CSE April 20, 2010

North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards…your

connection…• STANDARD II: Teachers Establish a

Respectful Environment for a Diverse Population of Students

• 2c- Maintain high expectations• 2d- Adapt teaching to benefit students with special needs

• What does that mean for you and what would that look like in your classroom?

Standard III:

• STANDARD III: Teachers know the content they teach• 3a- Develop and apply strategies to make

curriculum rigorous and relevant

• What does that mean for you and what would that look like in your classroom?

Standard IV:

• Teachers Facilitate Learning for their Students– 4a- Understand student learning/ differentiate

instruction; keep abreast of evolving research– 4e- Teacher helps students develop critical-

thinking and problem solving skills

• What does that mean for you and what would that look like in your classroom?

Review & Share Out…

• Anticipation Guide

• Advance Organizer

WHY:• Cornerstone of 21st Century Readiness Skills are:

– Rigor and Relevance– Critical Thinking/ Problem Solving Skills– Inspect what society expects

• NCPTS– 2c- Maintain high expectations– 2d- Adapt teaching to benefit students with special needs– 3a- Develop and apply strategies to make curriculum rigorous

and relevant– 4a- Understand student learning/ differentiate instruction; keep

abreast of evolving research– 4e- Teacher helps students develop critical-thinking and

problem solving skills

• We can use Revised Blooms to analyze the cognitive level of instructional Activities as either Low, Medium or High

All Cognitive Levels are Important

• All Cognitive Levels are Important!

• Cognitive levels build upon and are supported by lower order cognitive processes

• Higher order cognitive activities are more engaging and support deeper learning of content

• Lower Order:

• Remembering: Retrieving, recognizing, and recalling relevant knowledge

• Understanding: Constructing meaning from written or graphic messages through interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, and explaining.

• Medium Order:

• Applying: Carrying out or using a procedure through executing, or implementing.

• Analyzing: Breaking material into constituent parts, determining how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose through differentiating, organizing, and attributing.

•Higher Order:

•Evaluating: Making judgments based on criteria and standards through checking and critiquing.

•Creating: Putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning, or producing.

Reflection

• Does your textbook questions give a balanced opportunity for all cognitive levels?

• What can I /We do to rigor up the questions in my class?

• What additional coaching and support do I/We need?

Knowledge Share

• Share out what your group designed

• How you plan to Racket up the Rigor for this lesson– Learning Objective– Rigorous learning activities

BLOOM’S REVISED TAXONOMY

If you were one of these teachers, what would your PDSA look like in order to impact student learning?

Let’s take a look at your CFAs…

• Using the graphic organizer, you and your team need to analyze either your reading or math CFA or your latest assessment that you have given.

EOG Review/Vertical Alignment

• 3rd-5th Grades: get together and talk about some strategies you will use for EOG review. Please have one person from the group record your responses, and be sure that I get the responses.

• K-2: Divide yourselves up so that there are teams with K/1, 1st/ 2nd, and 2nd/3rd. We will need a 3rd grade teacher to go to the 2nd grade team. Talk about some objectives that you could begin to cover as we are nearing the end of the school year. Record your responses on sheet provided, and be sure that Fail gets a copy.

Feedback

• Please leave feedback on today’s HYIS/Bloom’s Session & the early release process. (2 separate plus/deltas)

• Have a great day!!
