Why Develop Comprehensive Units of

Study? Curriculum alignment is the most powerful

strategy for improving student performance NCLB-RTI State Standards and Measurement System Accountability for student performance –

Danielson model Curriculum articulation for teachers,

students, and parents Improve feedback and communication

What Feedback Did You Receive on Your Learning Today? John Hattie – 800+ Meta Analysis –A

synthesis of research studies on effective instructional practices

Effect Size 1.0 = an increase of one standard deviation on the outcome (improving student achievement)

One Standard Deviation = Two-Three Years Advancement of Student Learning, improving the learning rate by 50%

Effect Sizes When implementing a new program an

effect size of 1.0 would mean (on average) students receiving the treatment would exceed 84% of students not receiving the treatment

Curriculum-Assessment-Instruction1. What do we want each student to

learn?

2. How will we know when each student has learned?

3. How will we respond when a student has difficulty learning?

Interdisciplinary and Content TargetsOur goal is to begin the integration of the

CCSS literacy (reading and writing) targets into our non-English Language Arts courses.

Content Area Targets – Staff will reference their current curriculum maps and the targets that were established last year
