The use of multiple sources of data and information has been a characteristic of the MSIP review process from its inception. All data used for the Resource standards (1.1-5.2) are derived either from Core Data or from supplemental information provided directly from the district. Data or information related to the Process standards (6.1-8.13) is derived from Team Members 9 Observations; Interviews; Advance Questionnaires completed by teachers, support staff, parents, students, board members, counselors, librarians, administrators, and district administrators; documentation provided by the district; and, the District 9s Response to the Standards (DRS). Parts of the District Response to the Standards are incorporated into the report as cverbatim d responses (responses written exactly as submitted by the district). Verbatim responses can always be identified because they have been italicized in the report. These responses have not been edited although they may have been shortened to fit within the available space in the report 9s database . In the Performance standards (9.1-11.2), the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) data and the ACT data are based on student scores and come directly from the publishers of these tests. Districts, through the Core Data submission process, provide all dropout, attendance, college course, vocational course, vocational placement and college placement data and grade point average (elementary districts only).

PRELIMINARY REPORT 24 KANSAS CITY (048-078) PRELIMINARY REPORT JUNE 6, 2008 PROCESS REPORT INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN AND PRACTICES REPORT 6.1 The district implements written curriculum for all its instructional programs. 6.1.1 Curriculum and Assessment Evaluation 1. A review of the district 9s curriculum indicates the following: The Kansas City curriculum relies heavily on the Grade Level Expectations. Math and communication arts curricula reviewed are cross referenced to the Process Standards. Content Standards are inconsistently referenced. In communication arts and math, the Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) are used as the curriculum objectives, as they also are in science except for Chemistry. Simply transferring the Process Standard and Content Standard code for each GLE into curriculum guides does not ensure alignment. It is also noted that written curriculum for all courses in the three content areas reviewed was not submitted. Several courses at the high school level, specifically elective courses, did not have curriculum submitted. Measurable Learning Objectives The GLEs are used primarily as the learning objectives K-12 in all content areas. This practice creates some difficulty in the middle school and high school math curriculum when the GLEs do not lend themselves to objectives that are written in measurable terms. At these levels, many of the GLEs are too broad to be assessed practicably. For example: Algebra Objective #3 under Number and Operations N3C9: cApply all operations on real numbers. d This particular GLE can be defined differently at each grade level. Breaking it down per grade level according to the set of numbers being worked with makes it more assessable and therefore more measurable. As in math, in the communication arts and science curricula, the GLEs are used as the measurable learner objectives. There was no evidence of clustering the GLEs into meaningful and measurable learner objectives. Assessments In all three reviewed curricula, there are no descriptions of specific assessments throughout the written documents. For example, listing a page number from a textbook, teacher guide or other resource is not an adequate description of an assessment. As a result, the quality and rigor of assessments K-12 could not be determined. It is also difficult to determine whether or not the objectives are adequately assessed. Learning Activities Learning activities describe what the students will be doing. In all three submitted content areas, the learner activities were absent K-12. It appears the resources listed may be intended to convey the learning activity. These resources were primarily textbook-driven. Such a listing does not provide evidence that there are learning activities which align with the objectives. As a result, the quality of the learner activities cannot be determined from the curriculum documents. PRELIMINARY REPORT 25 KANSAS CITY (048-078) PRELIMINARY REPORT JUNE 6, 2008 Instructional Methods Instructional methods describe what the teachers will be doing to ensure that the students are practicing the learning activities in the way that they will be assessed. These methods include but are not limited to: good examples of scaffolded questions, modeling, guided practice and cooperative learning structures. In all three reviewed curricula, the instructional methods were absent K-12. As a result, the quality of the instructional methods could not be determined from the curriculum documents. It is difficult to identify the clarity of concepts and applications taught because, in most instances, the GLEs are used as the objectives. Lack of description and the level of performance expectations of the assessments throughout the curricula prohibit the determination of the quality of its internal alignment. Lack of description of the learning activities throughout the curricula prohibits the determination of the quality of its internal alignment. The resource sections of the curriculum document do not differentiate between student practice and/or assessment. In the reviewed curricula, the curriculum document format is consistent across grade levels K-12. However, the format is void of essential effective curriculum components. The absence of descriptions of the learning activities, assessments and instructional methods impedes implementation to guide student learning. The curriculum document primarily identifies the GLEs, the objectives, the Content and/or Process Standards, and the resources. The curriculum document does not allow teachers to include learning activities, assessments, and instructional methods. Distinct separation between the learning activities (what the students do) and the instructional methods (what the teachers do) leads to clearer alignment and ease of use. In math and communication arts, there are references to pacing guides (by quarter) and a scope and sequence for K-12 GLE coverage. However, lack of description and examples of activities and assessments in the curriculum document makes it difficult to determine the length of time needed to teach the objectives. When GLEs are taught in isolation, it is difficult for students to master all of the concepts in the time available. Curriculum writing necessitates that teachers either cluster or deconstruct GLEs into measurable objectives. For example, the number of object
