To build a coherent system of:
• college ready standards and aligned assessments• tools to help teachers implement those standards • highly engaging and student-centered delivery systems
All of these systems are designed to strengthen teacher effectiveness and improve student learning.
College Ready Work – Initiative Mission
Develop prototype diagnostic and intervention tools that are aligned to the common core standards, pilot these in real time, test their reliability and validity, and implement these more broadly in traditional and new learning environments
Near-term Focus (one to two years)

Types of Partners
• Core Design - primarily organizational partners• Co-develop, Pilot and Study - small group of states and
districts; networks and organizational partners • Implementation and Dissemination - larger group of state and
districts; networks and organizational partners
Remember this is not a static list; partners will evolve over time…

Formative Assessment
At the heart of the foundation’s math strategy is…
The Big Idea of Formative Assessment
April 13, 2023
Marnie Thompson and Dylan Wiliam, 2008
Students and teachers
Using evidence of learning
To adapt teaching and learning
To meet immediate learning needs
Minute-to-minute and day-by-day
Five Key Ingredients of Formative Assessment
April 13, 2023
Engineer discussion
Give feedback to students
Students learn from each other
Make the purpose and criteria for success explicit
Students take responsibility for their own learning

Math Formative Assessment Tools
Design and Develop Formative Assessment Lesson for Grades 7-10
• Are designed to be embedded in math courses• Enable the teacher use formative assessments in the
classroom • Encourage teachers to use formative assessment daily
Lessons:
April 13, 2023
Two Types of Formative Assessment Lessons
• Conceptual Knowledge Lessons• Problem Solving Lessons
All lessons use formative assessment, but there are two distinct types of lessons:
April 13, 2023
• Students work individually on an assessment task for about 15 minutes
• Teachers collect and analyze the student work, write informal comments and ask questions, but do not score the student’s work
On a day prior to teaching either type of lesson:
April 13, 2023
Teaching a Formative Assessment Lesson focused on Conceptual Knowledge:• Teachers ask students to engage in a collaborative activity,
one carefully designed to expose and challenge students’mistakes and misconceptions specific to the initial assessment
• Teachers facilitate a whole class discussion
• Students are given back their work on the initial assessment along with their teacher’s feedback
• Students use their teacher’s feedback and all of what they learned during the collaborative activity to perfect their response to the initial assessment

Tasks
April 13, 2023
“The real accountability system is in the tasks that students are asked to do.”
What was different in the four classrooms was what students were actually being asked to do, and the degree to which the teacher was able to engage students in the work by scaffolding their learning up to the complexity of the task she was asking them to do.

What is the LDC Framework?A literacy framework, aligned to the Common Core Standards,
that undergirds the content of core subjects
• Template Tasks are purpose-specific collections of fill-in-the blank tasks with the CCS hard-wired in. Teachers determine the content, including reading text, writing product and theme/topic for their task.
• Template Modules support the planning of teaching the writing and reading skills necessary for students to succeed on a task. They create a common language and specifications for capturing and sharing literacy instruction, but are flexible in allowing for a large variety of instructional approaches.
• Module Combinations and Courses that can ground content in college- and career-ready literacy instruction. Modules can be used in a variety of ways to create new courses or as components of existing courses.
What is the underlying LDC strategy?
April 13, 2023
Align with Common Core Standards
Distribute responsibility for teaching, reading and writing
Make tasks central
Connect reading and writing instruction
Use back-mapping
Foster a responsive system
Encourage local choice
Strive to be teacher-friendly

Sample Template TasksArgumentation TasksAnalysis Templates
Task 1 Template (L1, L2, L3): After researching ______(informational texts) on _________(content), write an __________ (essay or substitute) that argues your position, pro or con, on_____ (content). Support your position with evidence from your research. L2 Be sure to acknowledge competing views. L3 Give examples from past or current events or issues to illustrate, clarify, and support your position.
Example: Task SS (L1, 2, 3): After researching academic articles on censorship, write an editorial that argues your position, pro or con, on the use of filters by schools. Support your position with evidence from your research. Be sure to acknowledge competing views. Give examples from past or current events or issues to illustrate, clarify, and support your position.
Task 2 Template (L1, L2, L3): [Insert essential question]. After reading _____ (literature or informational texts), write an _________(essay or substitute) that addresses the question and support your position with evidence from the text(s). L2 Be sure to acknowledge competing views. L3 Give examples from past or current events or issues to illustrate and clarify your position.
Example: Task 2 SCI (Argumentative/Analysis L1,2,3): Does genetic testing have the potential to significantly impact how we treat disease? After reading scientific sources, write a report that addresses the question and support your position with evidence from the texts. L2 Be sure to acknowledge competing views. L3 Give examples from past or current events or issues to illustrate and clarify your position.

Sample Template TasksArgumentation Tasks (continued)Comparison Template Task Template 4 (L1): [Insert essential question] After reading _____ (literature or
informational texts), write an _______ (essay or substitute) that compares _____ (content) and argues _____(content). Be sure to support your position with evidence from the text(s).
Example: Task SS (L1): Do Presidential policies really make a difference in the lives of Americans? After reading primary and secondary sources, write an essay that compares John F. Kennedy’s New Frontier social policies and Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society social policies and argues which had a more significant impact on Americans. Be sure to support your position with evidence from the text(s).

What are educators saying? The template gives you an overarching theme in terms of what literacy looks like. I still have to meet my state’s core standards, so I still have to teach to those, but it allows me to have more focus on the writing component. – Tony, world history teacher, Midwood High School, Brooklyn, NY
It is not just reading in isolation or writing in isolation. It’s putting them together to create independent ideas on the part of the student, which I think is phenomenal. – Sarah, English teacher, Northwestern High School, Hyattsville, MD
The LDC module is a good step in allowing students to do more for themselves. – Gary, secondary literacy specialist, Kenton County Schools, KY
