Strategic Priorities

Common Core: By SY 2014-15 all students will have access to high quality Common Core-aligned curricula as defined by CPS Framework for Content Standards in literacy and mathematics.

Framework for Teaching: By SY 2012-13 all educators will be supported by a clear vision for effective instruction as defined by the CPS Framework for Teaching.

Full School Day: By SY 2012-13 all students will have access to core academics, intervention, and enrichment through a 7 hour school day

Implementation in SY12Scope Objectives

Network Team PD

•All Networks •Focus on daily lessons and unit planning in teacher teams using the CCSS•Develop and refine a differentiated delivery mechanism (or Network Theory of Action) for building capacity on the CCSS with portfolio of schools

ILT PD •All schools, traditional and charter/contract/AUSL

•Focus on unit planning (unpacking standards, performance assessment development, unit development)•Implement necessary ILT and TT structures to make the shift to CCSS possible

Early Adopters •60 schools •Focus on development, implementation, and refinement of unit plans (unpacking standards, performance assessment development, unit development)•Development of exemplars

Teacher Leader PLC

•~30 teachers each for Literacy and Math

•Develop the year-long CCSS-aligned Literacy and Mathematics Content Frameworks

Office of Instruction

Focus in SY12

Learning:• CCSS Structure• How to unpack• Features of an ELA

Performance Assessment (PA)

• Features of an ELA unit plan• Math Bridge Plan

Doing:• Creating, maintaining ILT and

TT structures for data analysis and planning

• Classroom observations• Building learning cycles

• Ensuring instruction and instructional tasks are

rigorous

•Unpack in TTs•Develop and pilot an ELA PA•Develop a sample unit

Office of Instruction

Teams ready to move from Learning to Doing

Summer: Transition from “Learning” to “Doing” with support of solid team structures.

Instructional Materials Guidance SY12

This Spring

-Audit existing nonfiction text sets

-See CCSS Appendix B for exemplars

This Summer

-Purchase supplemental texts to support unit planning

Next Year

-Implement use of supplemental texts

-Audit quality of math core materials

DO NOT rush to buy anything that is branded “Common Core Approved.”

Office of Instruction

Outcomes: School Year ‘13

• Teachers will begin implementation of the Common Core State Standards, using the Literacy Content Framework (K-10) and the Mathematics Content Framework and Bridge Plan (6-10)

• Administrators and teachers will understand and apply the key instructional shifts required of the CCSS

• Teachers will understand how to use new instructional materials and assessments and make them accessible to all learners

Office of Instruction

Outcomes: Summer SY12

Curriculum planning• ELA: summer training for teacher leaders on building curriculum maps and

unit plans, aligned to the Literacy Content Framework. Dept of Literacy available for collaboration.

• Math: summer training for teacher leaders on designing CCSS-aligned math tasks in line with the Math Content Framework

Facilitation• ELA and Math: training for teachers on how to facilitate learning with

colleagues

Content Frameworks

Office of Instruction

CCSS Instructional Shifts

Literacy (Across Content Areas)

1. Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary

2. Building knowledge through content-rich informational text

3. Reading and writing grounded in evidence from text

Mathematics

1. Focus on critical areas to develop deep conceptual understanding and procedural fluency

2. Integrate the mathematical practice standards throughout instruction

3. Maintain coherence and continuity to link learning within and across grades
