2. Let’s list the changes: Teacher Evaluation Instrument Teacher Evaluation Instrument Curriculum Curriculum –Every subject! Assessments Assessments Graduation Requirement Graduation Requirement Student Accountability Standards Student Accountability Standards Accountability Model Accountability Model

3. Why all the change? First of all…the world is a very different place! First of all…the world is a very different place! September 2006 – SBE adopted the mission – “every public school student will graduate from high school, globally competitive for work and postsecondary education, and prepared for life in the 21 st century.” September 2006 – SBE adopted the mission – “every public school student will graduate from high school, globally competitive for work and postsecondary education, and prepared for life in the 21 st century.” –SBE identified five goals to support this mission REPORT FROM THE BLUE RIBBON COMMISSION ON TESTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION REPORT FROM THE BLUE RIBBON COMMISSION ON TESTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION January 2008 January 2008

9. Essential Standards …and the Common Core Please remember: ELA and Math Curriculum will be the Common Core Standards ALL other areas will be the Essential Standards

10. Essential Standards/Common Core: http://www.ncpublicschools.org/acre/standa rds/ http://www.ncpublicschools.org/acre/standa rds/ Instructional Support Tools (Crosswalks): http://www.ncpublicschools.org/acre/standa rds/support-tools/ http://www.ncpublicschools.org/acre/standa rds/support-tools/

11. Similar Goals for Standards North Carolina’s Mandates “Essential” “Narrow” “Deep” “Rigorous + Relevant” “Readiness for College and Career” Common Core “Essential” ”Fewer, Higher, Clearer” ”Focused” “Enduring” “Measurable ” “Clear and Concise” “Prioritized and Focused” ”Rigorous” ”Readiness for College and Career” 11

13. Commonalities in all curriculum areas: 21 st Century teaching and learning Developed based on the Revised Blooms Taxonomy Emphasizes teaching processes to be applied in authentic settings

14. Why are 21 st century skills important?

15. The students! Today’s education faces irrelevance unless we bridge the gap between how students live and how students learn.

16. YouTube - LearnToLearn14's Channel YouTube - LearnToLearn14's Channel Implicit in the word teach is student learning…. If you say you taught something and the students didn’t learn it…did you teach or just present information?

17. But 21 st Century teaching and learning is certainly a lot more than using technology in the classroom!

19. Jigsaw Activity: Divide into groups of 4 or 5 (with those around you) Divide into groups of 4 or 5 (with those around you) Each group will be given 3 categories to discuss Each group will be given 3 categories to discuss Identify SPECIFIC ways your classroom (or school) has shifted from the 20 th Century Paradigm to the 21 st Century Paradigm Identify SPECIFIC ways your classroom (or school) has shifted from the 20 th Century Paradigm to the 21 st Century Paradigm Select one idea to share with the whole group Select one idea to share with the whole group (Discuss for approximately 5 minutes) (Discuss for approximately 5 minutes)

Many thanks to Connie Chappelear, AOP-G Mathematics and Science Regional Center; Martha Fout, Coastal-PeeDee Mathematics and Science Regional Center; and Alice Gilchrist, USSM Mathematics and Science Regional Center for preparing several of the slides (especially the ones that “move.”) The Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy

25. Bloom Revised Bloom Remember Apply Understand Analyze Evaluate Create Evaluation Analysis Synthesis Application Comprehension Knowledge

26. In combination the six revised categories are termed “COGNITIVE PROCESS” CATEGORIES and they exist along the cognitive process dimension.

27. Q: What happened to knowledge? A: It became a separate dimension – The Knowledge Dimension

29. THE TAXONOMY TABLE COGNITIVE PROCESS DIMENSION KNOWLEDGE DIMENSION

31. Remember retrieve relevant knowledge from long term memory – Recognizing – Recalling Can you recall the name of a particular object?

32. Understand Construct meaning from instructional messages, including oral, written and graphic communication. –Interpreting –Exemplifying –Classifying –Summarizing –Inferring –Comparing –Explaining Can you represent verbal information visually (interpreting)?

33. Apply Carry out or use a procedure in a given situation. – Executing – Implementing Can you use information in another situation?

34. Analyze Break material into its constituent parts and determine how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose. – Differentiating – Organizing – Attributing Can you break information into parts to explore relationships?

35. Evaluate make judgments based on criteria and standards –Checking –Critiquing Can you make & justify a decision or course of action?

36. Create Put elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganize elements into a new pattern or structure –Generating –Planning –Producing Can you generate new products, ideas, or ways of viewing things?

38. Factual Knowledge Conceptual Knowledge Procedural Knowledge Metacognitive Knowledge

HOT ARTICHOKE DIP (Serves 10 to 14) 2 14-oz cans artichoke hearts 16 oz. mayonnaise 1 c. grated Parmesan cheese Garlic salt (optional) ==================================== 1.Drain artichoke hearts. 2.Mash artichokes with fork. 3.Mix with mayonnaise, cheese, and garlic salt. 4.Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. 5.Serve with crackers or party rye.

40. Factual Knowledge The basic elements students must know to be acquainted with a discipline or solve problems in it. –Knowledge of terminology –Knowledge of specific details and elements

41. Conceptual Knowledge The interrelationships among the basic elements within a larger structure that enable them to function together. –Knowledge of classifications and categories –Knowledge of principles and generalizations –Knowledge of theories, models and structures

42. Procedural Knowledge How to do something, methods of inquiry and criteria for using skills, algorithms, techniques and methods. –Knowledge of subject-specific skills and algorithms –Knowledge of subject-specific techniques and methods –Knowledge of criteria for determining when to use appropriate procedures

43. Metacognitive Knowledge Knowledge of cognition in general as well as awareness and knowledge or one’s own cognition. –Strategic knowledge –Knowledge about cognitive tasks, including appropriate contextual and conditional knowledge –Self-knowledge How did I get that answer?

48. Don’t forget:

49. Questions or comments about Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (RBT)?

50. Remember: If a child doesn’t know how to read… If a child doesn’t know how to read… –…we teach. If a child doesn’t know how to compute… If a child doesn’t know how to compute… –…we teach. If a child doesn’t know how to behave… If a child doesn’t know how to behave… –…we teach. If a child doesn’t know how to think… If a child doesn’t know how to think… –…we teach!

51. We say, “We didn’t have to be taught how to think!” Where did we learn? Where did we learn?
