The document details the creation and implementation of standards-based bulletin boards that showcase student work in accordance with educational standards set by the Florida Department of Education and the National Center on Education and the Economy. It emphasizes the importance of performance tasks, grading rubrics, and commentary in assessing student achievement and connecting lessons to broader learning goals. Furthermore, it highlights the role of visible student work in enhancing educational expectations and fostering a collaborative classroom environment.

1. Showcasing Student Work through Standards Based Bulletin Boards

2. Components of Standards Based Boards Standard Objective Task Grading Rubric Student Work Commentary

3. Standards include: Sunshine State Standards (SSS ) - written and required by the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) New Century Performance Standards (NCEE) -written by the National Center on Education and the Economy - adopted by Duval County School District

4. Content Standards Current SSS for intensive instruction is on the NWMS Instructional Focus Calendar District Pacing Guide identifies course content standards and suggested timeline for instruction Performance Standards book lists the NCEE standards for Writing, Math, Science, and Applied Learning

5. Objectives Standards are broad and contain several learning goals combined into one standard Analyze the standard to identify the individual learning goal for an assignment A lesson plan is usually written around one or two learning goals A performance task usually contains several learning goals relating to the broad standard

6. Performance Task The performance task is the student product required for the objective Identify the specific performance task that you want students to complete Performance tasks allow students to demonstrate levels of achievement

7. Grading Rubric Is also known as a scoring rubric A rubric is a scoring tool that lists the criteria for a piece of work Students define this as “what counts” Rubrics include clear indicators and define the features of work at levels that meet, exceed, or fail the to meet the standards Rubrics help students judge their own work and revise it before submitting it to the teacher

8. Student Work Student work is the intentional serious work of the individual student Student and teacher work should be posted and shared, not isolated in the classroom Student work provides key data about teachers’ expectations of students Student work is a way to strengthen the connection between learning goals and performance

9. Commentary A method of showing students, parents, and teachers what work looks like at the various performance levels Explains why the work does or does not meet the standard Is based on the levels of achievement defined in the grading rubric Must be specific to the task and the work

10. “ The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” Standards + Objective + Task + Grading rubric + Student work + Commentary = “Standards Based Bulletin Boards “
