MERRILLVILLE COMMUNITY SCHOOL CORPORATION

HISTORY OF CHANGE No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 AYP: % Federal Waiver States must develop comprehensive plan that includes: College and career ready standards High quality assessment Focus and priority schools

2014 Indiana Academic Standards Define what students should know and learn at each grade level College and Career Ready Standards Worked backwards (colleges and workforce) Reading Writing communications Critical thinking and problem solving Teamwork

2014 Indiana Academic Standards English Language Arts Math ds/englishlanguage-arts Reading Foundations Reading: Literature Reading: Non-fiction Reading: Vocabulary Writing: Genres, Process, Grammar Speaking and Listening Media Literacy ds/mathematics Process Standards Number Sense Computation Algebraic Thinking Geometry Measurement Data Analysis

Results of new standards Students expected to explain thought process in math Students expected to pull details from text to support answers Students expected to compare and contrast different texts, media clips, and poems Students expected to engage in collaborative discussions frequently

2014 New Istep+ Istep+ Part 1: March Istep+ Part 2: April/May Applied Skills Constructed Response Extended Response Paper/Pencil Multiple Choice Technology Enhanced Items Online

Constructed Response Restating question Supporting answer with details from the text Not pulling from their own schema (background knowledge) Concluding sentence needed, too (I believe, I think, in my opinion…)

Inside the United States Mint Constructed Response Question: How do the picture and the table help the reader understand the information in the article? Support your answer with details from the article. Constructed Response Rubric 2-points 2 Points: Proficient The response fulfills all the requirements of the task. The information given is test-based and relevant to the task. 1 Point: Partially Proficient The response fulfills some of the requirements of the task, but some of the information my be too general, too simplistic, or not supported by the text. 0 Point: Not Proficient The response does not fulfill the requirements of the task because it contains information that is inaccurate, incomplete, and/or missing altogether.

Examples of Constructed Responses 2 Point: The article says there are Mint facilities across the country. The map shows the reader the five locations. The article also says the Mint created quarters to honor the 50 states. The table shows when each state quarter was created. I believe the map and table help the reader to understand the full responsibility of the U.S. Mint facilities. 1 Point: The map and the table give you more information about where the facilities are located and when they made state quarters. 0 Point: The picture and the table give the reader more information about what is happening in the article.

Extended Response Extended - Response Question: You have read information about the United States Mint. Write a persuasive essay to show your teacher how much you would learn on a field trip to one of the facilities. Use details from the article to help explain what you learn on your visit.

Write a story about your discovery. Be sure to include: What you suddenly discover you are able to do How you feel about the discovery What is interesting or exciting about the new ability A beginning, middle, and end to your story You have read the story, “The Flea, the Grasshopper, and the Frog.” Think about the lesson of the story.

Be sure to include: An explanation of the lesson Details about events in the story to support the lesson An introduction, a body, and a conclusion Scoring: 6/4 Rubric Writing Genre and Process Supported with facts and details Connecting ideas and events using words and phrases Clear purpose of task and strong sense of voice Grammar and Usage Few errors in comma and apostrophe use Few errors in verb usage

Ways to Help Make sure your child is reading every day. This is in addition to any homework. Ask your child questions about the reading. Have child give you evidence from text. Practice math facts every day. Point out how math is used in everyday situations. Encourage your child to keep a journal. This will assist in writing.
