Identifying the Learning Requirements for Your Class and/or Level What do my students need to know and be able to do as a result of being in my class?

STEP 1: SETTING AND COMMUNICATING DIRECTION  Be clear about the learning requirements for your class, course, or program. Determine how you will communicate these standards to ensure that your students and their families understand the learning requirements of your class, course or program. Clarify and communicate the learning requirements.

STEP 1: SETTING AND COMMUNICATING DIRECTION  Remember.... Learning Requirements are the WHAT! WHAT do my students need to be able to do as a result of being in this class? Clarify and communicate the learning requirements.

Important: As teachers, we don’t get to negotiate the WHAT – we are expected to align the works in our classroom to learning requirements like Common Core Standards!

STEP 1: SETTING AND COMMUNICATING DIRECTION  First, let’s be clear on what needs to go ABOVE the line and BELOW the line... Clarify and communicate the learning requirements.

Learning Goal Teaching & Learning Processes Teaching & Learning Processes Teaching & Learning Processes Teaching & Learning Processes 6 6 Setting Direction: Steps 1-4… Engaging Students in Improving the Learning Process: Steps 5-8… Steps Learning Requirements Class/Department Mission Statement Alignment to the CIP and Strategic Plan

FIRST, LETS LOOK AT THE PIECES ABOVE THE LINE... Alignment to the CIP and Strategic Plan We need to be sure that what we are doing is aligning to the goal areas within the Continuous Improvement Plan: Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Innovation, or College and Career Readiness.

FIRST, LETS LOOK AT THE PIECES ABOVE THE LINE... This is your initial pre-testing that you did that shows the needs of your group and your baseline data for your learning goal! Keep in mind that this graph gets added to as evidence to students that when we focus on specific skill sets our score increases which contributes to our overall success in any given area!

FIRST, LETS LOOK AT THE PIECES ABOVE THE LINE... Learning Requirements Learning Requirements are what students need to know be able to do as a result of being in this class, course, or program. The Learning Requirements are what we will work on identifying today! Essentially the learning requirements will be the same for everyone since we are using Common Core!

FIRST, LETS LOOK AT THE PIECES ABOVE THE LINE... Learning Requirements What your learning requirements are depends on your department! ELA, Social Studies, CTE, Foreign Language & Science College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards MathCommon Core State Standards for Mathematics P.E. and ArtsYou fall into a unique category because you are performance based departments! Your learning requirements will revolve around what your students will be able to do. We will work with you individually!

So, the learning requirements that you will post will be: Reading Craft and Structure Integration of Knowledge and Ideas Range of Reading & Level of Text Complexity Writing Text Types and Purposes Production and Distribution of Writing Research to Build & Present Knowledge Range of Writing Speaking & Listening Comprehension & Collaboration Key Ideas and Details Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas Language Conventions of Standard English Knowledge of Language Vocabulary Acquisition & Use These will be the same for most classrooms except for Math – and thanks to Deb we will be given posters of the above to put ABOVE THE LINE on our PDSA boards (MATH TOO)!

Math – These are YOUR learning requirements… Number & Quantity Algebra FunctionsGeometry Statistics & Probability Quantities The Complex Number System Vector and Matrix Quantities Seeing Structure in Expressions Arithmetic w/Polynomials & Rational Expressions Creating Equations Reasoning w/Equations & Inequalities Interpreting Functions Building Functions Linear, Quadratic & Exponential Models Trigonometric Functions Modeling is best interpreted not as a collection of isolated topics but rather in relation to other standards. Making mathematical models is a Standard for Mathematical Practice, and specific modeling standards appear throughout the high school standards indicated by a star symbol ( ★ ). Congruence Similarity, Right Triangles, & Trigonometry Circles Geometric Measurement & Dimension Modeling with Geometry Expressing Geometric Properties w/Equations Interpreting Categorical & Quantitative Data Making Inferences & Justifying Conclusions Conditional Probability & the Rules of Probability Using Probability to Make Decisions The Real Number System ★ Modeling
