7. You need...  Grade level KCAS placemat  Your curriculum for your grade level  Sticky notes  Markers  Highlighter  Identifying the Gaps graphic for reference  Identifying the Gaps document for reference

8. What a Gap Is... and Is NOT A Gap IS  Content moved to a previous grade  Altogether new content which students will miss in previous grades A Gap is NOT  Content moved to a later grade  Increased rigor since content is not new

9. This process sets the stage for...  identifying both kinds of gaps.  collaboration in addressing the gaps.  valuable dialogue around the KCAS.  identifying professional development needs for new content and vocabulary.

10. This process sets the stage for...  collaboration to understand & increase rigor.  discussions around content that is no longer part of our standards.

11. What we’ll do We’ll model an abbreviated version of the process so you understand how it works. You’ll modify to meet the needs of your school or district.

12. First, on the KCAS placemat for your grade level...  Highlight what is new.  Underline anything confusing or what you are unsure how to teach.  Star (*) anything you would identify as a significant increase in rigor.

13. On your curriculum...  Highlight what you have been teaching that is NOT in the KCAS for your grade level.

14. Come to consensus on what does NOT show up in the KCAS at your grade level. CHART & POST K 1 2 3 4 5 12

15. Next, Carousel Activity Take with you... – your grade level placemat where you marked what is new. – sticky notes or a marker. Use a sticky or marker to identify what shows up now in the KCAS at your grade level. You can also identify what you’d like to learn more about.

16. Then, back with grade level team Answer the question, Has what you charted been identified in a previous grade’s KCAS?

17. Next Steps, Collaborate to... develop a plan for addressing gaps. Set priorities. identify gaps that may occur with new content at previous grade levels. find effective ways to increase rigor. discuss content no longer included in the KCAS. learn from others

18. Recommendations for Implementation  Modify process to meet the needs of your school. Have all grades represented.  Make sure administrators understand the process.  Begin with a common understanding of what you are looking for.  Define rigor.  Use time saving strategies.  Provide time for and value the conversation.

33. CASL Ch. 6 Written Response Assessments Written Response Students are asked to respond to a question or task with a short answer/extended written response Sound extended written responses do three things:  Set a clear and specific context  Specify the kind of reasoning to be brought to bear  Point the way to an appropriate response without giving too much information Elicits:  Particular content/understanding and reasoning Scoring:  Point specific rubric for content or holistic rubric

35. Performance Assessment What? Assessment Observation and Judgment Students engage in an activity that requires them to apply a performance skill or create a product and we judge its quality. Task: Criteria for Scoring
