Shelby County Schools



IntroductionIn 2014, the Shelby County Schools Board of Education adopted a set of ambitious, yet attainable goals for school and student performance. The District is committed to these goals, as further described in our strategic plan, Destination 2025. By 2025, 80% of our students will graduate from high school college or career ready90% of students will graduate on time100% of our students who graduate college or career ready will enroll in a post-secondary opportunity. In order to achieve these ambitious goals, we must collectively work to provide our students with high-quality, College and Career Ready standards-aligned instruction. Acknowledging the need to develop competence in literacy and language as the foundations for all learning, Shelby County Schools developed the Comprehensive Literacy Improvement Plan (CLIP). The plan ensures a quality balanced literacy approach to instruction that results in high levels of literacy learning for all students and across content areas. Destination 2025, the Comprehensive Literacy Improvement Plan, and TN State Standards establish common goals and expectations for student learning across schools and are the underpinning for the development of the curriculum frameworks/maps.Purpose - This curriculum framework or map is meant to help teachers and their support providers (e.g., coaches, leaders) on their path to effective, college and career ready (CCR) aligned instruction and our pursuit of Destination 2025. It is a resource for organizing instruction around the TN State Standards, which define what to teach and what students need to learn at each grade level. The framework is designed to reinforce the grade/course-specific standards and content—the major work of the grade (scope)—and provides a suggested sequencing and pacing and time frames, aligned resources—including complex texts, sample questions and tasks, and other planning tools. Our hope is that by curating and organizing a variety of standards-aligned resources, teachers will be able to spend less time wondering what to teach and searching for quality materials (though they may both select from and/or supplement those included here) and have more time to plan, teach, assess, and reflect with colleagues to continuously improve practice and best meet the needs of their students.The map is meant to support effective planning and instruction to rigorous standards; it is not meant to replace teacher planning or prescribe pacing or instructional practice. In fact, our goal is not to merely “cover the curriculum,” but rather to “uncover” it by developing students’ deep understanding of the content and mastery of the standards. Teachers who are knowledgeable about and intentionally align the learning target (standards and objectives), topic, text(s), task, topic, and needs (and assessment) of the learners are best-positioned to make decisions about how to support student learning toward such mastery. Teachers are therefore expected--with the support of their colleagues, coaches, leaders, and other support providers--to exercise their professional judgement aligned to our shared vision of effective instruction, the Teacher Effectiveness Measure (TEM) and related best practices. However, while the framework allows for flexibility and encourages each teacher/teacher team to make it their own, our expectations for student learning are non-negotiable. We must ensure all of our children have access to rigor—high-quality teaching and learning to grade level specific standards, including purposeful support of literacy and language learning across the content areas. It is essential for students to strategically leverage their literacy skills to comprehend informational texts and explicitly demonstrate competence in thinking, reading, writing, and communicating. Integration of literacy skills is critical for student success in post-secondary education and to prepare students, teachers must regularly engage students with:Regular practice with complex text and vocabulary.Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from texts. Using literacy skills to gain knowledge and demonstrate competence in rigorous activities and tasks.Effective Social Studies instruction should model and teach students to effectively manage and analyze information using literacy skills and strategies. This requires consistent demonstration and practice of how to use literacy skills with Social Studies content. (An example of an effective daily lesson agenda appears at the end of this document.) Document–Based Questions (DBQs) and Text Dependent Questions (TDQs) are included in the suggested activities throughout this document. “Best Practice” requires student to regularly engage with challenging texts and requires students to substantiate their answers using evidence taken from the text/passage. “The implementation of Common Core State Standards is a full-school endeavor, not just a project for math and ELA teachers. The Common Core State Standards, in addition to the English Language Arts (ELA) Standards, includes Literacy (reading and writing) standards for the “specialized disciplines” of history, social studies, science, and technical subjects for grades 6-12. Teachers of all grades and subjects can integrate math and literacy skills and activities into their disciplines in order to harness the power of the Common Core to improve student learning across the board.”Source: support literacy and language learning across the content areas and support deeper knowledge building in the content area, throughout this curriculum map, you will see high-quality texts from both the textbook(s) and external/supplemental texts?to ensure students are reading appropriately complex, worthwhile material. These texts have been evaluated by district staff to ensure that they meet criteria for text complexity--Quantitative, Qualitative, and Reader & Task Factors. ?Lexile Levels are listed on the Curriculum Maps, and additional information is cited, where available.02259049KeyATOS: ATOS (Renaissance Learning); DRP: Degrees of Reading Power (Questar); FK: Flesch Kincaid (public domain, no mass analyzer tool available); Lexile: Lexile Framework (MetaMetrics); SR: Source Rater (ETS); RM: Pearson Reading Maturity Metric (Pearson Education)00KeyATOS: ATOS (Renaissance Learning); DRP: Degrees of Reading Power (Questar); FK: Flesch Kincaid (public domain, no mass analyzer tool available); Lexile: Lexile Framework (MetaMetrics); SR: Source Rater (ETS); RM: Pearson Reading Maturity Metric (Pearson Education)Using the WIDA MPIsWIDA English Language Development (ELD) standards and example Model Performance Indicator (MPI) strands appear within this document to provide teachers with appropriate scaffolding examples for ELLs and struggling readers.

It requires daily immersion in word-rich environments, while teaching and modeling word learning strategies—from the use of context clues and concept maps (to connect related ideas) to understanding the nuance of words: origin, root, and/or affixes. In all content areas, terms should be integrated into tasks and reinforced over time and across contexts. Basic Vocabulary (Tier 1) - Words that commonly appear in spoken language and are heard frequently in numerous contexts and with nonverbal communication. Tier 1 words rarely require explicit instruction for native English speakers. (Examples of Tier 1 words are: clock, write, happy and walk.)Academic Vocabulary (Tier 2) - High frequency words used by mature language users across several content areas and may appear of redundant in oral language. Tier 2 words present challenges to students who primarily meet them in print. (Examples of Tier 2 words are: obvious, complex, establish and verify.)Content Vocabulary (Tier 3) - Words that are not frequently used except in specific content areas or domains. Tier 3 words are central to building knowledge and conceptual understanding within the various academic domains and are integral to content instruction. (Examples are: legislative, molecule, and genre.)Explicit instruction of the Tier 2 academic words (typically in the context of the text and not necessarily through pre-teaching) is required in order for students to know and use the words accurately, per the Suggested Activities (3rd column). Multiple exposures and practice using these words are key characteristics of effective vocabulary instruction. Teaching Vocabulary for Mastery…Post the words in your classroom noting their syllabicated forms (ex: Pa-le-on–tol-o-gy) to aid struggling readers.Provide a student-friendly definition of the word.Suggest synonyms or antonyms for the word.Put the new word into a context or connect it to a known concept, morpheme, or root.Use the new word on multiple occasions and in multiple contexts (e.g., sentence starters, games, student writing).Whenever you say the word, run your hand or a pointer under the syllables of the word as you pronounce it, quickly cueing struggling readers to associate your spoken word with the written word on the wall.Use the new words in context of the lesson.Ask questions that contain the new word; so, students must process its meaning in multiple ways.Add the new word to an already existing classroom concept map, or construct a new concept map using the new word as the foundational concept.Expect pairs of students to construct semantic word maps for new vocabulary.Give students extra credit points for hearing or seeing content vocabulary in other contexts.ReferencesMcEwan, E.K.
