Workshop Basics
• Share Your Experiences and Ideas
• Ask questions• Here to help!
Objectives…
• Examine the different ways standards can be customized in Atlas to model best practices.
• Analyze the various assessment methods used in your classroom and discover those employed across your school.
• Apply the Atlas Reporting Tools to verify a quality, standards-based, taught curriculum.
• Use the Atlas Reporting Tools to ensure a learning-oriented assessed curriculum.

Standards Management Phases with Atlas
Standards Management: The
“(Re)Define” PhaseCareful, deliberate, informed standards change/ decisions
1.Needs Analysis:•Assessment of what should be in existence based on external criteria •Assessment of what should be in existence based on internal criteria
2.Provide direction: • Goals • Objectives
Use of descriptors
What is the intended and curriculum at your school?
How does the taught curriculum align to it?
• Is it mandated or developed by the school?
• Does everybody understand it?• Do you communicate to all
constituencies?• Is it in alignment with your school
mission?• How do you incorporate character?• What about early childhood?
• Selecting Standards• Adapting Standards• DIY Standards• Horizontal and Vertical
Coherence
Standards Management: The “Design” Phase
What process/strategies do you follow to (re) define and
design your academic standards?
• What was the trigger event to adopt your current standards?
• Who do you involve? Who was involved initially?
• What is the shelf life of your standards?
• What is the timing for introducing revisions?
• How do you go about introducing them in Atlas?
Standards Management: The
“Implement” Phase
• How standards (as the planned curriculum) can be integrated into the:
• Taught curriculum• Assessed curriculum• (implications to the “learned
curriculum”)
Available Reports in Atlas:• Standards Overview• Standards Profiling
My Standards Quick Reports My Reports
Standards Management: The
“Analyze/ Evaluate” Phase
What is a 3rd graders
assessment experience at the
school?
As a school, how many times are
students mastering benchmarks through
assessment?
How can you get a quick view for
what standards and benchmarks
have been assessed in
science?
What are some questions you have about your
standards and benchmarks?
• Take 5 minutes to compile a list of key questions.
• See if you translate these questions into queries in Analyze. Standards Profiling Standards Overview
• Don’t forget to visit the tutorials under Info.
Create some Samples (My Reports) that will be
helpful in future conversations.
Be prepared to share your samples.
