Louisiana Student Standards: Review Process

Each content subcommittee member spent many hours reviewing public comment, drafting the standards, meeting with other committee members to discuss their work, meeting with educators in the field to solicit feedback, and revising their work. • Each committee member spent an average of 40 hours attending review meetings. • Each committee member spent an average of 50 hours independently reviewing

public comment, preparing drafts of standards, and researching and reviewing outside materials.

• The committee chairs spent an average of 150 hours reviewing materials,

preparing for meetings, and preparing standards and summaries for committees. • Collectively to date, committee members have spent over 9,000 hours developing

the new Louisiana Student Standards.

Louisiana Student Standards

• On February 2, the Standards Review Committee voted to approve the proposed Louisiana Student Standards for English language arts and mathematics.

• On March 4, BESE voted to approve the new Louisiana Student Standards.

• The new Louisiana Student Standards • provide developmentally appropriate content for all grades or courses while

maintaining high expectations; • allow teachers the freedom to determine the most appropriate method of

instruction; • provide clarity and coherence across the grades.

Dig into the Standards

Sit by grade band: • K-2 ELA • 3-5 ELA • 6-8 ELA • 9-12 ELA 1) Go to the area designated for the grade band. 2) Divide into grade-level groups and pair with another person in your grade level. 3) Printed materials provided for each grade-level group:

• Enhanced Crosswalk documents (Document) • Using the ELA Enhanced Crosswalks. (Handout)

4) Record your reflections in writing on your suggestion sheet. 5) Follow your grade-band facilitator’s instructions for grade-band discussions.

PLEASE LEAVE YOUR CROSSWALK DOCUMENT WHEN ARE FINISHED.

Louisiana Student Standards - ELA

Goal for English Language Arts Students in Louisiana are ready for college or a career if they can read, understand, and express their understanding of complex, grade-level texts. This means students should be able to pick up any text, such as a picture book, newspaper article, or painting, understand what the text means, and be able to speak or write about the ideas they learned or challenge from the text and why. The standards represent the steps students must take along the way to be able to meet this goal.

Standards Review • Louisiana educators on the Standards Review Committees reviewed all 854 ELA

standards for grades K-12 and rewrote 18% of those standards. • In grades K-2 ELA, Louisiana educators rewrote 11% of the standards. • In grades 3-12 ELA, Louisiana educators rewrote 20% of the standards. • Louisiana educators created a new set of standards that ensure there are high

expectations, allow teachers more freedom for how to teach, and build connections between grades so that students have a smooth transition from one grade to the next and into college or a career.

11

Louisiana Student Standards - ELA

The ELA Louisiana Student Standards are based in three primary shifts. The shifts are:

• Practice with complex and varied text and its academic language. • Writing and speaking should connect to and support the reading of text. • The goal is comprehension of text, not mastery of a skill or strategy.

Louisiana Student Standards - ELA

FOCUS: Louisiana’s new standards allow teachers more freedom in how to teach the skills.

EXAMPLE: High School Reading Standard • Analyze multiple interpretations of a story, drama, or poem (e.g., recorded or live

production of a play or recorded novel or poetry), evaluating how each version interprets the source text. (Include at least one play by Shakespeare and one play by an American dramatist.)

IMPLICATION: This will require that teachers deeply understand the standards and the quality of texts necessary.

Louisiana Student Standards - ELA

FOCUS: Louisiana’s new standards are developmentally appropriate while maintaining high expectations for students.

EXAMPLE: High School Writing Standard • Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative sources, using advanced

searches effectively; assess the strengths and limitations of each source in terms of the task, purpose, and audience; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and overreliance on any one source and following a standard format for citation.

IMPLICATION: This will require that teachers understand how these changes will impact their instructional materials for the research process. Teachers may need to revise current materials or select additional materials to address the new expectations.

Louisiana Student Standards - ELA

FOCUS: Louisiana’s new standards build across grade levels to ensure a smooth transition for students from one grade to the next and into college or a career.

IMPLICATION: This will require that teachers deeply understand the changes in the standards and how that will impact their instructional materials. Teachers may need to revise current materials or select additional materials to address the new expectations.

Dive Deeper into the Standards

Each standard number is consistent across the grades. 1. Align the two standards across the grades. 2. Chart from Kindergarten-12 Grades. 3. What is the common thread in that standard? 4. How do the students’ knowledge and skills increase with that skill? 5. What do you notice about these two standards? 6. What is the implication for professional development?

Chart your answers.

Louisiana Student Standards: Academic Support Plan

The new standards call for changes in what teachers teach. These changes can be addressed with sensible adjustments to curriculum, training, and testing, rather than a radical overhaul. In order for the Louisiana Student Standards to take effect, school systems, schools and the Department of Education must work together to implement a plan to make these sensible changes. These changes will include a focus on: • Curriculum and resources • Teacher training and professional development • State and local assessments

Louisiana Student Standards: Academic Support Plan

The ELA Guidebooks 2.0 are classroom-ready daily lessons made by teachers for teachers to ensure all students meet the ELA goal. This work began in spring 2013 and teachers have continued to revise and improve upon the original foundation to provide teachers across the state with an ELA curriculum for whole-class instruction.
