Common Core and Curricula Online

Marcia TorgrudeTIE Education Specialist

Welcome

• Introductions• Your name• What you teach• Tell about your experiences last year with

the Common Core State Standards

Agenda

• Math Warm up Activity• Some ideas to think about:– K-12 Math Common Core Blueprint – Model of Final Blueprint– myOER.org Math Resources– How the resources are selected– Search for your math resources– Could this be an option for Douglas 6-12 math?

• Questions to discuss for the afternoon

Fruit Boxes

• Work on the task individually first - everyone needs processing time

• Work in groups of 2-3 to discuss what you were thinking to solve the problems.

• Large group Discussion• What was the mathematical purpose of this task?• What standards of mathematical practice were

used during this task?

Outcomes

• Experience the curation process• Build understanding of blueprints• Build myOER.org understanding• Become familiar with the resource

scoring rubrics• Gather resources from myOER to help

address the CCSS

Curation Background

What does it mean to curate?

Curation Background

Curation Background

Module Four: The focus of the module is to learn about the year-long instructional road map/blueprint to implement Common Core State Standards that a Curriculum Curation Team developed in July. Participants will also navigate and analyze the curated resources that accompany the road map. Participants will walk away with a tool and process to develop more resources aligned to Common Core.

Curation Background: Teams

• ELA – 40 K-12 teachers

• Math – 40 K-12 teachers

• Participants were divided into four grade level groups

• Selection of teachers was statewide

Curation Background: Timeline• July: Curation teams met one week for ELA and one week

for Math to curate approximately 2,500 resources.• Before the end of October: Teams will curate a minimum

of 10 resources each and field test three resources.• October-November: Teams will meet for two days to

review blueprint and provide additional comments, align curated resources within myOER to CCSS—focusing primarily on Thinkfinity resources. By November more than 800 additional resources will be curated.

• June: Teams will provide final comments to blueprint, continue to align resources to CCSS, continue to curate resources, explore the Lesson Plan Builder within myOER.

Curation Background

• Where do we PUT the curated resources? What to do with resources once we find them?

• Our answer: myOER—a site that houses resources and lessons.

• What’s an OER? Open Education(al) Resource

Blueprint Rationale

• Why do educators need a blueprint?

– State’s response to questions from teachers

– An effort to provide the “when and what”

– Meant to be a helpful tool rather than a regulatory rule

What’s a Blueprint?

• A blueprint sample helps educators identify what CCSS to teach and when to teach them.

• The term blueprint has several synonyms including the following:– Road map– Scope and sequence– Curriculum map

Blueprints

http://sdccteachers.k12.sd.us/

Blueprint Next Steps

• Make the blueprint truly reflective of the work SD educators have already completed.

• Connect the blueprint, disaggregated standards AND the myOER site.

• Provide links to strong myOER lessons that address each unit and the related CCSS.

Blueprints

After seeing the direction the Curation Project is taking regarding the blueprint:

• Do you use some form of a blueprint? • How would you use the blueprint tool?

Blueprint to myOER

• Your standards/blueprint should drive the content coming from myOER.

When What What What What/How

myOER

• Go to myOER and create an account• Guided exploration of the site

myOER

• Questions to consider–What are the benefits of each search?–What is the relationship of myOER to the

blueprint?– Importance of SD Disaggregated Standards?–How will I recognize strong resources?

Curation Rubrics• The scoring process

Rubric Practice

High School - Law of CosinesMiddle School – Golden Ratio

• Score individually• Share consensus scores and discuss

1. Bottom of lesson2. Bottom of resource

Locate resources you might find useful based on the lessons you will be teaching in the upcoming weeks

Save at least 4-5 resources to your Locker

Portal Play – Sharing

• Think, Pair, Share: Find a person or group of your grade level/content area and share a lesson you added to your locker that also may be beneficial to them.

• Two ways to share:1. Email, etc.

2. Advanced Search – type in the title of your partner’s lesson – click on “Search” – you don’t need to add any other information

Curriculum Development

Livebinder as your curriculum builderhttp://livebinders.com• Set up subject as one livebinder• Set up tabs for Instructional Focuses• Add links to lessons to use throughout that

Instructional Focus• Give students link to find their lessons electronically

or develop a google site for the class. • Your thoughts?

Closure

• Closing Activity and thoughts for the afternoon:– How will you use the myOER site to enhance your classroom

instruction?– What might you suggest to your district administration to help

you and your peers find the needed time in order to continue your myOER work?

– Might you consider using the myOER resources to build your own curriculum? Or do you believe it is important to purchase a curriculum?

– What role could Livebinder play?– Would Douglas MS/HS like to be the model school for online

curriculum?
