4Graffiti BoardFor discussionDescribe an A-HA moment experienced
as a result of your work on standards over the past four weeks.
How has your understanding of the standards influenced your
approach to instruction? Or how do you think it will?
What do you hope will result from your participation in this
professional development?
5Anticipated OutcomesBecome active members of a learning
community concerned with the implementation of standardsGain a
common understanding of the benefits and challenges involved in
implementing the standardsLearn to unpack the standards and align
curriculum, texts, and other resources to the standardsCreate
standards-based instructional resources designed to engage
instructors and students with the most important ideas, questions
and skills related to the standards
6Course Goals1. Review the purpose of understanding the
standards and using them with students.2. Develop a consensus with
learning community team a. To unpack the components of standards
andb. To construct real-world activities that align to assigned
standards.3. Apply a process for unpacking the standards by
completing an unpacking chart.4. Reflect on the unpacking
process.Course ObjectivesProgram Directors and Instructors will be
able to...
1. Identify the purpose for using the standards with adult
education and literacy students.

hoursUnit 1B8Aligning Resources to StandardsInstructors need to
know where the gaps are in their current materials so they can fill
them appropriately with other resources.
9Why Align Resources to Standards?Offers a quick way for staff,
especially new staff, to become familiar with a resourceAlerts
staff to where a resource is tightly, partially, or not aligned
with standardsInforms instructors and programs about gaps in
coverage so they can be filledDetermines appropriateness of new
materials and resources10Levels of AlignmentTight Alignment =2
Partial Alignment =1
No Alignment =0
11Resource Alignment GuidelinesFor each resource --List specific
pages/chapters that support the teaching of each standard.Determine
to what extent the resource is aligned with the standard:Tight =
2Partial = 1Not aligned = 0Confirm alignment work: Should the
resource be retained? Does it need to be supplemented?(SIA Guide
Unit 1-14)
12Aligning Resources to Standards(Modeling & Guided
Practice)Examine the standards already unpacked, and determine
where in a resource each standard is addressed.Determine the
tightness of fit (extent of alignment).
13Confirm Alignment WorkOnce resources have been reviewed and
scored, ask the following questions:
How many of the standards are tightly aligned to the resource or
textbook?
How many of the standards are partially aligned or not aligned
to the resource?
Do scores of 2,1, or 0 predominate?
Should the resource by retained? If so, should it be
supplemented?

(SIA Guide Unit 1-16)18Guiding Questions for Planning for
Sustaining UseHow and when will you align the unpacked standards to
resources?How and when will you confirm alignment work?How will you
fill in the gaps of the resources that you have?When will you
determine program needs? Who is going to do it?What resources will
you use?What support will you need?How will you connect the
standards to your courses?
