  1. Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges Legislative Workshop June 11, 2013 Kim S. Benton, Ed. D. Interim Deputy State Superintendent

  2. Topics for Discussion • Status of CCSS Implementation • Status of Readiness for PARCC Assessments • Next Steps

  3. Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

  4. Suggested Implementation Timeline • 2011 - 2012 Grades K-2 • 2012 - 2013 Grades 3-8 • 2013 - 2014 Grades 9-12 • 2014 - 2015 Live Assessments It may help to think of implementation as a multi-year process of weaving the Common Core State Standards into the fabric of classroom instruction until the CCSS have replaced the MS Curriculum Frameworks.

  5. Statewide Educator Survey Results • 8602 Responses (7095 teachers) • Balanced Representation • Content Areas • K-12 Representation • Who did respondents trust and rely on for information? • MDE website (66%), School Principal (50%), District (41%)

  8. CCSS Training Efforts • 45 CCSS grade-band training sessions and webinars have been offered across the state, reaching over 4,800 educators. • Focused webinars are offered in ELA and mathematics each month. • Webinars are archived in iTunes U. • Training Calendar 2013-2015 • Emphasis on Professional Learning Communities • Statewide Educator Surveys

  9. CCSS Instructional Planning • Pacing Guides • Bringing teachers together to develop and update pacing guides annually (recommend sequencing guides initially) • Review examples from other districts • Lamar County School District http://www.lamarcountyschools.org/Page/10254 • Madison County School District http://www.madison-schools.com/Page/111 • Tri-State Quality Review Rubric

  10. Necessary Instructional Shifts Collectively, the shifts to the CCSS mean teaching and learning need to be organized to have students: • Conduct short, focused projects and longer term in-depth research; • Produce clear and coherent writing, whatever the selected format; • Communicate research findings (speaking and listening skills) and mathematical thinking; • Model quantitative problems with mathematics; • Persevere in solving problems; and • Reason deeply about mathematics and mathematical situations by applying concepts to real world situations while demonstrating higher-level thinking.

  11. PARCC Assessments

  12. PARCC Assessments 2014-2015 • PARCC Assessments: • Five (5) Performance Levels • ELA and Math only • Dynamic Learning Maps Assessments: • Four (4) Performance Levels (tentative) • ELA and Math only • Science and U.S. History • Biology I and Science 5 and 8

  13. Technology Readiness • The Capacity Planning Tool can calculate the number of devices needed to administer the assessments in 5, 10, 15, or 20 days, depending upon district preference. • This tool is not a single source of readiness information. Results should be considered in the context of individual schools. • Visit http://www.parcconline.org/assessment-administration-guidance to access this tool.

  14. Device Capacity: “Rule of Thumb”

  15. PARCC Assessment Sessions: Grades 3-11

  16. PARCC Assessment Time:Grades 3-11 • The estimated time for a typical student to complete the full battery of PARCC assessments in ELA and Math is 8-10 hours. • Specific session lengths and totals by grade level are available on the PARCC website. • Districts will have two 4-week windows to administer the battery of PARCC assessments. • Refined guidance available after field testing in 2014.

  17. Technology Readiness • 93% of Districts & Special Schools Responded to Survey • Readiness to Test Online • District Bandwidth • Proctor Caching • District Bandwidth Upgrades

  18. Dynamic Learning Maps • With the transition to Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and PARCC assessments, students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities (SCD) who currently participate in the MAAECF will transition to the Common Core Essential Elements (CCEE) and Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) assessments. • Mississippi is a governing state in the DLM Consortia. • More information regarding DLM assessments can be found at www.dynamiclearningmaps.org.

  19. Next Steps • On-line Assessments 2013-2014 • SATP2 Retesting • Science Grades 5 and 8 • Participate in PARCC – DLM Resource Development • Intensify Collaboration with Technology Coordinators and District Leadership around Implementation Readiness • Intensify Engagement with Districts to Determine Allocation of Resources

  20. Next Steps • Continuous Training for Teachers and Administrators • Development of Professional Learning Communities • Partnerships with Institutions of Higher Learning (EAC) • Leveraging Resources with Other States • Intensify Communication with Stakeholders • Website, Open List-Serv Messages, Twitter • Monthly Webinars • CCSS Fiction and Facts • CCSS News Release • PARCC and CCSS Publications

  21. Proposed Transitional Timeline

  22. Proposed Transitional Timeline • These recommendations are the result of two (2) years of discussion with the USDE, PARCC, superintendents, other practitioners, multiple stakeholders, and state elected officials and were generated to ensure that the full and appropriate implementation of internationally benchmarked standards (Common Core State Standards) is a reality for Mississippi’s students. • All data will be published for all years. • The recommendations are not intended to impact current graduation requirements. • Any changes in federal requirements (such as reauthorization of ESEA) are not represented in this proposal and can happen at any time.
