Language standards for grades K-5 offer a focus for instruction each year to help ensure that students gain adequate mastery of a range of skills and applications.

RL.CCR.3: Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text.

RL.K.3: RL.2.3: With no support RL.4.3: RL.6.3: RL.8.3: With prompting and support Describe , identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.

W.2.6

W.4.6

With guidance and support from adults, use a variety of digital tools to produce and publish writing, including in collaboration with peers. With some guidance and support from adults, use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others; demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum of one page in a single sitting.

W.6.6

With no support W.8.6

Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others; demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum of three pages in a single sitting. Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and present the relationships between information and ideas efficiently as well as to interact and collaborate with others. Use technology, including the internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products, taking advantage of technology’s capacity to link to other information and to display information flexibly and dynamically.

Appendix C contains:

Annotated student writing samples that illustrate the criteria required to meet the Standards for particular types of

writing—argument, informative/explanatory

text, and narrative—in a given grade.

Treasure Hunt

• Each person has a stapled sheet with questions.

• Use your CCRS booklet and the three appendices to answer the questions.

• After finishing your sheet, find a partner and share out.

Why Unpack or Deconstruct Standards?

Although the KY Academic Core Standards have been written to be precise and clear, they are still open to multiple interpretations Standards are not meant to be mastered in one learning opportunity and help to guide daily instruction Educators and students require common, clear learning targets The rigor of the curriculum is identified in the skills students are learning-not the standards Enable students to show mastery of standards on formative and summative assessments

Classifying Targets



Knowledge Mastery of substantive subject content where mastery includes both knowing and understanding it.



Reasoning The ability to use knowledge and understanding to figure things out and solve problems.



Performance The development of proficiency in doing something where it is the process that is important such as playing a musical instrument, reading aloud, speaking in a second language or using psychomotor skills.



Products The ability to create tangible products, such as term papers, science fair projects, and art sculptures that meet certain standards of quality and present concrete evidence of academic proficiency.

From Standard to Learning Targets: Our Goals for Today

• • •

Write clear, concise, and student-friendly learning targets Understand the effective use of learning targets for instructional planning Apply learning targets to the design of a balanced assessment system

Achievement Targets

• • • •

Knowledge / Understanding Reasoning Skills / Performance Products

From Standard to Learning Target: An ELA Example

• • • •

Standard to blank goldenrod template Reach consensus about what the standard asks—mark words for discussion Identify the kinds of learning targets that can be developed based on information provided in the standard Reference the learning target template—use learning target columns, work from left to right on the goldenrod template

Curriculum Map

• • • •

When developing units, the teacher must determine the key standard for the unit. Other standards will be integrated into the unit as well.

There may be gaps at the 3 rd , 4 th , and 5 th the increasing level of rigor.

grade due to Use the goldenrod template to begin looking at one standard and weaving it into your curriculum map.

You will determine the number of days needed to teach the skill when you begin work on your pacing guide.

Pacing Guides

• • •

Each pair will be assigned a cluster and determine how much time will be needed to for a student to master that skill Remember that in reading, the skills are repeated over and over only more in-depth as the student moves from grade level to grade level The depth of the standard will vary depending on the standard

What should I be doing right now with the standards?
