Science as inquiry in the grade level

indicators –

• Compare and contrast scientific

theories.

• Know that both direct and indirect

observations are used by scientists to

study the natural world and universe.

• Identify questions and concepts that

guide scientific investigations.

• Formulate and revise explanations

and models using logic and evidence.

• Recognize and analyze alternative

explanations and models.

Why Are Essential Elements Important?

15

Linkage Levels

• ELA and mathematics– Initial Precursor (IP)– Distal Precursor (DP)– Proximal Precursor (PP)– Target (T)– Successor (S)

• Science– Initial (I)– Precursor (P)– Target (T)

• With the exception of writing testlets, which combine Essential Elements and linkage levels, each DLM testletassesses a single Essential Element at a single linkage level through the administration of several items.


Linkage Levels

EXAMPLE

16

17

DLM Essential Elements and linkage levels pertain to standards—the “what to teach.”

They are not curriculum.

18

The DLM Consortium does not provide or promote any particular packaged curriculum.

Mini-Map

EXAMPLE

38

Mini‐maps provide teachers with a better understanding of how to help a student progress

and give students more opportunities to learn.

39

At which linkage level is a student currently?

How much time might be needed for the student to learn this skill?

What kinds of lessons and materials might be effective in teaching this skill?

Are there other skills that we could work on in the process?

How can instructional units meet the needs of multiple students?

• Currently Tested Essential Elements (AEC in PA)– Linkage levels– Mini-maps

STRATEGIES FOR APPROACHING INSTRUCTION

42

inclusion?


43

How Many Standards and Testlets?

ELA—9 testletstotal, each a single Essential Element except 1 that is a writing testlet that combines all writing Essential Elements for the grade

Mathematics—6‐8 testlets depending on the grade

Science—9 testletsregardless of the grade band

Scope of Instruction

44

Should one Essential Element and linkage level be taught at a time?

45

Suggestion

• Compare Essential Elements by – claims/conceptual areas, domains/core ideas/topics– linkage levels– grade/grade band

56

Don’t Forget About Familiar Texts!• Are familiar texts only useful in instruction for the

Initial Precursor and Distal Precursor linkage levels?

• Are other grade-level texts that are not listed as familiar texts acceptable to use?

— No! They may be used in instruction for all linkage levels, but only appear in testlets for lower linkage levels.

— Of course! The DLM Consortium does not limit or dictate what texts may be used for instruction on Essential Elements.

65

What’s the Point of All This?

The same texts and materials can be used to address multiple Essential Elements and linkage levels.

Essential Elements can be taught conceptually with individual student practice focusing on the linkage level that meets their instructional needs.

66

Take-Aways

Spend some time becoming familiar with Essential Elements for your student’s grade(s).

Think conceptually and look for ways to combine Essential Elements to build instructional units.

Use linkage levels to help students practice skills included in your lessons.

Use mini‐maps to determine possible routes a student might take from one skill level to the next.
