G.7. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions. Unwrapping • Concepts: • Pythagorean Theorem • Right triangles • Skills: • Apply • Determine

14. Blooms / Depth of Knowledge • At what level are students expected to think? • Use your Cognitive Rigor Matrix to identify both levels • Example: • 8.G.7. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions. Unwrapping • Concepts: • Pythagorean Theorem • Right triangles • Skills: • Apply • Determine • Blooms/DOK • 3/1 • 3/2

15. Vocabulary • List vocabulary that apply to the concepts and skills • Some vocabulary may not be directly in the standard itself Unwrapping

16. Your Turn • Select one unit to begin this process. • Fill in Explanation and Examples from other state documents • Use this to list concepts, skills, and vocabulary to align with selected standards • Identify the appropriate Blooms and DOK level for each skill Unit Planning
