this fall… what matters most
You will need:
• Grade 3 and 8 Sample Items
• Grade K-3, 9 ELA and Math Standards
9
P-2 ELA
•
Select one Sample Assessment Item from grade 3
•
With the grade 3 standards open in front of you, discuss that item and its
annotation with your colleague. What is it measuring? What choices did
the item writer make?
•
Trace one of those measured standards backwards to grade 2, 1, K. What
is happening in those grades in that same standards? What is the work of
K-2 and how does it build?
•
Focus now on 1st grade. Using the sample item in grade 3 as a model, how
would you measure student knowledge/ skill in that standard in 1st grade.
•
What are the therefores for instruction based on your analysis of this
particular standard?
•
Where are your therefores in the p-2 ela shifts as articulated by CK?
10
Back up the chain…
Trace that same standard up to 8th grade.
Look at the 8th grade sample items and see
how it plays out in those questions.
What are the instructional implications?
