• Discuss specifics of the 3 big ideas and 4 critical corollary questions in a PLC
• Learn an activity to engage stakeholders in problem solving
• Review criteria from Reeves and Ainsworth to identify essential skills
• Learn a process for unwrapping standards • Complete an activity of matching
assessments to essential skills

First Big IdeaFocus on Learning
“The very essence of a learning community is a
focus on and a commitment to the learning of each
student”
DuFour, DuFour, Eaker, & Many, 2010,Learning by Doing, Second Edition p. 11
![Page 6: Unpacking Standards Matching Assessments Tulsa Public Schools January 11, 2012 Paul Farmer pd@solution-tree.com @pcfarmersr](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c7e5503460f94934450/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Second Big IdeaA Collaborative Culture
“A PLC is composed of collaborative teams whose
members work interdependently to achieve
common goals for which members are mutually
accountable”DuFour, DuFour, Eaker, & Many, 2010,Learning by Doing, Second Edition p. 11
![Page 7: Unpacking Standards Matching Assessments Tulsa Public Schools January 11, 2012 Paul Farmer pd@solution-tree.com @pcfarmersr](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c7e5503460f94934450/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Third Big IdeaFocus on Rearning
“Members of a PLC realize that all of their efforts must
be assessed on a basis of results rather than
intentions”
DuFour, DuFour, Eaker, & Many, 2010,Learning by Doing, Second Edition p. 11

What are the Four Critical Corollary Questions?
1. What do we want our students to learn?(essential, guaranteed, and viable curriculum)
2. How will know they have learned it?(frequent, team-developed, common formative assessments)
3. How will we respond when they don’t learn it?(timely, directive, systematic intervention)
4. What will we do when they do learn it?(timely enriched content, extended activities)
![Page 9: Unpacking Standards Matching Assessments Tulsa Public Schools January 11, 2012 Paul Farmer pd@solution-tree.com @pcfarmersr](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c7e5503460f94934450/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Identifying Essential Skills/Concepts1. Gather necessary resources: – State standards – Association standards – District curriculum guides – Prerequisite skills – Assessment framework and blueprints – Other supporting documents and information2. Review documents3. Determine what is most important
![Page 10: Unpacking Standards Matching Assessments Tulsa Public Schools January 11, 2012 Paul Farmer pd@solution-tree.com @pcfarmersr](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c7e5503460f94934450/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Identifying Essential Skills/Concepts
• Essential skills/concepts must be aligned with district curriculum guides, state or national standards such as the Oklahoma Standards and Common Core Standards.
• Essential skills/concepts must be aligned with the association• standards for courses such as Foreign Language, Family &• Consumer Science, Music, Physical Education, etc…• Students must be prepared to demonstrate proficiency with the
essential skills/concepts on high-stakes tests.• Learning of essential skills/concepts will be assessed frequently• with teacher made common formative assessments for• students to prove mastery and when necessary to allow for• additional time and support to assure learning takes place.

Teaching to the StateStandards
Recent research reveals that teaching to the state
standards would require approximately 23 years.
![Page 12: Unpacking Standards Matching Assessments Tulsa Public Schools January 11, 2012 Paul Farmer pd@solution-tree.com @pcfarmersr](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c7e5503460f94934450/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Determining What Is Essential
1. Endurance—Will this standard provide students with knowledge and skills that will be of value beyond a single test date?
2. Leverage—Will this provide knowledge and skills that will be of value in multiple disciplines?
3. Readiness—Will this provide students with the essential knowledge and skills necessary for success in the next unit, level of instruction, course, grade or level of instruction?

Consider one item your school has encountered as a hurdle for moving
forward in the PLC journey.
Create a description of the hurdle that would provide a reader with enough
clarity to offer a meaningful suggestion.

You’ve got Mail!1. Each team writes their greatest challenge on the outside of the
envelop (no names or other identifying information)2. The second team reads the challenge and writes a suggestion
for overcoming the challenge on one index card inside the envelop
3. The third and fourth teams read the challenge and the suggestion/s for overcoming the challenge then writes another suggestion
4. The postmaster redistributes the mail to the starting team with the challenge

The Process of Unwrapping
• First, CIRCLE all of the verbs. What will students need to do?
• Second, UNDERLINE all the knowledge• components that provide content.• STAR any performance skills in the
standard.• BOX any products that will be required
for standard completion. • Below the standard, NAME any
reasoning targets that are either explicit or implied.

“Teachers who truly understand what they want their students to accomplish will almost surely be more instructionally successful than teachers whose understanding of hoped for ‐student accomplishments are murky.”

Aligning Learning Targetsto
Assessment MethodsUsing the Target Method Match Activity:‐1. Each person has a number 1 4‐2. Individually read through your assigned scenario
and record your answer to each question by marking a “Y” in the appropriate box when your answer is “Yes.” Put an “N” in the box if the answer is “No.”
3. At your table or in your group discuss your answers for the ‘best’ matches.
