4. Themes for ISLN A Year of Change A Year of Change Dreaming BIG Dreaming BIG

5. Chasing a Dream

6. Jimmy Rose’s Dream

7. What is the dream for your school? What is the dream for your students?

8. The Dreams in your Hands Magoffin County Schools

9. The dreams of our students How can we help our students turn their dreams into reality? If their dreams are in our hands, what can we do?

10. ISLN Focus Every student taught by an effective teacher; every school led by an effective leader. Student mastery of KCAS with the goal of being college/career ready

11. Turning Dreams into Reality requires CHANGE What are the roadblocks to leading change?

12. Brady Bunch Parody

13. Time for Change As we go throughout the year together, ISLN will support you as you are leading district/school CHANGE in an attempt to turn dreams into reality while recognizing that change is not easy.

14. C3 Framework for Social Studies Guidance for Enhancing the Rigor of K-12 Civics, Economics, Geography, and History Social Studies Standards: are based on a document called the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies by the National Council on Social Studies (NCSS). focuses on the disciplinary and multidisciplinary concepts and practices that make up the process of investigation, analysis, and explanation. are designed to have explicit connections to the Common Core ELA standards. (Literacy Standards in History/Social Studies) http://www.socialstudies.org/system/files/c3/C3-Framework-for-Social-Studies.pdf

15. Kentucky Core Academic Standards Social Studies Update Teacher, School, and District Leaders participating in Kentucky’s Leadership Networks for Social Studies will have multiple opportunities to provide input/feedback as well. The goal is to have a solid, defensible, world-class draft of college/career- ready standards to present to the Kentucky Board of Education in 2014. Progress updates will continue on a regular basis during Network meetings and in KDE’s ISN Newsletters and Webcasts.

17. Learning Targets Describe the three phases of the change process. Explain how to apply six strategies for managing change within your schools or districts. Use the Stages of Concern to plan for and provide differentiated support to those implementing new initiatives. Identify and explain strategies for addressing resistance to change.

18. Change? What Change?

21. The emperor has no clothes Write a quote you found significant on one side of an index card. On the other side of the card, explain the significance of the quote to you.

22. Save The Last Word For Me Protocol One person reads their quote and points out where to find it in the article, but does not explain its significance. The rest of the group discusses the quote. After two minutes, discussion stops and the first person reads the back of their card to explain the significance of the quote to them. Next person at table reads their quote and repeat the process.

23. Text Corners Send at least one person from your district to each of the four stations. Read the article and follow the protocol at that station. Go back to your district table and share information from your article and how the protocol worked. Discuss ways to use the articles, information, and/or protocols in your district work. Take notes on the learning targets using the discussion of your group. All articles and protocols are available on the website!

24. Professional Development VS Professional Learning

25. Speaking of Change….

26. How can I get a copy of the Framework for K-12 Science Education? http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13165#

27. How Can I get a copy of the standards? nextgenscience.org/next-generation-science-standards

28. Framework Dimensions Core Ideas Practices Crosscutting Concepts P-12 MSOU of PIMSER Dimension 1: Core Disciplinary Ideas Foundational content ideas in four disciplines: Life Science, Earth/Space Science, and Physical Science Dimension 2: Cross-Cutting Elements Major ideas that have application across all domains of science Dimension 3: Science and Engineering Practices Practices scientists engage in as they investigate the natural world

29. Performance Expectations Clarification Statement Assessment Boundary

30. Digging In Take a look at the examples of standards in your packet. Spend time at your table talking over the questions on the three column handout and answer them as a table. Include questions you have at the bottom.

31. Shift Happens! 1.K-12 science education should reflect the interconnected nature of science as it is practiced and experienced in the real world. 2.The NGSS are student performance expectations—NOT curriculum. 3.The science concepts in the NGSS build coherently from K-12. 4.The NGSS focus on deeper understanding of content as well as application of content. 5.Science and engineering are integrated in the NGSS, from K-12. 6.The NGSS are designed to prepare students for college, career, and citizenship. 7.The NGSS and CCSS (ELA and Math) are aligned.

32. Speed Bumps to Implementation of NGSS

33. Speed bumps on the road to NGSS

34. Old dullness can trump new standards

35. Read some stuff Do some worksheets Write an argumentative passage Answer an ORQ Take it on faith Read some stuff Grow some plants and measure soil mass before/after Write an argumentative passage Prove it to yourself 5-LS1-1. Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the idea that plant matter comes mostly from air and water, not from the soil.]

36. NGSS Architecture Integration of practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas.

41. Crosswalk?

42. Avoid the folder swap

43. “The new standards don’t really impact me very much because I teach high school but I don’t teach biology”

44. The nebular theory of curriculum accretion in action

45. “We already do that”

46. Death march through the bullets

48. Science Teacher Leader Network Building Capacity—Not Train the Trainer Four Pillars Science Standards Highly Effective Teaching and Learning (TPGES) Balanced Assessment Leadership They need opportunities, expectations, and support.

49. Our Expectations of TLs Implement changes in classrooms and reflect on how changes affect student learning. Be willing to be observed by peers and receive feedback. Be willing to observe peers and offer feedback. Engage in conversations and planning for wider implementation with teacher teams and district teams. Take leadership role in sharing information in various ways in departments, schools, and districts.

51.
