This document discusses the connectivity paradigm for cumulative risk assessment and introduces the concept of the exposome.
In 3 sentences: The document outlines how cumulative risk assessment can benefit from considering how environmental exposures are connected within biological systems. It defines the exposome as the totality of all exposures from conception onward, including chemicals, biological factors and psychological stressors. The exposome concept emphasizes taking an unbiased approach to investigating links between exposures and health outcomes.
Here are the basics of roleplaying emotes, vocabulary, and expressions:
- Emotes are actions your character takes that bring the roleplay to life beyond just text (e.g. *smiles*, *sighs heavily*, *draws sword*). They help others visualize and get into character.
- Developing your character includes creating a backstory, personality, and details about their appearance, skills, beliefs. This gives them depth and realism.
- Using descriptive and era-appropriate vocabulary immerses others in the setting. For a medieval RP, say armor instead of clothes.
- Common RP expressions include *OOC* for out-of-character comments and *IC* to indicate returning
The document provides a summary of the evaluation of EU public procurement directives. It finds that the directives are effective in increasing transparency and competition, resulting in estimated savings of 2.1-4% of contract values. However, cross-border procurement remains low and there are differences in implementation among member states. The directives are also found to be relevant, efficient and consistent with other EU policies, but with room for improvement regarding costs and unintended consequences. Overall, the directives are seen to provide EU added value by facilitating the single market, though greater coordination is still needed due to implementation differences.

The document discusses the Common Core State Standards adopted in Illinois in 2010 and expected to be integrated into the curriculum by 2013. It outlines one of the standards regarding acquiring and using general academic and domain-specific vocabulary for reading, writing, speaking, and listening at the college and career readiness level. The document also defines key terms related to differentiated instruction such as a student's readiness, interests, and learning style preferences.
The document discusses differentiating instruction based on student learning profiles. Teachers collect data on student preferences like learning styles and intelligence preferences. When differentiating for learning profile, teachers vary topics, activities, and products. The goal is for students to have choice in how they demonstrate their understanding as long as they meet the learning goals. Teachers should balance opportunities for students to work in preferred and non-preferred ways.
The session agenda covered differentiating instruction by student interest. Teachers were asked to consider why they should care about student interests, and how discovering interests can help engage students in learning. Various tools for learning student interests were presented, including surveys, pie charts, and ranking activities. The discussion explained how to incorporate student interests into lessons through entry points and RAFT strategies. Teachers then practiced applying RAFT to sample lessons to better engage students based on their interests.

The document discusses formative assessment and seven student-centered strategies for formative assessment. Formative assessment is an ongoing process used during instruction to provide feedback to teachers and students to guide and improve learning. It is not an instrument, event, or final exam. The seven strategies for formative assessment are: 1) providing a clear learning target, 2) using examples of strong and weak work, 3) offering descriptive feedback, 4) teaching self-assessment and goal setting, 5) focusing lessons on one target at a time, 6) teaching focused revision, and 7) engaging students in self-reflection to track learning.
This document discusses differentiated instruction, which is a systematic approach to teaching students with different abilities and needs. It compares fixed and growth mindsets, explaining that a growth mindset believes success comes from effort rather than innate ability. The document defines differentiated instruction and explains its key principles, including creating a supportive learning environment, using quality curriculum and assessments to inform teaching, and responding to student variance in readiness, interest, and learning profiles. Teachers provide testimonials about how differentiated instruction has helped engage and challenge students of varying abilities.
This document provides an overview of disciplinary literacy and the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for a literacy team. It defines disciplinary literacy as merging content knowledge with reading, writing, speaking, and problem solving skills. The CCSS are a set of standards to prepare students for college and careers through literacy in different subjects. The relationship between disciplinary literacy and the CCSS is that the standards require skills like thinking critically and using evidence that are important to different disciplines. The document explains how the CCSS are structured around anchor standards and progressions from kindergarten through 12th grade.
This document provides guidance for unpacking and aligning writing instruction to the Common Core State Standards anchor writing standards. Participants are instructed to unpack writing anchor standards 1 and 2 using a 5 step protocol. They then review writing samples from the CCSS appendix and discuss gaps between current assignments and the sample work. Groups discuss how writing is currently incorporated in their disciplines and adjustments that could better align assignments to the standards. Participants are asked to consider a small adjustment they could make to a future lesson, unit or assessment to strengthen alignment with the anchor writing standards.

This document provides an agenda for a training session on how to implement close reading strategies. It will cover why close reading is important, how to model close reading, how to write text-dependent questions, and providing examples for different content areas. Attendees will learn that close reading involves carefully re-reading short texts with a specific purpose in mind. It helps students engage with and understand what texts explicitly say as well as make inferences. The training will provide guidance on selecting appropriate texts and crafting text-dependent questions to facilitate close analysis of key passages.
This document discusses enduring understandings (EUs), essential outcomes (EOs), and learning targets (LTs). It defines each term and provides examples. EUs are full sentence generalizations that capture big ideas. EOs include the building blocks, knowledge, and skills needed to achieve the EU. LTs specify what students will know and be able to do by the end of a lesson. The document provides guidance on creating EUs, EOs, and formatting them in a learning management system. Strong and poor examples of each are presented to illustrate the concepts.
This document provides an overview of a workshop to train participants on evaluating assessment quality using four standards: 1) Does the assessment method reflect the desired outcome, 2) Does the assessment use high-quality items, 3) Does the assessment provide enough evidence of student achievement, and 4) Does the assessment avoid bias. The workshop objectives are to apply these standards to create or revise an assessment. Guidelines are provided for different item types to help create high-quality assessments.
This document provides an overview of performance assessments and rubrics. It defines a performance assessment as the observation and evaluation of a skill or product. The document outlines the key steps to creating a performance assessment, including identifying the performance to be evaluated, establishing criteria in a rubric, and developing assessment tasks. It also examines the traits of high-quality rubrics, such as having clear content and criteria that are logically categorized into distinct levels of performance. Common rubric errors like emphasizing quantity over quality or including non-essential elements are also discussed.
This document provides an introduction to the Common Core State Standards for literacy. It outlines the session objectives which are to explain how the CCSS are structured, how they support disciplinary literacy, and how to identify where instructional activities fall in relation to the CCSS progression. It then defines the CCSS, explains why they are important, and discusses how they relate to disciplinary literacy. The document guides participants through unpacking and analyzing sample CCSS standards and determining how to adjust activities to meet grade level expectations. It concludes by outlining next steps to begin implementing the standards.
This document provides guidance on operations used in proofs. It instructs the reader to first determine if the angles or segments in the proof are larger or smaller than those given, and then to use addition/multiplication if larger or subtraction/division if smaller. It gives examples of diagrams where addition/multiplication or subtraction/division would be used and advises the reader to look for bisectors or midpoints when using multiplication/addition or division/subtraction respectively.
This document outlines a protocol for unpacking standards into learning targets to improve common assessments. It explains how to analyze standards by underlining verbs, highlighting nouns, circling contexts, and identifying the type of learning target. Teachers will learn how to determine the depth of knowledge ceiling for each target and match assessment item types to target rigor. Sample essential outcomes are unpacked using the protocol steps. Guidelines are provided for constructing response questions that clearly communicate expectations and assessments are written for a sample standard.
1) Teachers can create assessments in Mastery Manager, including naming the assessment, creating the answer key, and generating and printing forms for students to complete.
2) Completed forms are scanned back into the system, and teachers can generate reports to view student scores and item analysis.
3) Student scores can be exported from Mastery Manager to the school's gradebook system, Infinite Campus.
This document provides instructions for creating, printing, scanning, and viewing scores for a multiple-choice assessment in Mastery Manager. It outlines the following steps: creating an assessment and answer key; creating and printing answer forms; scanning completed forms; generating score reports; and conventions for naming exams and rubrics in the system. The key functions covered are creating and managing assessments, forms, and reports in Mastery Manager.
This document discusses strategies for using rubrics to facilitate formative assessment strategies. It provides examples of how rubrics can be used to:
1) Model strong and weak examples of student work to clarify learning targets (Strategy 2).
2) Provide descriptive feedback to students on their progress toward meeting learning targets (Strategy 3).
3) Guide students in focused revision of their work by identifying specific areas of weakness and directing practice activities (Strategy 6).
Attendees are invited to discuss how they have implemented these strategies using rubrics and how rubrics could be adapted for different content areas.

9. Three ways to differentiate based
on the student.
• Readiness – The current knowledge, understanding
and skill level a student has related to a particular
sequence of learning.
• Learning Profile – A students preferred mode of
learning.
• Interest – What a student enjoys learning about,
thinking about and doing.
10. Differentiating Instruction by Interest
Why should teachers care what
students are interested in?
Students who are interested in
the learning process likely learn
more and faster.
11. We differentiate for INTEREST when we:
• Provide materials to encourage further
exploration of topics of interest.
• Use student questions and topics to guide
lectures, materials selection, examples,
illustrations
• Encourage students to design and participate
in the design of some tasks
• Vary the topics and activities we use related to
unit content
12. When Should I Differentiate for
Student Interest?
• Differentiate for interest when it makes sense
to do so. Not all aspects of the curriculum are
suited to differentiation for interest.
–Beginning of year
–Beginning of a unit
