Roll Out
Excerpt: The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

of learning)
High Stakes
Assessments
(SBAC)
Endurance
(concepts and
skills that last

Leverage
(crossover

other areas)
Units of Study Model
A series of specific lessons,
learning experiences, and
related assessments —
based on targeted Priority
Standards & supporting
standards — for an
instructional focus that may
last anywhere from two to six
weeks.
Common Core Standards:
Insufficient By themselves
“To be effective in improving education
and getting all students ready for
college, workforce training, and life, the
Common Core State Standards must be
partnered with a content-rich
curriculum and robust assessments,
both aligned to the Standards.”

Unit of Study
Defined
A series of specific lessons, learning
experiences, and related
assessments—based on designated
Priority Standards and related
supporting standards—for a topical,
skills-based, or thematic focus that may
last anywhere from two to six weeks.
Units of Study
A rigorous curriculum is an inclusive
set of intentionally aligned
components—clear learning outcomes
with matching assessments, engaging
learning experiences, and instructional
strategies—organized into sequenced
units of study.
Unit of Study…
A rigorous curriculum serves as both
the detailed road map and the highquality delivery system for ensuring that
all students achieve the desired end: the
attainment of their designated grade- or
course-specific standards within a
particular content area.
Priority Standards
Defined
Priority Standards are “those standards
that, once mastered, give a student the
ability to use reasoning and thinking
skills to learn and understand other
curriculum objectives.”
- Dr. Douglas Reeves
Supporting Standards
Defined
Supporting standards are those standards
that support, connect to, or enhance the
Priority Standards. They are taught within the
context the Priority Standards, but do not
receive the same degree of instruction and
assessment emphasis as do the Priority
Standards.
An Important Message
Prioritization, Not
Elimination!
Let’s Look at Our Units!
One of the GOALS for today is to answer
this Essential Question:
How will Units of Study support
teachers in maximizing achievement
for ALL students?
24
Assigning the Standards
1) Distribute Priority Standards across
multiple units as long as it makes
instructional sense to do so.
2) Distribute Supporting Standards
across multiple units.
Units Pacing Guide
Defined
A pacing calendar is a yearlong (or
course-long) schedule for delivering all
of the planned units of study for a
designated grade level or course, not
the daily lessons to be used within
units.
Buffer Days
Pacing calendar is different than the past
Buffer time is now included between units

“Unwrapping” the Priority Standards
Skills (verbs)
Concepts (nouns – noun phrases)
Graphic Organizer
Bloom’s
DOK (we will go over this later)
“Unwrapping” the Standards
Identifying What Students Must
Know and Be Able To Do in the
Wording of the Standards
“Unwrap” Selected
Priority Standards
• Identify the key concepts (important
nouns or noun phrases) by underlining
them.
• Identify the skills (verbs) by circling
them or writing them in CAPS.
Bloom’s levels refer to the student’s level of thinking during instruction.

Unit One – Review and Discuss
• “Unwrapped” Standards
• Bloom’s Taxonomy
• ELA – Scaffolding
How can “unwrapped”
standards benefit teachers?
What Do You Think Is More
Engaging for Students?
Big Idea
• Good readers
a) Identify the main idea of
the text and explain how it
is supported by details.
b) Determine which details
are key to the text.
c) Use key details and the
main idea to summarize.
d) Explain what happened
and why it happened based
on information in the text.
Essential Question
• How do good readers
take details and
examples to explain the
main idea of a text?
The Big Ideas
• Foundational understandings students
will remember long after instruction
ends
• What you want students to discover as
a result of the learning experience
• The larger concepts or main ideas
• The student’s answer or response to a
related Essential Question
Big Ideas
• Writers create a report on an informational text or
topic by:
a) Introducing a topic clearly, grouping related
information in paragraphs, and using descriptive
details.
b) Developing a topic with appropriate facts,
definitions, concrete details, and quotations related to
the topic.
c) Providing a concluding statement to the
information presented.
Essential
Questions
Questions, not
statements,
stimulate student
curiosity to find the
answers!
Characteristics of
Essential Questions
•
•
•
•
•
Cannot be answered with a “yes” or “no”
Have no single obvious right answer
Cannot be answered from rote memory
Match the rigor of the “unwrapped” standard
Go beyond who, what, when, and where to how
and why
• Moves away from procedural to conceptual
understanding
• Makes it relevant
Essential Questions
• How does a writer create a report on a
topic from an informational text?

Instruction?
Designing Quality
Assessments
• Identify purpose
• Select best type for
purpose
• Make inferences
• Guide instruction
• Aligned with standards
• High rigor
Webb’s Depth of Knowledge…
DOK
 DOK is about the test item
NOT the student.
DOK refers the complexity of the
assessment.
DOK
DOK 1: Recall and Reproduction
Recall facts, information; reproduce simple process/procedure
DOK 2: Skills and Concepts
Make decisions about a question or problem; more than one step
DOK 3: Strategic Thinking
Develop a plan, use evidence, choose more than one answer,
justify response
DOK 4: Extended Thinking
Apply conceptual understanding, investigate connections, relate
ideas, devise an approach among alternatives—needs
43 extended time
DOK and State Testing…
On the old STAR test,
80% of the test was Bloom’s Level 1.
On the old STAR Test,
0% of the test was DOK 4
On the new SBAC test,
68% of the test is DOK 3 and 4.

improve when instruction focuses
on: active learning, real-world
contexts, higher-level thinking
skills, extended writing, and
demonstration.”

Performance Task Defined
“Performance tasks provide an opportunity to
challenge students to apply their knowledge and
skills to respond to complex, real-world problems.
They can best be described as collections of
questions and tasks presented to students that are
coherently connected to a single theme or
scenario.”
Terms and Definitions
Performance Task = A single assessment
Performance Assessment = A collection of
related performance tasks
Key Points to Remember When
Designing Performance Tasks
• What are your desired end results for
student learning?
• Can you “work backwards” – start with
a culminating task and then create the
lead-up tasks to get there?
Relationship between Tasks and
Engaging Scenario

audience)?
P

will demonstrate and/or create?
Is Your Scenario Truly
Engaging?
Acid test: If there were no standards
driving instruction and assessment,
would this scenario be so compelling
students and teachers would WANT to
work on these tasks?

Sample list on next slide…
Sample lesson plan ideas…
• Students will research a planet using several different
resources. They will take notes on the topology, location, life
forms (if any), etc. using step-up to writing strategies and/or
graphic organizers. (Task 1)
• Student will assemble a project/model, poster, diorama, or
power point at home with family support that includes the
planet elements. (Task 2)
• Students will write an organized report that includes the
elements of the planet, and main idea, details, information,
and demonstrate command of conventions of English. (Task 3)
• Students will give an oral presentation using a visual aid on
their planet, including the elements of the planet. (Task 4)
*Rubrics are provided for each Task.*
