  2. Agenda • CCSS implementation through the lens of the student learning triangle: literacy standards, instruction, assessments • Tools for communicating with parents • Opportunities to learn more • Assessment System Updates CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  3. OSPI CCR Quarterly Webinar Series http://www.k12.wa.us/CoreStandards/UpdatesEvents.aspx#Webinar CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  4. Before we begin…About You We’d like to know a little about who is out there. Time for a poll CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  5. Before we begin… let’s hear from you! What resources or tools do you need to successfully implement CCSS into the classroom? What supports do teachers need to successfully implement CCSS into the classroom? CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  6. Washington’s Vision for Education Every Washington public school student will graduate from high school globally competitive for work and postsecondary education and prepared for life in the 21stcentury. CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13 Class of 2011: Bridgeport High School

  7. Our guiding beliefs and approach for CCR Standards Implementation in WA 2-Prongs: • The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators) • Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided a strong foundation on which to build; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content. • The How: System “Remodeling” • Belief that successful implementation will not take place top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…” • Belief that districts across the state have the conditions and commitment present to engage wholly in this work. • Professional learning systems are critical CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  8. Tools for bringing the CCSS ELA into your classroom CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  9. Washington’s K-12 Learning Standards(CCSS-M, CCSS-ELA, EALRS, GLEs, PEs,) CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  10. Washington’s K-12 Learning Standards (CCSS-M, CCSS-ELA, EALRS, GLEs, PEs,) CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  11. The “what” so far… CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13 Reading foundations to comprehension Writing foundations to revision and adaptation & transfer Speaking listen carefully, speak thoughtfully, construct! Listening Language use language masterfully to achieve a goal Literacy in Social Studies/History, Science, and Technical Subjects dive in deeply and grow knowledge

  12. TheBigIdeas: introduction, page 7 • Demonstrate independence • Build strong content knowledge • Respond to the varying demands of audience, task, purpose, and discipline • Comprehend as well as critique • Value evidence • Use technology strategically and capably • Come to understand other perspectives and cultures • What happens in homework? • Authentic learning > “an experience” • Pivot, adapt, apply, carry forth • Opinions are only valid with evidence • Create equity by enabling student voice • Access to technology means teaching efficient and authentic use • Literacy opens the door to understanding history, health, environment, the arts, mathematics, languages, society, safety, community, and the world CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  13. how word choice contributes to meaning and tone (RL.8.4) be able to cite textual evidence (RL.8.1) Grade 8: compare and contrast the structure of two or more texts and analyze how the different structure of each text contributes to its meaning and style (RL.8.5). support the assertions (arguments) they make in writing (W.8.1, W.8.9) CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  14. What it looks like in your classroom: planning, instruction, and assessment overview CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  15. Three Shifts in English Language Arts • Building content knowledge through content-rich nonfiction • Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational • Regular practice with complex text and its academic language CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  16. Operationalizing the CCSS shifts CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13 Read & re-read the standards and appendices. Use them to guide your lesson planning and lesson revisions. Study the vertical articulation of each strand! What are the the components of the years before? Where are your students going next? Think and plan ACROSS CONTENTS. Some literacy skills are learned best in English class/ reading block. Others make sense in other contents. Work together with your team!

  17. DOK We can scaffold and support student learning all along their literacy growth, from reading strategies and graphic organizers to question techniques to careful writing and speaking assignments CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  25. Communications Campaign Ready Washington is a coalition of state and local education agencies, associations and advocacy organizations that support college- and career-ready learning standards. The coalition believes all students should be better prepared for college, work and life to build the skills to compete for the quality jobs that our state has to offer. *Initial support for ReadyWA received in October 2012 grant awarded from College Spark Washington to Partnership for Learning & Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13 www.ReadyWA.org

  26. Opportunities to learn more Training, resources, collaborations, groups CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  27. Where we are and where we’ve been CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  28. Washington Ongoing: Statewide Coordination and Collaboration to Support Implementation (Professional Learning Providers and Partners Across WA ) • Including: • School Districts (CCSS District Implementation Network) • Higher Education • Education and Educator Content Associations • Business Partners CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  29. 2012-13 CCSS Implementation Resources & Activities CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  30. State Testing Update CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  31. A Balanced Assessment System Summative: College and career readiness assessments for accountability Teachers and schools have information and tools they need to improve teaching and learning Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness All students leave high school college and career ready Formative resources: Supporting classroom-based assessments to improve instruction Interim: Flexible and open assessments, used for actionable feedback

  32. A Balanced Assessment System English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, Grades 3-8 and High School School Year Last 12 weeks of the year* DIGITAL CLEARINGHOUSE OF FORMATIVE TOOLS, PROCESSES AND EXEMPLARS Released items and tasks; Model curriculum units; Educator training; Professional development tools and resources; Scorer training modules; Teacher collaboration tools; Evaluation of publishers’ assessments. Optional Interim Assessment Optional Interim Assessment • PERFORMANCE TASKS • ELA/Literacy • Mathematics • COMPUTER ADAPTIVE TESTS • ELA/Literacy • Mathematics Computer Adaptive Assessment and Performance Tasks Computer Adaptive Assessment and Performance Tasks Re-take option Scope, sequence, number and timing of interim assessments locally determined *Time windows may be adjusted based on results from the research agenda and final implementation decisions.

  33. Major Milestones in Development of Summative Assessments ✔ ✔ ✔ Full system run-through; Establish performance standards; some results Early Q.C. of items & software; no student results CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  34. Technology Requirements: Responding to School Needs • Smarter states have established standards for new and existing hardware • Online “Readiness Tool” • Schools and districts can evaluate technology readiness • Schools do NOT need one-to-one computers • Illustrative example: A 600-student school can be supported by a single 30-computer lab • Smarter Balanced Readiness Calculator at: http://www3.cde.ca.gov/sbactechcalc/ • Pencil-and-paper option available for three-year transition period CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  35. 2013 Legislative Decisions RegardingHigh School Assessments • Accountability will move to Grade 11 Smarter Balanced tests in 2014-15: English Language Arts & Math • Three Exit Exams (ELA, Math, Biology): • English Language Arts: • Class of 2013 & 2014 • HSPE Reading and Writing • Class of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 • HSPE Reading and Writing, • OR new 11th Smarter Balanced ELA Test, • OR new 10th ELA Exit Exam • Class of 2019 and beyond • 11th Smarter Balanced ELA Test

  36. 2013 Legislative Decisions RegardingHigh School Assessments, Cont’d • Math: • Class of 2013 & 2014 • Algebra 1 EOC OR Geometry EOC • Class of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 • Algebra 1 EOC, • OR Geometry EOC, • OR new 11th Smarter Balanced Comprehensive Math Test, • OR new Algebra 1 EOC Exit Exam (aligned to SBAC), • OR new Geometry EOC Exit Exam (aligned to SBAC) • Class of 2019 and beyond - 11th Smarter Balanced Math Test

  37. 2013 Legislative Decisions RegardingHigh School Assessments, Cont’d • Science: • Class of 2015, 2016, 2017…. until Next Generation Science Standards are adopted, implemented and assessed – Biology EOC • When NGSS are implemented – Comprehensive NGSS Test • Certificate of Academic Achievement options remain available for all cohorts, with the addition of Biology COE

  38. What’s Happening This Year, 2013-14? • Exit exams remain the same (HSPE, EOC) • CAA options remain the same, except • New Biology COE ready for June 2014 submission for Class of 2015 and beyond (only after two attempts on Biology EOC) • Class of 2013 had some relaxation of Collection of Evidence rules that had been newly implemented – these will not continue (COE is limited to one submission per content area throughout HS, and requires two attempts on general assessment before submitting)

  39. Smarter Balanced Field Testing • US Dept of Ed is allowing states to participate in the Smarter Balanced field test in 2013-14 in one of several ways (pending ESEA Waiver approval): • Students take current state tests and field tests (double testing), with school accountability coming from current state tests • Students take only field test, with school accountability coming from field tests (early adoption states – not Washington) • Blended model where some schools take current test only and some schools take field test only • If only field testing, school accountability is carried over from 2012-2013

  40. Smarter Balanced Field Testing • Blended model is what Washington plans to use (in grades 3-8). • In September, elementary and middle schools will choose to: A. Administer current test only B. Administer field test only

  41. Smarter Balanced Field Testing • Administering field test only (grades 3-8): • Operations • Field test will be online • All grades at a school must field test, both ELA & Math • Testing window TBD (hopefully schools will have choice of two weeks within last 12 weeks, but may be an assigned 4 week window) • Minimal info will be available for individual score reports • No direct costs to schools for field test • More information coming from Smarter Balanced in the next month

  42. Smarter Balanced Field Testing • Administering field test only (grades 3-8): • School accountability • Percent meeting standard is carried over from state assessments in 2012-2013 • Priority, Focus, and Emerging lists to be generated in same way, but 2014 proficiency score will be duplicative of 2013 • New accountability index will be compromised because we won’t have new Student Growth Percentiles for 2013-14 (could just use same SGP for 2013 and 2014)

  43. Smarter Balanced Field Testing • What about in High Schools? • All students need access to current tests (HSPEs & EOCs) for graduation • All 10thgraders will take Reading and Writing HSPE • All 10thgraders will take Year 1 Math EOC (unless previously passed) • All 10th graders will take Biology EOC (unless previously passed) • Students who have previously not met standard can retake any or all • Field testing on Smarter Balanced CCR is available for all grades (Math and or ELA) – mostly need 11th graders to field test, or students who have already fulfilled assessment graduation requirements • Field test will be online • Testing window TBD (hopefully schools will have choice of two weeks within last 12 weeks) • Minimal info will be available for individual score reports • No direct costs to schools for field test • More information coming from Smarter Balanced in the next month

  44. Interim Assessments and Formative Tools (Digital Library) • Interim Assessments – Ready in Fall 2014 • Available to all districts – costs covered by state • Optional use and frequency • Two types of assessments can be constructed: • Clone summative test • Target specific skills • 2014-15 will have fewer items to draw from than later years • Digital Library - Resources to be available in late Spring 2014

  45. Digital Library Features One Stop: • The Digital Library will have links to all test engine systems through a single sign-on with user permission levels so teachers, parents, and students have access to all of the curriculum and professional learning resources. • Assessment literacy • Formative assessment resources • Links to other resources and other components of the Smarter online system • Includes resources for each grade band that address English Language Learners and Students With Disabilities Interactive Teacher Space • Opportunities to keep journals of practices • Key words or phrases in the journals will generate suggested lists of resources. • Record resources consulted and suggest others. • Teachers can request resources matched to student assessment results.

  46. Digital Library Deliverables • Exemplar Instruction Modules • 50 instructional modules for each grade band (Grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12) (Wireless Generation Response pg. 97) CCSS ELA Webinar Pt.1 9-18-13

  47. Testing Times for Summative Assessment The testing window is the final 12 weeks of the academic year for grades 3-8; maybe be a designated 4-6 week window for HS.
