The Big Ideas

Why are we here?

“

"From the moment students enter a school, the most important factor in their success is not the color of their skin or the income of their parents, it's the person standing at the front of the classroom."

• -Barack Obama

3 Core Principles

1. The teacher is the most important asset in the classroom. 2. Student grades should be an accurate reflection of what they know and can do. 3. Educational technology should enhance the role of the teacher in the classroom, not minimize it.

Guaranteed Viable Curriculum

“

“Given that one of the main barriers to implementing standards is that they contain too much content, it would be counterproductive to identify too many measurement topics. I recommend no more than 20 measurement topics per subject, per grade level, and ideally about 15.”

• -Robert Marzano

Reading

❏ R1 - I can read and comprehend various texts using the close reading, annotation, and rereading strategies. ❏ R2 - I can cite textual evidence to support my analysis of explicit elements of the text and inferences that I have made. ❏ R3 - I can determine the central theme of a text and analyze its development by looking at individual parts of the whole. ❏ R4 - I can provide an objective summary of a text. ❏ R5 - I can evaluate the credibility of a source, statement, or reasoning and explain that evaluation.

Writing

❏ W1 - I can write a clear, concise thesis statement that anticipates the structure of my essay. ❏ W2 - I can use clear and appropriate transitions to connect different parts of my writing. ❏ W3 - I can write interesting introductions and conclusions using relevant anecdotes. ❏ W4 - I can synthesize information from multiple sources in order to support my thoughts, analyses, or arguments. ❏ W5 - I can use research to answer a question or solve a problem. ❏ W6 - I can effectively use source material without disrupting the flow of my writing or plagiarizing material.
