1WELCOME!Total Instructional Alignment(TIA)(B
ased on the work of Lisa Carter)
2- Diamond Reflection
- I came expecting
3- Purpose
- Logistics
- Agenda
- Cell phones off or on vibrate
4- Intended Outcomes-TIA
- Understand three components of Total
Instructional Alignment and how they all fit
together. - Understand Total Instructional Alignment and be
able to use alignment document/pacing guide to
develop units/lessons. - Understand the power of collaborative processes
and be able to collaboratively design lessons. - Products from participation in the range of
learning experiences throughout the day will
provide evidence that the intended outcomes have
been met.
5- Table-Talk Roles
- Facilitator
- Keeps the group on task
- Makes sure everyone has a chance to participate
- Recorder
- Writes down key points on newsprint
- Spelling and handwriting dont count in round one
- Write quickly to keep up with ideas

discussion - Runner
- Gathers/distributes materials as needed
- Reporter
- Synthesizes, with the help of group members, key
points and summarizes them for the whole group
6Decision Making Consensus Review Consensus
Step-By-Step process in your materials.
- In what situations is consensus the most
appropriate decision-making tool? - Why not just vote?
7Decision Making Consensus
- Everyone can live with the decision
- Establish and use evaluative criteria
- Accept conflict as part of the process
- Encourage negotiation and collaboration
- Emphasize fact over opinion

- What is that we want our students to learn?
- How will we know they have learned and learned
well? - How will we respond to those students that have
not learned? - How will we challenge those that have learned?
12Overview of Total Instructional Alignment (TIA)
- Lisa Carter Video
- Alignment of the System
- Alignment of the Curriculum and Assessments
- Alignment of the Instructional Practices
- in the Classroom
13 What is Total Instructional
Alignment (TIA) ?
It is making sure that What we are teaching, What
we are assessing and How we are teaching are
congruent.

20Unpacking the Frameworks
- Lisa Carter Video
- Blooms Taxonomy
- (L. Carter materials page 6-7)
21Unpacking the Frameworks
- Lisa Carter Video
- Constructing a
- Learning Objective
- Z Chart
- (L. Carter materials page 9-11)
22Practice Constructing a Learning Objective
- Divide chart paper into 4 sections list
everything you recall that goes in each of the
four boxes. When completed, compare with two
other tables. (6 minutes)

23Practice Constructing a Learning Objective
- (L. Carter materials)
- For the Learning Objectives listed on this page,
write (on large chart paper) in Z-square format,
the corresponding word/phrase in each of the 4
boxes. - (5 minutes)
- Check your work!
- Compare to table next to you.
- Questions?
24Practice Constructing a Learning Objective
- W.4.3.11 Edit for spelling of appropriate words,
usage, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence
structure. - (Format on Page 11 L. Carter materials)
- Use large chart paper put the corresponding
words/phrases in each Z-Chart box. Is this a
clear learning objective? If not, then rewrite
as a learning objective. - Post then Facilitator Carousel
25Unpacking the Frameworks
- Lisa Carter Video
- Task Analysis
- (L. Carter materials page 12)
26Task Analysis
- 4 steps to
task analysis - Formulate the objective if the state wrote the
- SLE as a statement then rewrite the SLE as
- an objective
- Clarify the objective are you clear on what the
- objective is telling you
- 3. What are all the thing the students would have
- to know and be able to do to be successful
- 4. Put these in a logical order- sequence
27Practice Task Analysis
- Complete a Task Analysis
- for the example on page 13
- (L. Carter Handout)
- OR
- one of the examples on page 14.
- Follow the steps on page 12.
- Begin each task with a MEASURABLE verb.

29Unpacking the Frameworks
- SLE Alignment Activity
- Math Teams
- Literacy Teams
- (HINT-be sure there is an ELA teacher on each of
the secondary teams!) - Baggie of ELA SLEs per team
- Group consensus on alignment SLEs
- Glue SLEs to on the agreed upon grade-level
chart - Pick up correct alignment sheet and count up
number your team has correct - How many teams with 100?
30- Rotate Table-Talk Roles
- Facilitator
- Keeps the group on task
- Makes sure everyone has a chance to participate
- Recorder
- Writes down key points on newsprint
- Spelling and handwriting dont count in round one
- Write quickly to keep up with ideas
- Time Keeper
- Periodically reminds team members of time
constraints - Keeps team meetings focused on the tasks at hand
- Identifies when more time is needed for
discussion - Runner
- Gathers/distributes materials as needed
- Reporter
- Synthesizes, with the help of group members, key
points and summarizes them for the whole group
31TIA Document
- Review the TIA document
- Look at each objective and consider the task
analysis- is there anything you cant live with? - Look at the verbs used in the task analysis- what
level of Blooms? - Are you okay with where this falls in the scope
of the year?

Degree of Learning Time Spent Time Needed
37What Affects Time Spent?
- Assemblies
- Discipline issues
- Student absences
- Teacher absences
- Scheduling issues
38What Affects Time Needed?
- Student background knowledge
- Resources/teacher strategies use
- Vertical alignment
- Student/teacher attitude and motivation
39What We Know Students come to us with a
variance of knowledge and skill level. Students
learn at different rates. Learning is an
incremental process.
40What We Do Group students for instruction based
on chronological age. Give all students the same
amount of time to learn the same amount of
content.
