their learning

Constructivist Learning Teaching practice must have evidence of learning

experiences designed to facilitate students constructionof knowledge.

Shift 1 Balancing Informational& Literary Text

Students read a true balance of informational and literary texts.

Shift 2 Knowledge in the Disciplines Students build knowledge about the world (domains/ contentareas) through TEXT rather than the teacher or activities

Shift 3 Staircase of Complexity Students read the central, grade appropriate text around whichinstruction is centered. Teachers are patient, create more timeand space and support in the curriculum for close reading.

Shift 4 Text-based Answers Students engage in rich and rigorous evidence basedconversations about text.

Shift 5 Writing from Sources Writing emphasizes use of evidence from sources to inform ormake an argument.

Shift 6 Academic Vocabulary Students constantly build the transferable vocabulary theyneed to access grade level complex texts. This can be doneeffectively by spiraling like content in increasingly complextexts.


15/50

15

Shift 1 Focus Teachers significantly narrow and deepen the scope of how time and energy is

spent in the math classroom. They do so in order to focus deeply on only theconcepts that are prioritized in the standards.

Shift 2 Coherence Principals and teachers carefully connect the learning within and across gradesso that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previousyears.

Shift 3 Fluency Students are expected to have speed and accuracy with simple calculations;

teachers structure class time and/or homework time for students to memorize,through repetition, core functions.

Shift 4 DeepUnderstanding

Students deeply understand and can operate easily within a math concept beforemoving on. They learn more than the trick to get the answer right. They learnthe math.

Shift 5 Application Students are expected to use math and choose the appropriate concept forapplication even when they are not prompted to do so.

Shift 6 Dual Intensity Students are practicing and understanding. There is more than a balancebetween these two things in the classroom both are occurring with intensity.

CCSS Math Question What are two different equations with

the same solution as 3(y-1) = 8?

This question is an example ofsolving equations as a processof reasoning

Previous Math Question If 3(y-1) = 8, then what is y?

This question is an example ofsolving equations as a seriesof mechanical steps

No assessment will tell you more about yourchild than your childs teacher and school

We use multiple measures ORmany ways toknow your child and their strengths andneeds

Assessments should not get in the way ofquality day to day teaching

Too many changes at one time

Schools are in a spin about which initiative topay attention to while making sure we aresupporting all children where they are now.

Fear of the unknown for all stakeholders

High-stakes assessments before thecurriculum is fully implemented
