  1. Unwrapping Standards

  2. Unwrapping Priority Standards & communicating clear student expectations is an essential part of implementing core curriculum for all

  3. Define Curriculum • What is your definition of curriculum?

  4. Types of Curriculum Recommended – Standards as defined by experts in their field. Written – State standards, local goals and objectives (ie., curriculum binders). Supported – Curriculum for which materials are actually available, such as textbooks and software.

  5. Selecting Priority Standards Criteria Critical life knowledge and skill Critical foundation for future learning Critical for meeting benchmark on OAKS

  6. Identifying Learning Targets Examining standard and related indicators to determine learning targets of exactly what students need to: Know (concepts or content) Be able to do (skills)

  7. Identify Learning Targets from Power/Priority Standards Analyze the wording of your Power Standards to determine exactly what students must know and be able to do.

  8. KNOW Underline the key concepts (important nouns and noun phrases).

  9. DO Circle the skills (verbs)—not all verbs, just those representing what students must be able to do. CAPITALIZE vs circle verbs if creating a document on the computer

  10. Remember BLOOMS? Creating Evaluating Analyzing Applying Understanding Remembering

  11. Create a Graphic Organizer “Unwrapped” Skills With Approximate Bloom’s Taxonomy Levels (2) RECOGNIZE (main idea) (2) PROVIDE (supporting evidence) (4) CONTRAST (facts, supported inferences, opinions) (4) DRAW (inferences, conclusions, generalizations) (5) SUPPORT (inferences/conclusions w/ text evidence, prior knowledge) What Students Need to Be Able To Do

  12. What is Curriculum Mapping? Curriculum Mapping is the documentation and discussion of what we teach. It is a collaborative process that helps us understand teaching and learning throughout the Elementary and Middle School .

  13. Types of Curriculum • Assessed – What is actually assessed at the state and local level. • Taught – The content that teachers actually deliver. • Intended – The written district guide for grade level benchmarks/objectives.

  14. Why Curriculum Mapping? • It benefits ALL students. • Mapping is a COMMUNICATION tool. • Mapping is a PLANNING tool, it keeps us FOCUSED and targets necessary information. • Promotes PROFESSIONALISM and teaching creativeness.

  15. Benefits • Mapping is not burdensome, in fact it replaces repeat teachings and (eventually) lesson plans. • Mapping allows us to focus on fewer goals, and therefore, teach concepts in depth. • Mapping will eliminate wasted review and expand teaching time. • It vertically shows curriculum steps.

  16. Create a “snapshot” of the educational activities of every classroom within the district. Capture the content skills and assessments taught by every teacher in the district. Organize this information into an easily accessed visual that presents a timeline of instruction by teacher and course. Curriculum MappingAttempts to:

  18. Sample Curriculum Map

  19. Essential Questions… • Focus on a broad topic of study. • Have multiple answers and perspectives. They address “why” or “how”. • They are “mental Velcro” that helps ideas stick in students’ minds.

  20. Essential QuestionsExamples • Which is more important – water or air? • What is change? • What if Shakespeare were a woman?

  21. Content • Content is the essential concepts and topics covered during a month.  

  22. ContentExamples • Cultural diversity • Water cycle • Bridge to Terabithia • Local Government Systems • Fire Safety

  23. Outcomes • Outcomes are key abilities and processes students will develop related to specific content.

  24. Outcome Examples • Reading a map • Writing a play • Analyzing non-fiction text • Writing persuasive essays • Matching words and pictures

  25. Assessment • Assessments are the products or performances that demonstrate student learning. • Assessments are what the student does (the actual product or performance), not the evaluation tool used to assess the product.

  26. Assessment Examples • Group presentation • Brochure • Research Paper • Essay exam • Puppet show • Debate

  27. Activities • Key activities that lead to acquisition of knowledge and skills. • Describe the "how" for the knowledge and skills.

  28. Activities Examples • Writing persuasive letters to local government • Water analysis of local river • Critique a work of art • Create a 50 states quilt
