Discuss some of the things you may have encountered along the road of curriculum design. Witches and flying monkeys Fields of poppies Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow Wizard of Oz

 Understand how to select and prioritize standards for the optimization of student learning.  Understand the process of selecting supporting standards.  Begin establishing Priority Standards for at least one content area. Outcomes

Why Prioritize the Standards

A priority standard is one that provides students with knowledge and skills that will endure throughout life, be valuable in multiple disciplines, and provide success in the next level of instruction. Priority Standards Ainsworth, Larry. (2010). Rigorous Curriculum Design. Englewood: Lead and Learn Press.

FILTERS Endurance Leverage Readiness

Over Time (endurance) Across Content (leverage) Toward Next Skill (readiness) Priority Standard

Other Considerations  External Assessments - State / College Test Correlations  K-12 Alignment  Needs of Student Population

How About a Sample?

 With your table group, select a strand from the math sample.  Run the standards of that strand through the filters.  Discuss your thoughts on why the highlighted standards were identified as Priority. How About a Sample?

The Power of Vertical Alignment

Vertical Analysis Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments 6 th Grade Determine two or more main ideas of a text and explain how they are supported by key details; summarize the text 5 th Grade Determine the main idea of a text and explain how it is supported by key details; summarize the text 4 th Grade

Supporting Standards

A supporting standard is one that enables a student to perform the priority standard. Supporting Standards Ainsworth, Larry. (2010). Rigorous Curriculum Design. Englewood: Lead and Learn Press.

 Go back to handout #3.  With your table group, review the standards that were not identified as Priority.  Discuss whether they might serve as supporting standards. How About a Sample?

 With your table group, review standards for the sample units.  Discuss how the supporting standards support the Priority standards.  Determine if you might change any of the standards for these units. Check Out This Sample...
