  1. Parent Meeting

  2. Georgia Curriculums Otherwise known as Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

  3. Why is Georgia Making the change to CCGPS?

  4. Common Core State Mathematic Standards Initiative • State-led • Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) • National Governors Association (NGA)

  5. Why do we need common standards? Why now? Disparate standards Different skills Global competition Preparation for career/college

  6. Why is This Important for Students, Teachers, and Parents? College and work Consistent expectations Clear, focused guide

  7. Key Features of the Standards • Rigorous content with application • Evidence and research • Internationally benchmarked

  8. ELA Standards Advances • Complex texts, quality, range • Evidence that reading is anchored in the college and career readiness (CCR) standards. • Rich reading of literature as well as extensive reading in science, history/social studies, and other disciplines.

  9. Example of Grade 2-3 CurrentText Complexity Williams, Vera. A Chair for My Mother New York: Greenwillow Books, 1982. My mother works as a waitress in the Blue Tile Diner. After school sometimes I go to meet her there. Then her boss, Josephine, gives me a job too. I wash the salts and peppers and fill the ketchups. One time I peeled all the onions for the onion soup. When I finish, Josephine says, “Good work, honey,” and pays me. And every time, I put half of my money into the jar.

  10. Example of Grade 2-3 Common Core Grade Level Complexity MacLachlan, Patricia. Sarah, Plain and Tall New York: HarperCollins, 1985 From Chapter I I wiped my hands on my apron and went to the window. Outside, the prairie reached out and touched the places where the sky came down. Though the winter was nearly over, there were patches of snow everywhere. I looked at the long dirt road that crawled across the plains, remembering the morning that Mama had died, cruel and sunny. They had come for her in a wagon and taken her away to be buried. And then the cousins and aunts and uncles had come and tried to fill up the house. But they couldn’t. Slowly, one by one, they left. And then the days seemed long and dark like winter days, even though it wasn’t winter. And Papa didn’t sing.

  11. Informational Text(increased importance in Common Core)

  12. Mathematics • Focusstrongly where the Standards focus • Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades • Rigor: Require fluency, application, and deep understanding

  13. Common Core for Mathematics Standards for Mathematical Content • K-8 grade-by-grade standards organized by domain • 9-12 high school standards organized by conceptual categories Standards for Mathematical Practice • Describe mathematical “habits of mind” • Offer standards for mathematical proficiency: reasoning, problem solving, modeling, decision making, and engagement • Connect with content standards in each grade

  14. Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC)

  15. PARCC Timeline SY 2012-13 First year pilot/field testing and related research and data collection SY 2013-14 Second year pilot/field testing and related research and data collection SY 2014-15 Full administration of PARCC assessments Summer 2015 Set achievement levels, including college-ready performance levels SY 2010-11 Launch and design phase SY 2011-12 Development begins

  16. Additional Resources • PTA Parent’s Guide to Student Success http://www.pta.org/4446.htm • National PTA hosted a webinar for PTA presidents and other PTA leaders to learn more about the Guide and the Common Core State Standards. An archived version of this webinar is available online.
