  2. Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Overview

  3. Timeline of Standardized Testing CA adopts CA Content Standards http://www.ascd.org/ASCD/images/publications/books/armstrong2006_fig1.1.gif

  4. California Standardized Testing 1961: Required instructional standards throughout the state; mandated statewide examinations. 1962-1971: State-approved list of published tests. 1972: California Assessment Program (CAP). 1993: California Learning Assessment Systems (CLAS). 1997: Standardized Testing and Reporting Program (STAR). 1999: California Standards Tests (CSTs). 1999: ELA and math (augmented items from Stanford Achievement Test- SAT/9). 2001: History-social science and science (grades 9-11). 2004: Science (grade 5). 2006: Science (grades 8 and 10). 2001: California English Language Development Test (CELDT). 2003: California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). 2004: Standard-based Test in Spanish (STS). 2006: California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). 2008: California Modified Assessment (CMA).

  5. History of CCSS National State Governors Association Council of Chief State School Officers Tom Torlakson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Work groups and feedback groups composed of representatives from higher education, K–12 education, business community, researchers, civil rights groups, and the states. Ensure students have a seamless transition from high school to college. Builds on the standards-based process.

  6. Overarching Goals for K-12 CCSS • Ensure that our students are: • Meeting college and work expectations. • Prepared to succeed in our global economy and society. • Provided a vision of what it means to be an academically literate person in the twenty-first century. • Provided with rigorous content and applications of higher knowledge through higher-order thinking skills. • Provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn. • Enables teachers and parents to know what to do to help.

  7. Which States Have Adopted? http://www.corestandards.org/in-the-states

  8. California Adoption • "The California Common Core State Standards (CCSS) were adopted by the California State Board of Education on August 2, 2010, following rigorous review and augmentation by the California Academic Content Standards Commission." (O'Connell, 2010).

  9. What Do Employers Want? • Problem-Solving Skills • Quick Learners • Ability to Analyze/Interpret Data • Oral Communication Skills • Motivation • Self-Starter • Written Communication Skills • Job-Specific Computer Skills • Teamwork Attitude • Innovative Thinking

  10. What skills will your children need to know to be successful in the 21st century workforce?

  11. Mean Earnings by Level of Highest Degree (DOLLARS) 2010 CENSUS

  12. What’s Different? http://www.corestandards.org/assets/CCSSI_Math%20Standards.pdf “These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step. It is time for states to work together to build on lessons learned from two decades of standards based reforms. It is time to recognize that standards are not just promises to our children, but promises we intend to keep.” (CCSS, 2010, p.5)

  13. What Does English Language Arts and Literacy Focus On? Rigor Application of learning to real-world situations Technology and media sources Justification and evidence Communication/collaboration Expository reading and writing Research

  14. What Does Mathematics Focus On? • Conceptual understanding • Number sense in elementary • Multiple solutions • Justifying answer • Explaining your thinking • Success in algebra and higher-level mathematics • Application to real world situations NOT one right answer!

  15. Assessment • Assessments will begin in 2014-15. • California is a governing state in the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium. • Assessments will include the following: • Computer Adaptive Assessments (Interim and Summative) • Performance Assessments (Interim and Summative) • Selected Response • Constructed Response • Extended Performance Assessments • Retake Option (Summative)

  16. CST Released Test Questions Grade 4 - ELA Grade 9 - ELA

  17. SBAC Selected Response (SR)

  18. SBAC Constructed Response (CR) Key Data Systems

  19. SBAC Technology Enhanced (TE) Key Data Systems

  20. SBAC Performance Task(PT)

  21. Selected Response (SR) Items

  22. Non-Traditional (SR)

  23. How can families support their children in the transition to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)?

  24. Six Key Shifts in Literacy in Common Core

  25. “There are many dispositions that we want children to acquire and strengthen--- to be curious,creative, cooperative, friendly, helpful, and hard working. These dispositions, however, cannot be learned from instruction. Dispositions are probably learned primarily from being around people who have them and who exhibit them.” Lillian Katz, Professor Early Childhood Education University of Illinois
