Initial Planning for 13/14

Refining Our Approach

You and your teachers gave us

feedback:

• You want clearer roles and guidance for implementing professional learning in your school

• You want more time to work with and learn from colleagues

• You want more differentiation

We have learned new things about new

Standards (CCSS, CAS, and ELD) and

Assessments (PARCC) over the last year:

• Expected rigor of content• Areas of primary focus from standards underlying the

assessment maps• Teacher and student fluency of technology is both

exciting and alarming

Paradigm Shift:Central Approach to Standards-Based Instruction

Standards-Based Instruction

LOOKS LIKE:

MEASURED BY:

OUTCOMES

CONTENT INSTRUCTION COLLABORATION STRUCTURE

Educatorswho exhibit a deep level of

content knowledge

Educatorswho

demonstrate effective

instructional decision-making

School Teamsthat use a data inquiry process

to address standards-

based instruction

School & district leaders

who create conditions to

support instruction

Student Outcomes(e.g. iTasks/iUnits, Interims, Team- and Teacher-Created Assessments)

ACHIEVEDTHROUGH:

Results-Based PDCurricular Resources

Support Partners

EVERY CHILD SUCCEEDS THROUGH:

Framework for Effective Teaching (e.g. Observation Data, SPS, Professionalism)

School Leadership Framework

Support Strategy/PD: Standards-Based InstructionSchools can:

• Choose their path to Standards-Based Instruction (with support and progress monitoring from IS/EDs) • Have data aligned to clear outcomes for standards-based instruction• Make more informed, site-based decisions about what PD is needed (with manager guidance when appropriate)

• Design differentiated PD offerings • Align all PD to Frameworks (Leadership and Effective Teaching)• Help schools reach clearly defined outcomes• Be collaborative• Embed technology, best practices for ELLs, and data inquiry throughout• Be results-based, small group, social, and as learner-directed as possible

Paths will be differentiated and will include: • Content Deep Dives • Standards-based Instruction Toolkit • Standards Scope and Sequence Documents• Teacher Leadership Academy (Collaborative team leader)• Classroom Assessment cohorts (including Short Cycle Assessments)• Literacy Design collaborative (6th-12th Social Studies and Science only)• OTHER Year-long study opportunities - TBD for certain schools
