Oregon Standards: An Update 2009 Superintendent’s Summer Institute Oregon Department of Education August 3, 2009
What’s New in 2009-10? • Mathematics • Core standards for High School • Advanced Knowledge and Skills • Science • Core standards for K – High School • Technology • Move from CCGs to standards • Upcoming standards review & revision • Social Sciences
Oregon Content Standards • New Core Standards Structure • Built around “big ideas” for each grade level and subject area • Articulates learning progressions within and between grade levels • Allows for more effective lesson design, focused instruction, and creation of formative assessments
Criteria & Process for Core Standards Development • Core standards work based on Doug Reeves’ Endurance, Leverage & Success (Necessity) criteria • Content and Assessment panels (ORS 329.045) used to develop new standards • Public input obtained for draft standards
Research Base for Creating Core Standards Mathematics • National Research Council • Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS) • National Council of Teachers of Mathematics • National Mathematics Advisory Panel • Council of Chief State School Officers
Mathematics Standards Adoption and Accountability • Kindergarten – Grade 8 standards adopted December 2007 • Accountability for grades 3 - 8 begins 2010 – 2011 • High School standards adopted June 2009 • Accountability begins 2010 – 2011
Mathematics Assessment • Test Specifications and Blueprints for 2009-10 posted on ODE website: http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=496 • Transitions in Mathematics Assessment, Documents at: http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=2652 • The Crosswalk: Comparing the 2002 to the 2007 Mathematics Content Standards:http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/subjects/mathematics/standards/crosswalkanalysisguidance10.2008.pdf • Item Writing to assess the new mathematics standards for grades 3-8 and high school is being conducted July-November 2009.
Advanced Knowledge & Skills for High School Mathematics • Provide students more learning options (advanced coursework) • Assist teachers in designing differentiated instruction • Organized by discipline to allow concise configurations to be made at the local level
Research Base for Creating Core Standards Science • National Research Council • Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS) • Council of Chief State School Officers • WestEd reports
Science Adoption and Accountability • Kindergarten – High School standards adopted February 2009 • 2009 Science standards will be fully assessed no sooner than 2011-12.
Science Assessment • Test Specifications and Blueprints for 2009-10 posted on ODE website: http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=496 • Transitions in Science Assessment will be established in 2009-10 • The Crosswalk: Comparing the 2001 to the 2009 Science Content Standards will be available by Winter, 2010 • Item Writing to assess the new science standards for grades 3-8 and high school will begin Winter, 2010
Technology Standards • Adopted December of 2008 • Aligned to the National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS*S) • Why standards? • CCGs did not have the visibility necessary to require instruction around Ed Tech so that students are prepared for 21st C
Technology Standards • Title II-D funds allocated at the national level require standards against which students can be evaluated • Districts receiving Title II-D funds will be required to evaluate student progress on these standards using a state identified evaluation tool beginning in 2009-10 • ODE in the process of identifying tool
Social Science Standards • Review and revision begins Fall 2010 • Adoption expected Winter 2010/11 • Partners • Content & Assessment Panel • Design and review teams including members of business and higher education • Public review • Shift to the core standards structure • Grade level standards rather than benchmarks

National Common Core Standards: What? • Common core of standards • Mathematics and English Language Arts • College and career-ready standards • K – 12 grade level standards • Voluntary “state led” alignment, not driven by federal government • Fewer, clearer and higher • Aligned with college and work expectations • Internationally benchmarked
National Common Core Standards: Why? • Prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in college and careers regardless of where they live • Provide equal access to a high-quality education and the workforce
National Common Core Standards: How & Who? College & Career Ready Standards- Released July 16, 2009 • Development Group • Achieve • College Board • ACT Inc. • External review by: • States (responses sent to CCSSO 7/31) • Feedback Group • Validation Committee
National Common Core Standards: How & Who? K-12 Grade Level Standards- To be released December 2009 • Development Group • To be determined • External review process • To be determined
National Common Core Standards: Effect on Oregon Standards • Participating states asked to align their standards with minimum of 85% of national standards (once finalized) Assessments • National conversations around common assessments aligned to national standards are expected to begin soon
Thank you! We hope you enjoy this year’s Superintendent’s Summer Institute.
