"Your Curriculum May Not Be Aligned and You Don't Even Know It"
Is your curriculum aligned? How do you know? These are important questions. True curriculum alignment means alignment to the essentials of standards, the instructional shifts demanded by the standards, and integrated assessments. And that is only the beginning! Join Carla Moore for a workout session to self-assess your system and learn the critical steps to build an integrated and aligned system that raises the floor for teaching and learning. Let's take the guess work out of providing a curriculum to support implementation for all students.
Carla Moore is the award-winning co-author, with Michael Toth and Dr. Robert Marzano, of The Essentials for Standards Driven Classrooms, and of Creating and Using Learning Targets and Performance Scales. As a thought leader, she leads a team of curriculum experts in developing, facilitating and helping transform districts and states in reference to standards-aligned curriculum systems. Ms. Moore is a National Practice Leader for Curriculum and a member of the Applied Research Center at Learning Sciences International. She is nationally recognized for her commitment to K-12 education.
Dr. Bonnie Hain and Heather Lageman
In a world where everyone wants to increase data-driven instructional planning while simultaneously reducing testing time, it's helpful to have a systematic assessment plan--an annotated list of the district, school and classroom-based assessments available alongside the instructional decisions that can be made based on each assessment. In this session, participants will use a structured protocol to work through both the data requisite for districts, schools, and classrooms, and means to evaluate the quality of assessments designed to provide that requisite data. District teams will have an opportunity to design, develop, and/or refine their systematic assessment plan.
Following is the list of Pre-Conference Sessions:
