Agenda:
• Overview
• Understanding the Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards
• Planning for Instruction
• A bit about the WAA
![Page 4: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

In the beginning….
• We had the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/standards/index.html
• They were written for grades 4, 8 and 12
• We had to develop the Assessment Frameworks, grade-leveled for grades 3-8 for Reading, Mathematics and Science
• Assessment Frameworks became the foundation of the WKCE
![Page 5: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Then came…
• The Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards
• Developed by Wisconsin educators• For students with significant cognitive
disabilities • Reflect the “essence” of Wisconsin’s
Model Academic Standards and the Assessment Frameworks
• Became the foundation of the WAA-SwD• http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/sped/pdf/waa-extstd-full.pdf

So what are your instructional options for your students with disabilities?
• Teach content aligned with the Assessment Frameworks– Without accommodations– With accommodations– With instructional
modifications
-OR-• Teach an alternate curriculum
aligned with the Extended Grade Band Standards
![Page 10: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
• Let’s take a look at your copy of the Extended Grade Band Standards document
![Page 11: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Purpose of the Extended Grade Band Objectives
• Descriptions of what students are expected to know and be able to do.
• Grade level learning outcomes based on the WMAS and the Extended Grade Band Standards.
• Instructional planning will focus on the Proficient level for all students.
![Page 12: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Use of Extended Grade Band Standards Instructional
Achievement Descriptors
• To design classroom instruction
• To set goals for the student
• To chart student progress
• To develop classroom assessments
![Page 13: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Levels of Instructional Performance
Advanced – A student at this level performs at a higher level of complexity without support than those described in the proficient level.
Proficient – A student at this level performs without support at a level aligned with the extended grade band objectives.
Basic – A student at this level performs some of the content and skills with minimal support.
Minimal – A student at this level attempts to perform tasks with significant support.
![Page 14: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Incorporating Extended Grade Band Standards into Instruction
![Page 15: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Step One: Know the Extended Grade Band Standards
Become familiar with the extended grade band objectives at the student’s grade level for each content area.
![Page 16: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Questions to consider:• Do I teach these
Extended Grade Band Objectives?
• Or do I need to add these Extended Grade Band Objectives to my teaching practice?
![Page 17: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
For example: SUBJECT: MATHGrade Band: 5-6
What I teach
• Compare two groups based on more or less.
What I need to add
• Identify directions (e.g., east, west, north, south).
![Page 18: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Step Two:
Determine Baseline
• Determine current performance of each student on the Extended Objectives
– Use Instructional Achievement Descriptors to obtain baseline data of students’ performance.
– Identify student ability to complete skills independently or with assistance.
![Page 19: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
A CHECKLIST to identify individual student achievement levels
• Use the Achievement Descriptors to determine the baseline of achievement for each content area.
• Use the examples within the Instructional Achievement Descriptors as a guide in moving students toward proficiency.
![Page 20: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Step Three: Design an Instructional Plan
Map out an instructional program targeting areas determined to be below proficiency.
Consider:• Current performance / Baseline;• Activities to increase knowledge and skills;
and• Work toward the Instructional Achievement Descriptor that represents proficiency.
![Page 21: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Questions to consider:
• Are there different ways to present the skill?• Are there different ways to assess student
performance?• Is there technology that will enable the student
to achieve the standard?• Are there supports that lead to student success?• Are there different ways for the student to
demonstrate the standard?
![Page 22: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
But what about students with the most significant cognitive
disabilities?
Specific options and examples were built into the Extended Grade Band Objectives at the minimal level to help those students with more severe cognitive disabilities.
![Page 23: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Step Four:Linking to the IEP
IEP Teams need to consider the Extended Grade Band Objectives when
developing the IEP
![Page 24: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
IEP team Considerations
• Present Level of Academic Achievement & Functional Performance
• Goals• Short Term Objectives
The IEP team may use Baseline information from selected Extended Grade Band
Objectives.
![Page 25: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Annual Academic and Functional Goals
READING
MATH
SCIENCE
FUNCTIONAL
SKILLS
![Page 26: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
• For students with the most significant cognitive disabilities, the IEP may be the best measure of their progress.
• But you still need to teach them content as presented in the Extended Grade Band Standards.
![Page 27: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Step Five: Assess student progress
• Is the student making progress on the skills?• Do you need to adjust your lesson plans and/or
do some reteaching?• Is the student ready to progress to the next
instructional activity?
![Page 28: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Teacher To Do List…
1. Read through the Extended Grade Band Standards, Objectives and Instructional Achievement Descriptors for the students in the matching grades.
2. Document the achievement baseline for each student who will be instructed using the Extended Grade Band Standards, in each content area.
3. Design instructional activities to support student learning for the objectives identified as below proficiency.
![Page 29: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

But what about the WKCE and the WAA-SwD?
• Participation in Statewide Assessments (I-7) describes in which statewide or district-wide assessments the student will participate, with any needed accommodations.
• Assessment Accommodations Matrix http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/oea/pdf/accom08.pdf
• If the IEP Team is considering having the student participate in the WAA-SwD, need to complete I-7-A WAA-SwD Participation Checklist.
![Page 31: Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681572a550346895dc4c4a4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
