What is an Instructional Bundle? Culminating performance tasks Guidance around use of Universal Design for

Learning (UDL) with specific task support for ELL’s and SWD’s

Rubrics and/or scoring guides Annotated student work Unit outlines Supports for helping students access

complex texts Additional assessment and learning activities

(e.g. initial, formative assessments)

Depth of Knowledge (DOK) As developed by Norman Webb Different from Bloom which focuses

on “type” of thinking (analyzing, comprehending, evaluating)

DOK – how deeply do you have to know the content to be successful?

DOK is not about difficulty it’s about complexity

Level Definition ExamplesDOK 1 – Recall and reproduction

Recall a fact, term, principle, concept or perform a routine procedure.

Recall elements and details of a story; Conduct basic math calculations; Label locations on a map; Measure length; Describe features of a place or people.

DOK 2 – Basic applications of skills/concepts

Use of information, conceptual knowledge, select appropriate procedures for a task, two or more steps with decision points on way, organize display/data, interpret/use simple graphs

Identify and summarize the major events in a narrative; use context clues to identify meaning of unfamiliar words; Solve multi-step problems; Describe cause/effect of events; Identify patterns; Organize, represent and interpret data.

DOK 3 – Strategic Thinking Requires reasoning, developing a plan or sequence of steps to approach a problem, requires decision making and justification, abstract, complex, or non-routine, more than one possible answer

Supports ideas with details and examples; Uses appropriate voice to the purpose and audience; Identify research questions and design investigations; Develop a scientific model for a complex situation

DOK – 4 Extended Thinking An investigation or application to real world; requires time to research, problem solve and process problem or task; non routine manipulations, across disciplines/content areas

Conduct a project that requires specifying a problem, designing and conducting an experiment, analyzing its data, and reporting results/solutions; Apply mathematical models; Analyze and synthesize information from multiple sources

Standards Development Process

College and career readiness standards developed in summer 2009

Based on the college and career readiness standards, K-12 learning progressions developed

Multiple rounds of feedback from states, teachers, researchers, higher education, and the general public

Final Common Core State Standards released on June 2, 2010

What are the Common Core State Standards?

Aligned with college and work expectations

Focused and coherent

Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills

Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards

Internationally benchmarked so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society

Based on evidence and research

State led – coordinated by NGA Center and CCSSO

Intentional Design Limitations

What the Standards do NOT define: How teachers should teach All that can or should be taught The nature of advanced work beyond the core The interventions needed for students well below grade

level The full range of support for English language learners and

students with special needs Everything needed to be college and career ready

Why is This Important? Currently, every state has its own set of academic

standards, meaning public education students in each state are learning to different levels

All students must be prepared to compete with not only their American peers in the next state, but with students from around the world
