  4. The Common Core State Standards Initiative • Beginning in the spring of 2009, Governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia committed to developing a common core of state K-12 English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics standards. Over 40 states have formally adopted the Common Core State Standards. • The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). • www.corestandards.org

  5. Why Common Core Standards? • Preparation: The standards are college- and career-ready. They will help prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in education and training after high school. • Competition: The standards are internationally benchmarked. Common standards will help ensure our students are globally competitive. • Equity: Expectations are consistent for all and not dependent on a student’s zip code. • Clarity: The standards are focused, coherent, and clear. Clearer standards help students (and parents and teachers) understand what is expected of them. • Collaboration: The standards create a foundation to work collaboratively across states and districts, pooling resources and expertise, to create curricular tools, professional development, common assessments, and other materials.

  6. Why are the Common Core State Standards for ELA right for Georgia? • Previous work with the GPS has prepared Georgia for the implementation of the CCGPS. • Prior teacher and administrator GPS training ensures a smooth transition. • Although some content may be in different grade levels in CCSS, nearly all of the ELA standards are addressed. • CCSS expectations are consistent with a single/high-rigor diploma requirement for all students.

  7. How is adoption defined? • 100% of the Common Core K-12 standards in ELA must be adopted within 3 years. • States are allowed to add an additional 15% to the Common Core. • A state will have “adopted” when the authorizing body (Georgia’s State Board of Education) has taken formal action to adopt and implement the Common Core. (This occurred on July 8, 2010.) • States have flexibility as to how they communicate adoption relative to state standards.

  8. Thomas Fordham Institute The State of State Standards--and the Common Core--in 2010 July 21, 2010 http://www.edexcellence.net/publicationsissues/publications/the-state-of-state.html

  9. Thomas Fordham Institute GPS and CCSS in 2010 Georgia (GPS): Grade B+ CCSS: Grade B+ Clarity and Specificity: 2/3 Clarity & Specificity: 2/3 Content and Rigor: 6/7 Content & Rigor: 6/7 Total GPS score: 8/10 Total CCSS score: 8/10 Georgia is one of 5 states receiving a score of B+. Only six scored better: California, District of Columbia, and Indiana: A; Massachusetts, Texas, and Tennessee: A-. According to the Fordham Report, Georgia is one of 11 states considered to be in the same league as Common Core. Louisiana, Colorado, Virginia, and Oklahoma also scored a B+.

  10. What about the alignment of CCSS with GPS? • The Achieve Online Comparison Tool was used in June of 2010 to create an alignment of CCSS to GPS. However, this process did not include alignment of repetitive standards across grade levels as well as alignment of each standard in each high school course. Nevertheless, the alignment tool reported an alignment percentage of 81%.

  11. What does Alignment really mean? • Alignment is an approximate term used lightly to show a match or comparison. • Some GPS standards/elements align or match perfectly in all aspects of comparison to CCGPS. • Some GPS standards/elements align or match creatively in all aspects of comparison with CCGPS.

  12. Alignment continued… • Sometimes, alignment occurs when a Common Core standard matches a GPS standard at a different grade level. • This grade level shift may be above the current GPS level or below it. • The alignment may occur across different domains.

  13. What are the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects?

  14. Common Core State Standards inEnglish Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects College and Career Readiness (CCR) Standards • Overarching standards for each strand that are further defined by grade-specific standards Grade-Level Standards in English Language Arts (CCGPS) • K-8, grade-by-grade • 9-10 and 11-12 grade bands for high school • Four strands: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects • Standards are embedded at grades K-5 • Content-specific literacy standards are provided for grades 6-8, 9-10, and 11-12

  15. College and Career Readiness Standards and Common Core State Standards • The College and Career Readiness Standards were written first. • These standards are the “goals” or “indicators” for true college and career readiness once a student graduates high school. • Each Common Core State Standard is aligned to a college and career readiness standard.

  16. College and Career Readiness (CCR) Anchor Standards

  17. College and Career Readiness Standards(CCR) These standards “anchor” the document and define general, cross-disciplinary literacy expectations that must be met for students to be prepared to enter college and workforce training programs ready to succeed.

  18. The CCR is the ANCHOR for ELA CCGPS There are 32 CCR Standards: 10 in Reading 10 in Writing 6 in Speaking and Listening 6 in Language

  19. CCR Anchor Example for Reading CCR CCGPS Reading Standard #1 (Kindergarten- Lit.) With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text. (7th grade Lit.) Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Reading Standard #1 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.

  20. Common CoreSTATE STANDARDS INITIATIVEPREPARING AMERICA’S STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER These K-12 grade-specific standards define end-of-year expectations and a cumulative progression designed to enable students to meet college and career readiness expectations no later than the end of high school.

  21. Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts CCGPS (There are four strands in ELA.) Reading> 9 standards (lit.) 10 standards (inf.) Writing> 10 standards Speaking & Listening> 6 standards Language> 6 standards

  22. Key Features of the ELA Standards • Reading: Text Complexity and the growth of comprehension • Writing: Text Types, responding to reading, and research • Speaking and Listening: Flexible communication and collaboration • Language: Conventions, effective use, and vocabulary

  23. Who is responsible for which portion of the Standards? • A single K-5 section lists standards for reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language across the curriculum, reflecting the fact that most or all of the instruction students in these grades receive comes from one teacher. • Grades 6-12 are covered in two content area-specific sections, the first for the ELA teacher and the second for teachers of history/social studies, science, and technical subjects.

  24. Support Documents for ELA Common Core • Appendix A: Research & Glossary of Key Terms • Appendix B: Text Exemplars & Sample Performance Tasks • Appendix C: Samples of Student Writing • Language Progression Chart www.corestandards.org

  25. Non-negotiables • The Georgia State Board of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards and named them “The Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS).” • These standards were adopted as written and must be addressed at the specified grade level. • We were allowed to adopt 15% of the current GPS to the CCGPS.

  26. ELA’s 15% • November & December: Teachers provided feedback regarding the 15%. • January: ELA Advisory Council met and studied the feedback. • February: ELA Precision Review Team met and recommended the additions. • March: ELA Precision Review Team and ELA Advisory Council met to begin resource work.

  27. What are the additions from GPS? • Kindergarten: No additions • 1st Grade: Writing and Language • 2nd Grade: Writing and Language • 3rd grade: Language • 4th grade: Language • 5th through 8th : No additions • 9-10th and 11-12th / Language

  28. How are we preparing for CCGPS implementation? • State English Language Arts team drafted initial alignment documents for each grade level; webinars and face-to-face sessions focused on the alignment; educators across the state submitted feedback regarding the alignment. • The ELA Advisory Council sorted through the feedback as well as new alignment drafts and provided recommendations on alignment. • Precision Review Teams were convened to review the feedback and make recommendations regarding alignment issues as well as additions to CCGPS from GPS. • The recommendations of the ELA Precision Review Team were vetted with the ELA Advisory Council. • The ELA Advisory Council and Precision Review Team convened to begin work on teacher guidance. • ELA’s proposed additions will be presented to GADOE leadership. • Professional learning and development of resources will be the number one focus for 2011-12., with an implementation year of 2012-13.

  29. English Language Arts CCGPS Timeline

  30. How are we preparing for CCGPS assessment? • Curriculum has been invited to the initial meetings of the design and development of the CCSS assessments through the PARCC Consortium – Georgia is a governing member of the 26 state collaborative. • We have been assured by our assessment division that curriculum will continue to drive assessment.

  31. CCGPS Precision Review Status Report • School year 2011-12 will be focused on professional learning for K-12 English language arts teachers as well as professional learning in literacy for history, social studies, science, and technical subjects teachers. • Coordination will occur between the ELA team and IT to develop and manage a professional learning blueprint as well as ongoing professional learning opportunities. • Race to the Top and Gates grants will target sustained professional learning and will provide the needed funding. • Data analysis will direct decisions regarding the specific focus for professional learning.

  32. Leader Actions • Include a CCGPS overview in your pre-planning agenda. • Include a CCGPS overview in your parent, PTA, and community meetings. • Ensure that 100% of your English language arts teachers participate in the GaDOE and RESA facilitated professional learning sessions. • Make CCGPS the focus of your district level and school level professional learning.

  35. We have a choice. We can simply defend what we have…or create what we need. Sixteen Trends Their Profound Impact on Our Future by Gary Marx

  36. Georgia’s Mathematics ProgramPast, Present, and Future • 1986 • Quality Core Curriculum (QCC) Objectives • 2005 • Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) • 2012 • Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS)

  37. Common Core for Mathematics Standards for Mathematical Content • K-8 grade-by-grade standards organized by domain • 9-12 high school standards organized by conceptual categories Standards for Mathematical Practice • Describe mathematical “habits of mind” • Offer standards for mathematical proficiency: reasoning, problem solving, modeling, decision making, and engagement • Connect with content standards in each grade

  38. K- 8 Mathematics Standards • The K-5 standards provide students with a solid foundation in whole numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions and decimals. • The 6-8 standards describe robust learning in geometry, algebra, and probability and statistics. • Modeled after the focus of standards from high-performing nations, the standards for grades 7 and 8 include significant algebra and geometry content. • Students who have completed 7th grade and mastered the content and skills will be prepared for algebra in 8th grade or after.

  39. High School Mathematics Standards • Call on students to practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world issues and challenges • Require students to develop a depth of understanding and ability to apply mathematics to novel situations, as college students and employees regularly are called to do • Emphasize mathematical modeling, the use of mathematics and statistics to analyze empirical situations, understand them better, and improve decisions • Identify the mathematics that all students should study in order to be college and career ready.

  40. Model Course Pathways for Mathematics Courses in higher level mathematics: Precalculus, Calculus (upon completion of Precalculus), Advanced Statistics, Discrete Mathematics, Advanced Quantitative Reasoning, or other courses to be designed at a later date, such as additional career technical courses. Mathematics III Algebra II Geometry Mathematics II Mathematics I Algebra I Pathway B Integrated approach Pathway A Traditional in U.S.

  41. Why are the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics right for Georgia? • Previous work with the GPS has prepared Georgia for the implementation of the CCSS. • Prior teacher and administrator GPS training ensures a smooth transition. • Although some content may be in different grade levels in the CCSS, all of the standards are addressed in the GPS. • CCSS expectations are consistent with a single/high-rigor diploma requirement for all students.

  42. Thomas Fordham InstituteGPS and CCSS in 2010 Georgia: Grade A- Clarity and Specificity 3/3 Content and Rigor 6/7 Total GPS Score 9/10 Georgia is one of eight states receiving at least 9/10 points. CCSS: Grade A- Clarity and Specificity 2/3 Content and Rigor 7/7 Total CCSS Score 9/10

  43. What about the alignment of CCSS with GPS?

  44. What are the non-negotiables? • 100% of the CCSS must be delivered in our curriculum. • CCSS must be addressed at the grade level where they are assessed.

  45. How are we preparing for CCGPS implementation? • State Mathematics Team drafted initial alignment documents for each grade level; webinars and face-to-face sessions focused on the alignment; Educators across the state submitted feedback regarding the alignment • Precision Review Teams were convened to review feedback and make recommendations regarding alignment issues • The recommendations of the precision review teams were vetted by the RESA Mathematics Mentors and the K-12 Advisory Council for final approval • District and School Level Leaders will be apprised of the decisions in spring/summer of 2011 • Professional learning for all Mathematics Educators will be the number one priority in school year 2011-2012. • All K-12 Mathematics Classrooms will implement CCGPS in 2012-2013.

  46. Mathematics CCGPS Timeline

  47. SAMPLE:CCSS+GPS=CCGPS CC.6.RP.3d Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities. • Students will consider relationships between varying quantities: • Use proportional reasoning (a/b=c/d and y = kx) to solve problems • Students will convert from one unit to another within one system of measurement (customary or metric) by using proportional relationships

  48. How are we preparing for CCGPS assessment? • Curriculum has been invited to the initial meetings of the design and development of the CCSS assessments through the PARCC Consortium – Georgia is a governing member of the 26 state collaborative. • We have been assured by our assessment division that curriculum will continue to drive assessment.

  49. CCGPS Precision ReviewStatus Report • School year 2011-2012 will be focused on professional learning for K-12 mathematics educators. • The mathematics team has coordinated with IT division representatives to develop the professional learning blueprint for both initial and ongoing professional learning opportunities. • Race to the Top and Gates grants will target sustained and technology-enhanced professional learning and will provide the needed funding. • Data analysis will direct decisions regarding the specific focus for professional learning.
