Standards Based InstructionPresented by:
Jan Stanley and Erin Sullivan
March 2009
Three Ways to Improve Student Learning
• Raise the level of rigor in the content standards and objectives
• Increase the skill and knowledge of teachers in teaching the content
• Engage students in active learning designed around the standards for content, learning skills and technology tools.

Teacher’s roles
• Design instruction that is based on the WV content, learning skill and technology tool standards, as opposed to the adopted textbook.
• Model appropriate behaviors to build relationships that support Quadrant D learning and assessment as in the rigor and relevance framework.
• Ask more questions than providing answers.
• Make student tasks relevant.
Implement standards based instruction in all classrooms
Students’ Roles
• Work effectively in groups. • Voice understanding of classroom, school,
community and professional expectations and goals.
• Connect learning with real-world applications.• Extend learning beyond requirements of task.
Implement standards based instruction in all classrooms

– To persuade– To entertain– To inform– To determine a specific
viewpoint

• Summative Assessments• Benchmark Assessments• Formative Assessments OF Learning• Formative Assessments/Classroom Assessments
FOR Learning
What are the current steps in the process?
Work collaboratively
• Establish professional learning communities to create cultural shifts– Fundamental purpose– Use of assessments– Response when students do not learn– Work of teachers– Focus –from external assistance to internal acceptance and
ownership to improve the school– School culture– Professional development
• Provide time to collaborate
Backward
Design
1. Identify desired results.
(learning targets)
2. Determine acceptable evidence. (assessments)
3. Plan learning experiences and instruction. (standards based instruction)
Begin with the end in mind.
Depth of Knowledge in the CSOs
• Level 1 – Recall, recognition
• Level 2 – Application of skills, concepts; conceptual understanding; procedural understanding
• Level 3 –Solve problems, draw conclusions given data, arguments, situations and other information; construct mental models translating among different representations; justifying from evidence; summarizing a body of text
• Level 4 – Extended thinking; requires integration of knowledge from multiple sources and ability to represent knowledge in a variety of ways; usually requires work over a period of time
Understanding Depth of Knowledge
DOK is about intended outcome, not difficulty.
DOK is a reference to the complexity of mental processing that must occur to answer a question, perform a task, or generate a product.
Activity: Determining DOK Level
DOK ? Describe a model that you might use to represent the relationships that exist within the rock cycle.
DOK ? Describe the difference between metamorphic and igneous rocks.
DOK ? Describe three characteristics of metamorphic rocks
Standard/Objective:
Type: Knowledge Reasoning Performance Skill Product
Learning TargetsWhat are the knowledge, reasoning, skill or product targets underpinning this objective?
Knowledge Targets
Reasoning Targets
Performance Skill Targets
Product Targets
What must students know to master this standard?
How are students using knowledge to solve a problem, make a decision, form a plan, etc.?
What must students be able to do ? How are they using knowledge and reasoning to perform a task?
What are students asked to produce or create?
Students and Parents as Partners
How can we provide clarity to the students and parents concerning the intended learning? (learning targets)
• “I can” statements
– I can make inferences. This means I can use information I already know and information from what I read to draw a reasonable conclusion. (7th grade)
– I can make inferences. This means I can use information I already know and make a guess that is based on clues in the text. (2nd grade)
Students and Parents as Partners
We are learning to make inferences.
We are combining information we already know with details or clues within a passage to make a guess.
Matching Assessments to Learning Targets
Accuracy in formative assessments requires matching the kinds of learning targets to the appropriate assessment method.
Assessment FOR Learning
• Access what?-small explicit learning targets• Access how?-use a variety of assessment
methods to provide evidence of students’ mastery of the learning targets– Selected response– Constructed response– Extended written response– Performance/product– Personal communication with students
• Access when?-continuous/ongoing
In assessment FOR learning, both teacher and student use classroom assessment information to modify teaching and learning activities.
Questions students should ask teachers
If I have not mastered an objective (summative/benchmark), how will I improve if I don’t know which specific learning targets are keeping me from mastery?
– What knowledge do I need to demonstrate the intended learning?
– What patterns of reasoning do I need to master?– What performance skills are required, if any?– What product development capabilities must I
acquire?

Planning Instruction
• Authentic tasks• Quality resources not limited to a textbook• Connecting school with home, culture and community• Problem-focused learning• Cognitive and metacognition in the context of purposeful
activities• Collaborative work on issues of deep concern to the students• Varied social configuration to complete activities• Engagement in substantive dialogue, discussion, debate
