Requirements, and Cocurricular Program. (d) The local school board shall require that a high school credit can be earned by
demonstrating mastery of required competencies for the course, as approved by
certified school personnel. Each high school shall determine the number of credits
to be awarded for successful demonstration of competencies following completion
of a classroom course, independent study, distance learning course, or extended
learning opportunity. One credit shall equate to the level of rigor and achievement
necessary to master competencies that have been designed to demonstrate the
knowledge and skills necessary to progress toward college level and career work.
Determination of the weight of each course competency on which credit is based,
as well as the degree of mastery on which credit will be granted, shall be a local
decision.

TA #12 Competency Assessment of Student Mastery (2006) State Standards indicate that local districts must have a competency
assessment process and defined competencies in place by the 2008-2009
school year. The school approval standards state that local school boards
may implement competency assessment of student mastery at the high
school level at any time, but it is not required by the state standards until the
2008-2009 school year.

COMMONALITIES AT THE CORE
26
AT THE CORE OF ALL THESE STANDARDS IS: • REASONING WITH EVIDENCE. • BUILDING ARGUMENTS AND CRITIQUING THE ARGUMENTS
OF OTHERS. • DEVELOPING RIGOROUS, CONCEPTUALLY STRONG,
EVIDENCE-BASED THINKING PRACTICES. • PARTICIPATING IN REASONING-ORIENTED PRACTICES AND
ACTIONS WITH OTHERS. A FEW MORE OF THESE PRACTICES SEEM TO RELATE EXPLICITLY TO SENSE-MAKING AND DISCUSSION: REASONING, IN THE SERVICE OF MAKING ARGUMENTS THAT SUPPORT AND JUSTIFY ACTIONS.

• REQUIRES THAT TEACHERS FOCUS MORE ATTENTION ON
REASONING AND “THINKING PRACTICES.”
• REQUIRES STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN MAKING THEIR

• STUDENTS WILL NEED GUIDANCE TO MAKING THEIR

• Visible
• Public
• Available to others

TEACHERS WILL HAVE TO HELP ALL STUDENTS: • EXTERNALIZE THEIR THINKING;
• LISTEN CAREFULLY TO ONE ANOTHER AND TAKE ONE ANOTHER SERIOUSLY;
• DIG DEEPER INTO THE DATA AND EVIDENCE FOR THEIR POSITIONS;
• WORK WITH THE REASONING OF OTHERS.

COMMON PRACTICES IN TEACHING
29
Points to Consider:
• “Reasoning practices” in all content areas have to be enacted, and
for learners, most are enacted socially, through talk and writing.
• “Social” does not just mean student-led group work. Well-
structured social interaction builds in time to think as an individual – making thinking available - metacognition.
These are hallmarks of Family & Consumer Sciences teaching.

THE GOOD NEWS
30
“Reasoning” practices are common to all modern standards. Big bang for the buck.
The practices of discussion transfer from one content domain to another.
We now know a great deal about how to induct students, from all backgrounds, into these reasoning practices, through rigorous, content-rich, teacher-guided discussions.
Good teaching has always supported these practices.
Family & Consumer Science teachers are already there.

THE BAD NEWS
31
The dominant forms of talk in classrooms — recitation and direct
instruction — do NOT support reasoning, building arguments with
evidence, explaining, critiquing, and building common ground.
Teachers are often not well-prepared to lead academically
productive, reasoning-oriented discussions.
Teachers often rely on group work, hoping that the hands-on
activities, in small groups, will teach the students what they need to
learn.
Many teachers have a hard time running the discussions. Deep
discussions are often skipped due to lack of time.
