  20. Let’s Get S.T.A.R.T.ed Standards Transformation and Realignment in Thompson

  21. Today’s Seminar Outcomes • Understand the START Process Vision and the elements of a Rigorous Curriculum Design • Be able to articulate how this process is different from the process of recent years • Know how you will be engaged in this process as a leader

  22. School Perspective Outcomes • Know where your school is in the process now • Identify benefits of this work for your school • Predict some challenges for your school • Make connections to your roles as leaders and how we can empower your community

  23. Content Perspective Outcomes • Know where your content area is in the overall process • Have a clear plan for the work to do during district days and the work to do at the building level • Have a detailed plan for the 3 district days • Have a plan for the work to be done at the buildings in between

  24. Thompson School District Rigorous Curriculum Design

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

  26. 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 Evidence-based instructional strategies

  27. 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.

  28. 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)

  29. 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)

  30. Middle School START Process

  31. High School START Process

  32. Components of RigorousCurriculum Model • Read page 6 with school partner(s) • From the lens of your school, determine what you have in place • Share your school perspective with others at your table

  33. Break

  34. Reflect on the numbers

  35. Why Prioritize? • Organization • Clarity • Focus

  36. Priority Standards and Supporting Standards Where are we in the START process?

  37. Priority Standards and Supporting Standards

  38. Which of the following 9th grade standards would you prioritize and why? • Interpret figures of speech (e.g., euphemism, oxymoron) in context and analyze their role in the text. • Analyze how the author unfolds an analysis or series of ideas or events, including the order in which the points are made, how they are introduced and developed, and the connections that are drawn between them.

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

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

  41. David Conley – College Knowledge • Read to infer/interpret/draw conclusions • Support arguments with evidence • Resolve conflicting views encountered in source documents • Solve complex problems with no obvious answer

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

  43. Table Talk Dialogue • What did you notice about how going through this process supported your learning and ability to construct meaning?

  44. Priority Standards and Supporting Standards Each Middle School Content area finalize priority learnings by April 27, 2011

  45. Priority Standards and Supporting Standards High School courses need to be aligned with the new standards by the end of April 27, 2011.

  46. Priority Standards and Supporting Standards Priority Learnings at the high school level will commence when all the new standards have been aligned to all courses (Algebra II, Anatomy, Photography)

  47. Steps: 2-4 • RCD Step 2: Name the Units of Study • RCD Step 3: Assign the Standards: Priority and Supporting • RCD Step 4: Identify sequence of units across district

  48. RCD Step 2 RCD Step 4 RCD Step 3
