Making Decisions About Your School’s Pathway to Standards

EOY Conversations & PD RESULTS BASED PD PLAN EOY Conversation between Principal & IS EOY Conversation between Principal & Teachers Principal PD Plan Teacher PD Plan (incl Teacher Leaders) Strategy for Standards-Based Instruction Initial Planning for 13/14

Refining Our Approach You and your teachers gave us feedback: You want clearer roles and guidance for implementing professional learning in your school You want more time to work with and learn from colleagues You want more differentiation We have learned new things about new Standards (CCSS, CAS, and ELD) and Assessments (PARCC) over the last year: Expected rigor of content Areas of primary focus from standards underlying the assessment maps Teacher and student fluency of technology is both exciting and alarming

Paradigm Shift: Central Approach to Standards-Based Instruction

Standards-Based Instruction LOOKS LIKE: MEASURED BY: OUTCOMES CONTENT INSTRUCTIONCOLLABORATIONSTRUCTURE Educators who exhibit a deep level of content knowledge Educators who demonstrate effective instructional decision-making School Teams that use a data inquiry process to address standards-based instruction School & district leaders who create conditions to support instruction Student Outcomes (e.g. iTasks/iUnits, Interims, Team- and Teacher-Created Assessments) ACHIEVED THROUGH: Results-Based PD Curricular Resources Support Partners EVERY CHILD SUCCEEDS THROUGH: Framework for Effective Teaching (e.g. Observation Data, SPS, Professionalism) School Leadership Framework

Support Strategy/PD: Standards-Based Instruction Schools can: Choose their path to Standards-Based Instruction (with support and progress monitoring from IS/EDs) Have data aligned to clear outcomes for standards-based instruction Make more informed, site-based decisions about what PD is needed (with manager guidance when appropriate) Design differentiated PD offerings Align all PD to Frameworks (Leadership and Effective Teaching) Help schools reach clearly defined outcomes Be collaborative Embed technology, best practices for ELLs, and data inquiry throughout Be results-based, small group, social, and as learner-directed as possible Paths will be differentiated and will include: Content Deep Dives Standards-based Instruction Toolkit Standards Scope and Sequence Documents Teacher Leadership Academy (Collaborative team leader) Classroom Assessment cohorts (including Short Cycle Assessments) Literacy Design collaborative (6 th -12 th Social Studies and Science only) OTHER Year-long study opportunities - TBD for certain schools The Paradigm Shift Commitments to Schools PATHS for Standards- Based Instruction

Mid-April: (ConnectEd and Principal Portal): Info about pathway options from which schools select to support progress toward the Standards Outcomes (Content, Instruction, Collaboration and Structures) Detailed guidance for school diagnosis to make pathway decisions that best support the school context Teacher Leader Information regarding: Teacher leader allocation and compensation details, and more details at the optional May 14 Teacher Leadership Academy Awards Mid-April - May: EOY Conversations between Principals and Teachers May 14: Teacher Leader Academy Awards ( School & Teacher Leaders)May: EOY Conversations between IS/EDs and Principals June 1: Schools identify their pathway selections for standards-based instruction in , including final identification of teacher leaders June 6: Universal Values Celebration July 29 - August 2: Preparing for : Self-directed planning & access to choice-based learning sessions July : (Secondary Teams) July 31: Living the VALUES Day (ALL Secondary, Elementary and K-8 Teams) August (Elementary and K-8 Teams) Standards / Teacher Leadership Timeline
