8 Components of Full Florida Standards Implementation

Module 5A Outcomes

• Assess understanding of the instructional shifts, aligned instructional practices, and Universal Design for Learning

• Share experiences with developing and delivering Florida Standards aligned lessons

• Examine lessons that teacher leaders have developed and delivered using the EQuIP Rubric and lesson planning process

• Examine UDL supports to lessons aligned with the three instructional shifts

• Collaborate on possible UDL supports to Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy aligned lessons

• Identify relevant resources for implementation and strengthen the peer support network

Instructional Shifts

Section 1

10

Three Instructional Shifts for ELA & Literacy

11

Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction

Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational

Regular practice with complex text and its academic language

Instructional Shift #1: Building Knowledge Through Content-Rich Text

12

1. Balance of Literature & Informational Text (NAEP, 2009) 4th: 50% literary, 50% informational 8th: 45% literary, 55% informational 12th: 30% literary, 70% informational

2. Texts worth reading to provoke critical thinking

Instructional Shift #2: Reading, Writing, and Speaking Grounded in Evidence

13

1. Reading like a careful writer2. Using evidence to support a point of view3. Purposeful writing to explain, persuade, and narrate4. Presentation of knowledge and ideas

Instructional Shift #3: Regular Practice with Complex Text and Its Academic Language

14

Reading Standard 10: Read and comprehend complex literary and informational text independently

Reading Standard 4: Interpret words and phrases

Language Standards 4-6: Determine the meaning of vocabulary and acquire/use academic and domain-specific vocabulary; attention to text structure and syntax

How Will the 3 Shifts Impact:

Goal: Improved student proficiency on grade level outcomes & readiness for college and careers

Activity 1: Sharing Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy Aligned Lessons

16

Sharing Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy Aligned Lessons

1. In table groups of K-1, 2-3, & 4-5 teacher leaders, share your experiences developing and delivering Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy aligned lessons that specify:

1. Text selection2. Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy3. Key ideas and understandings4. Text-dependent questions5. Targeted academic language

Reflect on positive outcomes and any challenges.

2. Colleagues use the EQuIP Rubrics to provide feedback on alignment relative to the standards and instructional shifts.

The BIG Question from Reading Standard 10:

How do we help all students becomeindependent and proficient readers (and writers) of complex text?

Universal Design for LearningDiminishing Barriers to Learning

“Barriers to learning are not, in fact, inherent in the capacities of learners, but instead arise in learners' interactions with inflexible educational goals, materials, methods, and assessments.”

Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age, p. vCAST (Center for Applied Special Technology)

What is Universal Design for Learning?

UDL Principles and Practices

Discussion Prompts• What is the main purpose of UDL?

• Why do you think multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement may help more students be successful and thwart barriers to learning?

• What do the terms “universal,” “design,” and “learning” refer to in the learning process?

Options which will

engage and increase interest

Multiple Means of Representation

How can I make certain:

new concepts and key information are equally perceived and accessible by all students?(display, visual, auditory, manipulative, hands-on)

my students will understand and will be able to generalize and transfer this information?(multiple illustrations, patterns, organizing information)

29

Designing Lessons to Address Means of Representation

– Assistive technology– Offer text-to-speech, video, or audio support– Provide vocabulary support– Highlight critical features & main ideas – Use colors, large font size, underlining– Word Sorts– Analytic Graphic Organizers

Multiple Means of Expression

Have I provided:

materials and resources with which all students can interact, navigate, and express what they know?

modalities for expression to allow all students the opportunity to express their knowledge, ideas, and concepts in various ways?

33

Designing Lessons to Address Means of Expression

– Students show what they know - voice recording, graphic displays, performance

– Models, charts, graphs, posters– Supports such as story starters, guided

outlines, etc.– Assistive technology– Coding the Text–

Multiple Means of Engagement

Have I provided:

alternative ways to increase student interest, ways that may help motivate them to want to learn more?

options for students who differ in motivation and self-regulation skills?

36

Designing Lessons to Address Means of Engagement

– Vary levels of challenge and support to prevent frustration or boredom

– Tie work to real-world examples– Where possible, give choices – Teach self-assessment and reflection– Hands-on manipulative– Collaborative work– Multimedia

Coding Text/Comprehension Monitoring

59

Directions1. Choose 2–3 codes that support the purpose of the reading 2. Model the practice, using an overhead or whiteboard

3. Conduct a Think-Aloud, mark the text so students witness the meta-cognitive process

4. Review the codes and have students code their reactions on the page margins, lined paper inserts, or sticky notes

Grades 3-5 Coding – Use 2 or 3 Codes at a Time

Builds comprehension after first reading or second reading

1. Provide criteria for selecting quotes

2. Students write a quote or excerpt in the “Quote” column

3. Students pose 2-3 questions that each quote or excerpt raises for them in the “Questions” column

4. Students write a response to the quote in “Response” column based on evidence from sources within and/or outside of the text

WORD SORTS “Research indicates that classifying

activities helps students better understand content and helps them to see content and words in different ways.”

(Ripoll, 1999)

66

WORD SORTS

67

1. Provide vocabulary words for students to copy onto cards or sticky notes

2. Pairs or groups place words into categories a) teacher provides categories (closed sort) or b) students generate the categories (open sort)

3. Pairs or group share theira) reasoning and evidenceb) why they sorted the vocabulary in a particular way

4. Students state the evidence for placing that word into the category

5. Use the word sort to write about the concept

Two Types of Word Sorts

Activity 3, Part 1: Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy Aligned Instructional StrategiesFlorida Standards for ELA & Literacy Aligned Instructional Strategies

1. Working in grade level groups of four, each person will choose one of the instructional strategies that align to Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy shifts and demonstrate UDL Practices.

2. Answer the discussion prompts on page 29-30 for your assigned strategy then share your answers with your group.

3. Using the grade level texts on pages 31-36, create one AGO, one Word Sort, one QQR and a list of codes for the text.

4. Write the title of your text at the top of a sheet of chart paper then use a marker to divide the paper into four sections. Place a sample illustration of each of the above strategies your group created in each box.

5. Share your ideas and strategies with another group that used the same text then hang your work on the wall. Participants may walk the room looking at the posted work.

Activity 3, Part 2: Plan a Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy Aligned Lesson with UDL Supports

Plan a Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy Aligned Lesson with UDL Supports

1. Teacher leader pairs choose and read a sample grade level text.

2. Use the Lesson Planning Template to create a lesson using an instructional strategy and UDL supports.

3. Review the lesson using the EQuIP Rubric.

4. Answer the following discussion prompts:• What makes this an appropriately complex text for your grade level?• Why did you choose this strategy for this text?• What UDL supports might make this lesson more accessible to a wider

range of student learning needs?

5. Share your ideas and discussion questions with another pair that teach a similar grade level
