5. It’s about… Helping our students develop in areas such as:
Letter naming
Book Orientation
Object Counting
Emotional Literacy
Engagement

6. It’s not about…

7. Teaching & Learning is about…
Evidence to UNDERSTAND

8. Knowing and understanding the domains and construct progressions

9. A B Each Teach
Find a partner at your table. Designate one partner as A and one as B.
Partner A reads Engagement in Self Selected Activities: Domain, Claim & Rationale (page 1).
Partner B reads Following Directions: Domain, Claim & Rationale (page 41).
When both are ready, teach your section to your partner.

10. Know your Progressions
Read the scenario.
With your table group, decide whether the scenario is an example of either the Following Directions or Engagement in Self-selected Activities constucts. (Use the blue books.)
Then determine the current learning status for each scenario.

11. Consider this Scenario
Before the start of class, Mario goes to the math center and plays with a bucket of counters. He makes different arrangements and practices counting. He stays there until the start of class.
Which construct? What is the current learning status?

12. Consider this Scenario
After giving the class directions on their Thanksgiving story activity, Donesha and Bryce asked the teacher to come over to see what they were doing. Then they asked, “Mrs. Mann, are we doing this right?”
Which construct? What is the current learning status?

Starting Line
Schools were introduced to NC K-3 FAP and the platform
Teachers required to collect & enter evidence
Teachers determined Summary Statuses on 3 constructs:
Object Counting
Book Orientation
Print Awareness
Our journey with the NC K-3 FAP started this school year with an introduction of the constructs and the platform.

14. NC K-3 Formative Assessment Process Journey 2015-16
Pit Stops
Share 4 of the remaining progressions:
February: Engagement in Self-Selected Activities & Following Directions
March: Emotional Literacy & Letter Naming
Teachers continue to collect evidence & determine Current Learning Statuses for select students
We have developed a timeline for introducing the remaining constructs to teachers to prepare them for the school year. Our intent is to share 2 constructs at today’s and the March IRT meeting. Our hope is that a low pressure exposure to the constructs with ease teacher anxiety and improve comfort levels with using the platform.

Final Destination (April Training)
Share last 2 of the remaining progressions: Fine Motor & Crossing Midline
Discuss the plan for NC K-3 FAP in
Discuss and plan for Staggered Entry Period
Our April KEA meeting represents our final destination for the school year. You and one kindergarten teacher for traditional, modified and track 4 only school and 2 for multi-track year round schools will attend a training in April. There we will explore the remaining 2 constructs, the roll out plan for and changes to staggered entry.
