GAPS SSS  NGSSS  Common Core

GAPS: Examples What GAPS did YOU notice this last year?

GAPS: Examples Current 4 th graders didn’t memorize their multiplication table through 10x10 in 3 rd grade Current 5 th graders didn’t learn the use of the Distributive Property in 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd, or 4 th grade

1 st Grade: = = nd Grade: = rd Grade: 8 x 6 = (8 x 5) + (8 x 1) 4 th Grade: 8 x 26 = (8 x 20) + (8 x 6) 5 th Grade: 208 ÷ 8 = (160 ÷ 8) + (48 ÷ 8) Next Generation Sunshine State Standards

GAPS: Examples What GAPS might there be when we transition to the Common Core?

Depth of Knowledge a Mile Wide and an Inch Deep

How do I find time to fill in the transition gaps? How do I teach the deeper, more difficult material? How do I get through the book at all? (It doesn’t feel like less!)

Project CHILD, 2/3 Rule, Spiraled Stations PROJECT CHILD SOLUTIONS

Solution #1: Project CHILD Cross-Grade Level Teaching Teachers as Subject Experts Reading Writing Math Differentiated Learning Stations

Solution #2: The 2/3 Rule

The 2/3 Rule: Whole Group v. Small Group 1)Spend less than ½ the class time teaching whole group. 2)The remaining part of the class time should be spent at stations, including a small group at Teacher Station.

3)Teach the remaining 1/3 of the class at the the Teacher Station. RTI Philosophy Tier 1: Whole-Group Instruction Tier 2: Whole-Group Instruction with supplemental help from teacher or classmates Tier 3: Small-Group & Individual Instruction

The 2/3 Rule: Whole Group v. Small Group

Solution #3: Spiral the Curriculum

Spiral the Curriculum: Review, Preteach, Review Bellwork & Stations 1) Review previous year curriculum during the fall to assess level of mastery.

Bellwork & Stations 2)Preteach curriculum by using your higher-achieving students and allowing your students to discover. 3)Review curriculum throughout the year, focusing on each BIG Idea.
