Let’s get started
Setting the Stage
Prior knowledge and experiences are important
to learning. However, they can both help and
hinder. Let’s explore the latter circumstance.
Considerations for Optimal Learning
Answer the following questions silently in your
mind:
• How many sides does a stop sign have?
• What two colors are on the sign?
Considerations for Optimal Learning
Answer the following questions silently in your
mind:
• How many sides does a yield sign have?
• What two colors are on the sign?
In 1971, yield signs
went from yellow and
black to red and white.
They first showed up
as a traffic sign in
1954.
The Point?
• Sometimes in learning experiences, we
fail to see something since we think we
already know it.
• New concepts are relegated to “Yellow
Yield Sign” understanding—without
really seeing the new message.
• This is particularly significant to
professional learning situations where
there is a vast continuum of participant
knowledge.
Red & White “Yield Sign Thinking”
Red & White “Yield Sign Thinking”
Contrary to past overt (and
unintended) messages about “getting
students ready for the CSTs,” the
purpose in deconstructing a CCSSaligned performance task is NOT to
prep students for an SBAC
assessment…
but to better understand end-of-year
literacy expectations.
What are end-of-year expectations for
ELA Common Core standards?

Reading - Informational Text #7 & #9
Directions:
• Read standards #7 and #9 from 6th-12th grade.
• Underline verbs and content knowledge that
indicate shifts between grades.
Discuss with a partner:
• One question I had when reading is______.
• An implication for my instruction that came to
mind is_____.
Reading #1, Writing #7 and #8
• Read the following standards at your grade
level:
– Reading #1: cite evidence
– Writing #7 and #8: research; gather information;
assess credibility
• Discuss at your table:
– How do these three standards connect with each
other?
– What is new, and what are the implications for
instruction?
Writing #1-3
• Read the following Writing standards #1-#3 at
your grade level:
– argument,
– informational/explanatory, and
– narrative
• Looking at the commonalities between the
writing standards, identify one thing that you find
difficult teaching or that students have difficulty
learning.
Think of your students.
How have the former standards and assessment
methods shaped the academic characteristics/
skills of the students in your class?
Setting the Context
The students you have in front of you…
• Fill in blanks
• Product-oriented/complete the task
• Need to find the “Right”answer
• “How long does this have to be?”
• Explicit vs. inferential reading
• One-and-done mentality
• Fixed mindset
• Risk-averse

What is an ELA performance task?
• Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC)
is developing the assessments for CA.
• Assessments are comprised of the following:
– Selected Response (multiple choice)
– Constructed Response (short answer)
– Technology Enhanced (technological interaction with
text)
– Performance Task (multiple texts/sources with
corresponding constructed responses culminating
with writing assignment—These go together!)

– Model the process for deconstruction

3. Discuss instructional implications

Let’s take a few minutes to walk through a
Smarter Balanced performance task.

that would not be included in the student copy.

• DOK does not equal a specific standard #.

• What would the 1-point exemplar response
need to add in order to receive a 2 on the

By the way…the culminating tasks vary.
Task Overview (105 total minutes):
Title: Narrating History
Part 1 (35 minutes): Ultimately tasked with writing an
historical narrative, students will read an article and two
stories and view a video, taking notes on these sources. They
will then respond to three constructed-response questions
addressing the research skills of analyzing and evaluating
information.
Part 2 (70 minutes): Students will work individually to
compose full-length historical narratives, referring to their
notes as needed. Pre-writing, drafting, and revising will be
involved.
EGUSD Grade-Level Deconstruction

deconstruct the

Grade-Level Planning
As a site, where and how will you incorporate
the end-of-grade-level CCSS expectations for
direct instruction and/or assessment (AKA
performance tasks)? (It’s NOT about having to
put the EGUSD-created tasks into the curriculum
map.)
What are your
next steps to be
able to achieve
the above?
