Welcome to Third Grade Curriculum Night
Our Goal is that by the end of the year all students will score a level 3 or 4 on the Math and Reading End of Grade Tests and will be ready for 4th grade by showing at least 15%
growth from Predictive Assessment 1 to Predictive Assessment 2.

Who?
48 states, the District of Columbia, and two
territories have signed on to the Common Core State
Standards Initiative
Standards Development Process
College and career readiness standards developed in summer 2009
Based on the college and career readiness standards, K-12 learning progressions developed
Multiple rounds of feedback from states, teachers, and feedback group and validation committee.
Groups representing English language learners and students with disabilities were instrumental in developing the ELL and students with disabilities statements in the introduction to the standards.
Why is This Important for Students, Teachers, and Parents?
Prepares students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in college and work
Ensures consistent expectations regardless of a student’s zip code
Provides educators, parents, and students with clear, focused learning targets.
Criteria for the Standards
Fewer, clearer, and higher
Aligned with college and work expectations
Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills
Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards
Internationally benchmarked, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society
Based on evidence and research
PBIS-What is it?
Positive Behavior Interventions and Support
Proactive approach to school-wide discipline
Promotes positive student and staff behavior
Implemented consistently by staff and administration
Traditional vs. PBIS
Traditional
Focused on Problem behavior
Goal to stop problem behavior through punishment
PBIS

Rewards appropriate behavior as it is being learned
Teaches the concept of consequences both good and bad.
3 Year Implementation
We are in year 2
During year 1 we established the Three R’s, jewels, coins, and treasure chests
During year 2 we have defined office referrals, developed check-in-check out, began individual ticket system
Response to Instruction or RtI
This year we will be working with the district as RtI pilot school
This will offer us training in Reading Foundations and Math Foundations
All students will participate in AIMS Web Screening
Differentiation within the classroom, Pirate Time, and PBIS all help to support this model.
RtI is……. (Pirate Time)
Whole school working together
Using resources and expertise to help all students
Regular monitoring of success/needs
Data driven instruction!
Multi-step process
High-quality, research-based instruction and interventions
Varying levels of intensity
