Five BIG Ideas
“It’s not Special ED, it’s not Regular ED, it’s just ED.”
-Mike Mattos
Big Idea #1
Focus on Learning
Guiding Questions
• To what extent do we believe all
students can learn at high levels?
• To what extent will we take
responsibility to make this a reality?
Big Idea #2
Collaborative Culture
Guiding Questions
• Do we have frequent (weekly)
collaborative time embedded
during our professional day?
• Does our teamwork support each
member’s daily responsibilities?
Guiding Questions
• Have we identified team norms?
• Do we hold each other accountable to
follow our norms?
• Have we created SMART goals to
focus our efforts?
Big Idea #3
Clearly Define
What Every Student
Needs to Know
Guiding Question
• Have we clearly defined the
essential learning outcomes
that our students must master
for success in the next
course/grade level?
Big Idea #4
Constantly Measure
Our Effectiveness
Guiding Questions
• Have we created common assessments
that measure student mastery of each
essential standard?
• Do we compare results to identify the most
effective teaching strategies?
• Do we use this information to guide our
interventions?
Big Idea #5
Systematically
Respond When Students
Need More Time/Support
Guiding Questions
• Are our interventions effective?
• Do we have frequent time (during the
school day) to reteach and enrich
students?
• Do we have a systematic process to
ensure every student additional time
and support?
Our Current Reality
• Where are we now?
Talk about it!
What were the Big
Ideas?
Write them down.
Next Steps
• How do we get where we want
to be?
Regrouping Signal

OUR PROCESS
Oak Ridge Schools
Standards-Based Reporting in Grades K-4
Big Idea #1
Focus on Learning
• Identify Essentials/Priorities
• Unwrap to identify Targets:
What do students need to
–Know
–Understand and be able to
–Do?
Stakeholder Communication
Big Idea #2
Collaborative Culture
“Interventions won’t work if the Tier 1
instruction is poor.”
• Our teachers are currently working
collaboratively to create quality tools for
Tier 1 instruction.
Tiers 2 and 3
• After data is collected from Tier 1 assessments, support
tools are identified that will enhance understanding for
students who did not achieve mastery on standards.
• Items that prove to enhance student learning are
shared district-wide on Oak Ridge Schools SharePoint
for all teachers to use.
• Collaborative groups are called Professional Learning
Communities (and often referred to as Data Teams).

including who, what, when, where, and why and
how to demonstrate understanding about key
details in a text.

What about TCAP Standards?
Big Idea #4
Constantly Measure
Our Effectiveness
Skyward Standards Grade Book
for Tier 1 Grading
Common Formative Assessments (CFAs)
• We are in an ongoing process of developing
Common Formative Assessments to align with
the Scales
• These scales and assessments give us Evidence
to record as “Events” in Skyward
• Collaborative teacher teams identify
essential/priority standards and unwrap them
into learning targets.
– Standards have several component parts (targets) that provide
underpinning.
– Individual targets need to be scaled for assessment.
– Begin with a few agreed-upon standards and really drill down.
• We cannot wait to teach until we have them all perfected;
• Nor can we do this all in year one;
• So each year, we will drill a little deeper into more
essentials/priority standards until we have very detailed
plans.
• Identify the measurement topic to be assessed:
– “Where do we want students to be at the end of the
learning process in relation to this topic?”
• Determine the assessment items for each level
of the scale:
– Adequate number of items developed for each level to
ensure the data are trustworthy;
– Consider the content to ensure a strong match between the
assessment item and question type.
Big Idea #5

Need More Time/Support
RTI Tool in Skyward for
Tier 2 and 3 Interventions
•
•
•
•
•
Teachers enter grades
PLCs build scales and assessments
PLCs post resources to Curriculum Maps in Skyward
All members of the PLC have access by grade level
All Curriculum Maps are labeled: Domain and Term
• RTI in Skyward:
– One teacher creates a referral
– All teachers who teach that student can access the
referral to create, track, and print/e-mail reports for
interventions
• Shared resources on Curriculum Maps can be used for
interventions
Closing Thoughts
• Expect the Best
– Just like at-risk students, there are at-risk staff members.
– Prepare for scaffolding and ongoing support.
• Confront the Worst
– Give compelling reasons and a doable plan.
– Give staff every opportunity to succeed.
– Leave them no professional, logical, or ethical justification to
resist growth.
• Start!
– Most will become committed once they see the process
works, and not before.
