    1. Moving to the Common Core Standards November 22, 2010 Presented by Sherry Skelly Griffith, ACSA Legislative Advocate George Manthey, Ed.D., ACSA Assistant Executive Director Educational Services

    2. Why did California make this change? To ensure that our students are Meeting college and work expectations Prepared to succeed in a global economy and society Provided with rigorous content and application of higher knowledge thinking through higher order thinking skills

    3. Benefits Common Core standards are benchmarked against international standards Student expectations are clear Allows for collaboration among states on best practices, professional development, materials Economies of scale

    4. New Acronyms CCSS or CCCS Common Core State Standards Common Core California Standards Common Core + These are now our “official” standards But we have 3 or 4 years for transition

    5. K-5 Domains for Mathematics

    6. To Compare

    7. Middle Grades

    8. To Compare

    9. High School Arranged by cluster (not course) Number and quantity Algebra Functions Modeling Geometry Probability and Statistics

    10. To Compare

    11. What did CA add to Math CC? Calculus and AP Probability and Statistics Operations and Algebraic Thinking additions in Grades 2 through 5 Measurement and data additions in Grades 2 Grade 6--the Number System

    12. What did CC add to CA Math? 2 Options for Eighth Graders Algebra 1 Eighth Grade CC Math Standards K-7 standards augmented to prepare for either option Clearer grade-to-grade organization

    13. What’s different in math? More similarities than differences Some shifts in grade level for some skills Organization of the standards By grade level through Grade 8 Algebra 1 Clusters of standards for 9-12 Two options for eighth graders

    14. CCCS Advances for ELA Balance of literature and information text Text complexity Emphasis on argument and explanatory writing Writing about sources Inclusion of formal and informal talk Stress on vocabulary—general academic and subject specific

    15. What’s Different in ELA? Current ELA domains: reading, writing, listening and speaking, and written and oral language conventions. CCCS strands: reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language

    16. Big Advantage in CCCS Subheadings are consistent across all grades!

    17. What did CC add to CA ELA? Vocabulary standards Standards for “collaborative discussions” Literacy standards for history/social studies, science, and technical subjects Embedded in K-5 In Grades 6-12 these are a separate set--expectation is these will be shared between ELA teachers and teachers in history/social studies and science

    18. What did CA add to ELA CC? Formal presentations, Grades 1-12 Penmanship, Grades 2-4 Career and consumer documents for writing in Grade 8 Analysis of text features in informational text, Grades 6-12

    19. CCCS ELA Organization Three Main Sections Comprehensive K-5 ELA Comprehensive 6-12 Social Studies and Science/Technical for 6-12 9-10 and 11-12 Grade Bands

    20. ELA Alignment with NAEP

    21. NAEP Alignment in Writing

    22. How common are they?

    23. How can I get the CCCS? Download them at http://www.scoe.net/castandards/index.html Purchase ACSA’s Standard Finder 8.2 Standard Finder 8.2 includes the alignment of previous CA standards and the CCCS Standard Finder 8.1 includes the Common Common Core, but not the CCCS

    24. Old Materials Timeline It’s being developed by CDE and SBE Current adoption cycle Math Framework, January 2012 Materials adoption, August 2014 Materials available, December 2014 ELA Framework, January 2014 Materials adoption, August 2016 Materials available, December 2016 This timeline was suspended and new legislation is required to create a new one.

    25. Suggested Timeline pending Legislation Proposed adoption cycle Math Framework Approved, May 2013 Materials available, November 2014 ELA Framework Approved, May 2014 Materials available, November 2016

    26. Assessment Timeline Two assessments are being developed CA is in a 26 state consortium to create new assessments (CA may join other consortium based on new Governor and SPI) Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) Current STAR sunsets in 2012-13 New assessment could be administered in 2014-15 and piloted the year before For information on each assessment consortium: PARCC: http://www.achieve.org/files/CCSS&Assessments.pdf Smarter Balanced Assessment: http://www.k12.wa.us/smarter/

    27. New Assessments: Beyond the Bubble According to New York Times (9/3/2010) Not only end-of-year but also formative tests that teachers will administer during year Include “performance-based tasks, designed to mirror complex, real-world situations” New assessments will be “computerized” Will measure higher order thinking

    28. Where can I learn more? Sacramento County Office Information and Support for the Common Core Standards http://www.scoe.net/castandards/index.html CDE http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/cc/ http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/infomeeting10.asp Most of the information in this presentation was prepared from Sacramento COE Frequent Q & A and from a presentation to Assistant Superintendents developed by the Santa Clara County Office of Education

    29. ACSA is Influencing the Transition Memo to Legislature, SBE, CDE outlining transition needs for Timelines and communication from the State Specific needs during the transition Development of curriculum, resources, and assessment support

    30. ACSA’s Standard Finder You’ll love it if you want to match standards!

    31. Where do they match?

    32. Which standards stay at the same grade level and which ones move?

    33. Webinar Recording This webinar has been recorded. A link to the recording can be found at: www.acsa.org/e-ducation Many thanks to Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost, LLP, for sponsoring the E-ducation Webinars
