Student Achievement and District Goals Looking back and moving forward

What do we know about good instruction? 7 Guiding Principles

 People learn what is personally meaningful to them.  People learn when they accept goals that are challenging but achievable.  Learning is developmental.  Individuals learn differently.  People construct new knowledge by building on their current knowledge.  Much learning occurs through social interaction.  People need feedback to learn.

District Goals  Goal: To promote active and relevant student learning.  Goal: To promote the improvement of instruction through relevant assessment  Goal: Differentiate instruction to address the needs of all students

How do we address the goals????  Through: -Quality instruction -Curriculum Development - Differentiation

Quality Instruction  District-wide coordinated staff development program  Professional Development Committee  New hire training  Elementary staff training  In-district staff development  Staff College courses

Quality Instruction  Identify and implement superior teaching strategies  Set goals  Challenge objectives  Administrative training

Quality Instruction  Research professional resources  Board Policy defines this process and the Office of Curriculum and Instruction implements Implementation of NJDOE standards Continued professional education

Quality Instruction  5-year Revision cycle  Office of Curriculum and Instruction functions as a research and development team and disseminates information  Staff members contribute to this process through their work on committees

Curriculum  Benchmarking!!!! Performance based Report card data District wide by semester Analysis

Curriculum  Technology is used effectively and efficiently Supporting Technology plan:  Effective Smartboard integration  Using Tablet PC to enhance instruction  Oncourse  Relevant software

What DI is…  - proactive - qualitative rather than quantitative (different approaches rather than more or less) - multiple approaches - student centered - blend/flow of whole-class, group, and individual instruction

What DI is not…  - individualized instruction - chaotic - homogeneous grouping (bluebirds and buzzards) - just tailoring of the same suit of clothes - hard questions for gifted and easy questions for struggling learners

Look at each student’s…  Language Proficiency  Motivation  Interests  Background ( culture)  Learning styles
