  • ObjectivesExamine the different ways standards can be customized in Atlas to model best practices.Analyze the various assessment methods used in your classroom and discover those employed across your school. Apply the Atlas Reporting Tools to verify a quality, standards-based, taught curriculum.Use the Atlas Reporting Tools to ensure a learning-oriented assessed curriculum.

  • Standards Management: The (Re)Define PhaseCareful, deliberate, informed standards change/ decisionsNeeds Analysis:Assessment of what should be in existence based on external criteria Assessment of what should be in existence based on internal criteria Provide direction: Goals Objectives

  • Use of descriptors

  • What is the intended and curriculum at your school? How does the taught curriculum align to it?Is it mandated or developed by the school?Does everybody understand it?Do you communicate to all constituencies?Is it in alignment with your school mission?How do you incorporate character?What about early childhood?

  • Selecting StandardsAdapting StandardsDIY StandardsHorizontal and Vertical Coherence

    Standards Management: The Design Phase

  • What process/strategies do you follow to (re) define and design your academic standards? What was the trigger event to adopt your current standards?Who do you involve? Who was involved initially?What is the shelf life of your standards?What is the timing for introducing revisions?How do you go about introducing them in Atlas?

  • Standards Management: The Implement PhaseHow standards (as the planned curriculum) can be integrated into the:Taught curriculumAssessed curriculum(implications to the learned curriculum)

  • Available Reports in Atlas:Standards OverviewStandards ProfilingMy StandardsQuick ReportsMy ReportsStandards Management: The Analyze/ Evaluate Phase

  • What is a 3rd graders assessment experience at the school?

  • As a school, how many times are students mastering benchmarks through assessment?

  • How can you get a quick view for what standards and benchmarks have been assessed in science?

  • What are some questions you have about your standards and benchmarks?Take 5 minutes to compile a list of key questions.See if you translate these questions into queries in Analyze.Standards ProfilingStandards OverviewDont forget to visit the tutorials under Info.

  • Create some Samples (My Reports) that will be helpful in future conversations.Be prepared to share your samples.

    **4th bullet: Create your own reports in Atlas to help facilitate conversations on alignment and coverage of standards and benchmarks.

    *What does TESOL mean?AERO: standards and performance goalsACTFL : progress indicatorsIB PYP: Expectations, Subject Specific Skills (Science and SS), Learning OutcomesSpanish national ministry: Objetivos, Contenidos, Criterios de evaluacionTESOL Standards and progress indicators**A system that is designed to produces analyzable dataAn outcomes-oriented process (not a process for the sake of the process)A system based on if-then logic: If the curricular program is designed correctly, it will yield the desired outcomes. If such outcomes are not forthcoming, the program should be re-designed.***Activity: What does standards alignment mean to you?
