  1. We need to prepare our students for 21st Century Learning in an information age with technology innovations that will be developed that we can not yet even imagine! Launching the Common Core State Standards

  2. How will teaching and learning change in the 21stCentury? http://youtu.be/yfpa9uTWdJE

  3. In order to prepare our students to become 21st Century Learners they need to master the skills needed for school and work known as the 4c’s. Communication Collaboration Critical Thinking Creativity

  4. 21st Century Skills and the 4c’s are infused in the Career and College Ready Standards which are the end goals of the Common Core Standards Each grade level Common Core Standard spirals with increasing difficulty from Kindergarten to Career and College Ready

  5. Career and College Ready Standard examples: • Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when reading or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. • Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence. • Prepare and participate effectively in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively. • Present information, findings, and supporting evidence such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning and the organization , development , and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. Look for evidence of the 4c’s in the Career and College Ready standards and discuss them with a partner.

  6. We will fully implement the Common Core State Standards in 2014-2015 We will take the new national test with Common Core Standards in Spring of 2015We have two years to make the transition!

  7. Council of Chief State School Officers and National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, teachers, school administrators, and experts worked together to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare students for college and workforce. • Standards adopted by most states. • Currently each state has its own set of standards; student expectations vary from state to state. Where did the Common Core standards come from?

  8. States could add up to 15% to the Common Core • California added standards to the Common Core to address perceived gaps and to ensure that the rigor of California’s existing standards would be maintained.

  9. How will the Common Core Standards be different? • Includes rigorous content and application of • knowledge through higher-order thinking skills • Performance-based collaborative activities and assessments • Integrated literacy across content areas including Science and Social Studies • Stronger emphasis on informational text, research and media skills

  10. Shifts in ELA Common Core Standards: • Staircase of complexity design, the standards build upon each other • A combination of literary and informational texts • Integration of Social Science and Science content knowledge • 3 types of writing: Informative/Explanatory, Narrative, and Opinion/Persuasive taught K-12 • Emphasis on academic vocabulary

  11. Distribution of Literacy and Informational Passages by Grade

  12. ELA Standards Organization • Reading for Literature (10 standards) • Reading for Informational Text (10 standards) • Foundation (4 standards – K-5 only) • Writing (10 standards) • Language (6 standards) • Speaking and Listening (6 standards)

  13. Each of the standard areas have substrands, for example in Reading for Literature and Information: • Key Ideas and Details • Craft and Structure • Integration of Knowledge and Ideas • Range of Reading and Level of Complexity. These substrandsare common for all grade levels. Breaking it down…..

  14. Focus-narrow and deepen the scope • Coherence connecting across grade levels • Fluency-speed and accuracy • Deep understanding • Application of concepts • Dual Intensity -practice and understand Shifts in Common Core Math

  15. K-12 Mathematical Practice Standards • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriate tools strategically. • Be precise. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeating reasoning. There are two sets of Standards in math: Math Domain Standards by grade level Open your binder to the Math Practice Standards on the blue sheet(s). This copy provide specific examples of what the practices look like at your grade level. Discuss with a partner how your math lessons could incorporate these practices.

  16. The Math Domain Standards are on the salmon colored pages in your binder. Standards that are underlined and bolded are the California additions. • The last sheet provides grade level Common Core Math Vocabulary. • The white pages are from North Caroline Department of Public Instruction .This tool deconstructs each standard to clarify what students need to know and be able to do to demonstrate mastery. • Math Domain • Standards • Counting and Cardinality (K only) • Operations in Algebraic Thinking • Number and Operations in Base Ten • Measurement and Data • Geometry • Number and Operations-Fractions (grades 3-5) Peruse the Domain standards and deconstructed support tool. Discuss with a partner how the new standards compare to the content standards you teach now.

  17. New Common Core Assessments Who is creating them? SMARTER-Balanced Assessment Consortium Who else is using these tests? Currently 29 states What is the purpose? To develop a comprehensive and innovative assessment system for grades 3-8 and grade 11 in English Language Arts and Mathematics aligned to the Common Core Standards so that students leave high school prepared for post secondary success in college or a career. What will happen to CSTs? These tests will replace CST, CMA, and STS. We will take the last STAR assessments in the spring of 2014.

  18. Summative assessments aligned to College and Career Readiness Standards Computer adaptive Administered during last 12 weeks of school year Results will show achievement and growth Question types: 1. Selected Response 2. Constructed Response 3. Extended Response 4. Performance –Based Tasks 5. Technology-Enhanced 6. Technology-Enabled How will the National Assessments be different than the STAR?

  35. Common Core Transition Plan2011-12 was an Awareness Year The District provided with an overview to many groups including: • K-5 PLC Teacher Leaders • All Kindergarten Teachers • Special Ed PLC Leaders • Librarians • GATE Parent Advisory • School Board

  36. Transition Plan for 2012-13Site Level • Common Core Standards overview provided at all elementary sites today • Grade level specific training on the Mathematical Practice Standards tomorrow • 6 Common Staff meetings – Live! • Trimester 1: Mathematical Practice Standards and Number Talks • Trimester 2: Performance-Based Assessment • Trimester 3: Informational Writing

  37. Transition Plan for 2012-13 District Level • All PLC Leaders will attend a training on Rigorous Curriculum Design on September 10 • K-12 articulation to develop Essential Standards for ELA and Math in October • ELA and Math PLC Leaders will develop units and assessments with CCSS • PLC Writing Leaders will develop K-5 rubrics in the three types of writing in CCSS • Kindergarten Leaders will develop ELA and math units, assessments and revise report card • All Kindergarten teachers will attend a training with Nancy Fetzer in November on Common Core writing. In the spring, there will be a second training on the new essential standards, timelines, assessments, and units being developed. • Afterschool workshops will be offered on Informational Reading and Writing and Mathematical Practice Standards. These sessions will be telecast through the Live! program so you can attend via computer at your site.

  38. Transition Plan for 2013-14 • Implement CCSS math units and assessments • Implementation of CCSS writing • Implement Kindergarten ELA and Math units, assessments, and report cards • PLC Leaders will continue to develop ELA units for implementation in 2014-15

  39. There are Big Changes ahead and we will be ready! The next video clip illustrates how teaching and learning will change in the 21st Century using the 4c’s Collaboration + Communication + Critical Thinking+ Creativity Look for evidence of the 4c’s as you watch the video. Share the evidence you found with a partner after watching the video.

  40. Partnership for 21Century Learning presents: Above and Beyond

  41. Check for Understanding Selected Response: What are the 4c’s ? • Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, and Confusion • Communication with your Collaborative team on Critical Thinking and Common Core • Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking and Creativity Share your answer with your team!

  42. Constructed Response • Using the Math Practice Standards and the grade level Math Domain Standards, analyze how the 4c’s are reflected in the content. Compose a “Quick write” citing specific examples of standards that correlate to each skill. Share your writing with a partner.

  43. Performance-Based Assessment • Knowing the important role the 4c’s will play in 21st Century Learning how can you apply them in your daily instruction now? Share your thinking with your table group and collaborate on how you can purposefully including these important skills in your teaching.

  44. The Common Core Standards are an opportunity to transform how we teach our students to prepare them for the 21st Century • “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead How will you begin the change?
