This document outlines the key conditions needed for successful implementation of curriculum mapping. It presents curriculum mapping implementation as requiring a combination of vision, skills, incentives, resources, and a plan/action plan. Without all of these elements working together, different outcomes will result such as confusion, anxiety, resistance, or frustration rather than sustainable change. The key questions provided aim to ensure these necessary conditions are in place to avoid potential roadblocks.

A powerful feature of online instruction is the ability to embed assessment throughout and capture data on how students are learning. The TAACCCT program calls on institutions to use such data to “continuously assess the effectiveness of their strategies in order to improve their program… and build evidence about effective practice.” In this interactive session, we will share the OLI approach to data driven continuous improvement. Together we will discuss strategies for using learning data to refine course materials by examining examples from our project. We will also present an overview of the learning data and tools available to co-development and Platform+ participants.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

McDonald’s Claim
Wikipedia reports that 8% of all Americans eat at McDonalds
every day. In the US, there are approximately 310 million
Americans and 12,800 McDonalds. The average McDonald’s
store can serve 1,500 people a day.
Do you believe the Wikipedia report to be true? Create
a mathematical argument to justify your position.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning
of others

• 12,800 * 1500 = 19,200,000
• 19,200,000/310M = 6.2%
- OR –
• 310M (total pop) * 8% (% that eat at McDs) = 24,800,000
(total served in a year)
• 24,800,000/12,800 (total # of McDs stores) = 1937.5 (avg
served each day)
• “can serve” 1,500 people/day --- stores would have to be
able to serve more than 1,500 people/day for there to be 8%
of all Americans eating at McDs every day

Key Points: SOURCE: Hart Research Associates (2010). Raising the Bar: Employers’ Views on College Learning in the Wake of the Economic Downturn Review the skills employers have identified as the most desirable skills. (Give personal examples)
Key Points: Increased Rigor in Text Complexity is one of the most prominent areas focused on adding rigor to the classroom experience for ALL students These are the levels of text ALL students need to have access to. For those struggling readers, there are ways to incorporate certain scaffolds, BUT – it is no longer appropriate to NEVER expose our struggling readers to complex text, we can no longer “just” give them simplified text Read this for background info and in order to better explain the chart and answer questions. (From MetaMetrics website) New research released August 15 on text complexity . The updates refer to the three-part model defined in Appendix A of the the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects, which combines the quantitative and qualitative measures of text complexity with reader and task considerations. The goal of the quantitative study was to provide information regarding the variety of ways text complexity can be measured quantitatively and to examine text complexity tools that are valid, transparent, user friendly, and reliable. We continue to update our tools to be aligned to the CCSS. Most recently, we updated the Lexile Map to include CCSS text exemplars and the new CCSS ranges. The Common Core Standards advocate a "staircase" of increasing text complexity, beginning in grade 2, so that students can develop their reading skills and apply them to more difficult texts. At the lowest grade in each band, students focus on reading texts within that text complexity band. In the subsequent grade or grades within a band, students must "stretch" to read a certain proportion of texts from the next higher text complexity band. This pattern repeats itself throughout the grades so that students can both build on earlier literacy gains and challenge themselves with texts at a higher complexity level. Lexile measures and the Lexile ranges above help to determine what text is appropriate for each grade band and what should be considered "stretch" text. The Common Core Standards devote as much attention to the text complexity of what students are reading as it does to how students read. As students advance through the grades, they must both develop their comprehension skills and apply them to increasingly complex texts. The proportion of texts that students read each year should come from a particular text complexity grade band. Students must also show a steadily increasing ability to discern more from and make fuller use of text.
Key Points: It is easy to see the difference between the Lexile reading levels of the majority of our High School students in comparison to those required outside of our classrooms.
Key Points: Explain that two of the inclusive Reading and Writing Anchor Standards directly address textual evidence. “ The shift toward text-based answers requires student to become more adept at drawing evidence from the text and explaining that evidence orally and in writing. Teachers should make sure that classroom experiences stay deeply connected to the text and that students develop habits for making evidentiary arguments based on the text. Teachers should ensure students develop habits of reading closely and backing up their claims with text-based answers, in class discussion and writing, to assess their comprehension of text. Here are two CCSS Anchor Standards which set expectations for students to cite specific evidence from literary and informational texts to support their inferences, conclusions, analyses, reflections, and research. ”

We have been talking with Anna about how to implement successfully. To do this we must look through the lens of sustainable. In order for sustainable change to occur, we must address all five key elements including vision, skill building, incentives, resources and a plan to get there. Reading 1 st cost 1 billion after 3 years found we haven't ’ moved the needle as a country. Nothing that we had done was truly sustainable. The reason for that is the program had become just that, a program. Death by paper cut. It did not get integrated into the culture of the school organization. We can not let that happen again. We must think about all of the elements of sustainable change as we move forward. We’ve already talked a bit vision, the most important thing to remember is it’s not about passing a test. The end goal is college and career readiness. Skills we can not assume the teachers have the skills they need. We must begin developing the new skills. New materials won’t solve the problem. Incentives are important. Incentives don’t have to be about money. They can be about skill development. We’ll talk about this more later but all the programs that we will look at provide continuing education credit. That is a real incentive for the practitioner. Resources. As we speak new resources are being developed. Be cautious of resources. There are publishers out there that are putting shinny stickers on materials that read common core aligned. If were created last week yes they may be. But new priorities for assessment and the new lexil ranges were just released a few months back. So those materials will not be properly aligned. The plan. You must have one. Enough said.
