The Synthesis System allows administrators and teachers to identify the instructional
interventions for a group of standards.
THE ALIGNING TOOL
Examples of groups of standards:
- All of the grade level standards/objectives for 3rd grade computation or a STRAND, i.e., What works for 3rd grade computation.
- Based on ASSESSMENT DATA, identify all of the grade
level standards/objectives in 3rd grade language arts on which the students scored
below expectations, i.e., What instructional strategies will make the MOST difference
on the areas of low performance in 3rd grade language arts.
- All of the grade level standards/objectives in 3rd grade language arts that are
the focus of improvement on the School Improvement Plan,
i.e., What instructional strategies will make the most difference in learning of
the student performance goals of the School Improvement Plan.
This powerful tool allows educators to ALIGN...
- STATE STANDARDS – What are the learning expectations
of students?
- ASSESSMENT RESULTS – Which standards are the focus
of student improvement?
- RESEARCH-BASED INSTRUCTION – What instructional
strategies will make the MOST difference in achievement in areas of low performance
on tests?
- PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – What should be the focus
of professional development targeted at student performance goals?
...with a process so unique that
it is PATENTED!
