What if…
• You had deeper understanding of ongoing classroom instruction ?
• You could gain insight on the relationship of standards and instruction?
• You could access data on classroom instruction to guide professional development?
• You could know how well standards and assessment are aligned in your state ?
• You could use anonymous teacher data to start a powerful and reflective school discussion on instructional needs of teachers?
![Page 3: Iowa Department of Education SEC – ELL April 21, 2008 Welcome.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649de45503460f94adb4e1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Surveys of the Enacted Curriculum (SEC) provide teachers and others a comprehensive set of indicators to facilitate teacher reflection and curriculum planning. The primary purpose of the SEC data-set is to support conversations among teachers about instructional practice and content.
Survey results offer teachers an opportunity to compare their own practice with results for their school, district, and state.
Content analyses of various state standards and assessments when used in conjunction with teacher reports provide an easy and powerful means for comparing instructional content to standards and assessments.
SEC data is never used for teacher evaluations. Individual teacher responses remain confidential and teacher ID information is never reported.
SEC Overview

The teacher survey tool…
• Collects data on what content is taught and how it is taught.
• Produces reports indicating the degree of alignment between the taught (enacted) curriculum and state assessments or standards.
• Collects data on teacher beliefs, readiness to teach the content and readiness to instruct special groups of students.
• Provides a rich source of information to support teachers analysis of student learning challenges.

Fundamental Theorem of Learning
Curriculum / Instruction / Assessment/ Learning
• Students learn what is taught
• Knowledge builds upon previous knowledge and experiences
• Meaningful learning objectives have value
• Aligning instruction to intended standards increases the chance of students learning the intended learning objectives
• Assessment should inform instruction - hence learning

The SEC can help your schools…
• Align curriculum, instruction, and assessment including vertical alignment
• Improve instruction within and across grade levels,
• Determine professional development needs• Focus teacher planning and development on
instructional practice and its effects on student performance
• Focus coaching and mentoring activity around content and practice
![Page 9: Iowa Department of Education SEC – ELL April 21, 2008 Welcome.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649de45503460f94adb4e1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Help teachers monitor changes in practice as a result of implementing new curricula.
• Help teachers and leaders determine areas of need when planning for professional development.
• Help teachers see areas for deepening content expertise and knowledge of how students learn that content.
• Help teachers identify gaps/redundancies in curriculum –weak materials to support instruction

Why is your state and district participating in the project?
What do they hope to learn?
![Page 11: Iowa Department of Education SEC – ELL April 21, 2008 Welcome.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649de45503460f94adb4e1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Iowa is one of ten states to participate in the SEC - ELL Grant, an enhanced assessment grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Education to CCSSO and a consortium of states to better understand and support the achievement of English Language Learners.
![Page 12: Iowa Department of Education SEC – ELL April 21, 2008 Welcome.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649de45503460f94adb4e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
To help our ELL students, we need to better understand…
• What is the nature of the language that students need to meaningfully engage with and achieve academic content?
• Given the expected student outcome, how do we expect students to use (receive, produce) language to acquire/demonstrate understanding of the content?
• What are the language demands and complexity of our state content standards?
• What do our state content standards require in their language complexity and demands?
![Page 13: Iowa Department of Education SEC – ELL April 21, 2008 Welcome.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649de45503460f94adb4e1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
To help our ELL students, we need to better understand…
• The specific state standards our ELL students are being taught.
• The instructional strategies and activities being used to help ELL students learn the content.
• The degree to which regular education teachers are providing support for the language development of their ELL students.
• The degree to which the language proficiency skills aligned align to state ELA content standards?
![Page 14: Iowa Department of Education SEC – ELL April 21, 2008 Welcome.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649de45503460f94adb4e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Iowa is focusing on a subset of the grant questions:
• To what extent do English language learners have opportunity to learn the subject content specified in state academic standards that are assessed on state assessments?
• What instructional practices and strategies are used to teach academic English language skills within content areas or courses?
• What is the relationship between the extent of alignment of instruction and the Iowa English Language Proficiency Standards and Iowa content standards?
• What is the relationship between the extent of alignment of instruction and student assessment?
• What is the relationship between the Iowa English Language Proficiency Standards and the Iowa Core Curriculum in Literacy, Mathematics, and Science?
![Page 15: Iowa Department of Education SEC – ELL April 21, 2008 Welcome.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649de45503460f94adb4e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What can Iowa educators gain from participating
in the Surveys?
![Page 16: Iowa Department of Education SEC – ELL April 21, 2008 Welcome.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649de45503460f94adb4e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
School and district leaders can…
• Identify the extent to which instruction is aligned to state standards and assessments
• Understand what instructional activities and strategies are being used in classrooms
• Compare the strategies used in classrooms with ELL students to strategies used in classrooms without ELL students.
![Page 17: Iowa Department of Education SEC – ELL April 21, 2008 Welcome.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649de45503460f94adb4e1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
School and district leaders can…
• Identify the extent to which language proficiency standards are aligned to language proficiency assessments
• Identify alignment of language complexity and demand in content standards
• Identify priority needs for professional development
![Page 18: Iowa Department of Education SEC – ELL April 21, 2008 Welcome.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649de45503460f94adb4e1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Teachers can…• Identify the extent to which what they teach is
aligned with state standards and assessments• Better understand what they need to be
teaching more or less• See how their instructional practices compare
to other teachers in their school or district• Identify the language complexity and demand
of the standards they teach• Identify priority needs for professional
development
