Calling all educators and administrators in the District of Columbia!
The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) is
embarking on a two-week project of unpacking the Common Core State
Standards to make them more accessible for educators throughout the
District. We are seeking participation of up to forty-five (45) K-12
District educators who (a) work in public schools or public charter
schools; (b) are a new educator or an experienced educator; (c) teach
any of the major content areas (e.g., ELA, math, sciences,
history/social studies, reading); and (d) work with students with
disabilities or students learning English as their second language.
Participants will engage in dissecting and interpreting the Common
Core State Standards and breaking-down some of the complexities of the
language and tasks. Educators will participate in the development of
an innovative tool that will include (a) the deconstructed standards,
(b) alignment with UDL principles, (c) incorporation of Bloom's
Taxonomy and Webb's Depth of Knowledge, and (d) supplemental
resources. The use of the tool will result in the development of a
lesson plan that is rigorous and relevant to students.
This 2-week project will begin July 28th and end August 8th. All
sessions will run from 9 AM to 3 PM. Applications are due by July
24th.
