Power Standards

Power Standards Are:
• The heart of the heart, the essence of the essence of what we want our students to know and be able to do.
• Focused on the most critical achievement targets for student learning.

WHY POWER STANDARDS
• FROM FRANTIC COVERAGE OF IMPOSSIBLE CURRICULUM TO
POWER STANDARDS

WHY POWER STANDARDS• The number of school days and hours in
those days has remained constant while the curriculum has expanded.

WHY POWER STANDARDS
• Wisconsin has 501 academic content standards that students should know and be able to do.
• When everything is a priority, nothing is a priority.
• For most students and teachers, 501 is not a manageable number.
• 501 Wisconsin academic standards would require 15, 465 hours for students to learn
• K-12 vs. K-2117

Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum
“Opportunity to learn[OTL] has the strongest relationship with student achievement of all school-level factors.”
Robert Marzano , What Works In Classroom Instruction? (2000).

Time and Viability
“ A viable curriculum is unattainable without the benefit of time. The content that teachers are expected to address must be adequately covered in the instructional time teachers have available”
Robert Marzano, What Works In
Schools, (2003).

The 9000 Hour Experience
Over a 13 year, K-12, period of time, 12% of all student available time is involved with teacher lead instruction. Conversely, 88% of all student available time is involved “somewhere else.”
Estimation….. 15,465 hours are needed to adequately address identified standards and benchmarks.

POWER STANDARDSTHE DOUBTERS• “But we MUST cover every subject to get students
ready for the next grade!”• “It’s in the standards so we MUST teach it!”• “If the kids miss a test item on the formula for the
volume of a prism, it won’t be my fault. Hey—I covered it at 10:43 a.m. on March 23rd.”
• I.O.O.N.-- “Instructional Objective Overload Neurosis.”

POWER STANDARDSAVOIDING THE EXTREMES
• Extreme #1: “You can’t trust those teachers—you have to tell them exactly what to do every minute.”
The COOKBOOK Mentality
27
![Page 26: The Concept of “Power Standards”](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816124550346895dd07d8a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
POWER STANDARDS
• Extreme #2: “Just leave me alone and let me teach—only the teacher really knows what is important for kids to learn.”
The ISLAND Mentality

WHY POWER STANDARDS• Educational leaders
have as a primary calling the task of distinguishing the most critical achievement targets at each stage of a student’s educational journey.
To avoid an overcrowded curriculum, educational leaders need to differentiate between those topics that are essential and those that are simply nice to know.

Who move qualified then… the classroom teacher

WHY POWER STANDARDS• Power Standards identify a “Core of
Knowledge”, Skills, and Reasoning and also acknowledge the uniqueness of a given student, classroom of students, and each educator’s teaching background/uniqueness

Power Standards IdentificationKey Reflective Question…
• What do your students need for success…
in school this year? next year? in life? in multiple disciplines? And…
on the WKCE?

WHY POWER STANDARDS
• POWER STANDARDS REFLECT the concepts of:

Power Standards Identification Criteria
• Endurance- Will this standard or benchmark provide students with knowledge and skills that will be of value beyond a single test?
• Leverage- Will this standard or benchmark provide students with knowledge and skills that well be of value in multiple disciplines?

Power Standards Identification Criteria (Continued)
• Readiness for the Next Level of Learning- Will this standard or benchmark provide students with essential knowledge and skills that are necessary for success in the next grade level or next level of instruction?
• WKCE Preparedness- Will this standard or benchmark provide students the best opportunity to be successful when completing the WKCE?

The Concept of Power Standards
• Key Question:
What is the potential applicability of the concept of Power Standards to the Common Core
Initiative?
