SBI+Class+2016

=__ Standards Based Instruction at BHS __=

__**Monday, July 25**__
Where do we start... We are the **WHO**

Goals for the end of the class. 1. Come to a common understanding of **WHY** we are doing SBI 2. Begin to gather resources aimed at the **HOW** making the transition a positive one for teachers and students 3. Create a usable unit for the ninth grade curriculum within your content areas, the **WHAT.** 4. Plan a future meeting at the end of the semester to reflect on how it worked, the **WHEN and WHERE.**

As a teacher, I know the 'educational value' of a good movie just like the rest of you. :)

Watch the short film //**[|Who Moved My Cheese]**//

Discuss how this might be used to explain the classroom and how Standards Based Instruction might be the best way to find the 'cheese.'

Look at the handout 4 common roadblocks to SBI. Discuss whether or not you agree or disagree with the list. Now look at the last line on the graphic. HOW TO OVERCOME THEM? Any ideas?

How might we begin to create a graphic like the one below to help students understand what SBI means.





Lunch! :)

After Lunch begin to brainstorm the HOW in your content areas. 1. A List of HOW to make the transition a positive one for students and teachers 2. WHAT do we need to make that happen?

Look at the standards within you content area.
 * [|CDE Content Standards]**
 * Choose the skills that your unit plan will address and begin to create the unit on the plan below.**


 * Make a plan for tomorrow (WORK DAY)**

__**Tuesday, July 26**__

 * Ask teachers who created CASS lessons for Language Arts (Martin and Tanner to explain what they did and how it might be used in the implementation of SBI.**


 * Review Again...WHY are we doing this?**
 * Consider the resource [|Never Work Harder Than Your Students by Robyn R. Jackson]**
 * Possibly the book could be a book study this fall?**

"Would you tell me please, which way I should go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat. "I don't much care where-" said Alice. "Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat. Lewis Carroll - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland **This morning you will work within your content areas on a specific unit plan including at least five lesson plans. Consider where you think the students should be going and where you want them to end up at the end of the unit as you create your lessons. Check Out the Resources below for some ideas on lessons and rubrics.** **Lunch: :)** **After Lunch we will work in our content until 2:30 and then come back to share "What Worked and What Didn't" So Far.**  **Brainstorm a List on the Board for Future Reference (Somebody take a picture as a record.)**

__**Wednesday, July 27**__ We began to Look at the **HOW** now lets discuss practical applications of the HOW, the gradebook.






 * Discuss the Distict Worksheet Moving from SBI to a Traditional Grade**
 * Agree/Disagree/ Word Changes?**
 * (Chris wants to have this as we move forward)**


 * Now go back into your content areas and complete your unit. If there are resources that you lack please list them on your 'plan.'**


 * Lunch: :)**


 * Finish up your unit. Make a copy and include it with a paragraph 'reflection' of the learning that took place in this class. (You need this for the credit. I will bring it up to the district)**


 * At 2:30 we will meet to discuss next steps...**
 * We are the WHO**
 * We addressed the WHY**
 * We planned for the WHAT**
 * Now we need to decide the WHEN and WHERE to meet after we try this to see if it worked. :)**
