  8. Professional Development Topic:  What Can Student Writing Tell You? Looking at Writing Through a New LensTime:  9:00 - 3:30Some districts/regions have asked for a book title that might accompany this professional development for further study. We suggest Writing for Understanding.http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Understanding-The-Vermont-Collaborative/dp/1934685054Spring ELA Region 2: February 7

  9. Mathematics http://wikicentral.ncdpi.wikispaces.net/NCDPI+WikiCentral The Seven C’s of CCSSM: Professional Development for Math professional development to support secondary math teachers in implementing the NCSCOS, based on the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. 2 – day institutes for Math I and II Training to be offered will take place on February 20-21 at the NC TeleCenter (Williamston) and will cover Math II. On March 10-11 the Math I Institute will be held at Johnston Workforce Development Center, Clayton DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION SUBMISSION IS 5:00 PM FEBRUARY 10 ,

  10. EOC & NC Final Exams 2013-14 • Math I – EOC – all students in 1st HS Math • Math II, Math III, CC Integrated Math III • 2003 AND CC Geometry • 2003 AND CC Algebra II • 2003 Discrete, 2003 AFM, & 2003 Pre-Calculus

  11. 2014-15 Math Courses Math I, II, III Advanced Functions and Modeling Discrete Pre-Calculus Appropriate AP/IB courses SREB College Ready Course Various Community College Math Courses

  12. SREB Course Information • Can be included (participation 2014-15) in course guides for 2014-15, but realize addendums may have to be issued for registration due to printing deadlines. • Training dates and locations forthcoming for summer. • Units of study available for teachers.

  13. North Carolina Read to Achieve • Developmental Screening and Kindergarten Entry Assessment (2014-2015) • 5 essential domains • Language and literacy, cognition and general knowledge, approaches toward learning, physical well-being and motor development, social and emotional development • Early language, literacy, math within 30 days http://www.livebinders.com/play/play/850102

  14. Any of the following options may be used to satisfy the requirements of the Read to Achieve law: The Student: 1. Passes the North Carolina Grade 3 End-of-Grade English Language Arts/Reading Test. 2. Achieves a scale score of at least 442 on the NC Grade 3 Beginning-of-Grade English Language Arts/Reading Test. 3. Meets the requirements of the portfolio as defined in law. 4. Passes the state developed Read to Achieve alternative assessment. 5. Passes the State Board of Education approved LEA alternative assessment.

  15. Beginning of Grade 3 Assessment • Scale score of 442 or higher – have met the reading comprehension requirements specified in Read to Achieve • These students’ proficient scores will count for performance in accountability for 2013-14; however, these students will have to take the End-of-Grade 3 English Language Arts/Reading Test at the end of the school year for inclusion in the growth analysis

  16. Portfolio • The portfolio is not required for all students • Those who have met requirements for Read to Achieve on the BOG • Those students not yet on grade-level, except as an instructional tool when utilizing the three selections identified for that purpose. • Others as determined by the individual child’s needs

  17. Read to Achieve Alternative test • There are three opportunities to administer the SBE Read to Achieve alternative test: • (1) after the end-of-grade test, • (2) after summer reading camp, and • (3) at mid-year promotion in the 3/4 transition class.

  18. Limited English Proficient students (less than 2 yrs of ESL instruction) • Students with disabilities (Extended Content Standards; NCEXTEND2) • Student portfolio demonstrating proficiency • Students receiving reading intervention or who have been retained more than once in grades K - 3

  19. Process of Retention Student is retained after 3rd grade 3rd/4th transition class (classroom designed to meet 4th grade performance standard while continuing to remediate areas of reading deficiency) –within class Accelerated reading class (instructional supports provided to increase a student's reading level at least two grade levels) - pull out OR Opportunity for Mid-Year promotion by passing the Read to Achieve test of reading comprehension or Student Reading Portfolio by November 1. Proficient? YES NO Retention Label remains – intensive reading support continues and teacher begins grade 4 portfolio (school based team may consider placement options) Retention Label removed – student continues in 4th grade curriculum with intensive reading support 4th grade Student Portfolio is used to show proficiency and have retention label removed; and then completes 4th grade EOG Completes 4th grade EOG Principal Authority on Proficiency NO YES Retention/Promotion based on Principal's decision Student promoted to 5th grade

  26. NC Education Moodle https://center.ncsu.edu/nc/login/index.php • The NC Education site is the online platform that the agency is using for LEAs to submit their work. • Each Individual Assigned To Upload MUST Have A NC Education Login. • Only those individuals in Cohort I will be given assess. Once you have a Login, type in your information and Login to NC Education. If you do not have a Login click this button to create one.

  27. Student Achievement Summit on Reading and Math Who: C and I leaders and one person Where: Embassy Suites in Greensboro When: TBD due to inclement weather on January 29-30 • Discussion of ways to improve student performance in ELA and Mathematics • Guidance/Planning in some requested areas • Opportunity to collaborate with other districts around how they are addressing some initiatives/challenges • Clarity on some state initiatives
