Session 2 Agenda
Large Group Session 1 ReviewLocating the New StandardsStandards Division DocumentsBenchmarking/ MSL’sContent-Specific InitiativesTLC Timeline for remainder of 2011-2012
Session 1 Review
• Be able to locate your standards and support tools
• Understand how the standards are written and their characteristics
• Begin the process of unpacking • Understand the purpose of Curriculum
Division Documents and what they look like.• Understand the Next Steps in the Curriculum
Division Document/Benchmarking Process
Considerations for Standards Division
What do students need to know and be able to do during each Standards Division?Characteristics of StandardsExisting ResourcesState Assessment Initiatives (Summative)
MSLs (Measures of Student Learning)
Subject area considerations
Session 1 Review
• Rubicon Atlas (Reference Tab):– www.onslowcounty.rubiconatlas.org
• NC Department of Public Instruction:– http://www.dpi.state.nc.us/acre/
• Science-Unpacked Wiki:– www.science-unpacked.wikispaces.com/
Session 1 Review: Next Steps
How do you begin to “divide” the new Common Core?
How should the “Standards Division Documents” be divided? (6, 9, 18 weeks)
How often should benchmarking be conducted? (6, 9, 18 weeks).
Standards Division Documents
Primary TLC work to be completed during the Spring Semester of 2012.Primary discussion points and work sessions in content break out sessions today.
Benchmarking and MSL’s
• 2012-2013 Benchmarks in Summative Testable Areas– Grades 5 and 8 Science– Biology
• 2012-2013 Assessments: Based on Common Core/Essential Standards; developed in NC; this is a 2-year plan.
Measures of Student Learning
Measures of Student Learning (MSLs), sometimes called “common exams,” are a shared way to gauge student growth in all currently non-tested grades and subjects in the Common Core State Standards for Math and ELA and in the NC Essential Standards. While these measures will be used statewide, they are not the same as our statewide summative assessments in the NC Testing Program: the End-of-Grade and End-of-Course assessments. Districts and charter schools will have flexibility to decide how to use the MSLs as part of students’ grades.NC will implement the MSLs statewide during the 2012-13 school year.
Benchmarking and MSL’s
– Measure of Student Learning (MSL’s)• To be utilized in the state of North Carolina in all
currently non-tested areas.
– Teacher Effectiveness Mandate• Standard 6
– Linked to the State’s Instructional Improvement System (IIS)
– More information forthcoming
Science K-5 Initiatives
1. Curriculum Division Documents for each Grade (to include Literacy Strands for Science)
2. Visual Document for Essential Standards
3. Curriculum Trajectory Diagram for Science K-8
4. Develop the Science-Unpacked Wiki as a resource.
