Regional Working Session Curriculum and Assessment Framework

Purposes of the Regional Working Session Update on Curriculum and Assessment Framework Get feedback

Context for the Work Need for changes to curriculum and assessment Actions to date Where we are now

Context Competencies Phases K-12 Prototype Curriculum Context Competencies Phases K-12 Prototype opportunity to apply competencies

Context for Curriculum Size: create space to allow creative uses Nature: focus on competencies and concepts Organization: standards for areas of learning How curriculum is experienced: standards combined and integrated in various ways courses if necessary, but not necessarily courses

Three Phases of Learning Foundation Years: K-5? Middle Years: 6-9? 6-10? Graduation Years: 10-12? 11-12?

Graduation Years: Possible Organization Scientific Inquiry Social Sciences SI 1 SI 2 SI 3 SI 4 SS 1 SS 2 SS 3

Cross-Curricular Competencies • Communication Critical thinking Creative thinking and innovation Personal responsibility and well-being Social responsibility Continua developed by teams of teachers will support assessment and reporting

Curriculum Organizers Curriculum organizers identify the structure of the curriculum as it relates to the discipline(s) it is based upon Identity, Society and Culture Governance Economy & Technology Environment

Competencies Highlights that competencies are a key feature of the curriculum and make clear what skills/processes of each competency are focused on that year. Communication (C) Critical Thinking (CT) Creative Thinking and Innovation (CI) Personal Responsibility (PR) Social Responsibility [SR]

Big Ideas and Learning Standards Big Ideas identify the enduring understandings or universal truths of the area of learning; Learning standards describe what students are expected to understand and demonstrate Contact with others influences peoples’ distinct cultural beliefs. examine the distinct cultures of First Nations groups living in British Columbia prior to contact with Europeans C , CT, GC appraise the effects of early contact between Aboriginal societies and European explorers and settlers CT, GC Governance structures affect people’s rights and responsibilities. compare pre-contact governance structures of Aboriginal communities with those of early European settlements in BC and Canada assess the impact of Canadian governance on Aboriginal people’s rights Through time humans have faced challenges and met needs by developing new systems and technologies. investigate technologies developed by Aboriginal people C, GC describe early trading systems of Aboriginal cultures in BC C Geography and way of life affect one another. analyze Aboriginal peoples’ historic and contemporary relationship with the land and natural resources C, CT, GC, SR, ES predict the impact of all Canadians adopting Aboriginal world views CI, GC, PR, ES

Links Links provide additional information (written, visual, audio-visual) to clarify and support the curriculum, for example: Example inquiries and cross-curricular projects Demonstrations of learning

Curriculum Feedback Competencies Curriculum Prototype What is your reaction to the working list of competencies? Curriculum Prototype What questions or comments do you have about the prototype?

Assessment

Proposed Directions for Assessment Student Assessment Multiple approaches, emphasizing student self-assessment and assessment for learning Developmental continua and exemplars for cross-curricular competencies Example demonstrations of learning Refreshing existing performance standards

Proposed Directions for Assessment Large-Scale Assessment There will be provincial assessments at elementary and secondary grades—what they will look like is TBD. Will be designed to support learning. Incorporate a wider variety of formats than present, including performance tasks, structured inquiries, classroom-based assessments. In elementary, both foundation skills and competencies will be assessed. In secondary, increased emphasis on competencies and key areas of learning (will tie in to discussions on graduation requirements).

Communicating Student Learning K-9 Reporting Communicating Student Learning K-9

Communicating Student Learning: Directions and Feedback to Date Shift from “reporting” to “communicating student learning” Reporting on cross-curricular competencies and areas of learning Ongoing communication with provincial guidelines and supports Formal, written summative reporting at key times in the year Clear performance standards-based language No letter grades for K-9; varied views for Grades 10-12. No percentages - varied views

Graduation Requirements HOW TO PERSONALIZE BC’S GRAD PROGRAM? Need your input!

Current Grad Requirements 2011/2012 48 credits from required courses Planning 10 a Language Arts 10* a Language Arts 11 a Language Arts 12* a Mathematics 10* a Mathematics 11 or 12 a Fine Arts and/or Applied Skills 10, 11 or 12 28 credits from elective courses, and 4 credits from Graduation Transitions Social Studies 10 a Social Studies 11* or 12 Science 10* a Science 11 or 12 Physical Education 10 80 Credits Total Of the 80 credits for graduation, at least 16 must be at the Grade 12 level, including a Grade 12 Language Arts course. Others may be required or elective courses. 5 required exams (in courses noted by *)

Adult Grad Requirements 2011/2012 20 credits from required courses a Language Arts 12* a Mathematics 11 or 12 a Social Studies 11* or 12 And two Grade 12 level OR 3 Grade 12 level ministry authorized courses 20 Credits Total Only Ministry authorized courses allowed, no BAA, IDS, etc. Language Arts 12 exams are optional

Graduation Feedback Received to Date Graduation based on a demonstration of competencies rather than course completion A final, competency-based exit assessment required for graduation A project-based, cross-curricular capstone project required for graduation Demonstration of learning through a collection of learner’s work A focus on the community – involving learners in the community, and preparing them for life after K-12

Graduation Feedback Received to Date Extend opportunities for external credentials Choice and flexibility for learners to meet graduation requirements, including academic and non-academic options/pathways (e.g., trades, technology) Graduation as a minimum standard. Learners would be able to go beyond graduation to meet personal goals, e.g., advanced math for university prep, trades training Move away from grade 10 and 11 examinations in their current form.

Response to Assessment, Reporting, and Graduation Feedback What resonates with you about feedback received to date? What works in your context? What would you change? How would you change it? To what extent would the proposed changes clear the pathway for innovation in your district? Do you have any other advice in these areas?
