From Common Core Standards to Curriculum: Five Big Ideas by Jay McTighe and Grant Wiggins - 2 views

  •  
    Big Idea # 1 - The Common Core Standards have new emphases and require a careful reading. Big Idea # 2 - Standards are not curriculum. Big Idea # 3 - Standards need to be "unpacked." When working with the Common Core, we recommend that educators "unpack" them into four broad categories - 1) Long term Transfer Goals, 2) Overarching Understandings, 3)  Overarching Essential Questions, and 4) a set of recurring Cornerstone Tasks. Big Idea # 4 - A coherent curriculum is mapped backwards from desired performances. Big Idea #5 - The Standards come to life through the assessments.

  •  
    Here are a few notes from the webinar: Focus on Evidence of Learning Collaboratively create assessments and benchmarks together -- and collaboratively go over data Have quality examples! How do we give feedback? Do we use consistent rubrics? What are board policies on assessment? do they get feedback then, do they get a chance to redo it? do they get a chance to turn it in? do they get a chance to improve it? ****BOARD policy on learner revision after feedback (grading & scoring) Try variations of vertical and horizontal teams:

Creating Cross-Curricular Text Sets for the Middle Grades | MiddleWeb - 0 views

  • To design the text set, each person thought about a theme in the anchor text to explore. In this way, different people designed different text sets around a common anchor text. Next, each preservice teacher began to put a text set together. These requirements framed the assignment: The text set needed to include 6-8 texts, including the anchor text. The text set had to include both narrative and informational genres. The text set had to include both print and digital texts. The text set needed to include texts of varying complexity.
  • The authors inspired us to include both narrative and informational texts. The goals of this assignment were to help preservice teachers (1) understand what a text set is and (2) experience putting a text set together. Although the task seemed daunting at first, most preservice teachers were satisfied with their outcomes. The challenges we ran into included: Selecting an anchor text; Deciding on a theme in the anchor text to explore through the text set; Making informed choices about other texts to include.
  • These standards can seem daunting to preservice teachers. A text set assignment like the one described here is one way  teacher educators can help prepare our university students to plan curriculum and instruction that helps students make deeper connections.
