ACTIVITY
• As a team, create an graphic representation that shows the relationship between standards, assessments, results and instruction.
• ONLY USE THE FOUR WORDS
ASSESSMENTS
,
STANDARDS
,
RESULTS
AND
INSTRUCTION in your graphic!

WHERE DOES COLLABORATION FIT?

DATA TEAMS
• A collaborative process-
• (Not the initiative of the month)
• Of ongoing collaborative conversations
• Which revolve around the analysis of targeted collected data
• To improve instructional success
• Instructional success is defined by student achievement
• Ongoing collaborative conversations to analyze targeted data to improve student achievement.

VISUALIZE
• Your school site
• Effective classroom on your school site

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU REMOVE?
If we remove Standards from our graphic, what happens to the effectiveness of your model?

• RCD is the vehicle for the Common Core State
Standards
• The collaboration process of Data Teams allow RCD
to be effective.
• As completed units of study come into play, Data
Teams will support the collaborative process that is foundational for achievement to take place.
• To understand this we must first understand the RCD
process.

UNWRAPPING THE STANDARDS
• What: Analyzing and deconstructing gradelevel and course specific standards
• Why: To determine exactly what students need to know (concepts) and be able to do
(skills)
• How: Underline the concepts (nouns or noun phrases) and circle the skills that students must do (verbs)

5.2.3 RECOGNIZE main ideas presented in texts and PROVIDE evidence that supports those ideas.
5.2.4 DRAW inferences, conclusions, or generalizations about text and
SUPPORT them with textual evidence and prior knowledge.
5.2.5 CONTRAST facts, supported inferences, and opinions in text.

TEACHABLE CONCEPTS FROM
“UNWRAPPED” PRIORITY STANDARDS

“UNWRAPPED” SKILLS
BLOOM’S TAXONOMY LEVELS
( 2, 4 ) RECOGNIZE (main idea)
( 4, 5 ) PROVIDE (supporting evidence)
( 2, 4 ) CONTRAST (facts, supported inferences, opinions)
( 4 ) DRAW (inferences, conclusions, generalizations)
( 5 ) SUPPORT (inferences/conclusions w/ text evidence, prior knowledge)
• How You USE the skill is what
• determines its level of rigor.

• “
Unwrapping” deepens the understanding of grade level standards allowing for aligned instruction.

YOUR TURN…
Unwrap the standard:
Grade 5 – Numbers and Operations in Base Ten
• 5.NBT.3a - Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.

• Create a daily formative assessment used to inform instruction prior to your performance task

WE NEED THE RIGHT ASSESSMENT
TO MOVE US THROUGH THE RIVER
OF CHANGE & IMPROVEMENT?

DATA TEAM REMINDERS
 Effective Data Team: common standard, common assessment, and common scoring guide/rubric.
 It is the scoring guide that will drive deep analysis and answer keys will support item analysis.
 Provide Feedback to improve
Instruction and student learning

• Purposeful assessments not only measure the impact but also the innovation that cause change in student learning.
• Effective assessment procedures and use of the associated data are fundamental to a school’s continuing achievement and improvement.
