  9. Montana Common Core Standards Timeline

  10. A National Consortium of States • 28 states representing 44% of K-12 students • 21 governing, 7 advisory states • Washington state is fiscal agent

  11. The Purpose of the Consortium • To develop a set of comprehensive and innovative assessments for grades 3-8 and high school in English language arts and mathematics aligned to the Common Core State Standards • To ensure that all students leave high school prepared for postsecondary success in college or a career through increased student learning and improved teaching. The assessments shall be operational across consortium states in the 2014-15 school year.

  12. Benefits of a Multi-State Consortium • Less cost and more capabilities through scope of work sharing and collaboration • More control through open-source software platforms for online adaptive testing and test items/questions • Better service for students with disabilities and EL students through common, agreed-upon protocols for accommodations

  13. Terms • Formative Assessment/Tools and Practices • Classroom/Part of instruction/During learning • Interim Assessment • Classroom/ At end of a segment of learning • Summative • After learning
