>>> >>> Nebraska is among the vast majority of states who have participated in the discussion of the Common Core Standards for reading and for mathematics. As part of the process of standards revision in Nebraska, the Nebraska standards are being aligned with the Common Core Standards. On November 27, 2012, NDE Curriculum and Instruction Administrator will provide an overview of the Common Core Standards. The following topics will be discussed:Understanding structure (Math and LA)Text complexity and implications? What does an assessment look like? How does it fit with College/Career Ready and 21st Century Skills? >>> >>> Providing clear learning goals and scales can help ensure effective lessons and that students are continually aware of their progress. Learn how Marzano's Proficiency Scales can be used to target instruction, link to assessment, be utilized in the grading process, and as a way to provide feedback. ESU SDA's own Mitzi Hoback, Suzanne Whisler, Lenny VerMaas and Toby Boss will provide training about the Marzano Model, proficiency scales, and their importance.
