Opening Activity: Celebrate Success

>>
 * Revisit/process November Training **
 * Go back to November 27-28 training (wikipage)
 * Review the information on the wiki for Common Core. How can you use these with your schools? What are your plans?
 * Math resources Deb R. shared have been used at a ESU 6 school.
 * ESU 2 principal meeting - shared ppt's to give an overview, had great discussion, and increased awareness. Have also emailed resources to administrators.
 * ESU 8 has created a Common Core wiki and added the resources.
 * ESU 7 has shared information with supts.
 * Reading Cadre felt need to not put "Nebraska twist' on the CCSS, instead prefer to have time to instruct on instructional strategies.
 * ESU 3 has some CCSS resources on a wiki.
 * Lenny's Common Core wiki page
 * Review the information on the wiki for MRL Scales. How can you use these with your schools? What are your plans?
 * ESU 6 modeled the scales at a school, and then had teachers write a scale on how to carve a pumpkin.
 * UNL is using them with graduate courses (Julie Downing).
 * Penny: NDE said scales would be part of Teacher Evaluation, or would use state PLD's if did not have.
 * ESU 2 working once a month with a Wahoo (part of Marzano Academy) and they are working to have proficiency scales written for each class; next year want to focus on common assessments, and standards based report card. HS teachers loved the simple form best on the proficiency scales. Have webinars and a podcast available Eileen can share.
 * Marzano Webex #1
 * Marzano Webex #2
 * Marzano Webex #3
 * Marzano Webex #4
 * ESU 10 thinking about concepts for teachers to be able to utilize and how might create a college credit course. Tools and interconnectedness on reflective conversation to Marzano Teacher Evaluation piece are a nice fit.
 * It's difficult to identify the Essentials - must unpack the standards first and then limit the number of essentials.
 * Could do a "Stars-like" training on scales: bring Social Studies teachers together to create. Difficult ones are the non-core classes, so may want to start with IT, Business, etc.

 * Valorie Foy, NDE Assessment Director
 * [[file:Preview of “ESU Summar Final.pptx (Read-Only)”.pdf]]
 * Provided "The View" summary based on fall assessment talks across the state (see ppt for specific information shared).
 * NSSRS, C4L Update, Writing, NeSA, NePAS (Nebraska Performance Accountability System)
 * C4L WebExes to demonstrate how to use new testing engine Oct. 30 & 31; NDE is looking at providing ESU access to C4L
 * Want prompt writing and field testing to continue to be completed within Nebraska; State Board of Education set the cut score standard higher - if ideas or organization falls into the 2 range will be difficult for student to be proficient because of new rating.
 * Rangefinding of what kind of writing is a "1", "3", etc. is completed by Neb. educators. Jen M. requested knowing if sample papers represent high, middle, or low end of the rubric score.
 * DRC scorers have to pass a test to be a scorer; 5 paragraph writing is not expected. All scorers are in one location and use computers to complete the scoring. 4th grade papers are scanned into the computer. Their scoring is verified periodically during the scoring process.
 * Students - higher the number of minutes taking the test (up to 60 minutes) the higher their score; Not true for 90 minutes, except for Sped. Is about teaching kids how to use their time for on-demand writing.
 * Need 8th and 11th grade classrooms to field test writing prompts.
 * NePAS- originated from state legislated bill.
 * NePAS ranking - will be 4 scores: 3 grade-level configurations (3-5, 6-8, 9-12) and school district (gr. 3-12, all #'s added together). Status - how NeSA scale scores ranked; Improvement - different students in grade span and difference in growth; Growth - same students; Participation - % tested who met/not met.
