​Step #1 – Code the standards according to the IDOE      
ISTEP+ Blueprint ~ I.A.S. Critical Content:

·        √+  Critical – Spend 50% -75% of Instructional Time
·        √    Important – Spend 25% - 50% of Instructional Time
·        √-   Additional – Spend 5% - 10% of Instructional Time
IMPORTANT:  Standards marked with an “*” may be assessed on ISTEP+ Part 1 and in Part 2; therefore, make sure that students have mastered them prior to taking ISTEP+ Part 1.

Step #2 – Review the Matrix Data
  • First, look at Matrix Data Report– Look at the
            non-green columns and ask yourself, “Did I teach it yet?”
  • Next, Use the Matrix Data to Cross Reference with the
            IDOE ISTEP+ Blueprint
  • Is the standard assessed in Acuity heavily weighted?
            Is it asked multiple times on the CCR Assessment, and is               it tagged as a “√+ Critical – Spend 50% -75% of            
            Instructional Time” on the IDOE ISTEP+ Blueprint?
  • If the answer is “Yes”, then determine when you will
            teach it to mastery before Part 2 ISTEP+ begins. 
  • 70% of the points on ISTEP+ come from Part 2, and
           CCR-A Fixed Version Acuity is aligned to ISTEP+ Part 2!

Step #3 – Use the ISTEP+ Countdown Calendar to plan your instruction:
  • What skill/standard will you give support to each week for E/LA? for Math?
  • Plan 10 minute mini-lessons that will support the identified standards:
  • Teach the mini-lessons on Monday – Tuesday – Wednesday – Thursday, and on Friday give a mini-quiz.
  • Pull up specific questions from the Acuity Item Analysis report and use them to re-teach critical skills.
  • Use the Acuity Tutorials with your whole class on your classroom projector.
  • Create a positive team incentive programs – help kids to support kids!
  • Maximize all available Acuity Instructional Resources.

​      D.O.K. ~ Depth of Knowledge Questions 
​
Please continue to stress the importance of HOW we ask D.O.K. Level 2-3 questions of our students throughout the week.   While our weekly Reading Wonders assessments do a GREAT job of asking these kinds of questions, many of our students still need for our teachers to be teaching what those questions are looking for through excellent role modeling and thinking out loud!  We can be asking D.O.K. Level 2 - 3 kinds of questions of our kiddos daily- in all subjects…. no matter what grade...can and should be seeking these kinds of questions with great frequency. ~S. Switzer
