Curriculum & Instruc8on Understanding the Standards 2
Your child s experiences in school today are probably very different than what you experienced as a student. The job market is changing The Bureau of Labor Sta8s8cs predicts there will be nearly 140,000 brand new posi8ons created before 2022 3
School is changing to meet the demands of today s and tomorrow s work environment Language Arts Florida Standards (LAFS) and Mathema8cs Florida Standards (MAFS) were both approved by the Florida Board of Educa8on on February 18, 2014 Our goal is to prepare students for college and career. 4
11/17/16 What does "college & career readiness mean? New Standards are a Step Forward Consistent high expecta8ons What s considered 3rd grade work in one district now matches what is considered appropriate for 3rd graders in all districts. Consistent content being taught across the district, state, and country Most states have adopted CCSS, the star8ng point from which Florida standards evolved 5
Florida Standards Have Changed the Way We Teach and Learn Teachers Increase rigor of content Serve as a facilitator of learning for all students Guide student practice, providing support when needed, as students gain independence with tasks 11 Florida Standards Have Changed the Way We Teach and Learn Teachers Develop a student-centered environment with many opportunities for peer collaboration Find new ways of teaching critical thinking skills 12 6
Florida Standards Have Changed the Way We Teach and Learn Students Are accountable for their own learning Use evidence to support their ideas Think in a more conceptual, analytical and global manner 13 Florida Standards Have Changed the Way We Teach and Learn Students Utilize higher-order, critical thinking skills Shift from memorization of terms to a deep understanding of meaning Transfer skills to new experiences 14 7
Literacy Strands Grades K-12 Grades K-5 Grades 6-12 Reading Literature Founda8onal Skills Literacy in History/Social Studies Reading Informa8onal Text Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects Speaking & Listening Language Wri8ng Shi^: Increased access and exposure to content-rich nonficaon text 50/50 in elementary school 70/30 by the 8me they are in high school 8
Shi^: Using Informa8on from the Text to Support Responses Reading, wri8ng, speaking & listening with evidence grounded in the text Students must use more than their background knowledge and experiences to respond to text. They must use informa8on from the text to support their stance, ci8ng evidence to make a point. Shi^: Regular prac8ce with complex text and academic language Close reading of complex texts 9
Academic Vocabulary Tier 1 words heard in everyday conversa8on Tier 2 words found in books but not commonly heard in conversa8on (endearing, sinister) Tier 3 words - academic vocabulary words that are specific to content areas such as perimeter and photosynthesis Florida Standards Sample ELA Ques8on LAFS. 6.RI.2.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figura8ve, connota8ve and technical meanings. 10
Standards for Mathema8cal Prac8ce 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them: Students ask themselves Does this make sense? They understand different ways to solve the same problem. Standards for Mathema8cal Prac8ce 2. Reason abstractly and quanataavely: Students understand numbers and quan88es more than just how to compute them. 3. Construct viable arguments and criaque the arguments of others: Students compare two arguments and determine if the logic makes sense or if the reasoning is flawed. 11
Standards for Mathema8cal Prac8ce 4. Model with mathemaacs: Students solve problems in everyday life. In each of the first three pools, decide what frac8on of the square s area is blue for the water and what frac8on is white for the border. What palerns do you see? What frac8ons will occur in the next two rows of the table? How do you know that your answers are correct? Standards for Mathema8cal Prac8ce 5. Use appropriate tools strategically: Students are familiar with the tools (including technology) that are available to them and make choices about the best selec8on for the problem. 12
Standards for Mathema8cal Prac8ce 6. AQend to precision: They communicate precisely to others. They calculate accurately and use the appropriate units of measure. Standards for Mathema8cal Prac8ce 7. Look for and make use of structure: Students look closely for palerns and structures. Young children may sort shapes according to the number of sides that they have. 13
Standards for Mathema8cal Prac8ce 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning: For example, when dividing 25 by 11 students would realize that they are repea8ng the same calcula8ons over and over and conclude they have a repea8ng decimal. Procedural vs. Conceptual Knowledge Procedural Knowledge: Knowledge of rules, algorithms, and procedures. (Rote Learning) Conceptual Knowledge: Knowledge rich in rela8onships and understanding. To see the reasoning and to be able to jus8fy. When we teach students the procedures too early, they don t have a chance to learn conceptually. 14
Florida Standards Sample Math Ques8on MAFS.6.EE.1.4: Identify when two expressions are equivalent. Scope and Sequence Measurement Topic Plan Addi8onal Resource Document Let s look at a sample. 15
