    1. 1 The New Illinois Learning Standards Incorporating the Common Core

    2. History of Standards Movement Nation at Risk (1985) State Goals (1993) Illinois Learning Standards (1997) No Child Left Behind (2001) Illinois Assessment Framework (2004) Common Core Standards (2010) 2

    4. GRADES: 1997 Illinois Learning Standards

    5. What (who) are the Common Core? National Governors Association (NGA) Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) Funded by these two organizations National Standards Movement 40 states have adopted, with seven more committed to adopting them 5

    6. 6 Why are a Common Set of Standards Important? Preparation: designed for students to be college and career ready upon completing secondary education. Quality: flexibility to teach standards in depth and across disciplines that can be tailored to fit the student’s needs. Skilled Workforce: emphasize skills and application, in addition to content, to prepare students for the workforce.

    7. 7 Why are a Common Set of Standards Important? Clarity: designed to help teachers, students, and parents understand what is expected of them to be ready to enter the workforce or college Consistency: levels the playing field so all students will be held to the same rigorous expectations Global Society: internationally benchmarked to high performing countries

    8. What We Know (as of today) Core Standards were adopted in ELA and Math June 2010 All other ILS stay the same ISAT/PSAE stay the same Spring 2011 Assessment will be ready to implement in 2014-2015 Assessment will be technology based Assessment will have three formative; one summative assessment in one year 8

    9. What We Don’t Know (as of today) What the assessment will look like The gaps between current ILS and Common Core How this will affect teacher evaluation system Full depth of Common Core What technology will be needed How AYP will be calculated When Science Common Core will be released 9

    10. 10 K-12 ELA Standards Benchmarked to College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards. K-8 standards are listed by grade level. 9-12 standards are listed in two year bands to allow flexibility in course design. Common Core website

    12. What about the other Illinois learning standards? Standards for social/emotional, social science, fine arts, foreign language, physical development and health and science will remain in place.

    13. In addition…. Standards for literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects Literacy is the responsibility of teachers in those subjects. Comprehension strategies and standards for writing, speaking and listening are embedded Complement rather than replace content standards Aligned with college and career readiness expectations 13

    14. 14

    15. 15 More Meaningful Standards: consistent across states, clear to the public and on track for college. Higher Quality Tests: assessments will include performance tasks to measure critical thinking, strategic problem solving, research and writing. Through-Course Testing: Students will take parts of the assessment at key times during the school year, closer to when they learn the material. Assessment System Design

    16. 16 Maximize Technology: PARCC assessments will be computer based. Cross-State Comparability: States in PARCC will adopt common assessments and common performance standards. Assessment System Design

    17. 3rd grade example At Jerome Horwitz Elementary, the day starts at 8:30 and ends at 3:30. Students have 40 minutes for lunch and 20 minutes for recess. Draw a picture to show long they are in class each day. 17

    18. 18

    19. 6-8 ELA 6-8: Students summarize development of morality of Tom Sawyer in Mark Twain’s novel, Tom Sawyer, and analyze its connection to themes of accountability and authenticity by noting how it is conveyed through characters, setting, and plot. [RL.8.2] 19

    20. 20

    21. K-1 ELA Students identify words and phrases within Molly Bang’s The Paper Crane that appeal to the senses and suggest the feelings of happiness experienced by the owner of the restaurant. (e.g., clapped, played, loved, overjoyed). [RL.1.4] 21

    22. 6-8 ELA 6-8: Students summarize development of morality of Tom Sawyer in Mark Twain’s novel, Tom Sawyer, and analyze its connection to themes of accountability and authenticity by noting how it is conveyed through characters, setting, and plot. [RL.8.2] 22

    23. History/Social Studies & Science, Mathematics, and Technical Subjects 11-12: Students integrate information provided by Mary C. Daly, vice president of San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank, with data presented visually in the FedViews report. In analysis of these sources of information presented in diverse formats, students frame and address a question or solve a problem raised by evaluation of the evidence. [RH.11–12.7] 23

    24. What’s Next? Slow and steady Good Assessment Design: Standards (got ‘em) Assessment (waiting) Teaching Strategies (perfecting now) Collaboration will be key Time 24
