Refining Our Approach
You and your
teachers gave
us feedback:
We have
learned new
things about
new Standards
(CCSS, CAS, and
ELD) and
Assessments
(PARCC) over
the last year:
• 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
• 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
EVERY CHILD SUCCEEDS THROUGH:
OUTCOMES
LOOKS LIKE:
CONTENT
INSTRUCTION
COLLABORATION
STRUCTURE
Educators
who exhibit a
deep level of
content
knowledge
Educators
who demonstrate
effective
instructional
decision-making
School Teams
that 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)
MEASURED BY:
Framework for Effective Teaching
(e.g. Observation Data, SPS, Professionalism)
School Leadership Framework
ACHIEVED
THROUGH:
Results-Based PD
Curricular Resources
Support Partners
The Paradigm
Shift
Schools 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)
PATHS for StandardsBased Instruction
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
Commitments to
Schools
Support Strategy/PD: Standards-Based Instruction
•
•
•
•
•
•
Design differentiated PD offerings
Align all PD to Frameworks (Leadership and Effective Teaching)
Help schools reach clearly defined outcomes

Embed technology, best practices for ELLs, and data inquiry throughout
Be results-based, small group, social, and as learner-directed as possible
