State Context 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar • McCleary Decision and Implications – Legislative obligation to fully fund Basic Education • New Flexibility with ESEA Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Requirements effective in 2012-13 • WA Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project • New criteria for all districts starting with 2013-14 year • Statewide implementation of CCSS and assessment system transitions
Washington’s K-12 Learning Standards Landscape(CCSS-M, CCSS-ELA, EALRS, GLEs, PEs,) 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar
CCSS and NGSS (anticipated)Washington’s Implementation Timeline 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar
NGSS Key Next Steps: 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar • Key next steps once NGSS are finalized • Comparisons – external facilitation • Bias and Sensitivity process • Involve / Update key stakeholders – seek support and buy-in • Ed. Opportunity Gap Oversight and Accountability Commission • State Board of Education • CCSS Steering Committee • CARC • Education Associations • Legislature
NGSS Key Next Steps, cont. 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar • Transition Planning • In context and in conjunction with CCSS 3-year transition plans and partnerships • In light of NGSS shifts • In light of the foundations we have to build on • Regional science and STEM activities and supports • Math Science Partnerships and other professional development resources
NGSS Key Next Steps, cont. 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar • Adoption process and authority • Superintendent Dorn has the sole authority to adopt • RCW 28A.655.070, Essential Academic Learning Requirements • RCW 28A.655.071, Common Core for ELA and Math • RCW 28A.655.068, Science • The following must be considered: • Results of comparisons and bias and sensitivity process • Stakeholder input • Legislative involvement • No light – silence • Green light • Yellow light • Red light
CCSS Assessment System Transitions • Our change to Common Core is at the heart of assessment changes for ELA and Math • NCLB requires states to assess state standards • We’ve changed standards so we need to change assessments • What we change to is our choice • Smarter Balanced is where we are headed for ELA and Math • IMPT: There are currently no assessment consortia established for Science • Graduation requirements are a state’s choice • Supt Dorn is proposing reduced graduation requirements • ESEA Waiver changes expectation that all students are proficient next year (2014) – it gives us more time and more individualized school-based goals 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar
A Balanced Assessment System for the CCSS – ELA and Math Summative: College and career readiness assessments for accountability Teachers and schools have information and tools they need to improve teaching and learning Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness All students leave high school college and career ready Formative resources: Supporting classroom-based assessments to improve instruction Interim: Flexible and open assessments, used for actionable feedback 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar

Transition Supports for the“WHAT” and the “HOW” 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar
Our guiding beliefs and approach for CCSS Implementation in WA 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar 2-Prongs: • The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators) • Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content. • The How: System “Remodeling” • Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take place top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…” • Belief that districts across the state have the conditions and commitment present to engage wholly in this work. • Professional learning systems are critical
2012-13 CCSS Implementation Resources & Activities 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar
The “What”: Common Core ELA and Math Shifts • Shifts in ELA • Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational texts in addition to literature • Reading and writing grounded in evidence from the text • Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary These apply to content area (social studies, science, and technical subject) teachers as well as to English teachers. • Shifts in Mathematics • Focus: 2-3 topics focused on deeply in each grade • Coherence: Concepts logically connected from one grade to the next and linked to other major topics within the grade • Rigor: Fluency with arithmetic, application of knowledge to real world situations, and deep understanding of mathematical concepts 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar
The “How”: System Remodeling 1. What do all students need to know and be able to do as a result of the CCSS? 3. How do we design a professional learning system to support them? 2. What do the adults in the system need to know and be able to do to support all students? 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar

CCSS Implementation Timeline – through a district lens 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar
Where to Start…FIRST: Phase 1 – CCSS Exploration and Awareness Among… • District leaders and leadership teams • Building leaders and building teams Immerse yourself in and learn about… • The WHY - The background and vision of the CCSS • The WHAT - The major CCSS shifts in ELA and Math • The HOW – • Our state’s approach toward supporting implementation • Emerging resources and support systems National Resources: • “Action Briefs” for Building Leaders from Achieve (HANDOUTS) • Elementary, Secondary, School Counselors • http://www.achieve.org/publications/implementing-common-core-state-standards-role-school-counselor-action-brief 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar

NEXT: Consider Phase 2 within your Building Context Start the transition by Setting the Course! • Identifying a core group of leaders (across grades and subjects) as a lead CCSS implementation team • Take stock of current instructional practices, strengths, and challenges • Establish a shared vision that will guide CCSS implementation with all students and educators – what will it mean for your district/building? • Developing District-Specific CCSS Implementation Plans • Use the CCSS District Readiness Assessment to inform transition planning • Access Achieve and Learning Forward materials to inform professional learning • Establish short and long term goals to begin moving forward 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar
What should educators be doing to implement CCSS? • Use the 3-year transition plan and resources as a guide • Attend ESD trainings on the CCSS aligned our transition plan • Take time to collaboratively learn the CCSS in the transition areas • Read and re-read the CCSS • Look at examples on the Illustrative Math Project webpage • Study relevant Progression document • Link content standards to the Big Ideas (ELA) and the Mathematical Practices • Understand the relationships between topics and grades • Look for opportunities to incorporate the CCSS in the classroom 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar

KY Professional Learning Taskforce Report, 2012 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar “Professional learning is a comprehensive, sustained, and intensive approach to increase student achievement that strengthens and improves educators’ effectiveness in meeting individual, team, school, district, and state goals. Professional learning is not an isolated event or a set of events; rather it is ongoing, relevant, job-embedded learning for educators at all stages of career development. Professional learning supports educators in meeting and exceeding standards of performance, implementing new initiatives, and refining professional practice to increase student achievement.”
Top of Mind Issue:Instructional Materials A changing landscape that requires a new approach 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar
What about instructional materials? 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar NOW • Overall quality that attends to the major shifts within the standards And • Deeper connections within the content • Integrated high leverage instructional practices that allow every student access to the CCSS within the instructional materials Versus…. THEN • Standard-by-Standard alignment • Unique supports for special populations of students
