Instructional Program Coherence
ObjectiveExperience the process for interdisciplinary program design
OutcomesUse tools and strategies to generate student proficiencies & demonstrations of mastery
Develop an action plan to continue this work back on your campus
What is Program Coherence?A set of interrelated programs for students and staff that are guided by a common framework for
• Curriculum• Instruction• Assessment• Learning climate
and are pursued over a sustained period.
Watch the video for evidence of a common framework for each element
21st Century Learning SkillsHow well does your vision support these important outcomes?
Vision and Mission
If we could be what we wanted in five years, what would we be?
How would we know we are there?
What would be a stretch for ourselves?
What would be worth committing to over the next ten years?
What makes our SLC’s vision distinct?
Step 1: Knows and DosWhat do students need to know and be able to do?
List your theme/academy name in the center of the proficiency map
Study West Clermont materials for examples of student centered knows and dos
Brainstorm knows and dos
Share out
Synthesize materials
Analyze & justify responses
Problem solve for real life situations
The vision of the 9th grade SLC is to ensure a successful
transition to our HS by establishing the habits & skills necessary
to foster involvement & value academic success in a safe,
supported environment
Self evaluate & reflect on Learning
Evaluate information & data
Presentation: oral written visual
Resources: find use cite
Analyze texts & graphs
Utilize Process timeline brainstorm set goals
Research
Critical Thinking
Partial Proficiency Map - 2 areas from 1st draft of 9th grade team work. Missing CTE & extended core standards.
StandardsSci – 3.2Math – A.1, A.2Eng – 3.3, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 4.1SS – 1.1, 1.2
StandardsSci – 1.2, 1.3Math – A.1, A.2Eng – 2.3, 2.4, 4.2SS – 2.1, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2
Step 2: ProficienciesHow can knows and dos be grouped into meaningful and coherent concepts?
Study Noble High School guiding principles for examples of student proficiencies
Cluster knows and dos into 3 – 6 proficiency areas
Name them. Write proficiency names in gray boxes
Step 3: AdequacyAre these effective proficiencies?
How would you modify your proficiencies to better meet the criteria?
Do they foster –FocusCoherenceRelevanceEquityPriorities
Step 4: Standards MappingWhat content standards can be addressed through the proficiencies?
Identify key content standards for your discipline that:
•Relate to one of the proficiencies
•Address a high need area identified in your student data
•Are high impact and worth spending time on
•Can be taught across the curriculum
Color code them by expectations at higher and lower grade levels
Step 5: Demonstrations of MasteryWhat performance tasks will demonstrate that students have mastered proficiencies mid- and endpoints of study?
Study High Tech High Senior Project
• If you already have a senior project:• How well does it demonstrate the desired
proficiencies?• How could it be extended to other grade
levels to show progress?
• If developing demonstrations of mastery:• What is an appropriate level of mastery of
proficiencies at upper and lower grade levels?• How could students demonstrate their
mastery of 2 or more proficiencies through a performance task?
