But we have to do it ALL!
Creating a Pacing Guide That Works
Operational Definitions• Big Ideas-large networks of
interrelated concepts• Standards-the general statements
of what students need to know & be able to do
• Indicators-student learning expectations, benchmarks, learning outcomes, proficiencies, subskills, substandards, etc.
• Power Standards-those standards & indicators that are critical for student success; once mastered, these give a student the ability to use reasoning & thinking skills to learn & understand other curriculum objectives
The Old Model
State Standards
District Curriculum
Frantic Coverage of Every Test Objective
The New Model—From Coverage to FOCUS
StateStandards
PotentialCurriculum & Test Objectives
FOCUSEDCurriculum & Assessments
Power Standards Identification Criteria• Endurance-Will this standard
or indicator provide students with knowledge and skills that will be of value beyond a single test date?
• Leverage-Will this provide knowledge and skills that will be of value in multiple disciplines?
• Readiness for the next level of learning-Will this provide students with essential knowledge and skills that are necessary for success in the next grade level of instruction?
“School, Life, & the State Test”What do your students need
for success—in school (this year, next year, and so on), in life, and on your state tests?
-Larry Ainsworth, 2003
Pacing Guide Committee Goals
• To identify the BIG ideas within each content area by grade level (CLUSTERING)
• To map & pace SLEs related to each BIG idea (ORDERING)
• To unwrap primary SLEs by creating a list of detailed objectives (DETAILING)
in order to provide a collaborative pacing guide as an option for use by those AFSEC districts/schools choosing to do so
What worked? What didn’t?
ACTIVITY (15 minutes)
StrandI. BIG Idea
A. Primary SLEs (within this BIG Idea, these are the focus)B. Related SLEs (these SLEs can easily be integrated into this BIG idea)
II. BIG IdeaA. Primary SLEs (within this BIG Idea, these are the focus)B. Related SLEs (these SLEs can easily be integrated into this BIG idea)
Step-by-Step• Identify the BIG ideas• Identify Power Standards (SLEs)
by highlighting those in yellow• Cut SLEs apart, glue to post-it note,
& organize around BIG ideas– Primary SLE should be glued to
yellow post-it– Related SLE should be glued to
alternate colored post-it• Pace by 9 weeks according to
meaningful & developmental sequence
• Unwrap Primary SLEs by creating a detailed list of objectives for each (later date)
Next Steps…
• Using your teacher resource materials, Internet sources, trade books, picture books, textbooks, etc., MATCH the objectives to your materials
