  1. Kentucky Core AcademicStandards BULLITT County Schools 2010-2011 “It’s not just another thing… It’s the most important thing.”

  2. OVEC Regional Network

  3. Today’s Focus To provide a general overview of the Kentucky Core Academic Standards document.

  4. Where did the Common Core StateStandards come from?

  5. What’s in a Name? Is it Common Core State Standards? OR • Kentucky Core Academic Standards?

  6. KWL • Tell me what you already know about the Kentucky Core Academic Standards (KCAS). • What do you think you need to know about the KCAS?

  7. Senate Bill 1 • Focus on college / career readiness • Revised standards • Revised assessment system • Collaborate across all groups / levels • Improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning

  8. Key Points • Part of SB 1 • KCAS are based on the NationalStandards • Focus on college/career readiness • Adopted by 34 states • Assessment begins 2011-2012 • Addresses English/Language Arts and Math • E/LA also includes Literacy Standards for History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects

  9. BCPS STATE NETWORK tEAMS • Content Teachers • Math –Kristy Tinelli (BEHS), Angela Rutledge (EMS), Kristie Hayes (LJES), Patrick Durham (PGES) • English / Language Arts – Susan Smuskiewicz (NBHS), Tonie Weddle (BLMS), Leslie Fox • KLA – Christy Coulter (BCHS), Melissa Whicker (EMS), Staci Goedde (LJES) • ISLN – Keith Davis, Greg Schultz, Dave Marshall, Terry Price

  10. English/Language Arts • Anchor Standards – These ‘anchors’ define general, cross-disciplinary • expectations that indicate readiness to enter college/workforce. There are • 4 sets of ‘anchors’ which will be the same K – 12: - Reading - Writing - Language - Speaking/Listening • Strands – The ‘anchors’ aredivided into “strands” (i.e. Key Ideas and • Details under Reading). • Grade Specific Standards – These ‘standards’ define end-of-year • expectations designed to guide student progression. • Grade Bands – ‘Standards’ are divided into individual grade ‘bands’ (grades K-8) • and two years bands for high schools (grades 9 -12). • Appendices – These include exemplar texts, performance tasks and student • work. “The focus of the new standards is on RESULTS rather than MEANS.”

  12. Grade Specific Standards English/Language Arts Grade Bands Strands

  13. Other Literacy Points • Integrated Model, which includes research and media skills. • Shared responsibility for literacydevelopment. Science, Social Studies and Technical Subjects are addressed for grades 6 – 12.

  14. Math • Math standards are organized by grade level K – 8. • High school standards are arranged by strands: • Number/Quantity • Algebra • Functions • Modeling • Geometry • Statistics/Probability

  15. Math • Mathematical Practices – describe varieties of expertise that mathematic educators at all levels should seek to develop. • Domains – overarching concepts and topics: (e.g. Numbers and Operations in Base 10) • Clusters – groups of related standards within each Domain: (e.g. Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.) • Standards – define what students should understand/be able to do: (e.g. Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.)

  19. Future Considerations • What is the timeline and framework for the BCPS rollout? • Who will be responsible for each component? • How will we incorporate the ELA components into Social Studies, Science and Practical Living? • How do we provide a bridge for teachers as we implement the new standards?

  20. Resources • New standards and other • resources are posted on KDE and • OVEC websites. • Also see www.commoncore.org • from the Common Core Curriculum • Mapping Project for units that • address each standard.

  21. Exit Slip Share three things what you have learned about Kentucky Core Academic Standards. What will YOUwill do next?
