  9. Washington’s K-12 Learning Standards Landscape, Continued(CCSS-M, CCSS-ELA, EALRS, GLEs, PEs,) CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  10. Before we begin…some formative information gathering (polleverywhere.com) • What is your role? • How prepared are you? • How familiar are you with the following resources available to consider quality of instructional materials for ELA and Math? • CCSS Publisher’s Criteria for English Language Arts and/or Mathematics • EQuipRubrics (from Achieve, Inc) for evaluating lessons for English Language Arts and/or Mathematics • Instructional Materials Evaluation Tools for English Language Arts and/or Mathematics CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  11. Making the Transition in Districts, Buildings, Classrooms The “What” and the “How” CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  12. Implementing Career- and College- Ready Standards in Washington State Our Vision:Every student will have access to CCR standards through high quality instruction aligned with the standards every day; and every educator is prepared and supported to implement the standards in their classrooms every day. Our Purpose: To develop a statewide system with resources that supports all school districts in their preparation of educators and students. CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  13. Guiding Beliefs and Approach toward CCR 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 for CCSS; • HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content. • The How: System “Remodeling” • Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take place top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…” • Comprehensive Professional Learning Systems are KEY CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  14. The “What”:ELA and Math Content Shifts • Shifts in ELA • Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational texts in addition to literature • Reading and writing grounded in evidence from the text • Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary These apply to content area (social studies, science, and technical subject) teachers as well as to English teachers. • Shifts in Mathematics • Focus: fewer topics focused on deeply in each grade • Coherence: Concepts logically connected from one grade to the next and linked to other major topics within the grade • Rigor: Fluency with arithmetic, application of knowledge to real world situations, and deep understanding of mathematical concepts CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  15. Power of the Shifts • Know them – both the what and the why • Internalize them • Apply them to decisions about • Time • Energy • Resources • Conversations with parents, students, colleagues, partners This effort is about much more than implementing the next version of the standards. It is about preparing all students for college and careers. CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  16. The “How”: System “Remodeling” “Professional learning is an individual and collective responsibility that fosters shared accountability among the entire education workforce for student achievement.” ~ KY Professional Learning Task Force Report, 2012 CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  17. The “How”: Reflect on what you will observe when you have successfully implemented the CCSS in your schools and districts… CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  18. CCR Implementation – through a district, building, and classroom lens CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  19. Where to Start…FIRST: Phase 1 Exploration and Awareness CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14 Among… • District leaders and leadership teams • Building leaders and building teams Take the time to immerse yourself in and learn about… • The WHY - The background and vision of the CCR standards • The WHAT - The major shifts in the content • The HOW – • Our state’s approach toward supporting implementation • Emerging resources and support systems

  20. Through the lens of building and classroom leaders… CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  21. NEXT: Phase 2 within your Building Context CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14 Start the transition by Setting the Course! • Identify a core group of leaders (across grades and subjects; parents? Community partners?) as a lead implementation team • Take stock of current instructional practices, strengths, and challenges • Establish a shared vision that will guide implementation with all students and educators – what will it mean for your district/building? • Develop School-Specific Transition / Implementation Plans • In relation to your district’s overall vision and transition plan • Access Achieve and Learning Forward materials to inform professional learning • Establish short and long term goals to begin moving forward

  22. AND: Phase 3 at the Building/Classroom Level CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14 • Continue to build capacity and understanding among leaders of CCSS Shifts • Identify key system “remodeling” actions that need to occur to facilitate the transition • Scheduling, Funding Professional Learning, Collaboration Time, etc. • Identify targeted professional learning opportunities in which to engage • For district/building leaders • For teachers, specialists, and paraprofessionals • Support review and analysis of instructional materials for quality

  23. Considering Instructional Materials CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  24. Rethinking Instructional Materials and Resources INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS Individual lessons and plans Formally adopted or not Full courses Supplemental resources K-12 Core Curricula Teacher-created materials District-created materials/resources Purchased and/or “open education resources” CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14 What do we mean when we talk about “instructional materials”?

  25. CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  26. The “How”, continued… • Teacher Practices? • Student Work? • Instructional Materials? Reflect again now on what you will be able to observe (see, hear) when you have successfully implemented Common Core State Standards in your schools and districts. CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  27. Tools for Evaluation of Alignment - History Common Core State Standards Publishers’ Criteria for ELA/LiteracyPublishers’ Criteria for ELA/Literacy K-2Publishers’ Criteria for ELA/Literacy 3-12Publishers’ Criteria for Mathematics K-8Publishers’ Criteria for Mathematics K-HS Tri-State Rubric EQuIP Rubric Instructional Materials Evaluation Tool (IMET) CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  28. Publishers’ Criteria: Possible Uses Use Cases What States, Districts and Teachers Can Do Informing purchases and adoptions Ensure that instructional resource purchasing criteria and decisions are aligned to the Standards. Working with previously purchased materials Use the Publishers’ Criteria to review existing materials and adjust to improve alignment (remove or supplement). Reviewing teacher-developed materials and guiding their development Use the Publishers’ Criteria to support teachers in developing materials and ensure that teacher-developed resources are aligned. As a tool for professional development Share the Publishers’ Criteria with teachers and use it to support teacher understanding of the standards. CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  29. What is the Toolkit? An Overview • Purpose: • To catalyze the impact that the CCSS can have on student achievement by building and applying a common vision of CCSS aligned, high quality instructional and assessment materials • What it is: • Collaboration between Achieve, CCSSO and Student Achievement Partners • A resource that brings together a set of interrelated, freely available tools for evaluating instructional and assessment materials for alignment to CCSS • Support for the evaluation of comprehensive textbook or textbook series, units, lessons, grade or course-level assessments, item banks, and individual assessment items and can be applied to both print and digital materials CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  30. Key Design Features • The Publishers’ Criteria were developed from the perspective that publishers and purchasers are equally responsible for ensuring high quality instructional materials. • They do not define, endorse or prescribe curriculum; those decisions are, and should be, local within each state or district. • All tools provided directly support the expectations of the CCSS and are derived from or closely aligned with the guidelines provided in the Publishers’ Criteria for mathematics and English language arts/literacy • Included tools do not address all factors that may be important in determining whether instructional materials and assessments are appropriate in a given local or state context but instead aim to clearly articulate the criteria for alignment to the CCSS CCR Systems Webinar Pt.3-inst.materials.3-18-14

  40. Instructional Material Reviews

  41. Instructional Resource Review • Materials reviewed: Full math curriculum, ELA materials for whole class instruction and support (ex. text sets, grade-level texts), ELA materials for small group instruction (ex. reading foundations, guided reading, guided writing), ELA materials for independent reading programs, and ELA and math benchmark assessments. • How it works: Materials are reviewed and posted as they are submitted. The Department can not review materials unless they are submitted by the publishers. Districts have influence convincing publishers to submit materials. • Tiered and Posted: Once reviewed the materials are tiered using the criteria below: • Tier 1: Exemplifies quality of the standards. The materials meet all non-negotiable criteria and consistently meet additional criteria. • Tier 2: Approaching quality of the standards. There are some real strengths and some real gaps. All non-negotiable items met, but some additional criteria have gaps. • Tier 3: Does not represent quality of the standards. Not all of the non-negotiable items are met. http://www.louisianabelieves.com/academics/2013-2014-math-and-english-language-arts-instructional-materials-review/curricular-resources-annotated-reviews
