  1. 6th Grade Parent Meeting East Cobb Middle School March 14, 2012

  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. Math Key Advances Focus in early grades on number Even pacing Using math and solving complex problems Problem-solving and communication

  9. Standards of Mathematical Practice • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. (ability to explain) • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (make sense of quantities) • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. (justify why) • Model with mathematics. (graphs, formulas, etc…) • Use appropriate tools strategically. (manipulatives, calculators, etc…) • Attend to precision. (state meaning of symbols) • Look for and make use of structure. (patterns) • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. (repeated calculations-shortcuts)

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

  11. Required High Quality Assessments Summative Assessment Components: • Performance-Based Assessment (PBA) at 75% of school year. • End-of-Year Assessment (EOY) at approx. 90% of the school year.

  12. Optional High Quality Assessments Non-Summative Assessment Components: • Diagnostic Assessment at 25% of the school year. • Mid-Year Assessment at the 50% of the school year.

  13. 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

  14. Math Transition to CCGPS

  15. Curriculum to be taught after the CRCT Test…
