1. Session 2 Study Expectations Please share the DOK levels you assigned for each standard listed on the handouts and briefly justify the level chosen.

3. Studies have shown that students understand and retain knowledge best when they have applied it in a practical, relevant setting. A teacher who relies on lecturing does not provide students with optimal learning opportunities. Instead, students go to school to watch the teacher work. All educators can use Daggett’s Rigor/Relevance Framework to set their own standards of excellence as well as to plan the objectives they wish to achieve. This versatile Framework applies to standards, curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Source: http://www.leadered.com/pdf/academicexcellence.pdfhttp://www.leadered.com/pdf/academicexcellence.pdf

7. Language Arts Label the phrases and clauses in a writing sample Identify the parts of a circle Mathematics I went to the store.

8. Language Arts Explain how an adjective helps the reader understand the intended imagery Explain why two different fractions are equivalent, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4 Mathematics

9. Language Arts Choose which verb, adjective, adverb, phrase, etc. makes an original writing stronger and use those in the writing. If your candy bar purchase costs $1.22, how much change will you receive if you pay using a $5.00 bill? Mathematics

10. Language Arts Examine how other writers use certain parts of speech and the impact their choices have on meaning. Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations Mathematics

11. Language Arts Study three different writers and glean one characteristic from each writer and create an original piece that depicts the three characteristics. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem by creating and solving real-world problems involving painting a two-story building using an extension ladder. Mathematics

12. Language Arts Appraise your own essay and evaluate your style. Develop a probability model, use it, and compare the results to observed frequencies. Evaluate the reasons for discrepancies. Mathematics

13. Teachers should encourage students to APPLY knowledge rather than to focus exclusively on acquiring knowledge.

14. Discuss with your group some methods you use to make learning rigorous and relevant for students to prepare them for challenges in their world.

16. Read the following standard and think about its intent: CC.6.EE.1 (Expressions & Equations - 6 th ) Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole number exponents. What are the verbs? What is the DOK level for the standard?

17. The intent of this standard is for students to become familiar with writing numbers with exponents. Students will also be able to recognize that a number raised to another number becomes a larger number. For example: 2² = 4 and 5³ = 125

18. ELACC2RL2 Recount stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral. What are the verbs? What is the DOK level for the standard?

19. The intent of this standard to relate or narrate different types of stories from different cultures and to decide what the main message, lesson, or moral is of each story. Students will also be able to understand the different types of stories, as well as what “diverse cultures” mean. For example: Osborne, Mary Pope. The One-Eyed Giant (Book One of Tales from the Odyssey)—Source: Appendix B-- CCSSI ELACC2RL2 Recount stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral.

20. Work independently to determine the intent of each standard and to identify the verbs. Create appropriate assessment questions for each standard. Remember to pay attention to the DOK level for each standard as you create your assessment item! Share and discuss the assessment questions with your group.

21. Participants will select one standard from each strand/domain in their grade/content area and list the verbs. Determine the intent of each standard and create an appropriate assessment question. Study Expectation

22. As a team, take a few minutes to discuss your plan for redelivery. School Team Plan Dates, times, and locations for each session Roll of each redelivery team member Organization of redelivery (grade level, content area, entire faculty) Accountability for attendance and study expectations
