Only need to know 3 things:

Did student get the standard? yes/no

If not, does student need a little support or a lot of support? Difference btw 1 or 2

If so, has student mastered it or exceeded it?

Standards are not made for October - they are made for end of year.

What if tell student: Here's the standard; I'll give you a grade when you reach it.

Give feedback instead of grades while working towards standard.

On report card, give score with the expected score at that point in the year - e.g., student has a C (basic) in Novemer and C is exactly where they should be at that point in the year.

We (teachers) are the cargo ships and we have precious cargo - our students and the next generation.....

Great teachers need a successful system - "our kids/holistic school" versus "my kids/our own classrooms"

Teachers are being asked to teach things that they were never taught.

Writing and reading instruction should vertically align in grades 1-8.

Meetings should facilitate conversations that assist teachers in aligning the vertical progression of ELA skills. (examples given in session)

PLANNED SEQUENTIAL CURRICULUM !!!

Every two days now we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until  2003.  - Eric Schmidt Google CEO - that reality directly impacts teachers, education, students of today.

5 years from now, what do you hope will be different in our school?

5 months?

Climate is immediate and culture is long term.

Culture impacts commitment. Commitment determines efficacy. Efficacy impacts student achievement.

Some common teacher fears:

1. “If I don’t grade it, they won’t do it” - more, they won’t try as hard as they would have if they were getting a “grade”

2. “It’s too high stakes” -because the grade is based on fewer items?

3. ”Grades will go down” - as we become more precise with our instruction

These ARE problems, unless they’re accompanied by the necessary instructional shifts.
