Pillars of Network MeetingsNetwork Foundations….

Overcoming Barriers to Success

• Look at the picture on your table; think about the barriers that had to be overcome to achieve that success.

• Now think about the work ahead with the standards: building capacity in your district, deconstruction, implementation, assessment.

• Using the picture and your thoughts about the work ahead, create a T-chart of Successes and Barriers.

• Find another group with a different picture and share your thoughts/ideas/successes/barriers

Guided Practice: Giving Depth to Deconstructions

Move into grade band groups of 3-4; at this point, don’t worry about matching up content areas or grade levels…just Elem, MS and HS.

Choose roles within the group, making one person responsible for addressing misconceptions, one for the appendices, one for the Framework and someone to record on the feedback form

Step 1: Read the PE, Clarification

Statement and Assessment Boundary

Step 2:Read Practices,

DCI and XXC

Write

down your

notes!!!

Step 3: Look at the

progressions in Appendices

E,F,G

Step 4: Are there any

misconceptions that need to be

addressed?

Write

down your

notes!!!

Step 5: Look at the

Framework for additional

clarification

Now, collectively look at the targets as

written

Write

down your

notes!!!

1. Are the targets clear as written?

2. Do the targets

collectively reach the intended learning?

3. Are the targets

categorized appropriately?

If you responded NO to ANY of those questions, you must provide feedback and support with evidence from your conversations (notes)

Now, find another group in your grade band to compare feedback forms. Be prepared to defend your feedback.

Do you feel more confident now in your process?

Interpreting Distance-Time Graphs

Matching a Graph to a Story

P-34

A. Tom took his dog for a walk to the park. He set off slowly and then increased his pace. At the park Tom turned around and walked slowly back home.

C. Tom went for a jog. At the end of his road he bumped into a friend and his pace slowed. When Tom left his friend he walked quickly back home.

B. Tom rode his bike east from his home up a steep hill. After a while the slope eased off. At the top he raced down the other side.

Distance from home

Time

Matching Cards

P-35

• Take turns at matching pairs of cards. You may want to take a graph and find a story that matches it. Alternatively, you may prefer to take a story and find a graph that matches it.

• Each time you do this, explain your thinking clearly and carefully. If you think there is no suitable card that matches, write one of your own.

• Place your cards side by side on your large sheet of paper, not on top of one another, so that everyone can see them.

• Write your reasons for the match on the cards or the poster just as we did with the example in class. Give explanations for each line segment.

• Make sure you leave plenty of space around the cards as, eventually, you will be adding another card to each matched pair.

Sharing Work

P-36

• One student from each group is to visit another group’s poster.

• If you are staying at your desk, be ready to explain the reasons for your group's matches.

• If you are visiting another group:• Write your card placements on a piece of paper.

• Go to another group’s desk and check to see which matches are different from your own.

• If there are differences, ask for an explanation. If you still don’t agree, explain your own thinking.

• When you return to your own desk, you need to consider as a group whether to make any changes to your own poster.

How Do They Go Together?Thinking About Bundling

Work in grade level groups of 2-3 Lay out the strips that contain the Performance

Expectations for your grade level Begin having discussions about what fits together At this point, leave your standards book CLOSED…

consider the content in front of you and how it fits together

How do they fit together? How will you teach them? What are the unit topics?

Chart Paper

• Place Unit Topics• Place PE’s beneath the unit

topic in which you plan to teach them

Some will

go in more

than one

topic!

They may

look

different, but

that’s OK!!Take a

picture to

help you

remember!

Long Term Unit Planning

Have grade level

discussions about

long term planning;

Word copy on

today’s materials

Deconstructions

Once long-term planning is complete, begin working on grade

level deconstructions; Word deconstruction forms on website
