Cal-PASS (NJ1)
This project was coordinated and funded by the California Partnership for Achieving Student Success (Cal-PASS). Cal-PASS is a data sharing system linking all segments of education. Its purpose is to improve student transition and success from one educational segment to the next. Cal-PASS' standards deconstruction project was initiated by the faculty serving on the math intersegmental councils after reviewing data on student transition. A deconstruction process was devised by the participating faculty with suggestions from the San Bernardino County Unified School District math faculty (Chuck Schindler and Carol Cronk) and included adaptations of the work of Dr. Richard Stiggins of the Assessment Training Institute and Bloom's "Taxonomy of Educational Objectives" (B. S. Bloom, 1984,. Boston: Allyn and Bacon). The Algebra II, Geometry, and Pre-calculus deconstruction projects followed using the same procedure that was used for deconstructing Algebra I standards. This document represents a comprehensive review by K-16 faculty to deconstruct and align Pre-calculus standards. Appended are: (1) Developing Learning Targets for Geometry Standards (Deconstruction instructions); (2) Categorization of Educational Outcomes (Explanation and instructions); (3) Sample Teaching Item for Trigonometry Standard #7; (4) Sample Teaching Item for Trigonometry Standard #8; and (5) Sample Teaching Item for Trigonometry Standard #9.
Descriptors: Outcomes of Education, Articulation (Education), Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Trigonometry, Educational Objectives, Mathematics Curriculum, High School Students, Junior High School Students, Middle School Students, Mathematics Instruction, Academic Standards, State Standards, Data Collection, Program Descriptions, Alignment (Education), Educational Assessment, Student Evaluation, Prior Learning, Taxonomy, Mathematics Skills, Teaching Methods
