College and Career Competency Framework: Translating Research for Multiple Audiences We can likely agree that intra and interpersonal skills such as self-regulation, self-efficacy, networking and empathy are important for success in-school and post-school, but do you know research-based strategies for improving these competencies in middle and high schools? The College and Career Competency (CCC) Framework (Gaumer Erickson and Noonan, 2012) provides a framework to systematically teach intra and interpersonal competencies with an MTSS, embedding instruction and guided practice in core content and school-wide. Through establishing a strong core of social and emotional competency instruction, we work to support all students in developing these critical competencies. During this session, you will learn about the Framework, in addition to the CCC Wheel, Teacher Guides, Padlets, Questionnaires, and Family Guides to illustrate the development of a common vernacular and development of user-friendly, quality materials with similar information translating for a variety of users. Professional development on the CCC Framework is provided through the SPDG-funded Vermont virtual academy, and on-site professional development is provided through the State Departments of Education in Missouri, Arizona, and Kansas.

A Statewide Common Formative Assessment System Missouri has developed learning packages for educators on Common Formative Assessment (CFA) and using the CFA data to drive instructional decision making. Through a better understanding of this data collection process and the quantification of this assessment data, educators have been trained to use cycles of measurement and assessment to demonstrate what students have learned. Coaches across the state work with school teams to verify the data cycles are being implemented with fidelity. Lastly, Missouri has developed a system of sharing these data cycle results between the school, their regional professional development center, and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Presenters: Ronda Jenson, Director of Research, University of Missouri, Kansas City Carla Williams, Research Associate, University of Missouri, Kansas City Strand: Coaching, Systems Alignment System Level: State |
