  2. College and Career Ready Performance Index • April 26, 2013 – Initial CCRPI was released • May 7, 2013 – CCRPI will be released to public • Note: Schools that currently display overall scores that do not include values for Progress and Achievement Gap will be recalculated. Primary schools and small schools may be impacted.

  5. Myth: The Federal government developed the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Fact: The Federal government played no role in the development in the CCSS. The desire to develop higher, shared standards was expressed by states early in 2007 at Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) Annual Policy Forum. State education chiefs and governors, through their membership in CCSSO and the National Governors Association (NGA), led the development of the CCSS.

  6. Myth: The Common Core prevents teachers from teaching literature. Fact: The standards do not limit reading to non-fiction, but suggest a balance between literature and non-fiction texts so students can build knowledge and broaden their perspectives. Recognizing that teachers, school districts, and states should decide on appropriate curriculum, the standards do not offer required reading lists. They establish what students need to learn, but do not tell teachers how to teach.

  7. Myth: Implementing the Standards require states to collect and house vast amounts of personally identifiable student data. Fact: There is no data collection requirement of states adopting the CCSS. Standards define expectations for what students should know and be able to do by the end of each grade/course. Implementing the Standards does not require data collection.

  8. How did the Common Core State Standards initiative evolve? • Led by National Governor’s Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) with assistance of Achieve, ACT, College Board, and National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) • State-led and developed (not National) • Adopted by 46 states and D.C. (except Alaska, Nebraska, Texas, Virginia) • The Georgia State Board of Education adopted the CCGPS on July 8, 2010.

  9. K- High School CCGPS Subjects • English Language Arts (ELA) • (6-12) Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects • Mathematics

  10. Why are the Common Core State Standards right for Georgia? • Consistent with Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) • Fewer, clearer, and higher • Aligned with college and career expectations • Rigorous and relevant content and application of knowledge through higher-order skills • Internationally benchmarked so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society

  11. Why are the Common Core State Standards right for Georgia? • Evidence and/or research based • Vertical alignment of concepts and skills • Emphasis on content literacy • Previous work with the GPS has prepared Georgia for the implementation of the CCSS • Although some content may be in different grade levels in the CCSS, all of the standards are addressed in the GPS

  12. Process: ELA and Mathematics Common Core GPS • The GPS and CCSS alignment was conducted for each grade level by educators and specialists from across the state. • Alignment feedback was given from ELA and • Mathematics advisory councils. • Precision review teams utilized feedback on alignment issues. • Advisory groups consisting of ELA and Mathematics experts reviewed final changes for approval.

  13. Process • Cursive writing from the ELA GPS was added in 3rd and 4th grades. (Less than 1% of GPS needed to be added to the ELA CCGPS.) • No additional standards were needed from the GPS mathematics for the CCGPS (Georgia adopted 100% of the mathematics CCSS).

  14. Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS) Implementation Timeline 2012-2013 Year 1 Implementation/Transition 2013-2014 Year 2 Implementation; Field Test 2014-2015 Year 3 Implementation and Common Assessment

  15. Assessment • Georgia is a governing state within the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), a consortium of 24 states focused on building a common assessment based on the Common Core. • Implementation is planned for the 2014-2015 school year.
