Reportto the F-CAP Consortium on the K/1-9 Pipeline June, 2013 Ann Tollefson
What we said we would do: • Createmodel articulated pathways • K/1-9 Immersion Pathway • Secondary Early Start Pathway for grades 6/7-12 • Secondary Late Start Pathway for grades 9/10-12
For Each Pipeline: • Develop and share research, curriculum, curricular materials and other supports. -Curriculum frameworks with targeted proficiency levels for each grade. – Curricular and other supporting materials.
We also said we would: 3) Work as a consortium to develop and implement a strong professional development program for teachers in the Flagship pipelines.
We also said we would: 4) Establish an infrastructure to support and expand the Flagship consortium. - Management - Coordination - Communication - Dissemination
We also said we would: Take advantage of this unique opportunity to collect data on large numbers of students to inform and report on: • student progress • program improvement • research • reporting on F-CAP
And last, we said we would: 5) Establish K-16 partnerships to enhance the numbers and quality of students entering the Flagships. • Flagship outreach • Development of diagnostic placement assessments to articulate K-16
The Center: Proficiency • Target Proficiency goals with benchmarks defined for each grade level K-12 • Backward curriculum mapping • Proficiency testing • Data-driven decision making
Unparalleled Scope Demographics: Urban Rural East West North South Liberal Conservative K-12 Higher Ed
