  2. Blue Ribbon Commission Report SBE’s Framework For Change NCDPI’s Response to Framework For Change

  3. Essential Standards Assessments Accountability

  4. PROJECT MAP 2010-11 Newer ACRE work streams connecting directly with teachers, leaders, parents and students Diverse communication strategies that memorably inform all stakeholders esp. students, parents, teachers, principals. Professional Development Communication & Change Management Tools and training, blending online and face-to-face learning experiences. Standards Assessment Accountability A revised model that includes measures of post-secondary readiness, robust, fair growth measures, revised reporting functions and motivates behavior that improves student outcomes. College and career-ready standards. A new set of academic standards benchmarked against the best national and international expectations. Summative Ongoing central work to revise standards, assessment and accountability Benchmark Formative A comprehensive assessment system with a focus on using assessments to improve instruction and fairly assess learning and instructional effectiveness. Newer work to deliver new standards, assessments and teaching tools Instructional Improvement System (IIS) User-friendly online platform to house and deliver teacher tools Newer work to build LEA capacity to implement online tools Instructional Technology and Infrastructure Initiatives

  5. Standards College and career-ready standards. A new set of academic standards benchmarked against the best national and international expectations. The goal is to set fewer, clearer and higher standards that, when achieved, ensure a student is ready for post-secondary education and work. Standards include Common Core in ELA and Math and NC Essential Standards in all other subjects. Curricular support resources will be developed to support the transition.

  6. Time Line

  7. Overview of the Common Core Initiative • State-led and developed Common Core Standards for K-12 in English Language Arts and Mathematics • Focus on learning expectations for students, not how students get there

  8. Similar Goals for Standards North Carolina’s Mandates Common Core “Essential” “Narrow” “Deep” “Rigorous + Relevant” “Readiness for College and Career” “Essential” ”Fewer, Higher, Clearer” ”Focused” ”Rigorous” ”Readiness for College and Career” “Enduring” “Measurable” “Clear and Concise” “Prioritized and Focused”

  9. Common Core Rationale • EquityStudents expectations the same regardless of where they live • College and Career ReadinessStudents need to be more than proficient • Comparability State results will be comparable through common assessments • Sharing of ResourcesThe ability to share instructional materials across state lines can improve practice • Economies of ScalePossible savings due to sharing of resources and assessments • Student MobilityStudents moving into and out of states will have the same standards

  10. June 3, 2010SBE Adoption of theCommon Core Standardswww.corestandards.org

  11. ELA Standards Advances • Text complexity • Balance of literature and informational texts • Direct link to college and work readiness • Literacy standards for science and social studies • Clear vertical progressions across grades

  12. Math Standards Advances • Focus in early grades on number (arithmetic and operations) to build a solid foundation in math • Evened out pace across the grades • High school math focus on using math and solving messy problems, similar to what would see in the real world • Problem-solving and communication emphasized

  13. Tools and training, blending online and face-to-face learning experiences to help educators increase effectiveness and transition to new standards and assessments. Included are the creation of instructional toolkits, NC Falcon formative assessment training modules, new standards roll-out, using data to make decisions and Response to Instruction. Professional Development

  14. Professional Development for Teachers and Leaders Tools & for Teachers and Leaders Professional Development Face-to-Face Online

  15. Professional Development “ A combination of online and face-to-face learning that includes different combinations of technologies, pedagogies, and contexts.” (Graham, 2006; Stacey & Gerbic, 2001; Garrison and Vaughn, 2008) Face to Face Virtual Online modules Professional Development System Virtual PLCs RESA Partnership Conferences Summer Institutes

  16. Assessment Summative Benchmark Formative A comprehensive assessment system with a focus on using assessments to improve instruction and assess learning and instructional effectiveness. Plan includes updated EOG and EOCs, a tool to build common benchmark assessments and a variety of formative assessment tools including progress monitoring tools, writing assessments, in-class formative assessment training, portfolio assessments and data tools to improve instruction.

  17. Next Generation Assessments • A comprehensive balanced assessment system • Updated EOG and EOCs (online, innovative item types, computer adaptive) • Tools to build common benchmark assessments and a variety of formative assessment tools • Data tools to improve instruction

  18. Comprehensive Balanced Assessment System • Formative Assessments: A process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to help students improve their achievement of intended instructional outcomes. • Formative Assessment includes: • Questioning • Discussions • Learning Activities • Feedback • Conferences • Interviews • Student Reflections • Summative Assessments: A measure of achievement to provide evidence of student competence or program effectiveness • Summative Assessment includes: • Selected Response Items • Multiple-Choice • True/False • Matching • Short Answer • Fill in the Blank • 1-2 Sentence Response • Extended Written Response • Performance Assessment Classroom Statewide, Benchmark, and Classroom

  19. Online EOCs and EOGs NC is moving towards online only assessments, accessed through the IIS (by 2014-2015). Online assessments will allow the state to incorporate technology-enhanced items and implement computer adaptive testing, which will allow for a more accurate assessment of student learning. Support for moving to online assessments includes working with LEAs/Charter Schools to ensure that schools have the logistical and technical knowledge and skills to move rapidly to an online testing environment and a Best Practices Guide for Online Assessments (July 2011).

  20. Online EOCs and EOGs • NOW: All EOCs are available online; All LEAs are expected to participate • 2012/2013: While all EOCs will be available online, the following assessments will be developed specifically for an online environment, some with technology-enhanced items. LEAs are encouraged to complete them online. • EOG Science at Grades 5 and 8 • NCEXTEND2 Science at Grades 5 and 8 • NCEXTEND2 Mathematics and ELA Grades 3-8 • EOC English I • EOC Algebra I • EOC Biology • NCEXTEND2 English I • NCEXTEND2 Algebra I • NCEXTEND2 Biology • 2014/2015: The plan is to have all EOCs/EOGs developed specifically for an online environment with limited use of an alternate paper and pencil version.

  21. Instructional Improvement System (IIS) Single, user-friendly online platform to house and deliver new tools, particularly the delivery of formative and summative assessments, provision of data analysis tools, delivery of professional development and instructional resources to teachers and establishment of online learning communities.

  22. Instructional Improvement System (IIS) • The IIS will be: • An online resource • An integrated repository of shared tools and applications • A tool to help educators improve instruction • A device to integrate data from multiple sources, including NC WISE

  23. IIS Tools Tools will be available for managing formative assessment, student work and organizing classroom activities. Student Artifact Repository for evidence of learning such as digital work, including documents, video files, photographs, etc. Classroom grouping, organization, and seating tools. Tools to document use of formative assessment such as teacher observations about student skill and behavior. Grade management tools, such as grade books, student work reports, etc. Classroom and Instruction Management Tools (potential tools)

  24. IIS Tools for Teachers The Educator Evaluation System will be available, with direct links to professional development modules. Leadership Respectful environments Content knowledge Facilitating learning Reflective practice Educator Evaluation System Professional Development Modules (e.g., NC FALCON)

  25. IIS Assessment Tools The assessment tool can be used to create classroom, grade, or LEA assessments. Test Generator High-quality Item Bank • Can be used with: • student response “clickers” • handheld devices • Assessments scored online, using: • artificial intelligence • scoring rubrics Secure item pool Non-secure item pool Teachers create assessments LEAs create assessments Variety of item types, including: open-ended technology-enhanced multiple-choice scenario-based 3/12/2014
