    "By setting up ways to get frequent feedback from students' works in progress, we can find out what they need-before it's too late. Several years ago, I decided that if I were going to spend time writing comments on my students' writing work or on assignments connected to their in-class reading, those comments had to do more than justify a grade. They had to give targeted feedback that would show students how to improve the quality of their work. I'd been finding the hours I spent writing feedback on students' work discouraging. For one thing, students didn't pay attention to my comments, and, for another, the quality of their work wasn't improving. A change in how I responded to their work was necessary. If I wanted my comments to fuel improvement, I realized, I had to build in time for learners to revise their work after receiving my suggestions. Not only did I change the timing of my feedback, but I also streamlined my process of writing comments, allowing myself more time to shift instruction in response to what I'd learned from reviewing work"

    "Until the release of the Common Core State Standards, many educators didn't realize that writing skills need to develop incrementally, with the work that students do at one grade level standing on the shoulders of prior learning. It would be hard to achieve this high level of craft and knowledge if students weren't moving steadily along a spiralling curriculum, practicing and extending skills in each type of writing each year. After all, in math, teachers agree on content and ensure that students move up the grade levels with the essential skills that teachers agreed upon. That same focus on writing as content, as a set of skills, will move grade levels of students forward, rather than individuals who happened to get this teacher or that. Writing will needto be given its due, starting in kindergarten and continuing throughout the grades."-LUCY CALKINS

common core state standards interview CCSSO Gene Wilhoit

shared by Janet Hale on 04 Mar 15 - No Cached
  • I’ve noticed a couple of things that trouble me.  It is not an easy task to translate standards into a curriculum.  You can’t teach standards.  They are the objectives.  They need to be fleshed out in learning progressions to allow us to create specific curricular designs.  But in this country, there is a belief that the curriculum belongs to every local community and every school.  We have a lack of capacity to develop strong curriculum at that level and a reluctance to allow others to take this on.  Will we be able to translate standards into a strong curriculum design, which will be a basis for instruction and assessment?  I see many people ignoring this issue and going straight to tasks and assessment.  This is very troubling to me.
  • Secondly, I worry about assessment.  This experiment by two consortia has produced, from what I can see, better assessments than what states have used before.  There is every reason to believe the first full-scale field administration of the tests will be successful.  At the same time I see a number of states pulling back because they want a cheap test, but you can’t have high quality on the cheap.  Some states seem to think that they can produce high quality tests on their own, but I don’t think any state has the capacity to do that.  And, with respect to the tests being produced by the two state consortia, I worry about the states’ capacity to keep the two consortia going over the long haul.  We may need to explore new forms of public-private partnerships to sustain and continuously update these new tests.
  • Third, our professional development system isn’t geared toward providing the kinds of support teachers need to implement the Common Core State Standards.

    "Gene Wilhoit served as chief state school officer in Arkansas and in Kentucky before the Council of Chief State School Officers asked him to assume the leadership of their association. Two decades earlier, Wilhoit had served as an active member of the board of an organization, the New Standards Project, that I had put together to develop new, internationally benchmarked student performance standards for the American states, along with a set of assessments set to those standards. After he took the helm as Executive Director of the CCSSO, Wilhoit led the successful joint effort of the country's chief state school officers and its governors to create the Common Core State Standards. In this multi-part interview, I talk with Wilhoit about why he thought it so important to create the standards and what he thinks will be needed to fully implement them. "
