My Standards My Future Using the Standards for Mastery Learning September 7, 2010Math & ELA
Common Agreements for our Time Together… • Active participation of all • Cell phones on vibrate/silent • All voices are heard respectfully • Limit sidebars • Listen to learn • Ask questions • Have fun!!
Activity 1: Common Core State StandardsAcademy School District 20
Getting To This Point… • State of Colorado • 2007 – Colorado State Board recommended review of standards • 2009 – Colorado State Board adopted Colorado Academic Standards (CAS) in December • 2010 – Colorado State Board adopted Common Core in Math and English Language Arts on August 5th • Common Core National Standards • 2009 – College and Career Readiness Anchors developed • 2010 – Draft version of Common Core Standards was released in March; Final version was released in June
Now What? • Over the next 2-3 months, CDE will be reviewing the Common Core Standards to look at possible changes/additions such as: • 21st Century Skills • Format to match the Colorado Academic Standards • Final copies will be distributed to school districts in the fall
Now What? • Learning Services will • distribute copies to administrators and teachers • Work with teachers to prepare for implementation in 2011-12
Who lead the creation of the Common Core State Standards? • National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) • Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) • The standards were developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts.
The Writing Process • The process used to write the standards ensured they were informed by: • The best state standards • The experience of teachers, content experts, states and leading thinkers • Feedback from the general public.
Mission of the Common Core • To provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to know, and be able to do across states.
Common Core Development Process • College and career readiness standards developed in summer 2009 • Based on the college and career readiness standards, K-12 learning progressions developed • Multiple rounds of feedback from states, teachers, researchers, higher education, and the general public • Final Common Core State Standards released on June 2, 2010
Common Core State Standards • Aligned with college and work expectations • Focused and coherent • Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills • Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards • Internationally benchmarked so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society • Based on evidence and research • State led – coordinated by NGA Center and CCSSO
Intentional Design Limitations What the Standards do NOT define: • How teachers should teach • All that can or should be taught • The nature of advanced work beyond the core • The interventions needed for students well below grade level • The full range of support for English language learners and students with special needs • Everything needed to be college and career ready
Math Design and Organization Standards for Mathematical Practice • Carry across all grade levels • Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert student Standards for Mathematical Content • K-8 standards presented by grade level • Organized into domains that progress over several grades • Grade introductions give 2–4 focal points at each grade level • High school standards presented by conceptual theme (Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics & Probability)
Math Design and Organization • Content standards define what students should understand and be able to do • Clusters are groups of related standards • Domains are larger groups that progress across grades
Activity 3: Discussion Questions • What are the relationships between the standards? • What do the verbs in the standards suggest for level of understanding? • What questions/observations do you have?
Activity 4: Options for Creating Scope & Sequence • If you would like to physically maneuver them, we have color coded the domains for you to cut them up & move them around. • There is chart paper available for you to chart the content & skills for each month or quarter. • You could use masking tape to divide your work area into quarters and place the standards there. • You may utilize your laptops to input your scope and sequence. • You may use one of our forms to record your scope & sequence. • Or any other creative & brilliant ideas you’d like to share with us. •
ELA Design and Organization Three main sections • K−5 (cross-disciplinary) • 6−12 English Language Arts • 6−12 Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Shared responsibility for students’ literacy development Three appendices • A: Research and evidence; glossary of key terms • B: Reading text exemplars; sample performance tasks • C: Annotated student writing samples
ELA Design and Organization Four strands • Reading (including Reading Foundational Skills) • Writing • Speaking and Listening • Language An integrated model of literacy Media requirements blended throughout
College and Career Readiness topics: • Key Ideas and Details • Craft and Structure • Integration of Knowledge and Idea • Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity • Text Types and Purposes • Production and Distribution of Writing • Research to Build and Present Knowledge • Range of Writing • Comprehension and Collaboration • Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas • Conventions of Standard English • Knowledge of Language • Vocabulary Acquisition and Use
Activity 6-Jigsaw: Group Reading Assignments • Using the ELA standards packet, K-5 • Groups 1-5 will read pages 2-8 • Group 1-Reading strand; you will delve into pgs. 10-14 • Group 2-Foundational Skills Rdg strand; you will delve into pgs. 15-17 • Group 3 -writing stranding; you will delve into pages 18-21 • Group 4-speaking & listening strand; you will delve into pages 22-24 • Group 5-language strand; you will delve into pages 25-29 • Any questions about the groups before I give you further directions?
Activity 8: Options for Creating Scope & Sequence • If you would like to physically maneuver them, we have color coded the domains for you to cut them up & move them around. • There is chart paper available for you to chart the content & skills for each month or quarter. • You could use masking tape to divide your work area into quarters and place the standards there. • You may utilize your laptops to input your scope and sequence. • You may use one of our forms to record your scope & sequence. • Or any other creative & brilliant ideas you’d like to share with us. •
