  3. Objective Teachers will increase their teaching toolbox to ensure student success on modules and mastery of the Common Core standards.

  4. Common Challenge 1:Task Analysis • Challenge: Students do not fully understand the prompt or what the question is asking of them. • Students must be taught how to: • Deconstruct and internalize the prompt • Understand academic vocabulary • Best Practices: • Annotate the prompt • Diffusing • RAFT • Re-write the prompt

  5. Ensuring Student Mastery PARCC Sample Item:

  6. Common Challenge 2: Complex Text • Challenge: Students struggle to comprehend complex text. • Students must be taught how to comprehend and analyze a complex text. • Best Practices: • Essential Questions • Chunking the text • Multiple reads • Jigsaw

  7. Common Challenge 3: Academic Writing and Citing Evidence • Challenge: Students struggle with organization and citing strong evidence in academic writing. • Students must be taught how to: • Structure academic writing • Develop a claim • Cite credible information to support their claim • Best Practices: • Exemplar student writing samples • AECR

  8. AECR Strategy Can be used for either constructed response or multi-paragraph essays Great for differentiation- structured and color-coded

  9. AECR structure A = Assertion • This is the topic sentence that relates back to the thesis or answers the questions. • Here, you make an argument or state your claim. • It is a clearly stated expression of purpose. • The ASSERTION is GREEN.

  10. E = Evidence • This is the evidence from the text that supports your assertion. • Here, you back it up (not on the dance floor). • The EVIDENCE is BLUE.

  11. C = Commentary • This is the commentary on the fact that connects it to the assertion and answers the question, “so what?” • Here you explain why the evidence is important enough to prove your assertion. • You should have more yellow than blue or green in your paragraph. • The COMMENTARY is YELLOW.

  12. R= Relate • This is where you wrap it up. • Your relate should synthesize the paragraph and tell the reader how your claim supports your thesis. • The RESTATE is GREEN.

  13. Common Challenge 4:Ongoing Formative Assessment • Challenge: Teachers are unable to assess student mastery of the information until the final essay. • Teachers need multiple built-in formative assessments to assess students understanding of material and drive instruction. • Best Practices: • Assignment Check List • Exit Slips • Teacher-student conferences • Self-assessment
