  1. Science Instructional Guide For High School Integrated Coordinated Science Biology and Chemistry Professional Development Module 1 Introduction to the Instructional Guide, Professional Development, and Periodic Assessment System

  2. Who Created the Instructional Guide? • Design Team of Teachers • Science Experts and Specialists • Central Office Science Unit

  3. LAUSD Science Instructional Guide and Periodic Assessments • So What’s My Role and What Is Expected of Me? • What Must I do in This New System? • What Decisions Will I Be Able to Make?

  4. What Is in the Guide? • Introduction • Overview of Major District Initiatives • Overview of State Documents • Science Pedagogy • Overview of Assessments • Instructional Matrices • Immersion Units (Under Development)

  5. Instructional Matrix Sections • Standard Sets • Content Standard Groups • Key Concepts • Analyzed Standards • Instructional Resources • Text Activities • Supplemental Activities/Resources • Textbook References • Connections and Notes

  6. The Analyzed Standards

  7. Analyzing the California Content Standards • What are the differences between the California content standards and the analyzed standards? • How do the Analyzed Standards reflect: Basic Skills, Conceptual Understanding, Problem Solving? • How might the Analyzed Standards be used in instruction?

  8. Performance Task Traits • Aligns to Standards • Is Inquiry-Based • Demonstrates Skills • Establishes Clear Expectations • Provides Scaffolding of Skills, Content, and Levels of Thinking Problem Solving Analysis Concept Concept Scaffolding Application Skill Skill

  9. Performance Task • Integrated Science I • Performance Task 2 • Biology • Performance Task 6 • Chemistry • Performance Task 1

  10. Performance Tasks • Adopt • Use the task “as is” • Adapt • Modify the task • Use as a springboard for developing other tasks • Use the idea of the task to build new inquiry-based student experiences

  11. Culturally Relevant and Responsive Strategies • What are these strategies? • Why is it important to embed them in instruction? • What do they look like in Science classrooms?

  12. Periodic Assessments • Provide a source of evidence about student progress toward proficiency on the grade level standards • Provide feedback to inform practice • Provide data for professional development that focuses on collaborative teacher conversations

  13. Periodic Assessment Administration • When are the assessments given? • Refer to page 4-3 in your guide • Assessment Window will vary depending on your calendar and track • Biology and Chemistry have 3 per year • ICS I has 4 per year ? ? ?
