WASC Goal #1: DVCA will improve instructional strategies within the context of the PBL classroom in order to ensure that academic standards being taught in each class and unit are emphasized by the teacher and understood by the range of students. by https://padlet.com/tmillsap1/h7rpk8y0uvra "Unpack" WASC Goal #1 from last full cycle. In other words, what is the following goal asking us to do? What must we demonstrate and in what ways might this be helpful to our collective teaching & learning? en-us 2019-01-16 15:03:11 UTC 2019-01-16 16:33:08 UTC hello@padlet.com First Goal MrBellDaVinci https://padlet.com/tmillsap1/h7rpk8y0uvra/wish/321304979 What does this goal ask: Using PBL, teachers will provide instruction in their content area of expertise that meets state standards.  Further, it is expected that students who pass the course have met, or exceeded the basic standards.
We must demonstrate that we are teaching these standards, and that students are given the opportunity to meet the standards.
Reviewing the state standards will help us understand where we are meeting standards and where we need to improve.

We must demonstrate mastery of each standard by collecting data. This might be helpful in our collective teaching and learning because not only will the teacher know which areas their students struggle with the most, but so will the students. ]]> 2019-01-16 16:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tmillsap1/h7rpk8y0uvra/wish/321305288 Find a way to track each students' understanding of each standard. https://padlet.com/tmillsap1/h7rpk8y0uvra/wish/321305578 2019-01-16 16:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tmillsap1/h7rpk8y0uvra/wish/321305578 Goal #1 tom_kurth https://padlet.com/tmillsap1/h7rpk8y0uvra/wish/321305726 To align standards so that both teachers and students know and understand them and can quickly and easily access them.
Teachers also should make sure that standards are being met in each project.]]> 2019-01-16 16:20:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tmillsap1/h7rpk8y0uvra/wish/321305726 Prove the standards are being taught https://padlet.com/tmillsap1/h7rpk8y0uvra/wish/321305831 With the transition to Common Core, the state wants to know that, in a PBL environment, the students are learning the content and skills mandated by the state standards. We have to show that our students are learning the required content in a way that is more lasting and meaningful than the "coverage" of the standards that happens in a more traditional setting.]]> 2019-01-16 16:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tmillsap1/h7rpk8y0uvra/wish/321305831 Standards-based PBL Ms_Uliasz https://padlet.com/tmillsap1/h7rpk8y0uvra/wish/321305848 This goal is asking us to ensure that our projects/units are clearly  standards-based, and that we are teaching/communicating them in a way that students know what they are learning & when/why. I think this could benefit our projects and instruction as the other anchor, along with authenticity, to provide high quality instruction.

We will need to dive into the content and CCSS standards to align our course work and check off what we already do, as well as develop strategies to "cover" more standards through new instructional methods or modifications to projects. Also a more clear cut assessment tool must be created to track staff knowledge about this as well as a way for students to clearly track what and the "why" behind their learning]]> 2019-01-16 16:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tmillsap1/h7rpk8y0uvra/wish/321305873 Goal Tracking beau_runyan https://padlet.com/tmillsap1/h7rpk8y0uvra/wish/321305951 Students, teachers and observers should completely understand the academic standards for a project.
