Guiding Principles Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment
October 19 & 20, 2015
Share your work and thinking about identifying, teaching, and assessing Guiding Principles.
Sessions are 75 Minutes
Some questions we know districts are asking that you can help to answer:
Curriculum & Assessment:
1. Have you written your own high school or K-12 Guiding Principles? What process did you use? What
informed your work? What did you learn along the way?
2. Are you using the Maine Guiding Principles? How are you collecting evidence of student proficiency?
How is student proficiency being evaluated? What are you learning?
3. How are you connecting Guiding Principles to content areas? What are you learning?
4. How are you collecting evidence of student proficiency? How is evidence being evaluated?
5. How are you engaging students in collecting evidence of Guiding Principles proficiency?
6. How are you reporting Guiding Principles proficiency to parents? What have you learned about
effective reporting practices?
7. Are you confining student-collected Guiding Principles evidence to in-school work only or are students
allowed to provide evidence from outside of the school day? If you are expanding from where
evidence can be collected, how are you doing this?
Instruction:
8. What Guiding Principles-related instructional practices are teachers using? What are they learning
about effective practices?
9. How are students learning and applying:
 Habits of work
 Habits of mind
 Interpersonal communication skills
 Self-management skills
 Problem solving skills and processes
 Higher order thinking skills
10. What school-wide processes have you implemented to support all students in Guiding Principles
proficiency?
11. How does your school intervene or provide additional student support in Guiding Principles mastery?
