  1. Welcome! MCPS Curriculum 2.0 What is it? How will it help your child? Why now? What can you expect? WoodlinElementarySchool • September 2012

  2. New Internationally-driven standards in mathematics, reading, and writing. • Renewed focus on teaching the whole child. • Integrates thinking, reasoning, and creativity for a lifetime of learning. What is MCPS Curriculum 2.0?

  3. New internationally-driven standards in mathematics, reading, and writing • Developed by a group of states to help U.S. students compete favorably with peers in leading academic nations. • More challenging than current Maryland standards. • Greater emphasis on depth of understanding at the elementary level in mathematics, reading, and writing. • Learn more at corestandards.org

  4. Elementary Integrated Curriculum Standards =Common Core State Standards =Maryland Common Core State Curriculum Standards

  5. The Standards define what all students are expected to know and be able to do, not how teachers should teach. Common Core State Standards For English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects

  6. What is MCPS Curriculum 2.0?

  7. EIC: Same & Different

  8. Reading: Same & Different

  9. What’s the same in writing? • 6+1 Traits of Writing • Writing process • Three purposes for writing • Writing Workshop structure • Writing in journals

  10. What’s different in writing? • EIC aligned to Common Core State Standards • Writing in response to content stimuli • Topic choice for writing often suggested • Up to three writing purposes in every marking period • Writing in response to literature and art • Integration with information literacy • Purposes for writing (opinion, narrative informational/explanatory) • Indicators sequenced by week

  11. MCPS and CCSS Strand Comparison

  12. Mathematics: Same & Different

  13. Intertwined Strands of Mathematical Proficiency Applying Computing Reasoning Engaging Understanding

  14. Common Core State Standards Mathematical Practices

  15. Understanding Going Deeper:

  16. Building a Stronger Foundation Enriched and Accelerated Instruction in Elementary Math All Students – In the grade level EIC/CCSS Curriculum • Grade level expectations are at a higher level • Fewer topics per grade level • Enrichment–mastery of the 5 UCARE strands requires greater depth for all students Many Students – who consistently master all five UCARE strands for a topic • Additional Enrichment • MCPS Acceleration in mastered topics - Who consistently demonstrate strong mastery in all five strands for an indicator Few Students – grade level advancement

  17. Building a Stronger Foundation Enrichment and Acceleration Implementation Plan

  18. Refocusing the Assessment Vision

  19. MSA and the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers • Maryland joined a consortium of states to develop assessments that measure the Common Core State Standards. • It is expected that the PARCC assessments will be incorporated into, and eventually replace MSA.

  20. MCPS Benchmark Assessments • MCPS schools use the MAP-P (K–2) and MAP-M (3–5) to augment the school’s assessments and to provide a national comparison for math. • We will continue to use mClass (K-2) and MAP-R (3-5) for reading.

  21. Projected PARCC Assessment Development and EIC Implementation Timeline * Voluntary for Non-OARS Schools

  22. http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/2.0/ • Definitions and examples of Thinking and Academic Success Skills • Parent Guides for the content in each grade level – K-2 (what will my student learn?) • Video examples of integration • Video on Mathematics changes • Share your feedback with MCPS • Detailed curriculum framework (philosophy, research, content area learning objectives) Where can I learn more?

  23. The End!
