Power Standards, Common Assessments, and the Course and Unit Organizers: Wow, What a Fit! Patricia Ward, Director of Instruction and Learning, Crossroads Charter Academy, Big Rapids, MI. This session will refer to the books Power Standards by Larry Ainsworth and Classroom Assessment for Student Learning by Rick Stiggins. We will discuss how both books support the use of the Course and Unit Organizers in grades K12 and how to walk your staff through identifying the state level "power standards" at each grade level; how to assess for competency of those standards; and how to use the Course and Unit Organizers as a means to actually teach the standards throughout the school year. This is an example of one school's attempt to align curriculum, instruction and assessment and to improve student performance through the Karen Koskovitch Neatest Thing LSSleuthing Parts of Speech in PSW: Ed Ellis

2019 SIMposium
During this session, we will provide a description of the new Possible Selves: Online Version Transition program. This version of possible selves was developed to support transition planning for students with disabilities and other learners who would benefit from thinking about future goals as learners, persons, and workers and who are taught in virtual schools. Using a systems design approach, the online version was built to be responsive to a UDL framework for students with disabilities who are receiving instruction in virtual schools. In addition, the program can be used for students in traditional school environments in which technology is available to support learning. The online version of possible selves can be taught as a stand-alone transition course/unit or embedded in a core class. Participants will examine specific online activities, explore additional lessons, and have opportunities to askquestions and provide feedback on the current model.
The Possible Selves program is designed to increase student motivation and engagement in learning by having students examine their future and think about goals that are important tothem. Specifically, students think about and describe their hoped-for possible selves expected possible selves, and feared possible selves. In effect, students examine certain aspects of their lives and are challenged to evaluate and take action that will enable them to become strong, well-balanced human beings. They set goals, create plans, and work toward their goals aspart of this program.

- PD & Coaching: Supporting Quality Implementation of a Comprehensive CRL Reading Program (1:24:55)
2015 SIM Conference
Mike Hock, Irma Brasseur Hock, Sue Woodruff -
Improving reading achievement for adolescents with disabilities is a national concern. Unfortunately, efforts to close the achievement gap for this population have had little impact on student outcomes. During this presentation, we briefly discuss a supplemental reading program and its impact on student reading outcomes. Most importantly, we describe a collaborative professional development and technology supported coaching model. The PD and coaching model will include a discussion of how we used the Edthena video platform during coaching sessions to reduce coach “windshield time” and to increase teacher focus on their actual classroom practices. The coaching model we used is based on Jim Knight’s Instructional coaching and coaching of coaches models. Session goals are to: (1) increase knowledge of a comprehensive and supplemental reading program 2) increase knowledge of a collaborative professional learning and technology supported instructional coaching model that supports quality implementation and improved student outcomes.

Some students just do not have the prerequisite skills for the Error Monitoring Strategy, and others have not learned the complex rules for capitalization and punctuation required on their state competency exams and college entrance exams. This session will focus on three computerized programs for teaching strategies associated with capitalization rules, comma rules, and other punctuation rules. Participants will learn how to provide professional development on the programs and instruct teachers on their roles in using the computerized instruction format.

(001:21:46)
Suzanne Robinson, Beverly Colombo, Strategic Learning Center -
Gen Ed teachers often ask to see examples of Content Enhancement devices designed for the courses they teach. The 5 supplemental Enhancing CER guidebooks were created to provide quality examples and more. Four guidebooks address the four main core content areas: math social studies, science and English/language arts. A fifth guidebook addresses elective classes. Each guidebook contains a list of courses taught in the discipline and descriptive information about the courses; national standards for the content area; a list of critical concepts addressed in the discipline and in specific courses; information about the text structure, knowledge structures, and ways of thinking in the discipline; examples of formative and summative assessments that align with the Content Enhancement Devices. This session will introduce PD-ers to the supplemental guidebooks and provide ideas and support materials.
- Preconference 2010: Literature Literacy SMARTsheets (00:56:35)
-
This workshop focuses on how to apply Literature Literacy SMARTsheets to enhance comprehension of and ability to write about literature. SMARTsheets are graphic organizer like devices with embedded semantic prompts designed to cue students to engage in specific information processing strategies and thinking skills and to focus on what is essential to understand about a set of high frequency generative topics commonly addressed in literature. We will examine SMARTsheets for story grammar and sequence, analysis of story problems, characters, poems, speeches, literacy devices, and literary themes, as well as SMARTsheets designed to promote use of questioning, making inferences, summarizing, and predicting cognitive strategies. To view samples of Literature SMARTsheets, see ww.MakesSenseStrategies.com.
