2011 Scope &
Sequence Workshop description
TRANSITION TO STATE OF TEXAS ASSESSMENT OF ACADEMIC READINESS (STAAR) AND
END-OF-COURSE (EOC)
The June 2011 Scope & Sequence sessions will have a total focus on STAAR and EOC
with the integration of all of the STAAR and EOC specifications
and requirements into the Scope and Sequence notebook materials and the unique,
copyrighted Kilgo Research Model and will be based on Margaret Kilgo’s most
current, in-depth research on STAAR, grades 3-8, and EOC, grades 9-11, in
Science, Mathematics, English Language Arts/Reading and Social Studies.
The Kilgo Scope & Sequence workshops support school districts and campuses in
developing and implementing a dynamic curriculum plan by providing a
data-driven, research-based recommended sequence or pacing for teaching the
Texas curriculum standards, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and
Student Expectations (SEs), and aligning classroom instruction and assessment to
the depth and complexity of the new 2012 Texas standards-based assessments,
STAAR and EOC, in all four core subject areas.
Participants will receive an organized curriculum framework with specific
recommended pacing in an Excel format with CDs for teaching and assessing the
TEKS/SEs to the depth and complexity of STAAR and EOC at all grade levels, not
just the tested grade levels, including all of the components critical for
improving student achievement equitably for all students, grades K-12.
By participating in the Kilgo Scope & Sequence workshops school districts will
be preparing teachers and administrators to make an effective and successful
transition to the STAAR and EOC by following the Kilgo Research Model for
implementation of a district-wide and campus-wide curriculum and assessment plan
based on the TEKS/SEs with a focus on higher standards in classroom instruction
and assessment. In addition, the 2011 Kilgo Scope and Sequence workshops,
notebooks, and CDs will include Margaret Kilgo’s research on the alignment
between the TEKS/SE and the Texas College Readiness Standards for English
Language Arts/Reading and Mathematics, a critical component of the new 2013
Texas Accountability Program.
The 2011 Scope & Sequence workshops in science, mathematics, language
arts/reading, and social studies, grades K-12, will include:
-
In-depth review and study of the latest Kilgo research on the relationship
between the Texas curriculum standards, the TEKS/SEs, and the new Texas
assessments, STAAR and EOC, including a process for teaching and assessing the
TEKS/SEs to the depth and complexity of STAAR and EOC;
-
Scope and Sequence charts in an Excel format in hard copy and on CD developed by
Margaret Kilgo with a specific sequence to teach the TEKS/SEs including:
-
Sequence for pacing instruction of the TEKS/SEs based on current student
achievement TEKS/SEs statewide data trends and Kilgo research on the
relationship between the TEKS/SEs and STAAR and EOC;
-
Coding of “high stakes” TEKS/SEs tested on STAAR and EOC;
-
Coding of “high stakes” TEKS/SEs tested on TAKS for students enrolled in grades
10 and 11 and grandfathered under TAKS;
-
Coding of depth and complexity alignment between TEKS/SEs and STAAR and EOC;
-
Coding of depth and complexity alignment for TEKS/SEs tested on TAKS for
students enrolled in grades 10 and 11 and grandfathered under TAKS;
-
Coding alignment of the SAT in reading and mathematics;
-
Procedures for customizing the Kilgo Scope and Sequence charts in the
development and implementation of a local school district and/or campus
curriculum plan and adding local district resources; and
-
An overview of the Kilgo copyrighted process for developing and organizing the
district and/or campus assessment plan, including how to write questions 100%
aligned with the TEKS/SEs to the depth and complexity of STAAR and EOC.
English Language Arts/Reading (K-12) Scope & Sequence Charts.
In addition to the components for all four core subject areas listed above, the
2011 Scope and Sequence charts for English Language Arts/Reading (ELAR) a will
include:
-
Vertical alignment objectives for the new, revised ELAR, K-12, in reading
comprehension so all thinking and comprehension skills are introduced in a
developmental sequence and developed to mastery prior to testing on STAAR and
EOC across all TEKS strands and genres;
-
Reading comprehension question stems in English (K-12) and Spanish (K-5),
aligned with the new, revised ELAR TEKS/SEs to the depth and complexity of
STAAR, grades, 3-8, and EOC for English I,II,III; and
-
Alignment between the Texas College Readiness Standards and the new, revised
ELAR TEKS/SEs.
Science Scope & Sequence Charts.
In addition to the components for all four core subject areas listed above, the
2011 Scope and Sequence charts for Science will include:
-
Scope and Sequence will be based solely on the new, revised 2010 Science
TEKS/SEs in the second year of full implementation for the 2011-2012 school
year;
-
Alignment objectives for science, grades 1-11, so skills and concepts can be
introduced at earlier grade levels and developed to mastery prior to testing on
STAAR, grades 5 and 8, and EOC for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
Mathematics Scope & Sequence Charts.
In
addition to the components for all four core subject areas listed above, the
2011 Scope and Sequence charts for Mathematics will include:
-
Alignment objectives for mathematics, K-12, so skills and concepts can be
introduced at earlier grade levels and developed to mastery prior to testing on
STAAR, grades 3-8, and EOC for Algebra I, Algebra II, and High School Geometry;
and
-
Alignment between the Texas College Readiness Standards and the Mathematics
TEKS/SEs, grades K-12.
Social Studies Scope & Sequence Charts.
In addition to the above list of components, the 2011 Scope and Sequence charts
for Social Studies will include:
-
Scope and Sequence will be based solely on the new, revised 2011 Social Studies
TEKS/SEs scheduled for full implementation September 1, 2011; and
-
Comparison of the new 2011 Social Studies TEKS/SEs and original 1997 Social
Studies TEKS/SEs tested on TAKS, STAAR, and EOC, developed by the deep research
of Margaret Kilgo for transitioning effectively to the new 2011 TEKS/SEs.
