Collaborating for Success: Standards-Based Teaching
In 2020, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) adopted the New Wisconsin Standards for English Language Arts (ELA). With this new adoption, ELA curriculums in school districts need to be reviewed and re-aligned to the new standards. Through in-district consulting, the CESA 6 Literacy Center will provide the support and professional learning needed to guide the district administrative and teaching staff through a review and realignment process following the Professional Learning Community model.
Phase 1:
- Identify essential standards
- Clarifying proficiency
- Establish common pacing
- Unpacking the standards
Phase 2:
- Aligning learning targets to current units of instruction
- Building a balanced assessment system
- Unit design
Phase 3:
- Creating Common Formative Assessments
- Writing quality summative assessments
Deliverables:
- Set of Essential Standards per grade level
- Visible examples of what proficiency looks like at each grade level
- A guide that organizes when and where standards will be taught during the school year
- A set of Learning Targets per grade level
- Tools to be used to design assessments for validity and reliability
- Effective assessments designed to be used within a teaching unit(s)
