  1. Introduction to the Common Core State Standards Sandy Christie PSESD

  2. Make your own title……share at your tables

  3. Jot down (for discussion later) • Things you find important • Questions you have

  4. Learning Targets • Be aware of the goals and history of the Common Core State Standards • Become acquainted with the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium • Understand the structure of the CCSS • Make connections with the “practices” for Mathematics, ELA, and Science

  5. Implementing the Common Core State Standards in Washington State Our Vision: Every student will have access to the CCSS standards through high quality instruction aligned with the standards every day; and that all English language arts and mathematics teachers are prepared and receive the support they need to implement the standards in their classrooms every day. Our Purpose: To develop a statewide system with aligned resources that supports all school districts in their preparation of educators and students to implement the CCSS. This includes building system-wide capacity for sustained professional learning that can support CCSS implementation now and be applied to other initiatives in the future. Our Core Values: This vision can only occur through core values of clarity, consistency, collaboration, coordination, and commitment from classrooms, schools, and communities to the state level. OSPI CCSS Mathematics Webinar - Part 3

  6. July 20, 2011 Washington confirmed its commitment to student success with the adoption of Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

  7. Who else has adopted?

  8. CCSS : A Nation-Wide Answer to the Questions • What should kids learn? • What should teachers teach? • What can parents, colleges, and workplaces expect kids to know?

  9. Goals of Common Core • National standards that provide consistency for mobile students • Equity of access

  10. Goal of Common Core • Educators, students, and parents have a shared understanding of a set of clear educational standards and what is expected of students

  11. Goal of Common Core • Consistent academic framework for preparing students for success in college and work

  12. What Did we Get? • Two sets of standards K-12 • English – Language Arts & Literacy includes integrated reading and writing standards for History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects • Mathematics • Created by nationally recognized experts in each field

  13. Where did they come From? • State-led Effort coordinated by • National Governors' Association (NGA) • Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) • A national set of standards but not a federal government product or directive • Written by a consortium of content experts, teachers, and administrators • Why now and not before? • Race To the Top educational reform being funded by the U.S. Department of Education

  14. What does This mean? • Economy of scale for “stuff” • Assessments • Materials • Resources • Extensions • Enrichments • Software • Etc.

  15. What does This mean ? • Focus was on narrowing the amount taught – and deepening those concepts • Provide time to work to mastery

  16. What is CCSS Not? • Does not dictate curriculum or teaching method • Does not dictate the order or sequence within a grade level • Does not define intervention methods or materials

  18. Timeline for adoption/assessment

  19. Washington’s Context…Proposed Summative Assessments in 2014–15 OSPI CCSS Mathematics Webinar - Part 3

  20. Turn and Talk with partner • Share what you thought was important – so far • Questions that were answered for you • Questions you would still like answered

  21. TIME FOR A LOOK AT FUN! • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7IvegYtyDw

  22. New Assessment System: What We Know So Far SMARTER Balanced Assessment System

  24. Why

  25. Who

  26. How

  27. Promised

  28. Time and format • Summative: For each content area - ELA & Math • Computer Adaptive Testing • Selected response (MC), Constructed Response (open-ended), Technology enhanced (e.g., drag and drop, video clips, limited web-interface) • Paper/pencil summative offered for three years (transition period) • Performance Tasks (like our CBAs) • Up to 2 per content area in grades 3-8 • Up to 6 per content area in High School OSPI CCSS Mathematics Webinar - Part 3

  29. Time and format • Summative: - Administration window is last 12 weeks of school - For each content area - ELA & Math • Shorter option for states (~3 hours ELA, ~2 hours Math) • Scale score on comprehensive test (met/not met determination) • Longer option for states (~5 hours ELA, ~3 hours Math) • Able to report data on claims for individual students OSPI CCSS Mathematics Webinar - Part 3

  32. Turn and Talk with partner Share what you thought was important – so far Questions that were answered for you Questions you would still like answered

  33. Resources for Implementation • All things Common Core – in the state of Washington http://www.k12.wa.us/CoreStandards/ • All things Common Core – Nation wide http://www.corestandards.org/ • Latest news, tools, thinking by the top “guys” http://commoncoretools.wordpress.com

  35. Shifts and Organization of Common Core State StandarDs

  36. Major Shifts in Mathematics • Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus • Coherence: Think across grades and link to major topics • Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application

  37. Domains, not strands

  38. Building a foundation

  39. Organization of the CCSS-M document • Critical areas of focus for each grade level – located in the beginning paragraph for each grade level K-8 • Domainsare large sections of related clusters. • Clusters are groups of related standards – with a “cluster heading” statement • Standards define what students should understand and be able to do.

  40. Critical Areas of Focus - sample Mathematics | Kindergarten (CCSS-M page 9) In Kindergarten, instructional time should focus on two critical areas: (1) representing, relating, and operating on whole numbers, initially with sets of objects; (2) describing shapes and space. More learning time in Kindergarten should be devoted to number than to other topics.
