Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment Review
Conducted by Dr. Denise Collier
Focus groups of teachers, instructional coaches, school building and central office administrators CIA Task Force
August-December 2011 Presented to SCSD Board of Education December 7

Brutal Facts
Only 22% of our students in grades 3-8 are meeting the standard for proficiency in English Language Arts.
Just 25% of our students in grades 3-8 are proficient in mathematics.
Over 70% of our students qualify to receive Academic Intervention Services.
SCSD has a 30% transiency rate.About half of our students drop out of school.The district’s graduation rate hovers at
around 51%.

Survey and Focus Group Common Themes
7
Twelve Recommendations
8
I. Academic Rigor and Program Coherence
Recommendations
Raise expectations for student learning and focus the work of teaching and learning on academically rigorous “college-ready” learning PK-12 aligned to the common core standards, rather than on minimal passing standards.
9
I. Academic Rigor and Program Coherence
Recommendations
Examine and improve the coherence, rigor, alignment, content, and pacing of the district’s curriculum guides and other instructional tools to ensure that they are aligned to the district’s theory of action for teaching and learning, are based upon “college ready” level academic rigor and mastery of the common core standards, and that they provide sufficient instructional supports to meet the needs of all students.
10
III. Evaluation, Assessment and Use of feedback/Data recommendations
The district should accelerate its efforts to develop a more robust interim assessment system, ensuring alignment with the district’s revised curriculum, and should ensure teacher and principal access to a robust data management and reporting system to facilitate data-driven decision-making.
11
V. Instructional Capacity Building Recommendations
Develop and implement a coherent, content-focused, tiered plan for on-going professional learning of all teachers, instructional leaders, and support staff that is directly and fully aligned to the revised curriculum, common core standards, best practices in instruction, and student performance results.
12
Research Base—Coherent, Aligned Systems
13
Research
According to US Department of Education: Academic Curriculum participation is still the
strongest of the pre-collegiate momentum indicators.
High School curriculum reflects 41% of the
resources that students bring to higher education; test scores 30%; and class rank / academic GPA 29%
For more information seeThe Toolbox Revisited - designed as a replication of previous study
published by the U.S. Department of Education, Answers in the Tool Box: Academic Intensity, Attendance Patterns, and Bachelor’s Degree Attainment (1999)

Research
“No matter how one divides the universe of students, the curriculum measure produces a higher percent of earning bachelor’s degrees than either of the other measures. The impact of a high school curriculum of high academic intensity and quality on degree completion is far more pronounced and positively – for African American and Latino students than any other pre-collegiate indicator of academic success.”

15
We Believe…
If we… Build the capacity of teachers to deliver high-quality, highly
effective instruction, grounded in rigorous standards, curriculum and content, focused on the differing needs of our studentsand
Increase the instructional expertise and effective coaching strategies of all central office and school leaders
and Hold everyone accountable for specific student outcomes…
thenWe will succeed in reaching our district-wide goals of preparing every student for college and careers.
16
Guiding principles for Curriculum & Instruction Improvement
Grounded in the transformative power of education—college persistence dramatically increases life outcomes for all students
Evidence that urban public schools can succeed in preparing all students for college and career success
District should define the “what” (curriculum, standards of performance, accountability systems, etc.)
17
Guiding principles for Curriculum & Instruction Improvement (cont.)
The schools should decide the “how” (Instructional plans, strategies, collaborative staffing, etc.)
Accountability systems should connect student outcomes (success or failures) with adult outcomes
Central office should be flexible, agile and responsive to support changing school needs
There must be a coherent reform strategy that connects everything to improving teaching and learning

points
Assumptions
We are preparing for an assessment and level of rigor that is currently unknown.
We can’t afford to wait for more information and direction.
The process of interacting with the standards will build capacity in teachers and lead to improved instruction.
Teachers will transform student achievement in the district.
This will be MESSY, but the learning is the work.

CCLS Math: The Big Picture62
Goal:
Teaching math to understand math, not to just “do” math.
Standards for Mathematical Practice63
Mathematically proficient students can:1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving
them.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others.4. Model with mathematics5. Use appropriate tools strategically.6. Attend to precision.7. Look for and make use of structure.8. Look for and express regularity in repeated
reasoning.
The 3 C’s of Math64
Context – we should think of math more as a tool than as a subject. In real life it is always used to further some other goal.
Concrete – (to pictorial to abstract) numbers are symbols and are not concrete.
Constructivist – meet students where they are and guide them in constructing knowledge
65
Fourth C that Standards address
Continuity – there is consistency across the grades in math language, processes and expectations.
