Balanced Assessment Professional Development Series 2014-2015 Building Quality Interim Assessments - Continuation of Cohort 1 THANK YOU to our 2013/14 participants who worked diligently during the 2013-14 school year. Based on survey results collected from Cohort 1 participants in January, 2014, there was an overwhelming desire to continue support in 2014/15. Specifically, nearly 80% of respondents requested the following supports:  Analyze the first round of interim assessments  Create action plans based on the analysis  Build additional interim assessments  Train additional staff members on using interim data

Purpose:

Based on these survey results we plan to continue supporting members of Cohort 1 with the following: 1) Friday, September 26, 2014 from 8:00 a.m. till 3:30 p.m. Participants will explore interim assessments created during the 2013-14 school year within inQwizIT. Sample assessment data will be available to review key steps of data analysis and developing action plans. 2) TBD by content team and ISD content specialist, roll-out planning and teacher orientation to the use of the inQwizIT Assessment Engine for use during the 2014-15 school year. 3) TBD by content team and ISD content specialist, a second full day in your district will be planned to support data analysis of the first interim assessment (most likely given between week 5 and week 8 of the 2014-15 school year). In addition to analysis and action planning, participants will select standards to spiral into the second interim assessment and fine-tune items from the first interim assessment. 4) TBD by content team and ISD content specialist, additional days will be scheduled for finishing grade level and content area assessment work (Algebra I, 4th grade Science, and 6th grade Social Studies). The total time commitment for fall is approximately 3-4 days. Substitute reimbursement is available for 2013-14 team participants continuing assessment work during the beginning of the 2014-15 semester. For questions about the continuation of Cohort 1 interim assessment development, please contact: Doug Greer, dgreer@oaisd.org or Bill Dinkelmann, bdinkelm@oaisd.org.

OAISD student assessment sessions are designed to empower classroom and special education teachers in the use of researchbased assessments within a balanced system to improve student learning.

Developing HS Math Interim Assessments 2014/15 Building Quality Interim Assessments as part of Balanced Assessments - Cohort 2 Building on the development of interim assessments during the 2013-14 school year, Cohort 2 participants will engage in several days of professional development at the ISD that will simply combine research to support the development of content specific interim assessments, similar to Cohort 1. Our first cohort combined two districts to focus on building four quality interim assessments for Algebra 1. We are looking to establish two teams for Cohort 2 in order to develop Algebra 2 and Geometry.

or identify essential standards for inclusion in interim assessments will be introduced. Case studies will illustrate the analysis of interim assessment data and the development of action plans that define a “Data Driven Culture.” Work sessions at the OAISD from 8:00 a.m. till 3:00 p.m. will include lunch and occur on the following days:  Thursday, January 15, 2015  Wednesday, February 11, 2015  Tuesday, February 24, 2015  Friday, March 20, 2015  Tuesday, March 31, 2015  Wednesday, April 29, 2015  Thursday, May 14, 2015

Essentially, a district is asked to consider sending two high school math teachers, most likely one for the Algebra 2 team and one for the Geometry team. Other combinations will be accepted, but are limited to the following scenarios for each district and will be dependent on the number of applicants:  One Algebra 2 teacher and One Geometry teacher OR  Two Algebra 2 teachers OR  Two Geometry teachers  NOTE: Up to two additional teachers may be allowed to join dependent on the space available.

The number of days committed are approximated as they are dependent on how the process matriculates. Interim Assessments will likely be administered in inQwizIT. Applications are DUE June 15, 2014 to qualify for substitute reimbursement funding support, APPLY HERE or simply GOOGLE: Balanced Assessment OAISD For more information, contact: Doug Greer, dgreer@oaisd.org or Mike Klavon, mklavon@oaisd.org

Participants will be introduced to a process of developing quality interim assessments that drive instruction as defined by experts such as Dufour/Many, Stiggins, and Bambrick-Santoyo. Depth of Knowledge (DoK) will be an additional focus during these sessions.

Purpose: OAISD student assessment sessions are designed to empower classroom and special education teachers in the use of research-based assessments within a balanced system to improve student learning.

The Algebra 2 and Geometry teams will work together validating some of the quality work of Cohort 1. A process to validate and/ 4

Contact Doug Greer at ext. 4109 or dgreer@oaisd.org if you would like to schedule a meeting or have a workshop brought to you and/or your staff. As always, individual meetings often result in the quickest solution to answer the issues your building or district seems to facing. Please don’t hesitate to request a personal visit. The goal is to help districts and buildings to move school improvement beyond compliance to become a practical process embedded in your culture. In addition, we strive to help districts and buildings understand how accountability data might inform curriculum and more importantly how to relate this to interim data used in classrooms. A growing amount of research supports the implementation of a balanced system of assessments. Please consider the Balanced Assessment Professional Development Sessions. 7

Reducing Mean Behavior & Increasing Caring & Connection: What Schools Can Do

Peer-to-peer aggression is often considered a normal part of growing up. However, there is mounting evidence that repetitive mean behavior, particularly bullying, has long-term damaging consequences for targets, aggressors, and bystanders. Without adult intervention, aggression usually escalates and negatively impacts school climate. Much of the advice that adults give students on how to deal with mean teasing, relational aggression, physical aggression and shunning is misguided and based on commonly held myths. This pragmatic and research-based workshop will delineate how to reduce peer cruelty while simultaneously enhancing caring, connection, and compassion. School-wide interventions, classroom-based techniques, and effective student skills and strategies will be presented. The presenter is Dr. Marcia McEvoy.

Project Based Learning (PBL) emphasizes learning activities that are long-term, interdisciplinary and student-centered. Unlike traditional, teacher-led classroom activities, students often must organize their own work and manage their own time in a project-based learning environment. Project-based instruction differs from traditional inquiry by its emphasis on students' collaborative or individual artifact construction to represent what is being learned. Project Based Learning Series

In this series participants will learn about PBL and throughout the series will design their own lesson, apply it between sessions, and come back with student feedback to share, and then revise to create a new PBL session for their own classroom. By the end of the series participants will have created and applied effective PBL strategies and lessons in their own classroom. This course will be a blended course with online collaborations between sessions.

How do I register for the Professional Development listed? Registration for most of the professional development listed is located at www.oaisd.org (under Quick Links, Workshop Registration) unless otherwise noted in the description. If you haven’t attended a professional development event at Ottawa Area ISD before, you will need to create an account in the system in order to register (information is under “Logon”). What are SCECHs? State Continuing Education Clock Hours—formerly SB-CEUs On May 18, 2012 the Michigan Department of Education revised the Administrative Rules which changed SB-CEUs to State Continuing Education Hours and those hours to be clock hours. The MDE combined the terms to name the renewal credits State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCECHs). SCECHs are State approved in-service, workshop, training, or conference credits that are used for the renewal of selected certificates issued by the MDE. SCECHs are the total number of instructional hours in a program. The eight (8) hour session would now award 8 SCECHs instead of .8 SB-CEUs. For more information, please go to this website link: SCECHS For Ottawa Area ISD events there is a $5.00 fee per SCECH application, unless otherwise noted.
