OTHERS?

Have you ever tried to communicate somethingto someone and it just didn't come out right? Or perhaps you thought it came out right but they took it wrong? Why is that…? Although there

are numerous systems for explaining our behaviors and personalities,

the True Colors communication model is one of the most fun to apply!

Group norms are agreed upon ways in which we will work together so that productivity is maximized.

They are posted and reviewed (verbally and in writing) at all meetings.

Let’s work together to set the norms that our Network will abide by.

Non-Negotiable Group Norms1.Be present and be engaged in the work2.We are all equal partners in this work3.Seek first to understand, and then to be

understood others?

Think individually, write down 3 norms that you feel should be included on our list (2 minutes).

Share with your team, designate a recorder/synthesizer and share your 3 Norms and come up with a group list. Your group should be prepared to share one Norm that should be considered for our list (5 minutes).

Leadership

On a post-it note, record your definition of ‘leadership’.

As you read the article, use the window notes organizer to capture important facts, questions that arise, feelings that are evoked and ideas that you have. (You may want to jot down page numbers by these for future reference.)

Look back at your definition—revise it if desired.

Discuss the article and your definitions with your table group. What facts, feelings, questions or ideas did you share?

Be prepared to share with entire group.

State-led effort to establish consistent and clear education standards

Written by content experts, teachers, researchers and others

Nearly 10,000 comments from the public

Validation committee reviewed the standards

Each state chooses to adopt, NOT led by federal government.

The standards:

Are aligned with college and workforce expectations;

Are clear, understandable and consistent; Include rigorous content and application

of knowledge through high-order skills; Build upon strengths and lessons of

current state standards; Are informed by standards in other top

performing countries, and Are evidence-based.

Table Standard Assignments

Tables A – H: Use Writing Standard 7 (Pages 19, 21 K-5; Page 44 6-7-8; Page 46 9-10 Band and 11-12 Band) and (Page 66 – Standards for History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects 6-12)

Tables I– P Use Language Standard 5 (Pages 27, 29 K-5; Page 53 6-7-8; Page 55 9-10 Band and 11-12 Band)

1. Work with a partner to complete your table’s assigned standards progression process.

2. Using a highlighter, identify changes in the verb usage and complexity of the standard from Kindergarten through grade 12.

3. You will share findings with the entire group to illustrate how the standards work across the grades K-12.

“If the U.S. is to return to a position of leadership in college completion and prepare students for high-skills jobs in a global economy, it is essential that states, schools and higher education develop a consensus concerning the skills and knowledge required for success in college and beyond. The common core state standards are an important first step in developing this consensus with rigorous and clear criteria that will provide a road map for success in rigorous college readiness programs.”
