Add what these were


Committee

Wide participation from across the state

– All geographic areas– Teachers– Librarians– Career and Technology Specialists– Educational Technology Specialists– District leadership– Professors


Initial Process Features

• 4 Meetings Face-to-face

• 2 Meetings via Webinars and Conference calls

• IDEAL - Google Docs

• IDEAL - Google Sites


Highlights• Six strands are interdependent

• Less focus on how-to use tools

• Focus on development of problem-solving and critical thinking skills

• Mastery at 8th grade and workforce transition in High School

• Alignment with• National Educational Technology Standards (NETS-S) • Partnership for 21st Century skills

• Correlation with• International Technology Education Association (ITEA)• American Association of School Libraries (AASL)

• Creativity and Innovation– Knowledge and Ideas– Digital Models and

Simulations– Trends and Possibilities– Original Works

• Communication and Collaboration– Digital Interactions– Effective Communications– Digital Solutions– Global Connections

• Research and Information Literacy– Planning– Process– Select– Product

• Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making– Investigation– Data Collection and Analysis– Data and Analysis– Use Multiple and Diverse

Perspectives• Digital Citizenship

Processes– Transfer of Knowledge


Comment Time• September-November 2008 – Public

Review– Draft posted on ADE website with a web-

based survey– Email, mail, FAX

• Public Forums: Tucson, Mesa, Flagstaff, Lake Havasu, Yuma, and Phoenix


Post Comment Process

Next Steps• Create a resource guide- December 2008 – April 2009 – Similar to the Math Resource Guide– Provide support for teachers as they implement the standard

Performance Objectives Process Integration Explanations and Examples

Students are expected to:

PO 1. Determine equivalence by converting between benchmark fractions, decimals, and percents. Connections: M05-S1C1-04, M05-S1C1-05, M05-S1C2-01, M05-S1C3-01, M05-S2C2-01, M05-S5C1-01

M05-S5C2-05. Represent a problem situation using any combination of words, numbers, pictures, physical objects, or symbols.M05-S5C2-07. Analyze and evaluate whether a solution is reasonable, is mathematically correct, and answers the question.

Students use models, pictures, symbols and spoken and written words. Benchmark fractions include common fractions between 0 and 1 such as halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eighths, and tenths.

Write 20% as a fraction in simplest form and a decimal.


Looking Ahead


Professional Development

• Approximately 60,000 Arizona teachers

• Options for professional development– Statewide Instructional Technology Project– Online course– Train the trainer toolkit


Online Course

• Pilot in summer

• Revise course for full state roll-out based upon the survey results from the pilot
