Needs of Next Generation Learners

Connect Extend Questions How are the ideas and information presented CONNECTED to what you already knew? (PGES, Framework for Teaching, KCAS, instructional strategies, curriculum design, Thinking Strategies…) What new ideas did you get that EXTENDED or pushed your thinking in new directions? What QUESTIONS or wonderings do you now have?

I can analyze and provide feedback on Learning Progressions of DRAFT SS Standards for the Next Generation.

Social Studies Standards Timeline Through August Selected 40 teacher writers to draft standards using vision, priorities set from 2013 stakeholder group 4. Drafted set of standards with anchors/progressions informed by Global Competence Matrix, P21 Skills, C3 Framework and How Students Learn History in the Classroom 5. Established protocol for focus groups Through Formed a 40+ member stakeholder group to set vision, establish specifications for new standards 2. Established key threads for Kentucky Social Studies Standards September-December Introducing standards via focus groups, Leadership Networks, KBE Meeting and conferences 7. Soliciting and reviewing feedback, revising draft standards when necessary 8. Presenting standards for adoption by KBE

In Cross-District Teams provide Feedback on Draft SS Anchor Standards/Progressions… – OBSTACLES: What concerns might you have? Is the language in the progression clear and measurable? Do the progressions “fit together” without any gaps? – OPPORTUNITIES: What opportunities do these standards provide (instruction/engagement) when considering needs of next generation learners?

Please return to District Teams… Take 5 minutes to reflect on DRAFT standards. Please record any questions/comments on evaluation tool. Additional Feedback May Be Provided At:

Why New? “This standard of Social Studies education should not only be afforded to those in affluent neighborhoods or only utilized with those students in gifted and talented programs. This level of critical analysis and action should be the expectation of every student in the state of Kentucky.” -Tiffany Gruen, Elementary Teacher, Covington Independent “I want my students to have the confidence to make the world a better place.” -Roger Thomas, Middle School Teacher, Jefferson County “Students will be immersed in inquiry, but no longer will students be asking ‘Why do we have to learn this?’ They will be asking, ‘How is this learning important,’ and ‘How this learning will help me to better know, understand and question the world in which I live?’ AHH – what a refreshing thought.” -Monica Clark, High School Teacher, Bullitt County

Why Now? “My thought is that content is important, but there is so much knowledge at our fingertips that they need to know what to do with basic knowledge. Skills such as problem solving and critical thinking are important. They need to be able to support their information with evidence.” --Leslie Moyer, High School Teacher, Greenup County “In an era when information threatens to overwhelm us, it’s more crucial than ever to choose the right questions to ask.” -TIME Magazine, September 8-15, 2014, pp 38, 4 “Long ago, in youth, I was brash enough to think myself able to pronounce on ‘The Meaning of History.’ I now know that history’s meaning is a matter to be discovered, not declared.” -Henry Kissinger, TIME Magazine, September 22, 2014, p 38
