Paradigm Shift: Central Approach to Standards-Based Instruction
Standards-Based Instruction EVERY CHILD SUCCEEDS THROUGH: Educatorswho exhibit a deep level of content knowledge Educatorswho demonstrate effective instructional decision-making School Teamsthat use a data inquiry process to address standards-based instruction School & district leaders who create conditions to support instruction OUTCOMES INSTRUCTION COLLABORATION STRUCTURE CONTENT Framework for Effective Teaching (e.g. Observation Data, SPS, Professionalism) School Leadership Framework Student Outcomes (e.g. iTasks/iUnits, Interims, Team- and Teacher-Created Assessments) LOOKS LIKE: MEASURED BY: Results-Based PD ACHIEVED THROUGH: Curricular Resources Support Partners
Support Strategy/PD: Standards-Based Instruction The Paradigm Shift • Schools can: • Choose their path to Standards-Based Instruction • (with support and progress monitoring from IS/EDs) • Have data aligned to clear outcomes for standards-based instruction • Make more informed, site-based decisions about what PD is needed • (with manager guidance when appropriate) PATHS for Standards-Based Instruction • Paths will be differentiated and will include: • Content Deep Dives • Standards-based Instruction Toolkit • Standards Scope and Sequence Documents • Teacher Leadership Academy (Collaborative team leader) • Classroom Assessment cohorts (including Short Cycle Assessments) • Literacy Design collaborative (6th-12thSocial Studies and Science only) • OTHER Year-long study opportunities - TBD for certain schools Commitments to Schools • Design differentiated PD offerings • Align all PD to Frameworks (Leadership and Effective Teaching) • Help schools reach clearly defined outcomes • Be collaborative • Embed technology, best practices for ELLs, and data inquiry throughout • Be results-based, small group, social, and as learner-directed as possible
