3. Common Core State Standards Video-Common Core Overview

4. SHIFTS in Common Core What’s Changed?

5. K through grade 5 10 reading standards for informative text 10 reading standards for literary text Writing standards explicitly call for opinion pieces, narratives, and informational or explanatory text

6. Grades 6 through 12 10 reading standards for literature 10 reading standards for informational text Writing standards that explicitly call for arguments, narratives, and informational or explanatory text An additional set of standards for reading and writing in history/social studies, science, and technical studies.

7. Language Arts Balancing informative and literary texts (K-5) Knowledge in all disciplines Staircase of complexity Text-based answers Writing from sources Academic vocabulary

9. Math Shifts Greater focus on fewer topics K – 2 Concepts, skills, problem solving related to addition/subtraction 3 – 5 Concepts, skill, problem solving related to multiplication and and division of whole numbers and fractions 6 Concepts, skills, ratios, relationships of early algebraic expressions and equations Linking topics/thinking across grade levels Rigorous pursuit of conceptual understandings, procedural skills, application

10. “Doing” Math Conceptual Understanding Computation and Procedural Skills Problem Solving

12. CCSS Binders Summer Work 2013

13. Binder overview – Year divided into 10 Units – Units have 3 cycles 1 cycle can be 1 week – Same standard taught in each cycle; however, depth of standard deepens throughout the unit – Units focus changes between Reading for Literature and Reading for Information Units 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are RL Units 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 are RI – Writing Prompts for each Cycle Rotate between Informative, Narrative, and Argument/Persuasive – Summative Assessment after each Unit

14. Scope and sequence Determined standards taught within a specific Unit and Cycle Created measurable objectives for each standard Determined which measurable objectives will be taught in a specific Unit and Cycle Developed a guideline for choosing resources within each unit that will address the standards

15. Overview of Scope and Sequence Standard Identification: 6.RL.1 – 6 = Grade Level – RL = Reading for Literature – 1 = the standard number under Reading for Literature Objective Identification: 6.RL.1.2 – 6 = Grade Level – RL = Reading for Literature – 1 = the standard number under Reading for Literature – 2 = the objective number assigned to the standard

16. Scope and Sequence

17. PBVUSD Binder Team Work Standard Objectives – Assigned objectives to specific days within a cycle – Created student outcomes for specific objectives Resource Development – Identified text and other resources that could be used to teach the objective – Developed a series of weekly text based writing prompts Rotate between Informative, Argumentative, and Narrative

26. DOK-Video

28. DOK Levels and Examples Level 1: Recall and Reproduction  Use a dictionary to find the meaning of words  Provide a routine procedure such as measuring length  Describe physical features of a place Level 2: Skills and Concepts (greater depth of understanding is required to be able to explain how or why a concepts works)  Compare desert and tropical environments  Identify and summarize the major events, solutions, conflicts in literary text  Organize, represent and interpret data Level 1 and 2 questions generally have a wrong or right answer.

29. Level 3: Conceptual and Strategic Thinking  Analyze and describe the characteristics of various types of literature  Create an open sort and define the rule and explain  Solve non-routine problems Level 4:Extended Thinking  Analyzing author’s craft (e.g. style, bias, literary techniques)  Conduct an investigation, from specifying a problem to designing and carrying out an experiment, to analyzing data and forming conclusions  Write and produce an original play Levels 3 and 4 can have multiple steps, more than one possible answer and can be done more than one way.

32. Project-Based Learning

33. Speaking and Listening Standards CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.1 Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 5 topics and texts, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly. CCSS.ELA- Literacy.SL.5.1a Come to discussions prepared, having read or studied required material; explicitly draw on that preparation and other information known about the topic to explore ideas under discussion. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.1CCSS.ELA- Literacy.SL.5.1a CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.1b Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions and carry out assigned roles. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.1b CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.1c Pose and respond to specific questions by making comments that contribute to the discussion and elaborate on the remarks of others. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.1c CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.1d Review the key ideas expressed and draw conclusions in light of information and knowledge gained from the discussions. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.1d

34. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.4 Report on a topic or text or present an opinion, sequencing ideas logically and using appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details to support main ideas or themes; speak clearly at an understandable pace. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.4

35. Project-Based Learning What is Project-Based Learning? What does PBL look like? How does it compare to teacher-centered instruction?

36. What is Project-Based Learning? Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a learning by doing approach to education. “Rigorous projects are carefully planned, managed, and assessed to help students learn key academic content, practice 21st Century Skills (such as collaboration, communication & critical thinking), and create high-quality, authentic products and presentations.”

37. Project Based Learning Explained http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=play er_embedded&v=LMCZvGesRz8&noredirect= 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=play er_embedded&v=LMCZvGesRz8&noredirect= 1

38. “Project Based Learning is generally done by groups of students working together toward a common goal. Performance is assessed on an individual basis, and takes into account the quality of the product produced, the depth of content understanding demonstrated, and the contributions made to the ongoing process of project realization.”

40. Project-Based Learning is an instructional approach that is designed to actively engage students in the learning process, while seeing the effects of their research. Compared with teacher-centered instruction, which is centered around the teacher leading the instruction and discussion, PBL lets students be in charge of their own learning, but still allowing the teacher to be the facilitator.actively engage students
