  1. Achieving a Common Core Becky Nelson Marta Stirling

  2. Common CoreStandardsThe Common Core Standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that young people need for success in college and careers.

  3. Initiative officially launched on June 1, 2009, by state leaders through their membership in the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices. • SD DOE gathered input from educators regarding content, rigor, developmental appropriateness and alignment of the Common Core Standards throughout the process and then provided that feedback to CCSSO and NGA. • Feedback from South Dakota educators was generally positive.

  4. The Common Core standards were finalized and released in June of 2010. On Nov. 29, 2010, the South Dakota Board of Education moved to adopt the Common Core Standards. • Although full implementation of the Common Core standards is not required for a few years, the first step to plan for implementation is to become familiar with the standards. To that end, the department’s first steps are to host several webinars, focusing on crosswalk document.

  5. Compare/contrast CC and SD Common Core Math Common Core ELA The excel crosswalk document Implementation An assessment update Webinar Goals

  6. Standards for ELA (English Language Arts) and Math includes College and Career Readiness Standards includes reading and writing in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects A group of SD teachers utilized an online tool to crosswalk SD standards to Common Core Comparing CC to SD standards

  7. Stress conceptual understanding Example: explain why a particular math statement is true or where a mathematical rule comes from Focus on processes and proficiencies Modeling - Hands on learning K-7 prepare students for Algebra HS standards Real world application Mathematical modeling Common Core Math

  8. Ties in SD&CC Math StandardsK-5Grade Span

  9. Ties in SD&CC Math Standards6-8Grade Span

  10. Ties in SD&CC Math StandardsHSGrade Span

  11. Percentage of SD Math standardsthat appear in the Common Core

  12. Number of Common Math Standards

  13. Percent of SD standards that had a Match at Each Grade Level

  14. Number of CC Standards that did Not Match a SD Standard

  15. Number of CC Math Standards Above Current Grade Level

  16. Stress conceptual understanding in K-5 (Reading Foundations) CC.K.R.F.1 (excellent) – Print Concepts: Demonstrate understanding of the organization and basic features of print. CC.5.R.F.3 (good) – Phonics and Word Recognition: Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words. Language strand is pulled out to provide a focus on Standard English Conventions Focus on literacy in all content areas Common Core ELA

  17. College and Career Readiness is a responsibility for all grades: CC.K-12.R.R.1 – Key Ideas and Details: Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. CCR in ELA

  18. *NOTE – The 20% of unmatched standards includes those standards for ELA in Science, Social Studies and History, and Technical Subjects as well as K-12 Anchors.

  19. Number of Common CoreELA Standards

  20. CC ELA Standards by Strand

  21. *NOTE Reading Foundations standards are only present in grades K-5.

  22. Gain understanding of similarities and differences Become more familiar with the Common Core Starting point for aligning to curriculum, lesson plans and assignments How could districts use the Excel standards crosswalk document?

  23. Demonstration of Using the Crosswalk Documents

  24. Gain understanding of similarities and differences Become more familiar with the Common Core Starting point for aligning to curriculum, lesson plans and assignments Review of Crosswalk Benefits

  25. Winter 2011: Webinars 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school year State is planning professional development, more information will be sent out Spring of 2011 Implementation

  26. This consortium is state driven South Dakota is one of 30+ states involved in consortium We are an advisory state and participates in workgroups Will develop summative along with interim assessment Will have a formative tool and process as part of project SMARTER/Balanced Consortium

  27. For our 1% students 19 states are part of grant but are adding more states Different Tiers in project Workgroups to begin forming National Center and State Collaborative General Supervision Enhancement Grant
