Out of Thin Air: Technology Integration in the Delaware Recommended Curriculum Project Dr. Michael Stetter Director, Curriculum Development Suzanne Keenan Teacher in Residence April 18, 2007

What is the purpose of this presentation?  To provide a brief overview of technology integration into the Delaware Recommended Curriculum Project  To encourage the use of technology to access Delaware Recommended Curriculum materials  To showcase technology integration into various units

What is Delaware’s Recommended Curriculum?

What are the Components of the Recommended Curriculum?  Standards clarifications  Enduring understandings  Essential questions  Model Grade-level syllabi  Model Grade-level transfer tasks/ assessments  Model instructional units * All components are aligned with Content Standards and Grade Level Expectations

A View of Curriculum- Circles The Taught Curriculum The DE Academic Standards The Assessed Curriculum If students receive the bulk of their core instruction on topics and skills not aligned to the standards and assessment expectations, they will not reach proficiency on Delaware State Standards

How can the Delaware Recommended Curriculum help students to succeed?  Focus is on understanding, not just content, and skill acquisition.  Engages students in guided inquiry, practice, active learning, and rethinking.  Assessments designed before the lessons.  Activities and strategies designed to ensure all students are able to meet those targets assessed.
