The



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 maps.Purpose - This curriculum 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 map 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 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, 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 judgment 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. A standards-based curriculum, performance-based learning and assessments, and high quality instruction are at the heart of the ELA Curriculum maps. Educators will use this map and the standards as a road map for curriculum and instruction. Carefully crafted curricular sequences and quality instructional resources enable teachers to devote more time and energy in delivering instruction and assessing the effectiveness of instruction for all learners in their classrooms, including those with special learning needs.To 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. Additionally, qualitative evidence is provided in the textbooks for anchor texts and should be used to inform planning. In order to plan effective lessons that allow students to do the majority of the thinking, teachers should employ strategies found in our comprehensive plan for improving literacy and learning. Our plan advises that during the literacy block teachers should use the following times: Whole-Group Instruction (estimated time 20-25 minutes)-This time is used to engage all students in grade level information at the same time. The purpose of whole group is to introduce and/or reinforce new knowledge, skills, or concepts, which often includes teacher modeling and practice.Small-Group Instruction (estimated time 45-60 minutes)- During this time students engage in either teacher-led small group or student workstations. Small group instruction is a time to solidify the concepts learned in the whole group setting. This time allows the teacher to support students in a differentiated manner, and allows students to practice new skills and build on skills previously learned. Whole-Group Closure (estimated time 5-10 minutes)-This time should be used to bring closure to the day’s lesson. This may include a quick assessment of students’ learning. The above represents guidelines, but professional judgment should always be used when planning and instructing. 5467350381000How to Use the Literacy Curriculum MapsOur collective goal is to ensure our students graduate ready for college and career. This will require a comprehensive, integrated approach to literacy instruction that ensures that students become college and career ready readers, writers, and communicators. To achieve this, students must receive literacy instruction aligned to each of the elements of effective literacy program seen in the figure to the right.This curriculum map is designed to help teachers make effective decisions about what literacy content to teach and how to teach it so that, ultimately, our students can reach Destination 2025. To reach our collective student achievement goals, we know that teachers must change their instructional practice in alignment with the three College and Career Ready shifts in instruction for ELA/Literacy. We should see these three shifts in all SCS literacy classrooms:(1) Regular practice with complex text and its academic language.(2) Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational.(3) Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction.Throughout this curriculum map, you will see high-quality texts that students should be reading, as well as some resources and tasks to support you in ensuring that students are able to reach the demands of the standards in your classroom. In addition to the resources embedded in the map, there are some high-leverage resources around each of the three shifts that teachers should consistently access:The Tennessee State ELA StandardsThe Tennessee State ELA Standards (also known as the College and Career Ready Literacy Standards): can access the Tennessee State Standards, which are featured throughout this curriculum map and represent college and career ready student learning at each respective grade level.Shift 1: Regular Practice with Complex Text and its Academic LanguageStudent Achievement Partners Text Complexity Collection: can learn more about how to select complex texts (using quantitative, qualitative, and reader/task measures) using the resources in this collection. Student Achievement Partners Academic Word Finder: can copy and paste a text into this tool, which then generates the most significant Tier 2 academic vocabulary contained within the text.Shift 2: Reading, Writing and Speaking Grounded in Evidence from the TextStudent Achievement Partners Text-Dependent Questions Resources: can use the resources in this set of resources to craft their own text-dependent questions based on their qualitative and reader/task measures text complexity analysis.Shift 3: Building Knowledge through Content-Rich Non-fictionStudent Achievement Partners Text Set Projects Sequenced: can use this resource to learn about how to sequence texts into “expert packs” to build student knowledge of the world.Read Alouds, Shared Reading, Guiding Reading to planning interactive read alouds. can use this resource to learn about the components of a Balanced Literacy Program. Literacy Work Stations can learn about why literacy workstations are important for Balanced Literacy, and gain tips for setting up literacy workstations. library provides teachers with effective, research-based classroom strategies to help build and strengthen literacy skills in print awareness, phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing. Each strategy in the library includes instructions on how to use the strategy, downloadable templates, examples, recommended children's books to use with the strategy, differentiation for second language learners, students of varying reading skill, students with learning disabilities, younger learners and supporting research.Additional Phonemic Awareness/Phonics Resources each grapheme, this App offers the multisensory experience of: Hearing the corresponding phoneme and key word; Watching a video clip showing the articulation of the phoneme; Practicing the phoneme with a voice recording/playback option. this article, the authors provide guidelines for determining the accessibility phonics and word recognition programs. HYPERLINK "" \t "_blank" section provides information about how to teach children to sound out words, and what to do if a child is having difficulty linking letters and sounds.Using the Curriculum Maps, Grades K-2Begin by examining the selected text(s). Read the text carefully and consider what topic or content students should learn from reading the text. Then, review the aligned essential question and culminating task for your topic focus for the week. Review the target Reading Foundational Skills resources to internalize the weekly outcomes for students. At this grade band, foundational skills and language comprehension are of equal importance and need to be addressed fully every day.Locate the TDOE Standards in the left column and the aligned evidence statements. Analyze the language of the standards and consider how the text supports the listed reading standards. Note that Reading Anchor Standard 1 and Reading Anchor Standard 10 are not included in the curriculum maps, but should be addressed every week, as students should consistently be reading rigorous grade-level texts and citing evidence when writing or speaking about the text: CCR Reading Anchor Standard 1: Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the R Reading Anchor Standard 10: Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently.Consult your Journeys Teachers’ Edition (TE) and other cited references to map out your week(s) of instruction.Plan your weekly and daily objectives, using the evidence statements and sample objectives as a guide. Be sure to plan your own objectives to meet the needs of your students. As a reminder, while lesson and unit objectives should be aligned to grade-level standards, standards and objectives are not synonymous and standards mastery develops over time (not in a single lesson). Consistent with Teach 1-4 of the TEM, teachers/teams are expected to carefully develop literacy learning objectives that carefully consider the text, target (standard, objective), task, and learner (including assessment of/for learning). Study the suggested performance assessments in the right-hand column, and match them to your objectives. Consider which tasks best target the essential question and content for the week, as well as alignment to standards. When planning for the reading of a text, plan the questions you will ask each day using these three types of questions: those that derive general understanding, those that address craft and structure, and those that elicit an overall meaning of the text. Be sure that the questions you ask will lead students to better understand the text and lead to success on your selected performance assessments. They should also build toward your essential question. Remember at this grade band, complex texts need to be addressed through a read aloud or shared reading, as students have not fully mastered decoding skills well enough to tackle complex text on their own.Examine the other standards and skills you will need to address—writing, language skills, and speaking and listening skills. Review the suggested vocabulary for explicit instruction as listed in the map in addition to the words listed in the TE.Consider how you will support building student knowledge through supplemental reading, content, research, and/or writing around the topic for the week. If a TWAG (Two-Weeks at a Glance) outline is available, review how the two weeks work together to build knowledge.Remember to include differentiated activities for small group instruction. When planning keep in mind that foundational skills are taught both explicitly and implicitly. Also keep in mind that that the reading foundations strand includes print concepts, phonological awareness, phonics and word recognition and fluency. To help guide your instruction the maps include a weekly Reading Foundations section in all K-2 maps. This section contains a five-day plan for foundational skills instruction. For further support on foundational skills instructional practices see the following links: at a Glance (TWAG) OutlinesBeginning in the 2016-17 school year, the SCS curriculum maps will include six or more “TWAG outlines” throughout the year in each grade. These outlines demonstrate how to spend two weeks digging deeply into a high-quality, complex anchor text from the Journeys series in order to build student knowledge around the topic of the story. By studying a high-leverage topic over two weeks, students will have more opportunities to grow their knowledge and vocabulary, while simultaneously building their literacy skills. The curriculum map will align to the TWAG outline, but the full outline will be found in the Appendix to the map. It is important to note that while the map will skip some texts in Journeys to build in time for the TWAG outlines, teachers should continue with the foundational skills strand as outlined in the text and the maps. The foundational skills strand follows a systematic, research based progression, and it is highly recommended that teachers use that progression to guide their instruction. SCS teachers and coaches in partnership developed TWAG outlines with Student Achievement Partners and other districts across the country. For further information regarding grade level TWAGs see the following: Texts WeeksIn further efforts to build knowledge in harmony with literacy shift 3, Extended Text Weeks have been added to the maps. Like the TWAG, Extended Text Weeks allow more time to dig deeply into a high-quality, complex anchor text from the Journeys series. In order to build student knowledge around the topic of the anchor text, links to a variety of text/media have been included. By studying a high-leverage topic over two weeks or more, students will have more opportunities to grow their knowledge and vocabulary, while simultaneously building their literacy skills.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. Strands of MPIs related to the domain of Reading are provided and linked to the corresponding set of CCR standards. By referencing the provided MPIs and those MPIs within the given links, teachers can craft "I can" statements that are appropriately leveled for ELLs (and struggling readers) in their classrooms. Additionally, MPIs can be referenced for designing new and/or modifying existing assessments.Key Terms:Fluency: The ability to read a text accurately and quickly. When fluent readers read silently, they recognize words automatically. They group words quickly to help them gain meaning form what they read. Fluent readers read aloud effortlessly and with expression. Their reading sounds natural, as if they are speaking.Academic Language or Vocabulary: The language of schools and books – language that is used across many domains and topics. Students do not learn academic language in everyday social situations. As students read extensively over time, they develop academic language. This language helps them to read more complex texts.Foundational Skills: The Foundational Skills are focused on developing students’ understanding and working-knowledge of print concepts, phonological awareness, phonics and word recognition and fluency. These foundational skills are not an end in and of themselves; rather, they are necessary and important components of an effective, comprehensive reading program designed to develop proficient readers with the capacity to comprehend texts across a range of types and disciplines. Instruction should be differentiated: good readers will need much less practice with these concepts than struggling readers will. Text Complexity: A tool used in evaluating student readiness for college and careers. There are three equally important components of text complexity: qualitative, quantitative, and reader and task.Evidence Statements: Statements taken directly from the standards. The standards contain multiple skills. Because the evidence statements usually divide each standard into individual skills, the statements can be used to support the crafting of objectives. It is important to note that although sample objectives are embedded in the map, teachers must still craft their own objectives based on the needs of their individual classes.Essential Questions: Specific questions to the text(s) and often summarize the “big understanding” of what students should receive from the text or texts for the lesson. They are open-ended questions that do not have a single, final correct answer, and often call for higher-order thinking and are not answered by recall. Answers to the essential question will require support and justification from the text.Skills Based and Meaning Based CompetenciesIn early grade classrooms especially, there is a need for both skills based and meaning based competencies. Both types of instruction are equally important– instruction focused on reading foundational skills and instruction focused on building knowledge and vocabulary. K-2 Foundational SkillsBeginning in the 2nd semester of the 2016-17 school year, the K-2 curriculum maps will include daily activities under the subheading Foundational Skills. This addition is meant to highlight the recommended daily phonemic awareness/phonic activities called out in the Journeys curriculum. Additionally, this new section outlines the importance of explicitly teaching foundational skills daily. The daily lessons noted in the maps contain the gist of the information found in the Journeys teacher edition. For more detailed information see the teacher’s edition pages referenced. It is important to note that foundational skills instruction requires differentiation and attention to students’ individual needs. For this reason it is often delivered in small groups, it may also be integrated across the literacy block, which would include whole group instruction. In the early grades, different types of texts are used for different purposes. The decodable texts align with skills based competencies and are meant to help students build automaticity. Complex texts align with meaning based competencies and support students in building knowledge. Both text types are outlined below: Our comprehensive plan for improving literacy suggests the use of the Gradual Release of Responsibility Learning Model (GRR). In the Gradual Release of Responsibility learning model, the responsibility for task completion shifts gradually over time from the teacher to the student. To gradually release responsibility is to equip students with what they need to be engaged and self-directed learners. Teachers may find through checks for understanding that they need to revisit the ‘I do’ and/or ‘We do’ instructional phase before releasing the responsibility to the students. Therefore, it is not expected that teachers will move through all four stages during every single lesson.
