and

Our Guiding Questions…• How can teachers use LDC in the student
growth process?
• How does LDC allow teachers to demonstrate effective teaching?
6
Why use LDC in the Student Growth process?
• Template tasks based on the KAS (CCSS) for ELA/Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects
• Valid, standards-based rubrics aligned to informational, argumentative, and narrative writing
• Common rubrics to aggregate data from multiple sources of evidence and to provide formative feedback throughout the instructional process

How does LDC help support rigor in the student growth process?

Rigor =

Congruency to standards
Do the measures provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate mastery of the identified skills, concepts or
processes at the level of rigor intended in the standard?
What is the KY SG Process?

Step 1:
Determine needs
Step 2:
Create specific learning
goals based on pre-
assessment
Step 3:
Create and implement teaching
and learning strategies
Step 4:
Monitor student
progress through ongoing
formative assessment
Step 5:
Determine whether students achieved the goals
Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

strategies
Step 4:

progress through ongoing formative
assessment
Step 5:
Determine whether students
achieved the goals
After identifying the Enduring
Skills, decide on the appropriate measurement. (Consider - Is
writing an appropriate method of
measurement for the identified
skill?)
Use the LDC template tasks to
create a classroom
assessment as part of the
baseline data. NOTE: This
writing product is evidence of what students can do independently.
After analyzing classroom
assessment results, use that data to inform module and/or
mini-tasks design - specifically,
Section 2 (What Skills?) and
Section 3 (What Instruction?).
During module implementation,
formative assessment data
will inform instructional
decisions. Build in additional
assessments for evidence of
students’ abilities to independently apply learning.
Use a classroom assessment for summative SGG
data for the enduring skill.
(An LDC template task may be used
for the assessment task.)

What’s enduring learning?
13
• ENDURES beyond a single test date• is of value in other disciplines • is relevant beyond the classroom (applying
learning to new and unique situations)• is worthy of embedded, course-long focus• may be necessary for the next level of
instruction• requires critical thinking (analyzing,
creating and evaluating)
Let’s take a look at the ELA scenario

STEP 1: Determining Need – How did Mrs. Turner decide how to focus her goal and establish a baseline?
Contextual vs. Baseline Data
15
• Contextual Data:– Data that informs teachers of where students are
performing; aids your decision making for determining an area of focus for enduring skills: state assessments, interim assessments from previous year, common assignment/common assessment data, classroom formative assessments
• Baseline Data:– Data that establishes a beginning point of where
students are against an enduring skill; provides the starting point for student growth goal-setting

Task Template: A3: Does making recess time longer help students do better in school or does it make them do worse in school? After reading informational texts on the pros and cons of extending recess time, write a letter to our principal in which you explain your opinion on whether or not we should extend recess time in our school. Support your opinion with evidence from the texts.

For the 2014-2015 school year, all students in my 4th grade class will make measurable progress in supporting an opinion/claim with appropriate and credible details. All students will move up at least one performance level in Reading/Research and Development and 40% will achieve at least a 3 or better using the 2-5 Opinion Rubric and/or the 2-5 LDC Informational Rubric.

Monitoring – What & WhyWhat - Monitor both
* student progress toward goal attainment
* strategy effectiveness through formative assessment processes.
Why - Adjust strategies and instruction as needed, while maintaining the goal.
Monitoring the Student Growth Process
29
It’s what we do with data that’s important – use it authentically
to inform practice.

Domain 1 Connections
• Teaching task content choice - worthy of extended time
• Teaching task appropriate match for content and product
• Content standards identified in module and addressed in Skills Ladder
• Teaching task engages students
• Accommodations embedded in module
• Teaching task clearly describes what students will learn
• Purposeful LDC mini-tasks lead to measureable outcomes
• Intentional sequencing of mini-tasks leads to mastery
• Carefully chosen resources for module (beyond textbook)
• Grade level appropriate texts (text complexity)
• Mini-tasks organized/scaffolded to advance learning, represent cognitive challenges with differentiation of activities/resources
• Clear structure: teaching task; standards; skills list; mini-tasks; rubrics (all interdependent)
• Reasonable pacing
• Formative assessment w/mini-tasks inform instruction
• Instructional ladder – intentional and differentiated
• Clear criteria (rubric/mini-tasks)

Domain 3 Connections
46
• Content scaffold clear and accurate (mini-tasks aligned to standards)
• Tasks allows student choice/multiple approaches• Students intellectually engaged (mini-tasks/instruction require
analysis and content understanding)• Task design promotes thinking / guides inquiry• Teacher and student facilitated engaging discussions • Opportunities for learner reflection promote metacognition • Task/mini-tasks aligned to a standards/instructional outcomes • Pacing allows for intellectual engagement• formative assessment process informs instruction• Actionable feedback to students facilitate their ability to
improve their work

Domain 4:Professional Responsibilities
A.Reflecting on TeachingB.Maintaining Accurate RecordsC.Communicating with FamiliesD.Participating in a Professional CommunityE.Growing and Developing ProfessionallyF.Showing Professionalism
47
Domain 4 Connections
48
• Teacher self-reflection through anecdotal notes; use of student work; common rubric; collaboration notes
• Reflection informs instruction• Use of common LDC rubric lends itself to a growth
mindset (student progress)• Job embedded collaborative professional learning• Teachers collaboratively review student work to -identify areas for further instruction -identify gaps in the curriculum -identify effective and ineffective strategies -identify areas for additional professional learning to support their instruction and student learning
Our Guiding Questions…• How can teachers use LDC in the student
growth process?
• How does LDC allow teachers to demonstrate effective teaching?
49
One last reflection …
As we implement LDC, how do we (can we) use student growth to change practice?
