1.Goals: What outcomes do we want for our students in our state, district, and schools? 2.Knowledge: What do we know and what guidance can we gain from scientifically based reading research? 3.Progress Monitoring Assessment: How are we doing? What is our current level of performance as a school? As a grade? As a class? As an individual student? 4.Outcome Assessment: How far do we need to go to reach our goals and outcomes? 5.Core Instruction: What are the critical components that need to be in place to reach our goals? 6.Differentiated Instruction: What more do we need to do and what instructional adjustments need to be made? Guiding Questions

Implementation of Research-Based Reading Programs That Support the Full Range of Learners Instruction A core instructional program of validated efficacy adopted and implemented schoolwide Supplemental and intervention programs to support core program Programs and materials emphasize big ideas Programs implemented with high fidelity

Core Program A core program is the “base” reading program designed to provide instruction on the essential areas of reading for the majority of students schoolwide. In general, the core program should enable 80% or more of students to attain schoolwide reading goals. A Core Instructional Program of Validated Efficacy Adopted and Implemented Schoolwide

Supplemental and Intervention Programs to Support the Core A School’s Continuum of Programs and Materials Core: Programs and materials designed to enable 80% or more of students to attain schoolwide reading goals. Supplemental: Programs and materials designed to support the core program by addressing specific skill areas such as phonemic awareness or reading fluency. Intervention: Programs and materials designed to provide intensive support for students performing below grade level.

Thinking About What We Are Teaching Instructional Curriculum Thinking Maps

If we want to think about instruction, where do we start?

Curriculum Maps (Simmons & Kame’enui, 1999) Organized by “big ideas” for each grade level Provide curriculum-based 180-day pacing maps Provide specific goals and outcomes for each grade (i.e., what to teach and when) Based on research in beginning reading

“Big Idea” Skill Outcomes Instructional Emphasis Measurable Benchmark How to Read Curriculum Maps Months

A Set of Strategic, Research-Based, and Measurable Goals to Guide Instruction, Assessment, and Learning Curriculum Maps Sample Curriculum Maps k-3 “BIG IDEAS” Share what you are thinking as you review these sample maps?

A Set of Strategic, Research-Based, and Measurable Goals to Guide Instruction, Assessment, and Learning Goals The Curriculum Maps are only one example of schoolwide reading goals Other examples include state or local reading standards or frameworks How do your state and/or local standards or frameworks compare to the Curriculum Maps? How are they similar – different?

Adequate, Prioritized, and Protected Time for Reading Instruction and Practice Instruction: Time Schoolwide plan established to allocate sufficient reading time and coordinate resources Additional time allocated for students not making adequate progress (supplemental & intervention programs) Reading time prioritized and protected from interruption

Instruction, Grouping, and Scheduling That Optimizes Learning Instruction: Grouping Differentiated instruction aligned with student needs Creative and flexible grouping used to maximize performance

Differentiated Instruction Aligned With Student Needs Examples Students are grouped based on assessment results Specified supplemental and intervention programs are implemented depending on student needs and profiles Groups are constantly reorganized based on progress monitoring data

Early identification and frequent monitoring of students experiencing reading difficulties Progress Monitoring Performance monitored frequently for all students who are at risk of reading difficulty Data used to make instructional decisions Example of a progress monitoring schedule Students at low risk:Monitor progress four times a year Students at some risk:Monitor progress every month Students at high risk:Monitor progress every other week

Ongoing Instructional Adjustments Based on Assessment Data to Meet the Needs of Each Student Instructional Adjustments Instructional programs, grouping, and time are adjusted and intensified according to learner performance and needs. Making instruction more responsive to learner performance

How Do We Enhance Instruction & Learning? Remember the focus must be on factors over which you have jurisdiction: Program & program emphasis Time (opportunities to learn) Grouping structures Quality of instruction & program implementation Alter the fewest number of factors possible that provide the greatest return.

Application Activity

At School: Application Activity Plan instruction for your core/benchmark students. Meet with your grade-level team. Document in each column: programs, time, grouping, and assessment the specific information that communicates your plan to teach all children to attain critical benchmarks by January/June. If time permits, proceed to your plan for strategic & intensive intervention.

Professional Development Effective PD practices for reading results include: providing training that is: focused, high quality, on-going providing training for all (teachers, specialists) principal,coach, district, assistants, parents providing training follow-up (coaching and supervision) that is differentiated & empowering The best leaders bring out the best in the people around them.

Operationalizing What Works: Creating a Culture of Success A culture of success for reading results includes: belief in the possibility commitment to priorities & results awareness of urgency visibility of the focus culture of collaboration tone of empowerment It’s not about getting the money. It’s about getting the results.

The ultimate goal of reading instruction is to enable children to read fluently with good comprehension!
