• Dana Twyman• Mara Schanfield• Leo Jones• Angela Marino

Mock EWI Meeting

• Materials are available

Samples of Implementation Data

• 4 of 8 teachers are implementing cooperative learning strategies

• After school program has on average 7 attendees each afternoon

• Mentees are using inconsistent approaches to having conversations with students

• 2 of the 5 tutors are using the strategies that they were trained on in August

Agenda

• Awareness of Common Core• What is the TDS blueprint - video• How do we impact instruction - video– How can team’s impact this?– How do I connect to tiered supports?– How can this build a common culture?

• Leveraging City Year to impact student learning• How do I Facilitate? Who do I coordinate with?

Goals for This Morning

• Develop awareness of CCSS and their intended impact on classroom practices

• Examine underpinnings of Talent Development Secondary approach to Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment

• Identify supporting roles in a DN school for impacting classroom practices

• Move toward a more integrated approach

Students receiving the instruction and support that they need

Adults receiving the support they need to provide strong instruction and support

TDS Curriculum, Instruction, and Professional Development

• High implementation for CCSS or state standards

• High Implementation of TDS blueprint• Job embedded support• Access to real-time data• TDS curriculum

Common Core State StandardsFour Corners

Corner 1 - My understanding of the CCSS in extensiveCorner 2 – I am beginning to explore websites and documents about CCSS and have some understandingCorner 3 – I have very little understandingCorner 4 – I have no understanding

Please generate at your corner something(s) your group agrees on for the “Know” Piece of your KWLPlease generate the top 3 items you Want to Know

Overview of Mathematics Standards• •Grade Level Standards• •K -8 grade-by-grade standards organized by domain• •9 -12 high school standards organized by conceptual

categories• •Standards for Mathematical Practice• •Describe mathematical “habits of mind” • •Standards for mathematical proficiency: • •Reasoning• •Problem solving• •Modeling• •Decision making• •Engagement • •Connect with content standards in each grade

Overview Middle Grades Mathematics Standards•Focus learning on geometry, algebra, probability and statistics •Ratio and proportional reasoning provide the lens through which multiplication and division are explored•Algebraic structure develops through the properties of operations•The concept of function develops as quantitative relationships are explored•Foundations of deductive geometry are set•Data representation, begun in grades K –5, provides the foundation for the study of statistics in grades 6 –8

Overview of High School Mathematics Standards• Expect students to practice applying mathematical ways

of thinking to real world issues and challenges• Require students to develop a depth of understanding

and ability to apply mathematics to novel situations, as college students and employees regularly are called to do

• Emphasize mathematical modeling, the use of mathematics and statistics to analyze empirical situations, understand them better, and improve decisions

• Identify the mathematics that all students should study in order to be college and career ready

Supports for Teachers to Build Capacity and Increase Awareness

• Curriculum mapping • Facilitated common planning time for all

teaching a specific math course• CCSS library of materials, resources and

information with easy accessibility• Professional development • Collaborative sessions around student work

Please return to your corner and discuss one or two items you would like to add to the Learn column from this session.

CIA Blueprint activity

• “+,” highlights, “-” in the blueprint• Find a protocol, rules, etc. that use this

strategy.• Debrief as table groups• Find one thing that you all gave a plus to• Find one thing that you all had a question or

“-” on

Pulling it all together to impact Instruction

• Leveraging human resources in your school

• Connections to tiered student response

Planning Lessons to leverage City Year CM impact

Professional Development With City Year

• Once per month sessions to support Corps Members in their support of students

• Connected to needs at the school and focus of implementation

Connections to Tiered Interventions

Connecting EWI Data to Classroom Practice

Course Performance DataWhich data are we examining?

One or Two Indicators to Put this Data in Context % of students making 1 or more grade level of

progress % of students involved in acceleration classes,

tutoring, other interventions

Connecting EWI Data to Classroom Practice

Data surfaces: Failure math in 9th grade Algebra exceeds 50% across teams

Coach and Content Teachers Agree on Strategy:

Data sources: % of students at ___ or higher on assessments and report card grades

Continuum of Coaching Supports

Facilitating professional development, modeling,

bringing teams together around data/artifacts

Basic Needs-Materials, Schedules, Data

Supporting self directed learning, coaching conversations, & goal

setting
