Introduction
Standards are the structured goals set by the state's Board of Education. Standards provide guides to how and what a student should be learning and is the finished product of a curriculm. To find if standards are met, assesments are given frequently.
Task
1. Kindergarten through the third grade are the grades that the Read to be Ready Program is targeting. Litercy is required at an early age in order to be able to proceed with other course that require, often quite substantially, reading and writing.
2. Academic standards differ from curriculum in that standards are goals set and curriculum is the substance to reach the standards.
3. Science, Socail Studies, and ESL have not changed thier academic standards due to Common Core.
4. Math standards have changed due to common core in three ways. Focus. Coherence. Rigor.
5. English Language Arts require six standards. Three of these standards have to do with reading. There is literature, informational text, and foundational skills in the grades kindergarten through fifth. Writing, Language, and speaking and listening are also a part of the ELA standards.
6. Literacy in the sciences is required due to the understanding of the graphs, history, and thesis written on and about the particular subjects.
7. In the area of Sociel Science there are several sub catagories acording to the high school level of teaching. Within each of these catagories are areas of study that each student must be able to read, understand, and pass assesment on. For example, in the sub catagory of sociel science there is US History and Goegraphy. Within that class there are several eras ad within those eras are peices of information that the student should know by the end of the school year.
Process
1. English as a second language should be taught in a separate class as to not disrupt the regularity of an everyday classroom. The inability to move at a normal rate due to the inexperience of those whose first language is not English would hold back the potential for the rest of the students.
Evaluation
RTI2 is the way in which a teacher teaches according to each individual’s needs. There are three levels of this system that determines the way in which each student is taught according to their needs. The way in which this process may affect a teaher is that special attention may be needed per student, altering the curriculum slightly to fit their needs. If the needs of the students are not met the class as a whole may be brought down due to behavioral issues.
1. The first tier in which approximately eighty-five percent of students fall under is the tier where the average curriculum is taught with standards and assessments that are set by the board.
2. The second tier is where approximately ten percent of the student population resides. These students require extra care along with the regular curriculum. Students who fall under this tier make up less than five percent. These students often have severe learning disabilities and require specialists. This procedure affects teachers in that attention to each individual is made prevalent rather than simply the class as a whole.
3. The third tier requires intensive action as the student is behind one and a half to two grades. Here special screening is needed in order to better cater to the student’s needs.
There are many ways to assess whether or not students are meeting state standards. Evaluation of a high school student's understandig of history can be assesed through methods of arguement and explanitory assignments. Literacy is highly important to this particular area of study and standards are set as such.
