  1. Mississippi Department of Education Common Core State Standards Mathematics and English/Language Arts Mississippi Educational Technology Leaders Association Spring Meeting May 5, 2011

  2. What is the CCSS Initiative? • An initiative of the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) • A significant and historic opportunity for states to collectively develop and adopt a core set of academic standards in Mathematics and English/Language Arts 2

  3. What are the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)? • Fewer, clearer, and higher • Aligned with college and work expectations • Rigorous content requiring higher-order thinking and application of knowledge • Evidence- and/or research-based • Internationally benchmarked 3

  4. CCSSO/NGA Process 4

  5. Sample from CCSS -Mathematics

  6. Common Core State Standards for Mathematics Key design considerations: • Individual grade levels in K-8 • Solid foundation for grades K-5 in whole numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals • Solid foundation for grades 6-8 in geometry, algebra, and probability and statistics

  7. MS Math 4th grade Competency 1 Objective i Recall multiplication and division facts. Competency 1 Objective f Model and identifyequivalent fractions. Mathematics Alignment Examples CCSS Math 3rd grade Page 23, 3.OA, #7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100. Page 24, 3.NF, #3a Understand two fractions as equivalent. Cont.

  8. Mathematics Alignment Examples CCSS Math 4th grade Page 31, 4.MD, #3 Apply the area formula for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems. MS Math 5th grade Competency 4 Objective c Use formula to estimate and calculate the area of a rectangle.

  9. Alignment of CCSS for Math and MS Math Framework • Initial alignment study done “in-house” and additional study done by SEDL • Overall alignment is not good -Many specifics in the CCSS are addressed in the MS Math Framework but at a lower grade level(s) -Several of the MS Math Framework objectives are not mentioned in the Common Core • CCSS for Math are more rigorous than the MS Math Framework 9

  10. Sample from CCSS English Language Arts Reading Standards for Informational Text K-5 RI

  11. Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Key design considerations: Sections divided by Strands for K-5 and 6-12 • Reading • Writing • Speaking and Listening • Language

  12. MS ELA 3rd grade Competency 2 Objective b, b1, b6 Analyze texts in order to identify, understand, infer, or synthesize information. -answer and generate questions -identify cause and effect as stated in text ELA Alignment Examples CCSS ELA 3rd grade Page 14, RI, #1 Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, explicitly using the text as the basis for the answers. Cont.

  13. ELA Alignment Examples CCSS ELA 3rd grade Page 21, W, #5 With guidance and support from peers and adults, strengthen writing as needed by revising and editing. MS ELA 3rd grade Competency 3 Objective a Use an appropriate composing process (e.g., planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing/sharing) to compose or edit.

  14. Alignment of CCSS English Language Arts (ELA) and MS ELA • Initial alignment study done “in-house” and additional study done by SEDL • Overall alignment isgood -Few specifics in the CCSS are not addressed in the MS ELA Framework or not addressed at the same grade level -Many of the MS ELA Framework objectives and sub-objectives are not mentioned in the Common Core • Rigor is comparable 14

  15. Common Core State Standards High School

  16. Common CoreHigh School Mathematics • CCSS Grade 8 is comparable to the current MS Algebra I course. • High school standards require students to practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world situations.

  17. Common CoreHigh School Mathematics High school standards are listed in conceptual categories : -number and quantity -algebra -functions -modeling -geometry -statistics and probability

  18. Common Core High School ELA • Individual grade levels for grades 6-8 • Two-year grade band for grades 9-10 • Two-year grade band for grades 11-12

  19. Common Core State Standards English Language Arts Section for grades 6-12: Literacy standards in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects

  20. Race to the Top (RttT) Assessment Proposals The Process: • Proposals were due from multi-state consortia on June 23, 2010 • Awards were made in September, 2010 • New Consortia tests to replace current state NCLB tests in 2014-2015 Two Comprehensive Assessment Proposals Funded: • Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) • 26 states, 31 million students K-12 • SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) • 31 states, 21 million students K-12 Note: 12 states currently in both and 6 states in neither Center for K – 12 Assessment & Performance Management at ETS

  21. RttT Assessment Program Requirements • Build upon shared standards for college/career readiness; • Measure individual growth as well as proficiency; • Measure the extent each student is on track, at each grade level tested, toward college/career readiness by high school completion, and provide information that is useful in informing: • Teaching, learning, and program improvement; • Determinations of school effectiveness; • Determinations of educator effectiveness for use in evaluations and provision of support to teachers/principals; • Determinations of individual student college/career readiness, through high school exit decisions, collegecourse placement into credit-bearing classes, and/or college entrance. Center for K – 12 Assessment & Performance Management at ETS

  22. Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) • ReceivedRace to the Top funds to help support states’ efforts to transition to the CCSS and assessments • Formed the Assessment Design and Development Committee • Established timeline • Met in Dec. 2010 to begin work on test specifications • Met in Feb. 2011 with content specialists and post-secondary reps

  23. Basic PARCC Timeline 2010-2011 Development/approval of common policies/procedures 2011-2012 Initial item and task development, piloting of components 2011-2012 Development of PD resources & online platform 2012-2013 Field testing 2013-2014 Field testing 2014-2015 New summative assessments in use Summer 2015 Setting of common achievement standards Center for K – 12 Assessment & Performance Management at ETS

  24. PARCC – Two Types of Summative Assessments END OF YEAR COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT FOCUSED ASSESSMENTS • One to three tasks that assess a • few “keystone” standards/topics • Given at three points during the • school year, near the end of quarters • Results within 2 weeks to inform • instruction and intervention • Taken on computer, with mixed • item types • Scored entirely by computer for • fast results Scores from both focused & end-of-yr. assessments will be combined for annual accountability score.
