Learning

We will align expected outcomes, assessment, teaching, learning and reflection on practice in order to support our mission and student learning objectives.

List of Results

1.     The AISC curricular review process is integrating the student learning objectives and aligning assessment practices across disciplines PK-12.
     The AISC student learning objectives are fully integrated into the PK-12 curriculum through planning, assessment and reflection and are verified using the curriculum review process.

are integrated into the curricular review process.  Assessment and reflection practices within each discipline is clearly aligned Prek-12. (chris) 

Integrating the student learning objectives is a great idea, but it is unclear how to align assessment practices.  Make it clearer.  Also – on all documents we should make it PK-12.

Standards and assessment processes are being continuously aligned PK-12 with AISC’s core values, mission and the student learning objectives.

(the curriculum review cycle becomes the means)

• SLO in horizontal and vertical articulation and included in the Atlas map

2.     AISC has identified research-based inclusive strategies and has a plan for staff training in place to meet the needs of all students. (AISC has a common understanding of inclusion and has identified research-based strategies that support teachers in differentiating instruction for all students.

• ear long PD plan to identify learning needs and strategies
• Develop the common understanding

·        AISC has identified research-based inclusive strategies and has a plan for staff training in place to meet the needs of all students- this is a means.
for presentation cover personalized learning (differentiation)

·        What is meant by this.  The team is not sure what is meant by this. 

·        What are we training the staff to do and by whom?

·        This is a plan to plan.

·        Do not limit this to ELLs, but to all learners.

AISC has identified high leverage differentiation strategies and staff are expanding their capacity to use these strategies to meet the needs of all students in achieving the student learning objectives.

3.     AISC has identified a philosophy and designed a service learning structure that empowers students to serve their local and global communities.

Good – keep going on this. Consider prototyping in your means. 

·        Early adopter- roll it over time (Megan is a resource for the plan here)

4.     AISC has inclusive strategies and structures in place to help each learner reach his/her potential.

      AISC uses differentiated instructional strategies and structures to help all learners reach his/her potential.

should we stick with inclusive because we building a common understanding of this term? or should we not use any clarifying word and just say "AISC staff is using strategies..." (chris)

·        Is the popular understanding of inclusion too defining? Is personalized or differentiated, in fact, too defining.

·        Change inclusive to personalized or differentiated

5.     AISC has a strong service learning structure where students are engaged and immersed in service opportunities building authentic local connections and greater global understanding.

·        Great!

AISC is capable of providing anytime, anywhere access to essential learning tools and information all teachers and students

6.     Highly effective strategies have been identified and a plan to develop teacher capacity has been established** clarify

AISC has a common understanding of inclusion and has identified research-based strategies that support teachers in differentiating instruction for all students.

AISC has a common understanding of inquiry and has provided the necessary opportunities to develop teacher expertise in inquiry-based instruction.

·        Unclear

·        It is a plan to plan the way it is currently written

·        AISC has identified high leverage inquiry strategies and staff are expanding their capacity to use these strategies to meet the needs of all students in achieving the student learning objectives.

Parallels differentiation

7.     AISC embraces and fosters a culture that recognizes the unique educational journey of each learner. Word more strongly
        AISC embraces and fosters an inclusive culture where differentiated instruction allows each student to achieve his/her potential.

·        This is unclear – the team is not sure what this means.

·        Is this a result of some of the results before?  You do not use “unique educational journey” in any of the other results.

(culmination of thread for differentiation and inquiry?)

8.     AISC has inquiry-based strategies that are integrated into instructional practice in order to foster a sense of curiosity and inspire action in the classroom and beyond.

·        What is “sense of wonder”?  Cultivate ? Do we always want to create it or are there times we keep it growing? (is the word choice appropriate for all audiences? Are there words from the mission like curiosity be used)

·        Inquiry strategies are being integrated into instructional practice PK-12 in order to cultivate curiosity and ensure all students achieve the student learning objectives.

9.     AISC has established a culture of service where students are intrinsically motivated to transfer their academic knowledge to create real life situations that improve the lives of others.

·        Good

110.      A tech result will be created here

111. Students are motivated to be confident, creative learners who consistently direct their own learning, through questioning and discovery, as they seek understanding of the world around them.

·        1 – it would take more than a year to achieve this.

·        Could student leadership be included (not just understanding)

·        Is this covered through the measurement rubrics?

·        After some discussion, the team understood that this was something that would take many years to accomplish.

Suggestion:

The above is the culmination of all that comes before it. I’d drop it...the means will be difficult as it is really the means from the previous results.

The planning team has requested that you create a result on reflection by students.-put this bluntly in the means

Wonder if reflection can be integrated with inquiry by calling it out in that means or putting it strongly in the means for inquiry.
