Where is your organization in relation
to implementing standards?
• A tool that provides a quick assessment on
how people feel about an issue
• Use sticky notes with no names to be more
authentic
• Determine what we want to measure (How
deep is the deployment with standards
• Discuss how this can set the tone for the
training (pulse reading, burning issues etc.)
Approaches That Rely on
External Assessments
(Student must score proficient
on a region high-stakes assessment)
Advantages:
• Unchanged system
(e.g.course, scheduling, and
record keeping)
• Parents are used to this
approach
Disadvantages:
• Limited to the core subject
areas
• Limited connection to daily
classroom activities
• High anxiety at specific
grade levels
Approaches that use core courses
(State standards are embedded in specific, required courses)
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
• Easy transition into current • Does not accommodate
system
many standards
• Course grade indicate
• Does not lend itself to
student performance
• Easy to identify what
integration of multiple
standards are being
standards
addressed
• Specific needs of
students aren’t being
addressed
Approaches that rely on projects,
exhibitions, and portfolios
(Students must score proficient on performance tasks that
are connected to standards)
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
• Performance tasks are
concrete representations • Difficult to address all
standards through
of specific standards
projects
• Connected to daily
classroom activities
• Time needed for staff
• Variety of ways to
to create the projects
demonstrate standards
• Concerns about
validity and reliability
Approaches that redesign their systems to
meet the needs of each individual student
(Students progress through developmental levels at their rate to meet
specific standards this includes aligned standards, assessment,
instructional best practices, and reporting)
RISC Model
•
•
•
•
•
Advantage:
Research strongly supports this
model
Meets the individual needs of
every student
Everyone knows the expectation
Highly accountable/aligned
Support multiple ways to reach
standards
Disadvantage:
• Massive paradigm shift for
education
• Scheduling, reporting,
assessments and resource
allocation are redesigned
• Advil, Mallox, and Rogaine will
be your best friends
Models of Implementing
Standards
• Approaches that rely on external
assessments eg. Alaska Exit Exam
• Approaches that use core courses eg. course
grades tied to standards
• Approaches that rely on projects, exhibitions,
and portfolios eg.score on science fair project
• Approaches that redesign their system to
meet the needs of every student eg. RISC
Model
Using the RISC Organizational SelfAssessment tool, first determine where your
schools are and what are some strengths
and OFIs for Standards-Based Design?

•
Clarify the task
Reflect individually
Impact on your system
Share with your partner
CRIS
Using your self assessment tool create a
minute check-up matrix to check the
deployment of standards,instruction,
assessment and reporting in a class, school
or district
•
•
•
•
Clarify: the question or project
Reflect: individually
Impact: on you and your system
Share: your thoughts within your group

• Standards (How do I know standards are
driving instruction?)
• Instructional Strategies(What are the
instructional strategies being used?)
• Assessment Strategies(Are the assessments
aligned to the standards?)
• Reporting Documents(How to reporting
document reflect students’ progress on
standards?)
DeLorenzo’s Top Eight Excuses
to Guarantee No Change

We tried that before
Our district is different
We don’t have the money
Our organization is too small or big
Micro management is our friend
If only you really understood our situation
It’s impossible with our bus schedule!
If only we didn’t have any students I think we
could change a few things!

• Interactive:
Simulation of an event ”City Unit”
• Real Life Connection:
Outside the walls of the classroom, doing the real thing
