Why Standards Based Learning ❖To provide our students every opportunity to engage in their own learning and master the standards that are most critical ❖To allow teachers time to focus on and go deeper with the priority standards to ensure mastery

What are priority standards? ? Priority standards are those standards that are most critical in helping teachers focus their instruction for student learning.

Consider this metaphor regarding… the CCSS in relation to instructional time available?

BECAUSE… ? Teachers try to teach everything! ? Teachers prioritize on their own, and students end up with gaps and overlaps.

How about a video example:

What was the process used for prioritiz ing standards?

How were the priority standards chosen? ? 5 major criteria were taken into consideration when choosing the priority standards: ? 1. Endurance: Knowledge and skills that will last beyond a class period or course ? 2. Leverage: Knowledge and skills that cross over into many domains of learning ? 3. Readiness: Knowledge and skills important to subsequent content or courses ? 4. Teacher Judgement: Knowledge of content area and ability to identify more- important content ? Assessment: Student opportunity to learn content that will be assessed

What can you use to teach these standards? ? This allows you to be creative on how you will teach these standards to mastery. ? Curriculum is a tool, not the end all be all. You will find yourself jumping around if you choose to use this tool.

Proficiency Scales ? A rubric of sorts used to determine how much of the standard the student is proficient at and explains each level of proficiency.

Three Levels of Performance Related to Every Learning Goal: BEYOND the learning goal AT the learning goal BELOW the learning goal

Proficiency Scale 4 In addition to exhibiting level 3 performance, in-depth inferences and applications that go BEYOND what was taught in class 3 No major errors or omissions regarding any of the information and/or processes (SIMPLE OR COMPLEX) that were explicitly taught 2 No major errors or omissions regarding the SIMPLER details and processes BUT major errors or omissions regarding the more complex ideas and processes 1 With HELP, a partial knowledge of some of the simpler and complex details and processes 0 Even with help, no understanding or skill demonstrated
