  20. Thompson School District Rigorous Curriculum Design

  21. Think-Write-Pair-Share A rigorous curriculum is….

  22. Rigorous Curriculum Defined A rigorous curriculum is an inclusive set of the following intentionally aligned components organized into sequenced units of study: Clear learning outcomes Matching assessments Engaging learning experiences Instructional strategies

  23. Rigorous Curriculum Defined A rigorous curriculum 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.

  24. A Rigorous Curriculum Design Supports the Robust Learning Cycle • What do all students need to know and be able to do? (Standards) • How do we teach so that all students learn? (Instruction) • How will we know if they have learned it? (Assessment) • What will we do if they don’t know or come to us already knowing? (Differentiation and Enrichment)

  25. Blending the Old with the New Page 5: Highlight with three colors— • Color 1: efficacy/confidence (independent) • Color 2: have some skill (instructional) • Color 3: will need help (frustration)

  26. Elementary START Process

  27. Setting the Stage Objectives: • Understand an overview of Rigorous Curriculum Design (RCD) in Thompson School District • Begin planning for school-based training

Explain how specific aspects of a text’s specific illustration contribute to what is conveyed by the words of the story

  33. Whole Group How did you determine which standard is a priority?

  34. Filters • Endurance • Leverage • Readiness for the next level of learning • Standardized test emphasis

  35. Activity Page 14-15 • Individually identify three priority standards • Come to consensus for the top three as a table group

  36. Priority Standards and Supporting Standards Where are we in the START process? Finalize Priority Learnings April 18th Liaison Meeting District will name Units of Study/Themes (start with Reading)

  37. Steps: 2-4 • Step 2: Name the Units of Study (district) • Step 3: Assign the Standards: Priority and Supporting (building) • Step 4: Preparing a Pacing Calendar (building)

  38. Say Something • Find a partner • Silently read each section of pages 16-21 • After each section take turns commenting on the section

  39. Working Lunch

  40. Welcome Back! • How might you summarize step 2 with Partner 1? • How might you summarize step 3 with Partner 2? • How might you summarize step 4 with Partner 3?

  41. Step 5: Construct the Unit Planning Organizer • Look at pages 24-27 • Which areas might be important to include on the district template? • District will provide a common template • District will define learning progression and assign standards (process TBD)

  42. Designing the Curricular Unit of Study-12 Steps • Look at page 30 • Jigsaw p.31-34 • 6 people at table • each person take two sections • share with group

  43. START (Blue Bar #1) • Identify Big Ideas/Enduring Understandings & Skills/Essential Questions/Key Vocabulary • Look at p. 49 to get an overview of a sample unit planning organizer

  44. Big Ideas, p. 43 • Determine 3-4 foundational understandings for each unit • Complete sentences, not phrases • Big ideas convey to students the benefit of the learning of the standard (life-long learning) • Three types: broad, topical, or both

  45. Enduring Understandings & Skills, p.35 • Understanding by Design • What do we want students to know and be able to do? • Unpacking the standards • finding the nouns and verbs

  46. Essential Questions • Big Idea: Literary devices enhance and deepen fictions impact upon the reader • As a table group discuss how you might turn this big idea into an essential question

  47. Essential Questions, cont. Look at pages 44-46 with a partner and determine the characteristics of good essential questions and discuss the samples

  48. Key Vocabulary, p.71 Specific academic or technical vocabulary
