Presenter Introduction:

• Current AP/honors high school teacher at SPHS

• Education history . . .

This Session’s Goals:

• PWBAT understand the new standards scope and sequence for next year’s CCSS as aligned to the PARCCitecture March (writing) and May (reading) testing for the 2014-2015 School Year.

• PWBAT use 9A, 9B, and 9C curriculum map drafts as standards templates to begin writing a single, collective 7B, 7C, 8B, and 8C, exemplar map that have appropriate rigor and pacing for the 7th and 8th grade levels.

Research Based Support for Today’s Session:

• In November of 2000, the Virginia Department of Education reported that "curriculum mapping is one of the 7 most effective practices having a positive effect on student performance."

The Indiana Center for Evaluation listed curriculum alignment as one of the "effective school practices" adopted by successful Ohio school districts.

According to Robert Marzano, "A guaranteed and viable curriculum is the number one school-level factor impacting student achievement."
