  2. Welcome

  3. Framing the Work There is nothing permanent except change. Heraclitus The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy.Martin Luther King, Jr There is no such thing as making the miracle happen spontaneously and on the spot. You’ve got to work. Martina Arroyo The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials. Confucius We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are. Anais Nin Ain’tnothin’ to it but to do it. Maya Angelou

  4. Session Objectives Learn strategies for implementing Common Core ELA Instructional Shifts. Apply strategies learned to your classroom context. Start portfolio and case study work. Create collaborative space for learning.

  5. Introductions

  6. Partner Introductions • Choose one person to work with for this exercise. • The first partner should discuss the following questions: • Where do you work? • What is your current role? What grade(s) do you teach? • Describe what makes your students this year different from other groups you’ve taught. What makes this group unique? Are their any individual students you have who stand out for you? In what ways? • When time is called, the second partner should begin. • At the end of the exercise, each person will introduce his or her partner to the full group.

  7. Common Core Instructional Shifts: ELA/ Literacy • Knowledge in • the Disciplines • Staircase of Complexity • Text-based • Answers • Writing from Sources Slide adapted from Engage NY presentation: http://engageny.org/resource/common-core-shifts/

  8. Parking Lot • Write down your questions and issues on the post-it notes provided throughout the sessions and “park” them in the Parking Lot charts on the walls of the room. • I will work at answering them during and after the session. Slide adapted from a presentation by Liz Irwin, AUSSIE Consultant.

  9. Hopes and Fears Protocol (Mc Donald, Mohr, Dichter, Mc Donald, 2007) Slide adapted from a presentation by Liz Irwin, AUSSIE Consultant.

  10. Hopes Fears

  11. Setting Norms

  12. At your tables, brainstorm norms for this setting… • Consider group norms that foster trust, respect, and safety • Consider use of “air sticks” or other method to allow all voices in the discussion • Consider how or if you would like to communicate in between sessions

  13. Break (one-function)

  14. Addressing Common Core ELA Instructional Shifts Using Institute for Learning’s Patterned Way of Reading, Writing, and Talking

  15. Accessing Complex Texts… • What does it mean to “access” complex texts? • What strategies do you currently use to support students in accessing complex texts?

  16. Using IFL’s Patterned Way to Access Complex Texts… • How, if at all, might this framework support students in meeting the expectations of Common Core? • In particular, how might this help student access complex texts and meet Common Core expectations? • How, if at all, might this work influence your own practice?

  17. Free-Write/Free-Think • Think about the texts you are currently using in your classroom. Ask: Which texts are worthy of this kind of close reading? • How might I use or adapt this framework for my classroom? If I were to teach with this framework next week, what texts would I use? What resources would I need to obtain or create? What other supports would I need to try this?

  18. Argumentative Writing

  19. Case Study Students and Portfolio
