build the capacity of teachers to use their content expertise and passion for student learning to create samples that support
teaching to student mastery of the Colorado Academic Standards.

Colorado’s District Sample Curriculum Project
Rationale/origins From its beginnings, the field of educators across the state has been the force
behind this project. This will continue to be the case as the project and its outcomes are:
Driven by the field Generated by the field Relevant to the field
As the next step in standards support for the state, the project is oriented around three fundamental goals:
Facilitating successful implementation of the CAS Helping build the capacity of Colorado educators to create curriculum materials
based on the standards Bringing together Colorado’s educators to create a variety of samples that reflect
the diversity of our school districts

Today’s Goals
Explore the processes utilized to create the units Workshop trajectory (3-4 days with follow-up work editing and refining) Major steps in unit construction of the units Intentional curriculum design Connections with Academic and Teacher Quality Standards
Discuss the future of the District Sample Curriculum Project (DSCP)

Colorado’s District Sample Curriculum Project
Project phases and major outcomesPhase One (Completed-Fall 2012): Colorado educators work together in grade level and content area teams to engage in
process of translating Colorado Academic Standards into curriculum samples Educators create unit overview samples based on the CAS for all subjects and grades Standards and Instructional Support team produces Process Guide for creating unit
overviews
Phase Two (Completed-Spring 2013): Standards and Instructional Support team conducts area workshops across the state to
build capacity around the process and products associated with the Project Hundreds of Colorado educators participate and begin process of adapting/modifying
existing samples and/or creating their own unit overviews
Phase Three (Fall 2013-Winter 2014): Colorado educators create full instructional units for all subjects and grades based on select
unit overviews created during Phase One

Unit OverviewsParticipants 500+ educator participants in 5 workshops and 2 external review cycles 47 of 64 Colorado counties represented 70+ of 178 Colorado school districts represented
Products 700+ unit overviews- all content areas (k-12) and STEM (1st, 8th, high school) All samples coded to the CAS-Ensuring attention to all Evidence Outcomes (indicators of
mastery) Teacher/educator authorship and district affiliation noted at the bottom of every unit

Teacher-Authored Samples
Instructional UnitsDuring a three-day workshop a team of educators created an instructional unit designed to provide teachers with support for using their professional judgment to teach to student mastery of the standards-based generalizations, content, and skills of one selected overview.
Teams were typically comprised of:
2 general education teachers (content specialists)
1 ELL teacher
1 Gifted and Talented teacher
1 Special education teacher
1 Title One teacher
100+ units developed and published on March 31, 2014 (one for each grade k-12 mathematics, reading, writing, and communicating, science, social studies, comprehensive health, visual arts, drama/theatre, dance, and music).

Making Connections: Teacher Quality Standards and
Self-Assessment RubricI can identify the Teacher Quality Standards and Elements I utilized in Standards-Inspired Planning: By Teachers for Teachers, The Future of Instructional Design.
How can this process support you in demonstrating your effectiveness? Review the Teacher Quality Standards and Elements. Highlight or star the elements the relate to the process you used to develop curriculum. Write one a-ha that will support you in developing your curriculum unit next semester. Be sure your name is on your paper and turn it in to Jenny.

Unit Development-Personal Financial Literacy
Moving Trains Strategy: an individual or organization who is highly motivated to lead, inspire, and elevate our profession by doing good work: work that is good in quality, good for the soul, and good for the world.
Spring 2015 Standards and Instructional Support team is building one mathematics
and one social studies unit in personal financial literacy for elementary grades
Units will be built in 3-day workshop this spring (dates TBD) following the processes you explored today
Participant-authors will receive a small stipend and will be recognized as authors on the CDE website and the published units
Interested Authors submit one sentence describing why you’d like to participate to Jenny on or before Friday!
