1. Our data is in… Now what do we do?

4. Schools must ask four critical questions …
1. What is it we want our students to learn?
2. How will we know when they’ve learned it?
3. What are we prepared to do as a school when they’re not learning?
4. What are we prepared to do as a school when they already know the content?

Standards provide the focus. They provide the yardstick for evaluating all aspects of schooling.

10. According to Larry Ainsworth, the major components of a standards- based instruction and assessment system include:
1. Identifying the Power (Essential) Standards - Blueprint
2. “Unwrapping” the standards; Creating Big Ideas and Essential Questions
3. Creating formative and summative assessments
4. Collaborative scoring of student work, including implications for grading
5. Data-driven instructional decision making, including implications for intervention and acceleration
