“Literacy instruction is a shared responsibility, based on the philosophy that teachers in the content areas can and should use their expertise in their disciplines to help students meet challenges of reading and writing in their respective fields.”
Smarter Balanced Assessments are:
Standards based NOT textbook based Your text book is an AWESOME resource/ reference book.

Curriculum Mapping Curriculum Mapping is a long-range plan captured in a graphic organizer that represents a collection of Standardsbased units. It is informed by the benchmarks and curriculum objective, student data, including an analyses of student work and projected assessment timelines. It is a document that should be modified based on student needs and reviewed and revised yearly.
Curriculum Planning A Standards-based unit is a subset of a curriculum map. It provides a plan of action for implementation of the benchmarks and curriculum objectives, anchoring them in a real world context through essential questions. A unit includes: – Prioritized Standards – Essential questions and stems – Benchmarks and curriculum objectives – Ongoing and culminating assessments – Instructional resources such as textbooks, literature,
technology, etc.
Curriculum Development Planning Teams Focus on a Common Core Standards Based
Education Establish a Professional Learning Community Prioritize Standards Deconstructing Standards Collaborative Lesson/Unit of Study Planning Lesson Study through teacher mentoring Performance Based Assessments

Webb's Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Bloom's Taxonomy vs. Norman Webb's Depth of Knowledge The Common Core Standards are the cornerstones of the
Smarter Balanced assessments. Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (scale of cognitive demand)
and Blooms Revised Taxonomy (levels of intellectual ability) are the framework and the structures that will be used to evaluate students. Depth of knowledge, and complexity of knowledge is the heart of the more rigorous assessments being implemented in 2014. They share many ideas and concepts yet are different in level of cognitive demand, level of difficulty, complexity of verbs vs. depth of thinking required, and the scale of cognitive demand.
During the planning process, refer to the DOK Levels

Standard CC.2.R.L.1 Key Ideas and Details: Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text. Teachers plan instructional strategies to teach the activities that target the needs of all learners
Activities that address Standard
Assessment I can identify, answer and show the key ideas in fiction and non-fiction texts according to who, what, where, when, why, and how. [RL.2.1].

Understanding Assessments ¨ FORMATIVE: checking on learning as
students progress
¨ SUMMATIVE: checking on learning at the
end of the learning experience
¨ “When the cook tastes the soup, that’s
formative; when the guests taste the soup, that’s summative.” (Stake, 2005)

Engaging Scenarios Scenarios are a great way to make performance tasks
more engaging. They help students learn at a deeper level. Instead of just reading, learners must read with the intent to understand and at times place themselves into the particular situation, giving students information to make decisions.
Scenarios provide learners the opportunity to: apply knowledge and practice skills relevant to the
situation they face analyze, identify issues, solve problems and
formulate strategies learn by completing structured learning activities
which resemble the challenges they are likely to face in the real world
