Indiana Standards (2014) Instructional Shifts in College and Career Readiness: Strategies that Empower Teaching and Learning Administrator Breakout Session Today’s Meet: todaysmeet.com/IDOE104

GOALS for today Explore leadership responsibilities for successful implementation of the IAS 2014 Build Communities of Practice within the school community Utilize resources to help create time and space for teachers

Indiana Standards 2014  The standards are not curriculum  The standards are not instructional practices  The standards do not necessarily address students who are far below or far above grade level  The standards do not cover all aspects of what is necessary for college and career readiness

Assessment Items – General Notes… English/Language Arts  Spring 2015 ELA Applied Skills items are based on reading passages. Mathematics  Icons will not appear on the Spring 2015 Math items, as Mathematical Process Standard 5 requires the use of appropriate tools strategically.  The Spring 2015 Math assessment will include items that measure fluency as demonstrated “efficiently” and “accurately” by students.  When creating an expression or equation, students must define the variable.  Gridded-Response items will appear as part of the pencil-and-paper version for Part 2 in grades 4 – 8.

Designing the Spring 2015 ISTEP+ (Grades 3-8) ISTEP+ Part 1  March Administration – Applied Skills Items (Online voluntary) Paper/Pencil Testing Window: March , 2015 Online Testing Window: March , 2015 ISTEP+ Part 2  April/May Administration (Online required) Paper/Pencil Testing Window (Requires Pre-Approval): April 27 – May 8, 2015  Multiple-Choice and Gridded-Response Items Online Testing Window: April 27 – May 15, 2015  Multiple-Choice and Technology-Enhanced Items

Acuity Assessments: Grades 3-8  English/Language Arts and Mathematics Replace Predictive and Diagnostic paths Aligned to the CCR 2014 Indiana Academic Standards 3 administrations – serve as pretest/diagnostic assessment  Science and Social Studies Program remains unchanged

Assessment-focused Professional Development: Grades 3-8  September/October – recorded WebEx Sessions  Focused on: Use of Instructional and Assessment Guidance Sample open-ended items based on new CCR standards Technology-enhanced item types

“Experience College- and Career- Ready Assessment” Tool: Grades 3-8  Release October 1; open through spring Technology-enhanced item types Training for students and educators Engaging and interactive Teachers are encouraged to use Experience CCRA as an instructional tool in the classroom!

Designing the Spring 2015 ISTEP+ End of Course Assessments (ECAs)  Spring 2015 ECAs will include two components: Graduation examination  Aligned to IAS (2000 Algebra I, 2006 English 10) Accountability assessment  Aligned to CCR IAS (2014 Algebra I and English 10)  Watch for additional ECA updates coming later this fall!

Acuity Assessments: ECAs  Acuity for Algebra I and English 10 Continue Predictive forms for the ECAs  Assesses Graduation Examination content NEW CCR-aligned items for use by teachers  Assesses accountability assessment content

Assessment-focused Professional Development: ECAs  Late Fall – recorded WebEx Sessions  Focused on: Use of Instructional and Assessment Guidance Sample open-ended items based on new CCR standards Technology-enhanced item types

“Experience College- and Career- Ready Assessment” Tool: ECAs Teachers are encouraged to use Experience CCRA as an instructional tool in the classroom!  Release in January Technology-enhanced item types Training for students and educators Engaging and interactive

. Future Assessments: Beginning in  Assessment Resolution includes: Summative Assessment (Grades 3-10)  Grade 10 ISTEP+ becomes new Graduation Examination  Phase-out ECAs (Algebra I, English 10)  High School Science Assessment based on Biology I IREAD-3 Alternate assessments (Grades 3-10) Formative assessments (Grades K-10) College- and Career-Readiness Exam (Grade 11) Grade 11, 12 assessments (focused on college and career)

 What we doing, as leaders, to ensure the shifts are successful for teachers and students?  Share successful teaching strategies that are working in your school.  What are some resources you are using currently…i.e. website, curricular, instructional…etc. to build a community of readers in your school?

Communities of Practice As a leader, what strategies can I use to promote DOK best practices in my school ? How do I create systems to encourage my teachers to regularly check for understanding in their classrooms? How is the language of Math, problem solving and critical thinking spoken in my school?

 Instructional Shifts found in Content Areas:  Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction  Reading, writing and speaking, grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational  Regular practice with complex text and its academic language Content Area Literacy

 Integration of content & content area literacy: Content Area Literacy WTI-4 Students interpret technical drawings and documents to perform welding processes to specifications LST.3.1 Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades texts and topics. Indiana Academic Standard: Welding Technology 1 Content Area Literacy Standard: Science & Technical Subjects

Video 3: 12th grade History IAS LH 2.1- Cite specific evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources IAS LH 3.3- Evaluate authors’ differing perspectives on the same historical event by assessing the authors’ claims and evidence IAS LH 4.1- Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information in diverse formats and media Content Literacy Shifts in Action! Content Literacy Shifts in Action

 What does this mean for you as leaders?  ALL Teachers are LANGUAGE Teachers.  How do I build a culture of literacy within my school?  How do I, as a leader, include parents in this initiative?  What organizations can I partner with to facilitate this effort?  Are these new shifts evident in your school? If no, what changes need to be made in order to effectively ensure implementation? Communities of Practice

Going Forward  Action Plan Considerations:  Utilization of IDOE staff for Technical Assistance and Professional Development  Training-Up teachers on new shifts  Embedding Content Literacy  Differentiation  Communities of Practice  Engaging Parents & Partnerships
