2013-2014 Math Kick-Off Meeting

What you need:-Math

WHAT are we doing? Full implementation of CCSS for ELA and

Math Louisiana’s hybrid version of PARCC

assessment for standardized testing SLT’s for all subjects (that can be used to “pull

up” your student performance score for VAM) Edline (when ready) for communication with

parents about classroom assignments, tests, etc.

Paper/pencil benchmark tests from OPSB (not Eagle)

HOW to Use Backward Design in CCSS Instructional Planning

Step 1: Identify target CCSS standards.

A. Referenced in OPSB /LDOE Unit Plans (L.6.2, RI.6.4)

B. Found in the LDOE Toolbox

C. Available at corestandards.org • RP – Ratio Proportion

• NS – Number Systems

• EE – Expressions/Equations

• G – Geometry

• SP – Statistics/Probablility

Step 2. Determine acceptable levels of evidence that support mastery of standards.

A. Daily/Weekly formative assessment

B. Mid-Unit and Unit summative assessment

C. LDOE End-of-Year Assessment Guidance

D. PARCC Sample Items (extra for 14-15)

E. PARCC Evidence Tables

HOW to Use Backward Design in CCSS Instructional Planning

Step 3. Design activities that will make desired results happen.

A. Design lesson plans with daily activities that use formative assessments to track progress

B. Create summative assessments that move students closer to the level of work that will be expected on standardized tests

WHEN do I need to start?

Researching, planning and developing lessons, units, etc. - NOW!

Determining where my students are academically – now and when benchmark tests are available and you are ready.

Academic Language for ALL Subjects

How many ways can you word a prompt? › Justify > Explain > Show Work…

What are the different meanings for prompts between subjects?› Math – Justify your work for this problem…› ELA - Justify your response with evidence

from text… › Science – Justify your hypothesis…› Social Studies – Justify your position on this

argument… OJHS Word Families Project

WHY does this matter?

We must give our students all the tools they need to show that they can do this work.

If the students succeed, we succeed…

3 Shifts in Mathematics

The Common Core State Standards signify the need to change practice in at least three primary areas: › Content – WHAT you teach › Instruction – HOW you teach › Assessment – HOW students show

evidence of mastery

PARCC’s Core Commitments to Mathematics Assessment Quality

Focus: PARCC assessments will focus strongly on where the Standards focus. Students will have more time to master concepts at a deeper level.

Problems worth doing: Multi-step problems, conceptual questions, applications, and substantial procedures will be common, as in an excellent classroom.

Better Standards Demand Better Questions: Instead of reusing existing items, PARCC will develop custom items to the Standards.

Fidelity to the Standards (now in Teacher’s hands): PARCC evidences are rooted in the language of the Standards so that expectations remain the same in both instructional and assessment settings.

Using Technology to Advance Assessment and the Shifts

Capturing complex student responses through a device interface (e.g., using drawing tools, symbol palettes, etc.)

Machine scorable multi-step tasks are more efficient to administer and score.

CCSS & PARCC….we are at the tip of the iceberg
