How prepared are you? How familiar are you with the following resources available to consider quality of instructional materials for ELA and Math? 4 CCSS Publishers Criteria for English Language Arts and/or Mathematics EQuip Rubrics (from Achieve, Inc) for evaluating lessons for English Language Arts and/or Mathematics Instructional Materials Evaluation Tools for English Language Arts and/or Mathematics 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Washington’s K-12 Learning Standards Landscape (CCSS-M, CCSS-ELA, EALRS, GLEs, PEs,) Washington’s Reading (2005), Writing (2005) and Math (2008) Standards Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics Adopted July, 2011 Assessed 2014-15 Washington’s English Language Development Standards (2003) 5 Next Generation English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards (ELA and Math) Adopted by WA – December 2014 Assessment Development (ELPA21): Beginning 2013-14 Anticipated Operational in 2015-16 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Washington’s K-12 Learning Standards Landscape, Continued (CCSS-M, CCSS-ELA, EALRS, GLEs, PEs,) Washington’s Science Standards (2009) Current Standards Continue as WA Considers the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) NGSS Final Spring 2013 Adopted in October 2013 Assessment of NGSS in 2016-17 or 2017-18.

It is about preparing all students for college and careers. 7 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 High School: Thinking Ahead 8 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Classroom Impact of CCSS in High School Thinking ahead Text to self: “Why do I care about this?” Reading in many contents Peer relationships Transferring skills Practicing LISTENING Content Culture Reading comprehension Reading deeply Managing learning Becoming articulate in words and media Writing foundations Leveraging funds of knowledge 9 Practices Growing language skills Discovering self Writing process in many modes 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 The Big Ideas (introduction, page 7) 11 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Anchored in the Foundations of Literacy & Communication… Reading Writing Language Speaking & Listening Literacy in SS/H Literacy in Sci/T •Building language skills for all Students 12 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 how word choice contributes to meaning and tone (RL.8.4) be able to cite textual evidence (RL.8.1) Grade 8: compare and contrast the structure of two or more texts and analyze how the different structure of each text contributes to its meaning and style (RL.8.5). support the assertions (arguments) they make in writing (W.8.1, W.8.9) 13 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Three Shifts in English Language Arts • Building content knowledge through content-rich nonfiction • Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational • Regular practice with complex text and its academic language 14 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Shift Three: Regular practice with complex text and its academic language Careful, targeted scaffolding of text complexity Focus on appropriately rigorous texts Strategic teaching of Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary with authentic application of new words and terms 15 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Shift Two: Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational Moving from “how do you feel about what you just read? Do you like it?” to “Identify three examples that let you know what the author’s purpose is. Do you agree with the author?” 16 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Shift One: Building content knowledge through content-rich nonfiction •Provides an ideal context for building language, vocabulary, knowledge, and reasoning •Is challenging, complex, and has deep comprehension-building potential •Is an opportunity for students to learn how to engage, interact, and have “conversations” with the text in ways that prepare them for the type of experiences they will encounter in college and careers. 17 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Text Complexity Model: the right text at the right time for the right reason 18 Best made by educators employing their professional judgment 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 19 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Considering Instructional Materials High School Needs and Wants! 20 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 The “How”: Guidance & Counseling Impacts of CCSS i.e. Guidance lesson alignments Content Culture i.e. school climate focus on every student being successful and supported Practices i.e. increased individual guidance support 21 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Consider a student’s schedule: 1 PER 2 PER 3 PER 4 PER 5 PER 6 PER ALGEBRA 2 SPANISH 1 LEADERSHIP H ENGLISH 9 H BIOLOGY H WORLD HISTORY ?

Revising and re-reading– grit and perseverance practice Growing into adult learners: are my students giving me enough information to help them learn? Will they be able to transfer to independence? 24 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Questions for Educators and Teams! How does this task/learning build on prior knowledge? How does this task connect with other content areas? How does this task provide access for ALL students? What do we do to support students reading below or above this level? What do we do to support students who disengage (and … why are they disengaged?) 25 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Rethinking Instructional Materials and Resources What do we mean when we talk about “instructional materials”? INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS Individual lessons and plans Formally adopted or not Teacher-created materials District-created materials/resources 26 Purchased and/or “open education resources” 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 27 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Publishers Criteria: Possible Uses Use Cases What States, Districts and Teachers Can Do Informing purchases and adoptions Ensure that instructional resource purchasing criteria and decisions are aligned to the Standards. Working with previously purchased materials Use the Publishers’ Criteria to review existing materials and adjust to improve alignment (remove or supplement). Reviewing teacherdeveloped materials and guiding their development Use the Publishers’ Criteria to support teachers in developing materials and ensure that teacherdeveloped resources are aligned. As a tool for professional development Share the Publishers’ Criteria with teachers and use it to support teacher understanding of the standards. 28 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Suite of Tools to Evaluate Alignment (Updated March 2014 – pdf Handout) 29 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Types of Tools in the Toolkit Type of Tool Used for Evaluating Instructional Materials Evaluation Tool (IMET) Comprehensive mathematics and English language arts or reading curricula in print and digital format.

Beginning of the year, students entered a class from another state, and the teacher did not have data for them. A teacher decides to give these students the previous year’s ICA to complete the data for the class. Page 44 13-14CCRWebSeriesPart4ELA_5-27-14 Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs) Sample Use Cases A teacher is providing focused instruction on opinion in grades 3-5 writing (argumentative in the higher grades). Teacher could use a block focused on opinion writing to determine degree of students’ understanding before or after the instruction. An 8th grade math team of teachers wants to be informed about how their students are doing in geometry after teaching a geometry unit.
