      Denise, as you know the SCEP program has been diligently trying to get Iowa Core and 21st Century infused in all our subjects. A big job, but I have learned so much!

    Great idea for ICC. There is no reason for all teachers to reinvent the wheel for each lesson. Great form of collaboration!

      I think this is where Becky and I think standards-based reporting comes in. Get rid of the "mile wide and inch deep" mentality (at least in math...).

    AEA9's links including PowerPoints and handouts on ICC and the 5 essential characteristics of instruction. Look at the modules on the left - these will be used statewide, from what I'm told.

    formative assessment resources to be used by DE/AEA to support districts.
  •  
    Formative assessment articles that will be used by DE/AEA to support schools in developing understanding and implementation of ICC's 'assessment for learning' essential characteristic. **Many links aren't working; I have hard copies of articles. Some can be found by Googling, too. A good place to start, I guess.

Formative assessment: The most important data you aren't using - 0 views

    • Brenda McKone
       
      Formative assessment needs to be used throughout a unit to check student progress.
    • Russ Goerend
       
      Definitely! I would argue that just as important as checking progress is adjusting instruction based on that progress.
    • Matt Townsley
       
      good point, Russ. It's a big shift from "assessment to report learning" from "assessment to improve learning." I see this difference as one that will be tough for the masses to understand due to the tradition of summative assessments.
  • In turn, it allows the educator to amend their instruction and content before they administer the summative assessment.
    • Russ Goerend
       
      This is also important!
    • K Wolf
       
      I think this is key with students of today. As we (educators) realize that students are learning differently today b/c of the way they use technology, I think we will see that using MORE formative assessments and giving students MORE immediate feedback will be even MORE effective than we think. Students receive immediate feedback all the time from their peers; I think it should be the same with their teachers.

Why Leadership Matters - Lead Change Group - 5 views

    • Allysen Lovstuen
       
      "Leadership is about making a difference for -other- people" - great thing to keep in mind!
    • Jori Lizer
       
      We all are human and need to stay positive even when others are not. It does make a difference to others. Students and staff.
  • People watch their leaders far more closely than most leaders will ever realize.
    • Abby Hendershot
       
      This is so true. I never even thought about how much we do this until reading this article. Great article!
  •  
    Great article! I love the comment on leaders giving their people hope. Leaders have to surround themselves with people they can trust, but also must be held accountable.

AllThingsPLC » Blog Archive » Stop Sliding Away… - 1 views

  • It is a flawed assumption to believe that the presence of the right structures alone will ensure teams are successful.
  • One of the simplest ways principals can monitor the work of teams is to be visible and available.
  • Effective principals recognize that “a critical step in moving an organization from rhetoric to reality is to establish the indicators of progress to be monitored, the process for monitoring them, and the means for sharing the results throughout the organization.”

Iowa Core Curriculum facing uncertain future - 1 views

  •  
    Once a month a small group of Irving Elementary School teachers gather to talk shop. It isn't just water cooler conversation about who's causing problems in class. They are comparing literacy strategies and best teaching practices. They bring samples of teaching resources and technology.

      The "Adjusted Start and End Time" was laid out a little differently than I have seen it before.  It interests me as it seems minimally disruptive and doable.
