to teachers Provide a common language, structure,
and process for curriculum implementation
Align the written, the taught, and the tested curriculum
04/19/2311
What is Curriculum? With your group on poster paper answer
the following--
What does curriculum mean to you?
Post It
Share & Discuss in Group
04/19/2312
Question Does Curriculum change?
Why or why not?
04/19/2313
Three BIG IdeasCurriculum is about Communication – ongoing conversations Customization – making it our own Connection – cumulative effects
04/19/2314
The forces are demanding: New TEKS New tests New standards New teachers New graduation plans
04/19/2315
Student Learning Issues Missing learning
Incomplete learning
Inaccurate learning
Competing learning
04/19/2316
Let’s think about a TAKS item Why would so many students miss this
item? How can this be a curriculum issue? How can this be a staff issue? How do you know the difference?
04/19/2317
The School Factors that Affect Student Learning Guaranteed and viable curriculum
Challenging goals and effective feedback
Parent and community involvement
Safe and orderly environment
Collegiality and professionalism
Robert Marzano, What Works in Schools
04/19/2318
What does it mean? Guaranteed Viable
04/19/2319
Guaranteed Viable Curriculum Opportunity to Learn
If students do not have the opportunity to learn the content expected of them, there is little chance that they will.
Time Given the massive amount of content to be taught, we don’t
have time in our busy school calendars for redundancies.
04/19/2320
Student groups General education
Struggling Excelling
Supplementary Education Special Education English Language Learners
04/19/2321
Marzano’s Action Steps
1. Identify & communicate the essential content for all students
2. Ensure that the essential content can be addressed in the amount of time available for instruction
3. Sequence and organize the content to provide ample opportunity to learn
4. Ensure teachers address the essential content
5. Protect the instructional time available

A Systemic Curriculum ModelUnderlying Assumptions
Student achievement can only be increased if students master the student expectations delineated in the TEKS.
The TEKS alone do not give enough specificity to teachers.
The only way to ensure that all students have access to this curriculum is to standardize the content and assessments.

Difference between CurriculumCurriculum and Instruction
Why
HowWhat
When
Curriculum
Instruction
04/19/2329
The WHATWHAT - the “stuff”
TEKS(Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills)
04/19/2330
The WHATWHAT What we want students to know and be able to do
Content Standards clearly articulated
Skills Standards appropriately applied
The Verbs Identify, Describe, Explain, Compare, Analyze, Evaluate Application / Analysis / Synthesis / Evaluation (Bloom)
04/19/2331
The WHY
The performance standard
What we want the student to do with ‘the stuff’
What we expect the students to do at the end of the unit of instruction
Performance indicators and unit tests
04/19/2332
The WHENWHEN
The Sequence ensures all student expectations
are taught to the appropriate rigor
Timeframe when each concept will be
taught
04/19/2333
The HOW The instruction
What the teacher will do to teach
Instructional activities What the students will be doing to learn
04/19/2334
Difference Between Curriculum and Instruction (Crain)
What (SCOPE) The stuff Knowledge and skills
Why What we want the kids to do with the stuff Performance Indicator
When (SEQUENCE) Sequence and duration of instruction
How Instruction component How do we design instructional activities so that students learn the
stuff and are able to perform at the level indicated in the performance indicator?
04/19/2335
CENTRALIZEDTESTING
CENTRALIZEDCURRICULUM
TIGHT FIT (no slack)
Slack in the System (Fenwick English)
Requires
SLACK is the presence of “space” within the three elements of quality control that creates ambiguity and erodes a tight linkage between the three elements
04/19/2336
Aren’t the TEKS good enough?
04/19/2337
TEKS and the Curriculum So, do the TEKS provide all that we need to know in
order to create a guaranteed viable curriculum?
Can the TEKS be the curriculum?
Would a first year teacher know what to teach from just looking at the TEKS?
Do the TEKS alone tell us how they will be tested on TAKS?
04/19/2338
TEKS
The TEKS are a framework for curriculum development. They were NEVER intended to be the curriculum.
The TEKS lack specificity.
The TEKS are not sequenced into units of instruction
TEKS statements have including and such as statements for a few TEKS.
04/19/2339
5th Grade Science 39 Student Expectations
*Unique Examples
04/19/2340
6th Grade Math 35 Student Expectations
*Unique Examples
04/19/2341
ELA and Punctuation What should be taught if the TEKS said …
1st Grade-Use basic punctuation. 4th Grade-Punctuate correctly to clarify and
enhance meaning. 8th Grade-Punctuate correctly to clarify and
enhance meaning.
04/19/2342
Punctuation Marks Period (2 rules) Question mark (3
rules) Comma (23 rules) Colon (4 rules) Semicolon (6 rules) Apostrophe (2 rules)
Quotation marks (9 rules)
Hyphen (7 rules) Dash (4 rules) Parentheses Brackets Ellipsis dots
04/19/2343
True Alignment Every student expectation should have an
including statement.
We need the specificity to be sure that everyone understands their responsibilities in the TEKS and gets to the heart of the curriculum for student learning.
04/19/2344
What do teacher bring to the teaching and learning environment? Instruction Different levels of success Different levels of content knowledge Knowledge of students Resources Accommodation Differentiation

teachers a deeper understanding of what is to be taught
Lead conversations about how the curriculum standards are integrated and supported.
Ensure that the level of rigor presented in the standard is being implemented
04/19/2353
How do school leaders use the Vertical Alignment Documents? Content clarity Backload TAKS items Scope Teacher content knowledge START HERE and stay here for a while!
04/19/2354
VADS What are they? TEKS specificity True alignment
When alignment is possible Clarification when alignment is not possible
04/19/2355
Explore – sample VAD documents Verbs Topics Bulleted items Notes Shading
04/19/2356
Can you find parts that are new?
What did I not know was in my grade content?
What specificity helped me evaluate what I have been doing?
Can you find parts that you have done well?
What is tested? What does the color coding mean?
04/19/2357
VAD Activity Use item analysis and released test items
locate the SE/specificity what other SEs does the item measure?
What do we have lots of resources to teach/few resources?
What do my kids just not get?

to: Monitor instructional pacing by grade levels
and departments Communicate with parents about the scope
and sequence of the curriculum Plan regularly with teachers to ensure proper
pacing. Ensure availability of resources
04/19/2362
How do school leaders use the Year at Glance? Pacing Teaching before TAKS Sequence District Resources and sharing Mix and match within 12 weeks
04/19/2363
Year at a Glance Activity Highlight my favorite units to teach Circle new units Let’s look at pacing
Do we do this at a different time? If we have 12 weeks at a time, how can we
make CSCOPE work for that difference? (think in 12 week chunks)
Love units > new Love units

CSCOPE Components Instructional Focus Documents
Six weeks bundles that organize the specified student expectations into logical units
04/19/2366
Instructional Focus Documents The TEKS are not organized for instructional
delivery. Arranged in strands, NOT coherent units of instruction Not arranged on a time-line
Instructional Focus Documents place TEKS in a coherent, rational sequence of instruction Indicate the TEKS and the specificity that will be
addressed in the instructional unit Refocus teacher planning time Ensure learning to performance indicators Provide rationale
04/19/2367
How can we teach so much? Bundling of the TEKS Organized into coherent sets of material Organized so taught before the test Evaluate any units that you currently do
that no longer fit … gain time
