1Teaching Standards with Productivity ToolsWhen Planning ActivitiesPhase 1: Determine Relative AdvantagePhase 2: Decide Objectives and AssessmentsPhase 3: Design Integration StrategiesPhase 4: Prepare Instructional EnvironmentPhase 5: Evaluate & Revising Integrations strategiesRationale for Standards teachers know what is to be taught children know what is to be learned parents and the public can determine how well the concepts are being learned guide efforts to measure student achievement  promote educational equity for all state and nationwide(from SC Department of Education Parent Guides to Standards)2Wordy Rationale Here are seven key reasons parents should be in the know about the curriculum standards:1. Standards set clear, high expectations for student achievement. Standards tell what students need to do in order to progress through school on grade level.2. Standards guide efforts to measure student achievement. Results of tests (PACT) on grade-level curriculum standards show if students have learned and teachers have taught for mastery.3. Standards promote educational equity for all. Instruction in every school in the state will be based on the same curriculum standards.4. Standards help parents determine if children in South Carolina are being taught the same subject content as children across the nation. 5. Standards inform parents about the academic expectations for their child. Standards give parents more specific information for helping their child at home. 6. Standards enable parents to participate more actively in parent/teacher conferences. Parents are able to have conversations with teachers about student progress in specific areas and understand more completely the progress of their child.7. Standards help parents see how the current grade level expectations are related to successive years’ expectations. Parents are able to see how their child’s knowledge is growing from one year to the next.State Standards K-12 Arranged by subject area Helpful to be familiar with the standards in other grades and subject areas http://www.myscschools.com/offices/cso/ How Inspiration Meets SC StandardsNational Standards NETS-T NETS-S NETS-A National specialty standards (CEC, subject areas)3When Planning ActivitiesPhase 1: Determine Relative AdvantagePhase 2: Decide Objectives and AssessmentsPhase 3: Design Integration StrategiesPhase 4: Prepare Instructional EnvironmentPhase 5: Evaluate & Revising Integrations strategiesTeaching Computer SkillsMethods of teaching computer skills in the context of subject area content: Experts within groups Group collaboration to teach everyone Gradual introduction to the software over time and with multiple activities Using older students as tutors/ helpers Parent volunteers Job AidsTechnology Integration Example:Money Management with Spreadsheets Phase 1: Relative advantage Phase 2: Objectives and Assessments Phase 3: Integration Strategies Phase 4: Instructional Environment Phase 5: Evaluating and RevisingM.
