We are connected to authentic learning at elementary! We continue to talk about how we can get to authentic learning!

Passed/implemented in 2016. By when are districts expected to have fully implemented?

Students are learning about community helpers and what they do.

Rich Social Studies and Science curriculum support students in developing wide interests and introduce them to potential pathways they may not have known existed. Inquiry based model supports them in becoming active in asking questions and following lines of interest, honors the student as active in their own learning while equipping them with skills critical to the workforce (e.g. collaboration, flexibility, self-driven)

Personalized learning connects to reading & writing workshop.

Competency based learning can also connect to standards-based grading

How does competency based education look at the elementary level?

Competency-Based Learning is definitely in line with our practices in K-5.  The difference between Differentiation/Personalized Learning is one area that we need to look deeper into how we can support this area.

Social Studies Curriculum that both addresses and move beyond the standards is equipping our students with a global view of the world. For example, students learn about the basic government roles in the community AND begin to explore other cultures through the study of the continents. These threads are woven throughout. Units in 3rd, 4th, and 5th, address almost all of the 7 Illinois college and career pathways in some way. K, 1, 2 introduce some of them in grade appropriate ways.

I guess I'm wondering a few things things -
how will students be prepped about what fits in these categories/paths and what if the want to switch pathways? Doesn't that negatively affect their completion time? What if they have no idea what path they want to pursue at the age of 12?

Focus on equity in resources (as a starting point for more needed work...) seeks to empower all students with a vision for their future that includes career pathways. Access to all College and Career pathways for students of color or under resourced communities can and should be a priority starting the moment children enter our schools.

# data[].attributes.body
What if students don't know what path they want to take that early? Will they miss out on other opportunities/options later?

# data[].attributes.body
Interested to know how this is going to be implemented to meet all students' needs

Seeing a big connection with our STEM program offering students exciting early experiences in these fields and equipping them to want to know more.

So many pathways are connected to our ssgs curriculum! We cannot reduce our teaching and learning in ssgs!

The Key Competencies are so deeply connected to the Inquiry model we use across subjects in Elementary. It would be good to have a more flushed out way of tracking how those skills are developing across the years. It's easy to get lost in content at elementary, it would be good for teachers to hear the message that these competencies are important to middle and high school teachers. This messaging has to be paired with how we look at data.

Differentiation vs. Personalization will need some learning at elementary

With the emphasis on critical thinking and analysis, that is where the UoS is strong.

How do we assess those personal competencies?

What kind of professional learning and PD is already in placed and planned, and what is still needed at BHS? What ideas are there for PD for elementary?

do you foresee vertical articulation across K-12 to discuss how these steps are in place?
