PARCC Transition and Implementation Support Webinar #1 July 28, 2011 2:30 pm EST www.PARCConline.org
Today’s Agenda • Full Group Conversation of State Progress • Small Group Breakouts • Communications and Stakeholder Engagement • Execution of the work and Monitoring Routines • Governance and Structure • Wrap-Up and Upcoming Meetings
Why Do We Need an Implementation Timeline/Strategic Plan? • In many states, there are more moving pieces than ever before happening concurrently: Coordination is essential • Look across the areas of work and funding to consider how they interact • Faster is not better: What matters most is being thoughtful, realistic, and comprehensive • Implementation will depend on state/district needs and capacity • Detail is important: Year-by-year is not enough • Communicate your timeline publicly: This effort is too large and complex for “whisper down the lane”
What Might a Timeline/Strategic Plan Include? • Foundational Elements (e.g. establish leadership team, build guiding coalition, develop communications plan) • Align Instructional Materials • Train educators and administrators • Transition assessment system • Transition technology to support assessment and accountability systems • Align teacher preparation, evaluation and licensing programs • Align the transition space between K-12 and postsecondary • Monitor and sustain progress
State Example: Recent Progress in New Jersey Jeff Hauger, Director, Office of Assessments and Mary Jane Kurabinski, Director, Office of Literacy
Opportunity for Additional State Sharing • Where are you in your timeline development? • What have you changed, added, or removed? • What has become more refined? • Is there an iterative process for continual review and modification of your timeline?
Transition to Break-out Rooms • Room #1: Communications and Stakeholder Engagement • Margaret Horn, Vice President, State Leadership and Policy Development, Achieve • Room #2: Execution of the work and Monitoring Routines • Stephen Pruitt, Vice President, Content, Research and Development, Achieve • Main Room (breakout #3): Governance and Structure • Marie O’Hara, Research Associate, Content, Research and Development, Achieve
Wrap Up • Do you have specific questions for other states that would be instructive as you continue to develop your state’s timeline? • Are there specific areas of work where you think your state’s plan/timeline would benefit from learning from other states?
