Purpose
•Purpose: To create different modes of professional learning with which teachers and administrators can engage in order to increase their exposure, knowledge, and comfort level with Common Core State Standards and Curricula.
Online Course Objectives • Each grade level will begin with familiarizing
participants with the Common Core State Standards so that participants understand the alignment between the standards, curricula and assessments.
• The course will then move to an exploration and unpacking of the curriculum in which participants understand the framework, learning targets, and lesson activities of each unit.
• The course will then introduce participants to the assessments within each unit, their alignment to the standards, and ultimately, their alignment to the NYS ELA Examination.
Online Course Objectives • The course will then introduce the concept of
differentiation and how these techniques can be applied to specific lessons within the units in order to meet student needs by tiering the tasks, not the texts.
• A vital component of these online courses will be the pre and post-assessments that participants will take at the beginning and end of the course in order to measure their growth in understanding and implementing the Common Core Curricula to meet the needs of their students.
Outcomes • During the first year of implementation of these
online courses (2014-2015 school year), we will be able to evaluate the effectiveness of the courses through anecdotal feedback from participants and pre and post-assessment data from each course.
• In addition to the data collection used during the first year of implementation, the second year of implementation will afford us with an opportunity of measuring the impact of these courses on student learning. In the 2015-2016 school year, we will be able to disaggregate student assessment data according to those teachers that have participated in these online courses.
