  1. Common Core State Standards Parent Academy 11-21-2013

  2. Objectives • Bring understanding to the reason for the Common Core Standards. • Create an understanding of the instructional shifts that will occur with the change to Common Core. • Generate an understanding of the assessment system (SBAC). • Provide strategies for parents to support their students with the new standards.

  3. Personal questions to reflect on . . . What are your thoughts and beliefs about education and learning? What does a successful student look like coming out of Rowland High School?

  4. Why the Common Core? • Who controls the education system? • NCLB – states develop standards and assessments; all students proficient by 2014 (showing measurable growth) • National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) vs. State Proficiency

  5. Why a Common Core? Resnick, L. B., Stein, M. K., & Coon, S. E. (2008). Standards-based reform: A powerful idea unmoored. In R. Kahlenberg (Ed.), Improving on no child left behind: Getting education reform back on track (pp. 103-138). New York: The Century Foundation.

  6. And California?

  7. Why the discrepancies? Level of the standards, rigor of the assessments, and/or definition of proficiency What happened? National Governors Association (NGA) began the charge of standards reform. Became part of the existing effort to write College and Career Readiness standards “Fewer, Clearer and Higher ” 45 out of 50 states have adopted the Common Core Standards.

  8. Share your reflections

  9. aider GoalsSuccessful students will be… Communicators • Read for Understanding • Write with Clarity • Speak with Confidence • Listen with Care Thinkers • Ask Questions • Set Goals • Solve Problems • Utilize Technology Contributors • Work Collaboratively • Act Responsibly • Behave Appropriately • See Globally

  10. Rowland High School Mission We are committed to the development of all students as thinkers, communicators, and contributors, which will be accomplished through instructional practices and curriculum marked by rigor, relevance and relationships. Our students will be supported as they engage in the high school experience, graduate, and become responsible members of society

  11. CA State Standards  Common Core Standards Three minute animated video explaining the CCSS

  12. 3 Instructional Shifts in Math Focus: Focus strongly where the Standards focus. Coherence: Think across grades, and linkto major topics within grades. Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency,andapplication.

  13. Traditional U.S. Approach

  14. Focusing Attention Within Number and Operations

  15. Math Rigor Requires equal intensity in Time Activities and Resources

  16. 3 Instructional Shifts in ELA • Building knowledge through content-richnonfiction. • 50/50 balance K-5 • 55/45 in grades 6-8 • 70/30 in grades9-12 • Reading, writing,and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational. • Regular practice with complex text and its academic language.

  17. What makes Casey’s experiences at bat humorous? What can you infer from King’s letter about the letter that he received? “The Gettysburg Address” mentions the year 1776. According to Lincoln’s speech, why is this year significant to the events described in the speech? Example of Utilizing Text Evidence Text-Dependent Questions Not Text-Dependent Text-Dependent In “Casey at the Bat,” Casey strikes out. Describe a time when you failed at something. In “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Dr. King discusses nonviolent protest. Discuss, in writing, a time when you wanted to fight against something that you felt was unfair. In “The Gettysburg Address” Lincoln says the nation is dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Why is equality an important value to promote?

  18. Depth of Knowledge

  19. How: The Architecture of the New ELA CC Standards 10 x 2… Literature & Informational Text

  21. Parent Support • Communication • At home • With the school • Support higher level thinking • Set high expectations • Set short and long term educational goals • Support opportunities outside of the curriculum • Family activities (i.e. visit a museum) • Support extracurricular activities • Recreational reading and proper computer use • Tutoring & online support
