3. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au 1. Intended Outcomes of Piloting Know and understand Similarities and differences between current and renewed NT Curriculum Framework Similarities and differences between learning design process and current processes What aspects of both documents enable better learning design and assessment Be able to use the learning design process to develop a learning sequence or program with a focus on: Using the renewed NT Curriculum Framework to identify what learners need to learn Using the renewed NT Curriculum Framework to describe how you will know learners have demonstrated the targeted / expected outcomes Using the NT Curriculum Framework to make judgments about the learning achievements Provide content, structure, perception and level of use feedback to Expert Focus Groups

4. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au 2. Gathering baseline data of our perceptions and use of the NTCF Stages of Concern question Stages of Concern continua Using the data to inform professional learning needs

5. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au Gathering baseline data: What are our perceptions? “A concern is a perception, idea, thought or feeling and can be positive or negative”

6. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au What are your concerns? On separate pieces of paper or in an email with headers for each question, please answer the following questions and send your responses to learne.dunne@nt.gov.aulearne.dunne@nt.gov.au Level 3: When you think about planning using the current NTCF what are your concerns? Level 4: When you think about assessing using the current NTCF what are your concerns? Both Level 3 and 4 : When you think about designing for learning using the renewed NTCF what are your concerns?

7. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au Speaking Notes Slide 3 and 5 Concerns will be coded in relation to the Stages of Concern continuum in the Concerns Based Adoption Model The Stages of Concern information will give pilot coordinators information about the nature of professional support you and teachers in general will need in implementing the new NTCF You will be asked to share your concerns throughout the pilot –Prior to using the new NTCF materials –Immediately following use of the NTCF materials for planning and/ or assessing –At the end of the piloting period Individuals and schools can receive information regarding the nature of concerns throughout the pilot AwarenessInformationPersonalManagementConsequenceCollaborationRefocusing

8. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au Identifying Stages of Concern Stages of ConcernExpressions of Concern Stage 6: Refocusing I have some ideas about something that would work even better. Stage 5: Collaboration I am concerned about relating what I am doing with what my co-workers are doing. Stage 4: Consequence How is my use affecting clients? Stage 3: Management I seem to be spending all of my time getting materials ready. Stage 2: Personal How will using it affect me? Stage 1: Informational I would like to know more about it. Stage 0: Awareness I am not concerned about it. IMPACT TASK SELF Hall & Hord, p. 63

9. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au Speaking Notes Why renew NT Teachers Feedback from teachers 2000 – present indicates that: –Outcomes and indicators are too broad and general –Too much flexibility in content –Indicators are combination of examples, activities, mini-outcomes –Difficult to use to make judgments about student evidence of learning, does not build consistency of judgment –Teachers new to NT need considerable orientation to use the document for purpose intended –Outcomes often selected based on where year level expected to be not where students demonstrating at NT Board of Studies –Asked for a review of the NTCF 5 years after implementation which started in 2001 Federal Government –NT signed commitment to embed National Statements of Learning English, Mathematics, Science, ICT and Civics & Citizenship into curriculum –National Curriculum and National Assessment Program needs to be reflected in documents and documents used to contribute to these reforms

10. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au 3. Why change the current NTCF? NT Teachers –Feedback from teachers NT Board of Studies –Review needed 2006 Federal Government –Agreement 2006-2007 National Statements of Learning –Respond to National curriculum and assessment agenda

14. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au Speaking Notes – NTCF Structure Outcomes –Describe the integrated learning at the strand level Key Learnings –these are the content standards and describe what we expect to see when a collection of student evidence demonstrates the Solid level of performance. –It is essential to see all these descriptors. –It is intended they will help teachers in making more consistent judgments –If learners are not demonstrating these they are either demonstrating at a lower level or emerging at this level. If learners are demonstrating more than this they are demonstrating at the next level or a comprehensive demonstration Elaborations –these have been scoped and sequenced using a cognitive development model called the Structure of Observed Learning Outcome –They further describe the essential components of the Outcomes

18. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au Speaking Notes Teachers Story This table is the teachers story. Like all good stories has chapters with each chapter linking the one previous and the one following. The first chapter identifies the ‘complication’ or issue / problem or area for your investigation as a piloter. For example, will the renewed NTCF help me better plan lessons to improve students writing. You will measure this by looking at student work (Chapter 2 and 3) and communicate these findings to colleagues, piloting team, and students (Chapter 4) The table also shows that the renewed NT Curriculum Framework is one of three system initiatives for supporting teachers to plan and assess learning. These initiatives aim to bring together Curriculum (NTCF), Pedagogy (T&LF) and Assessment (A& R policy) a necessary element of a system that improves student outcomes. As a piloter you will be working across these chapters of the teachers story depending on the level at which you are piloting: At this point I ask you to think about your area for investigation in this pilot. –Level 3 only – Teaching and Learning, Gathering Evidence –Level 4 only – Gathering Evidence, Judging –Level 3 and 4 – all chapters

DET Victoria, Assessment Professional Learning Module 5: Making Consistent Judgments Assessment AS learning: occurs when students reflect on and monitor their progress to inform their future learning goals. Assessment OF learning: occurs when teachers use evidence of student learning to make judgements on student achievement against goals and standards. How will we know when learners have achieved the learning outcomes? Assessment design

48. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au How will we know when learners have achieved the learning outcomes? Assessment design Method and Possible Tasks Assessment as learning – learner driven and informs learner of where at in relation to goals Assessment for learning – informs teachers of what’s next Assessment of learning – to make judgment about progress and achievement

49. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au How will we know learners have achieved the learning outcomes? Assessment design Method of Assessment Reliability and comparability How accurately does the collected evidence reflect what the learner knows and can do? Curriculum relevance Do the tasks represent all the valued learning you want the students to have undertaken? Do they assess a sample of all the important aspects of the learning? Instructional utility How useful is the method in yielding insights into students knowledge and conceptual understandings and can be used to guide teaching and learning? Fairness Are the tasks constructed, presented and conducted so that all students have an equal chance of demonstrating their learning against the NTCF? Do the assessment tasks require specific knowledge or skills which some students may not have, and which have not been explicitly taught? Practical Convenience Is the method and task easily incorporated into classroom activities?

50. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au How will we know when learners have achieved the learning outcomes?

61. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au Speaking Notes for Planning for Learning Using the renewed NTCF with the learning design model requires educators to change their knowledge and practice Robert Marzano provides a model for planning professional learning that enables educators to change knowledge and practices and improve student outcomes Use the model to plan your professional learning journey – how can you work through the phases with colleagues in your school or if you are a sole ‘piloter’ with other piloters

62. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au Phase I: Develop a model or language of instruction for yourself, team or school. Ensuring Effective Instructional Practices (Marzano, 2007) Phase IV: Monitor the effectiveness of your and your colleagues use of the model on your knowledge and practices AND on student learning. Invite and give feedback. Phase III: Establish a systematic way for you and your colleagues to observe each other using the model to plan, teach, and assess learning. Phase II: Develop a systematic way for you and your colleagues to interact about teaching, learning and assessing using the model. Readiness: Systematically explore and examine the teaching and learning model.

63. DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au Speaking notes professional learning that improves student outcomes Piloting the renewed NTCF needs to ensure student outcomes improve The new NTCF used with the Learning Management Questions should improve student outcomes This model of designing a learning plan for yourself will help you plan for three inquiries –1. Identifying what learners already know and what they need to improve / change (answering these answers the first 2 learning management questions) –2. Reflecting on what you have done as a teacher to contribute to these outcomes, what planning, teaching, assessing strengths you want to continue and what you need to learn to do –3. Monitoring and measuring the effectiveness of your learning using student outcomes Now it’s your turn to develop a learning question and plan this slide scaffolds the question and provides a model for planning your actions

DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au Planning my inquiry Teaching and Learning Gathering Evidence Judging and Recording Evidence Feedback and Reporting What do your learners need to learn? How have I contributed to these outcomes? What do we already know works? What do your learners already know? What sources of evidence have we used? What do your learners already know? What do we need to learn to do to achieve these student outcomes? What sources of knowledge can we use?
