What are Standards?

• Educational standards define the knowledge and skills students should possess at critical points in their educational career.

• In other words….

“What is it we want students to know and do?”

Page 3: A Standards Based Education Hortonville Area School District August 30 th, 2011.

Why a standards based curriculum?

• Because such a “guaranteed and viable curriculum” is perhaps the most significant school factor that affects learning. (What Works in Schools: Translating Research in Action, Marzano, 2003 p.22)

Page 4: A Standards Based Education Hortonville Area School District August 30 th, 2011.

What the heck is a guaranteed curriculum?

• Dr. Bob says it, “assures us that specific content is taught in specific courses and at specific grade levels, regardless of he teacher to whom a student is assigned.”(Leaders of Learning, DuFour & Marzano, 2011,p.91)

• At the same time? On the same page? Are we all just robots doing the bidding of an evil curriculum director?

Viable?

• Again, back to researcher Bob, “viable indicates that there is enough instructional time available to actually teach the content identified as important.” (Leaders of Learning, DuFour & Marzano, 2011,p.91)

• Oh I see, a mile wide and an inch deep, right?

English/Language Arts, Math, Literacy

• ELA and Math have begun to study and even unpack these standards for our district.

• Haven’t seen that yet? You will…and will have input.

• Literacy standards for Grades 6-12 in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects are found on page 59 of the ELA Common Core

http://www.corestandards.org/assets/CCSSI_ELA%20Standards.pdf

Shared Responsibility

• In order to be College and Career Ready upon graduation from high school, the Common Core State Standards “insist” that literacy is to be a “shared” responsibility across the school district.

• Wait a tick, does that mean if I am teaching art or physical education I need to use the six traits of writing and follow these literacy standards?

What about Science and Social Studies Common Core?

• Science-Grade band vs. Grade level.– July of 2010…or January of 2011 or January of

2011 ….now…– June of 2012. WHAT!?

• Social Studies- Grade band vs. Grade band– No timeline has ever been set– The selection committee for writer’s of the

framework has not be completed.
