  15. Making Standards Work

  16. A Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum • “Given the limited amount of time you have with your students, curriculum design has become more and more an issue of deciding what you won’t teach as well as what you will teach. You cannot do it all. As a designer, you must choose the essential.” Heidi Hayes Jacobs, 1997

  17. Identifying Power Standards • All standards are not equal in importance. • Narrow the voluminous standards and indicators by distinguishing the “essentials” from the “nice to know.” • What do students need to know for life, learning (school) and the test?

  18. Unwrapping Standards And Performance Tasks/Assessments • What are students being asked to know and do? • Writing performance tasks/assessments • Common assessments • Used as formative assessment • Connection to Data Teams

  19. Instructional Strategies • Identifying Similarities & Differences • Summarizing & Note Taking • Reinforcing Effort & Providing Recognition • Homework & Practice • Nonlinguistic Representation • Cooperative Learning • Setting Objectives & Providing Feedback • Generating & Testing Hypotheses • Cue, Questions, & Advance Organizers

  22. What The Future Can Be • “The image of the future would be a group of teachers sitting around a table talking about their students’ work, learning and asking, ‘What do we need to do differently to get the work we would like from the kids?” Dennis Sparks 1998, Executive Director of NSDC
