Goal

  • ISBE Strategic Plan Goal 1.2
    • Assist districts in addressing COVID-19’s impact on learning resulting from the suspension of in-person instruction by providing supports around Priority Learning Standards.
      • By the end of the 2021-22 School Year: 50% of districts that participated in ISBE/ROE-led professional learning will have maintained or improved student performance on state assessments.

Endurance

Will proficiency of this standard provide students with the knowledge and skills that will be of value beyond the present?

English 9-10 Standard:

Determine a central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and refined by specific details; provide an objective summary of the text.

This standard, in particular the skill of providing an objective summary of written passages, will be required for future high school and college courses. It is also likely to be an essential skill in many professions and in everyday life. The standard has a high degree of endurance.

Directions:

  1. Each group will use the hyperlink to the right to access their group folder for this activity.
  2. In your BREAKOUT 1 folder, you will find “PRIORITY STANDARDS WORKSHEET”. Review the decisions made by the team. Use the other resources in the folder to help you. In particular, use the 3rd Grade Data to help finalize decisions on prioritization.
  3. Use the Priority Standards Worksheet to record your decisions.

STEP TWO:

Teacher Clarity

46 of 59

Step 2: Teacher Clarity

Teacher clarity starts with you being clear about what you want your students to learn. But it also involves much more than that. You must also focus and align your assessment, teaching and curriculum in line with this intended learning.

47 of 59

Step 2: Teacher Clarity

Learning targets should clearly states what you expect students to know and be able to do at the end of the lesson(s)

Describe what successful (“on target”) learning looks like

Developed by the teacher through deconstructing and analyzing the curriculum/program expectations linked to the Learning Goal

Directions:

  • Each group will use the hyperlink to the right to access their group folder for this activity. OPEN BREAKOUT 2 FOLDER.
  • Open & review “Teacher Clarity: 3rd Grade Intro to Area”.
  • In your folder, you will find the Math Unit 2 document to provide context and additional information. Use the unit map to refine, critique & add to the Teacher Clarity document.

STEP THREE:

Aligned Assessments & Assessment Systems

51 of 59

Step 3: Assessment

Once consensus has been reached on priority standards, they should be focus for assessment and feedback.

Do our assessments reflect our priorities?

Is each assessment aligned with a purpose?

Are our assessments high quality? (valid, diverse, reliable)

Do we have balanced assessment systems?

How are we providing effective feedback aligned to priorities?

Do our assessments promote student access?
