Today's Outcomes• Ensure a common understanding of
curriculum and alignment concepts and terms
•Deepen understanding of the alignment process
•Learn how to use (and how to train others to use) the ICAT tool

Success CriteriaAt the end of today’s session, your team will be able to…
• prepare the I-CAT for use in your district (administrative level).
• train and support your teachers in using the I-CAT (teacher level).
• generate reports from the I-CAT.

The process to be used was strongly influenced by the following resources:
• Surveys of Enacted Curriculum http://www.seconline.org
• Webb Tools http://facstaff.wcer.wisc.edu/normw/

The 1st phase of alignment will focus on:
• Intended Curriculum to Enacted Curriculum
I
A E
• Summative self- reports
• Observation & dialogue
• On-going conversations

So… what’s the big deal about alignment?
Why does it matter if instructional content (your enacted curriculum) aligns with your intended curriculum?
(the Iowa Core’s Essential Concepts, Skills, and Standards)
The Policy The Purpose & Potential
(The research regarding best practice)
![Page 10: Welcome to I-CAT Training! Iowa Core Outcome 4 …increase the degree of alignment of each and every student’s enacted curriculum … to the Iowa Core I A](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649de55503460f94add40d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Policy:The Iowa Core was signed into law…
• Senate File 2216 was passed in April 2008
• Implementation plan requirements outlined by the Department of Education
• Organized into 6 outcomes (Outcome 4: Alignment)
![Page 11: Welcome to I-CAT Training! Iowa Core Outcome 4 …increase the degree of alignment of each and every student’s enacted curriculum … to the Iowa Core I A](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649de55503460f94add40d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
6 Outcomes (Iowa Core Implementation Plan)
1. Leadership2. Community3. Continuous Improvement4. ALIGNMENT5. Professional Development6. Characteristics of Effective Instruction
![Page 12: Welcome to I-CAT Training! Iowa Core Outcome 4 …increase the degree of alignment of each and every student’s enacted curriculum … to the Iowa Core I A](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649de55503460f94add40d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Outcome 4 District/School leaders and other educators monitor and use data to increase the degree of alignment of each and every student’s enacted curriculum and other relevant educational opportunities to the Iowa Core. (intended curriculum)
Policy
![Page 13: Welcome to I-CAT Training! Iowa Core Outcome 4 …increase the degree of alignment of each and every student’s enacted curriculum … to the Iowa Core I A](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649de55503460f94add40d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
If district/school leaders (administrators, teachers, and the school board) and other educators monitor and increase the degree of alignment between the intended, enacted, and assessed curriculum, then the quality of instruction will improve and student learning and performance will increase.
Purpose & Potential

What Works in Schools… Marzano(School level factors that contribute most to school effectiveness)

1.Guaranteed & viable curriculum
What Works in Schools… Marzano
Guaranteed: • Clearly articulated content… addressed in specific
courses and at specific grade levels… regardless of the teacher a student is assigned to… for ALL students
Viable: • Adequate time for addressing the
articulated content…

“Opportunity to Learn”The Research:
What do you think this phrase might
mean?
![Page 17: Welcome to I-CAT Training! Iowa Core Outcome 4 …increase the degree of alignment of each and every student’s enacted curriculum … to the Iowa Core I A](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649de55503460f94add40d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Opportunity to learn refers to equitable conditions or circumstances within the school or classroom that promote learning for all students. It includes the provision of curricula, learning materials, facilities, teachers, and instructional experiences that enable students to achieve high standards. This term also relates to the absence of barriers that prevent learning.
“Opportunity to Learn”
![Page 18: Welcome to I-CAT Training! Iowa Core Outcome 4 …increase the degree of alignment of each and every student’s enacted curriculum … to the Iowa Core I A](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649de55503460f94add40d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In this chapter… we focus on Opportunity to Learn (OTL) in the
narrowest sense:
students’ content exposure.

The Research:

The Research: Opportunity to Learn
• Read the excerpt from the article• Look for the 4 general findings about U.S. curricula• Jot down ideas as you read
Individually…
Collectively…• Engage in conversation about…
• What is the current status of YOUR district in regard to these 4 issues?

So… how do we do it?

Iowa Curriculum Alignment Tool
I-CAT (Firefox is the preferred browser to use with I-CAT)
![Page 25: Welcome to I-CAT Training! Iowa Core Outcome 4 …increase the degree of alignment of each and every student’s enacted curriculum … to the Iowa Core I A](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649de55503460f94add40d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The mindset necessary for this work:
• Not evaluative or judgmental
• Requires both individual work and collaborative work
• Individual reflection and data entry• Collaborative conversations and data analysis

Possible Next-Steps for schools/districts, after teachers complete the ‘first pass’ with ICAT…
• Determine a schedule for on-going alignment activities
• Use the alignment data generated to…
oCreate a database of grade and course sequences that ensure an opportunity to learn the full Iowa Core for every student
oCreate & add, modify or eliminate content from instruction to ensure sufficient opportunity to learn for every student
oEngage in professional development (or seek advice from content specialists) on course/instructional design
