NYC Social Studies PD
- 1. New York ISSN Social Studies Workshop October 18, 2011
- 4. … teach a curriculum that only gets longer each passing day, not shorter… … teach about concepts, cultures, beliefs and events that can be seen as very disconnected from students ’ everyday lives… … prepare students to pass several high stakes assessments that determine whether they graduate high school or not…one of which covers TWO YEARS of material… … expose students to text that for many is too difficult to read and comprehend… As if the job wasn ’t tough enough, you need to…
- 5. We will not solve all of these problems today… … However… Our goal is to share and talk about strategies that are working to help prepare our students for these challenges and develop a love of learning social studies…
- 8. Why the Graduation Performance System (GPS)? No assessment system currently exists to measure global competence… AND traditional assessment methods are inadequate to capture the mix of knowledge, skills, and behaviors that are embedded in global competence. Goal : GPS will drive the continuous improvement of teacher instruction and student performance towards college readiness and global competence.
- 9. How do the Performance Outcomes Help? The performance outcomes define the enduring understandings, skills and dispositions that globally competent, college-ready students will be able to demonstrate at the commencement level. The development of the POs has been an ongoing, iterative process… … however… It ’s important to have consistency and reliability once they are in use.
- 10. What has changed in the Performance Outcomes? Still focusing on seven areas : Arts, ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies, World Languages & Global Leadership Aligned to the Common Core Standards Consistent Organization – All have been aligned to the four Domains of the Global Leadership POs Attempt to Simplify and Remove Redundancy – This is especially true in Science – went from two sets of POs to one A “remix” not a “rewrite – Attempted to reorganize the outcomes to give them a stronger global focus, while maintaining rigor and content relevance
Editor's Notes
- Use definition of global competence to produce a graduate profile.
- The GPS establishes a continues learning cycle within schools that produces college ready and globally competent graduates. The GPS enables teachers to collaboratively review students ’ work in relation to the assessment criteria, and to collectively learn from analyzing the data how to refine and improve their instructional practices. In turn, teachers use formative and summative assessment and discussion of students ’ progress to enable students to refine and improve their performance. The GPS provides a reliable and valid system for assessing the quality of student work in relation to commonly held criteria for success for teachers and school leaders within each ISSN school and across the multi-state network. As such, the GPS supports opportunities for network wide organizational learning in support of improved practice.
