Common Core Has Arrived!!• ACT 21 or higher
– 75% scored C or better on US History or Psych in college
– 50% scored B or better
• Declining complexity in text reading over the last 50 years + more “scaffolding” or help
![Page 4: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Lack of Reading Independence
• Too many students reading at too low of a level– 11% of incoming college freshman take at least
one remedial reading course• Only 30% of these students ever earn a college
degree
– 69% of those who don’t need remedial reading complete the degree
![Page 5: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

College and Career Readiness Assessment
• PARCC– Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for
College or Career – Replacing the Alg I (Mathematics II) and
English II (Language Arts) assessments• Formative Assessment
• Summative Assessment– Analysis of documents in the form of an essay
– Performance assessment
– Speaking and Listening Assessment
![Page 8: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Purpose• To compliment, not replace state standards
• Incorporate expectations of types of skills needed to prepare for college OR career– Strong content knowledge is still essential– Comprehend as well as critique– Value evidence– Understand other perspectives– Demonstrate independent learning– Respond to various demands of audience, task,
purpose
![Page 9: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Main Purpose• To elevate Mississippi school children to a
level playing field– Problem: students who were doing well on MS
tests were not doing so well on national assessments (ACT, SAT)
• MS vs MA• MS vs Hong Kong
• Common Core gives Mississippi access to resources (through PARCC) that we would not have otherwise

Objectives
• For teachers– focus more on asking the right questions rather
than giving the right answers.
![Page 14: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Objectives
• For students– Finding supporting evidence– Recognizing bias– Evaluating multiple perspectives– Determining cause and effect– Making comparisons– Applying conceptual knowledge– Determining significance
![Page 15: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In other words…..
• Moving from “what is taught” to “what students need to be able to do”
• “Flipped class” or “upside down classroom”
• Teacher shifts from “sage on stage” to “guide at the side”
![Page 16: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Backward Design orUnderstanding by Design (UBD)• 1. Where are we going?
– Content Competencies and objectives• Significant learning outcomes• Enduring understanding
• 2. How will we know when we have arrived?– Informative learning assessments
• Writing assessments• Performance assessments• Traditional assessments
• 3. How will we get there?– Content and engaging learning activities
![Page 17: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Enduring Understanding
• When was the defeat of the Spanish Armada?– 1588– “I know it was sometime after Columbus’
discovery of the New World but before the settlement of Jamestown.”
![Page 18: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How will we get there?
• Examples of learning activities that may be interesting but are not effective– Crosswords– Word searches– Fill in the blanks – Trivia pursuits– Posters
![Page 19: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Interesting and Effective Techniques• Films, videos
– Students must engage in questioning or discussion for it to be effective, however
• Field Trips– Pre- and post-trip exercise for a significant learning experience
• PMI by Edward Debono – P (plus/positive)
– M (minus/negative)
– I (interesting/I wonder…)
• U shape forum– Example: Indian, Braves, Redskins mascot debate
![Page 20: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Effective Techniques• Events Graph
– Timeline of key events• Evaluate the significance of each event
– How many people were affected?– Did it cause a significant change? – Did it cost or save lives?– Was the impact short-term or long-term?
» Was the present world affected by it?
• Rank each event– Scale of 0-10– Bar graph
• Present to class– Justify your rankings
• Post Cards from the Past
![Page 21: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Performance
• Role-playing and simulation
• Tableau– Striking scene (or series of scenes) created by
people posing in costume– Labor conflict: Haymarket, Pullman,
Homestead
![Page 22: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How will we get there?Team Based Learning (TBL)
• Principle Design Principles– Teams of 5-7 should be permanent– Accountability
• Pre-class preparation and contributing to team success
– Students make complex decisions that require course concepts but can be reported in simple form
– Frequent and timely feedback
![Page 23: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Typical TBL Module• Readiness Assurance
– Readings outside of class– iRAT (individual Readiness Assurance Test)
• Multiple choice quiz on the reading material
– tRAT (team Readiness Assurance Test)• Same quiz completed in groups• Teams negotiate to choose the correct answer• Scratch off answer on IF AT form• If team does not select the correct answer, they continue to
discuss and choose another answer choice.
– Mini lecture• Using the tRAT results, the teacher can easily see which
area(s) students are having the most difficulty with and lecture on those points only.
• Suggested time for Part I: 1-1.5 hours
![Page 24: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
TBL Part 2:In class Application Activities
• Suggested time: 2-5 hours• 4 S’s
– Significant problem: teams work on a relevant, significant question, issue, or problem
– Same problem: all teams work on the same problem
– Specific choice: teams choose an answer (A, B, C, or D)
– Simultaneous Report: each team holds up their answer choice card; teams should challenge opposing opinions and defend their answers
![Page 25: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Strategies• Read Alouds• Authentic Experiences
– What would historians do?
• Found Poem Activity– Primary or secondary source– Everyone gets piece of cash register paper– Choose 5-10 words that capture your attention– Groups of 5-6– Put the word phrases in order to make a poem– Each group reads their poem
![Page 26: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Use of Technology is absolutely vital to making CC a success in
the classroom
![Page 27: “Teamwork can make the dream work”. GAETI: Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute PLC meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d355503460f94a0c51e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Reasons its time to move beyond the textbook
• Paper,copies, and books are expensive• Textbooks come in “One Size Fits All”• Kids don’t read textbooks!• Fine List from Mrs. Curtis• Books are heavy student back problems• Real life doesn’t come from a textbook• 1000 books with 1000 pages can be replaced with
a single device!
