2. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org WELCOME! Guest Presenter: Kristy Casiello Kristy.casiello@CommonCoreInstitute.Org

3. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org Tool Review #3 Instruction Planner Software TODAY’S WEBINAR

4. Conditions for Successful Implementation Plan Vision:The “Why are we doing this?” to combat confusion. Skills:The skill sets needed to combat anxiety. Incentives:Reasons, perks, advantages to combat resistance Resources:Tools and time needed to combat frustration. Plan: Provides the direction to eliminate the treadmill effect. Knoster, T., Villa, R., & Thousand, J. (2000)

5. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org THE CHALLENGES  New Levels of Rigor  New Requirements across many subject areas  Instruction will need to be aligned to new standards  Mathematical practices change from numeracy & fluency to process like critical thinking and application  Teacher planning needs to explicitly address new guidelines  Teaching will change to reflect requirements & rigor  Classroom assessments must tie to learning targets  Current print and software wasn’t designed to these standards

6. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org  Reach higher levels of rigorous teaching  Lead, support and hold accountable  Track and monitor progress toward district common core goals  Ensure Fidelity of Instruction implementation  Ensure Secure alignment of Instruction and Assessment—learning targets.  Address the fear factor PRIORITY TASKS TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES

7. Concepts, abilities, and knowledge students are expected to know or be able to do Evaluation of student achievement toward standard (s) Methods, activities, lessons used to teach the curriculum Expected degree of proficiency as measured by assessment

9. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org RESEARCH.. Research shows that when curriculum is well articulated and aligned to assessments, and when school leaders monitor the extent to which it is actually covered, the measurable impact—or effect size—of such strategies is 31 percentile points in student achievement. (Marzano) The alignment between enacted curriculum taught by teachers and assessment explains more than 50% of variance in student scores. (National Science Foundation)

10. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org  Start with Biggest Shifts  Focus on Key Priority Elements  Create a Change Plan /Brand  Communicate to Overcome Fear  Identify Change Agents & Define Roles  Create a Routine CREATING COHERENCE

11. USE TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS 11 Requirements: Non-Fiction Information Text Increased Lexile-levels / Text Complexity Text-dependent Questions Evidence-based writing Instruction at higher levels of cognitive demand New Instructional Practices: College & Career Readiness Anchors (ELA/Sci/Soc), and Standards for Math Practices Linking Skills to Cognitive Demand

12. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org  How do I realistically, pragmatically move everyone?  What does “everyone” mean? ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

13. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org  The Individual Lesson Plan, the Unit Plan, or the Instructional Design Process (if individual) is the first Common Step to Individual Mastery  Moving everyone begins with changing the systemic process of instructional planning as a first individual step THE FIRST COMMON OPERATION OF INSTRUCTION: THE PLAN

15. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org

20.  Simple  Touches Everyone  Focused on What’s New / Most Difficult  Impacts World View / Approach  Systemic, Habit Forming  Team (Shared), Mastery through Practice (Individual)  Enables Creativity  Immediate Feedback (Completion)  Satisfies Compliance WHY BEST PRACTICE?

21. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org  Move from Systemic First Steps to Systemic CCR Instructional Design  Support your “High Fliers” by engaging them at a higher level FROM PLANNING TO DESIGN

22. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org  Teachers Create Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly CCSS-aligned Plans  Discuss / review with coaches or Principals  Refine  Best examples chosen as Exemplars  Pros: Authentic, Novice to Expert  Cons: Time Consuming, Varied Feedback, Lack of Consistency LESSON PLAN / INSTRUCTION DESIGN FOCUS

23. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org

24. SPECIFIC STANDARDS

25. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org

27. WORKPLACE READINESS

28. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS Mapping = System Planning = System

29. Kevin.Baird@CommonCoreInstitute.Org QUESTION FOR DISCUSSION WITH YOUR TEAM How do our teachers know today what to teach and when to teach it? How do they know the level of rigor required for mastery? How do they find “21 st Century” resources which are valuable and effective? How do we support teams to identify classroom needs so intervention is swift, targeted, and effective?

30. Great Work!
