“What Matters Very Much is
Which Classroom?”
“If a student is in one of the
most effective classrooms, he/
she will learn in 6 months what
those in an average classroom
will take a year to learn. And if
a student is in one of the least
effective classrooms in that
school, the same amount of
learning take 2 years.”

Three Critical Interventions
(Commitments)
n 
A system of clear learning goals
connected to student feedback
(assessment) and evaluation at the
classroom, school, and district levels
n 
Ensuring effective teaching in every
classroom
n 
Building background knowledge for all
students

n 
So new teachers (or teachers new to a grade level) know what
to teach.
So we have clear understanding for all teachers of what is
essential at each grade level / course.
So we don t rely on programs and supplemental materials to
tell us what to teach.
So teachers don t simply pick what they like, and students end
up with gaps in learning.
So students have the opportunity to gain deeper, connected
understandings of Essential Standards.
So we stop talking about teachers at other grade levels and
begin talking, planning, and teaching WITH them!

Three points of clarity…
A few aha s…
n  Extending/Advanced
is NOT the new proficient.
n  Extending/Advanced does NOT mean going
into the next year s curriculum---rather going
deeper in the thinking and problem solving
within the power standards.
n  Your achievement level criteria are a work in
progress.

created and give it to someone else who
did not write it.
n  Please review one another s scales
objectively for:
n  Sometimes
you ll find that certain standards
do not have multiple levels.
n  You see that the tasks add the clarity to the
knowledge and skills.
n  You really want to consider the verbs and the

to increase your levels.

•  Learners will formulate solutions with relevant data
based upon information provided.
•  Students review information sources with solutions
provided.
•  Students practice creating new solutions
•  Students use a Line-up Activity to practice substantiating a
solution with relevant data sources.
•  Students are presented with information to formulate at
least two probable solutions.
•  Given a set of information, students formulate a solution that is
not listed. Student support that solution with relevant data.

For students with special
learning needs…
What about scales for special
learning situations?
Add accommodations to the existing scale
by increasing the 2.0, 2.5 levels on way to
the 3.0, showing smaller gradations of
growth.
Does the student need special support or
extensions for this measurement topic or essential
learning?
NO, the regular

Critical to know and understand:
A new, next generation assessment program will
accompany the Common Core State Standards. These
assessments range far beyond the usual multiple-choice
and short-answer questions. Instead, students will have to
apply their knowledge to real-world situations through
performance events. They will have to work in
interdisciplinary situations. They will have to be able to use
technology with facility. Some performance events will take
weeks to complete.
CCSS Assessments:
Assessments may be performance-based and multiple choice.
One assessment task may test multiple related standards.
Assessments may require technology skills to respond to questions.
Assessments may require critical thinking: for example, claim-evidence
-counter-claim approach; compare and contrast tasks; cause and
effect relationships.
Assessments may require writing in response to text.
Assessments may be timed.

Drag-and-Drop Example: Students would read a passage that
provides information about different characteristics of African and
Asian elephants. Students would be asked to think about the
similarities and differences between the two elephants. Instructions
to students: Using your mouse, click on two sentences from the
paragraphs you have read in the text, that illustrate how the two
elephants differ, and drag each sentence into the Difference box.
Then, click and drag two sentences from the paragraphs that show
how the two elephants are similar, and place them in the Similar

Critical to know and understand:
For teachers, this new form of evaluation means
developing a full understanding of performance
events, how to construct them, and how to
evaluate student work. In order to prepare students
for such assessments, teachers will have to give
students ample practice in this style of evaluation.
In addition, the new assessments require teachers to
make substantial use of formative assessment
techniques.
