California Common Core State Standards & SMARTER BALANCED ASSESSMENT CONSORTIUM (SBAC)

1. California Common Core State Standards& SMARTER BALANCED ASSESSMENT CONSORTIUM (SBAC)

2. Goals • Review of Recent Legislation • Brief overview of CCSS key points • SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC)

3. www.corestandards.org/ California adopted CCSS August 2, 2010

4. CA 15% CCSS vs. CaCCSS • Substantively enhance • Address a perceived gap • Be defensible to classroom practitioners • Keep the original standard intact • Ensure the rigor of California’s existing standards is maintained Source: ELA CCSS; www.corestandards.org

6. Grade Level by Year

7. CCSS supplemental materials SB 140 Materials designed to bridge the gap between the content in the adopted materials and the CCSS • Publishers of state-adopted programs K-7 can submit supplemental instructional materials. • Materials will be reviewed and recommended list to be posted on CDE website – October 2012. Intent: • Supplemental materials include the minimum amount of content needed to fully address the CCSS; • Costs for districts to purchase and implement the supplements be kept as low as possible This process is: • Conducted by the CDE • Voluntary • Only for publishers of current SBE-adopted basic materials • A review of supplemental materials not full programs • Only an advisory for school districts • Not a state adoption

8. A Closer Look at the ELA Standards Three sets: • English Language Arts (ELA) K-5 & 6-12 • Reading • Writing • Speaking & Listening • Language • Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects • K-5: Embedded in ELA • 6-12: Separate section

9. Similar to California Standards A Few Placement Shifts

10. Portrait of a Proficient Student They demonstrate independence. They build strong content knowledge. They respond to the varying demands of audience, task, purpose and discipline. They comprehend as well as critique. They value evidence. They use technology and digital media strategically and capably. They come to understand other perspectives and cultures.

12. Reading Anchor 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. • Reading Standards for Literature Standard 1 (RL1) • Ask and answer questions about details in a text (K-1st) • + 5 Ws (2nd) • + reference the text (3rd) • +draw inferences (4th) • +quote accurately (5th) • +support analysis (6th) • +cite several pieces of textual evidence (7th) • +cite evidence…most strongly supports (8th) • +cite strong & thorough evidence(9-10th) • +determine where the text leaves matters uncertain (11-12th)

17. A Closer Look at the Mathematics Standards Two Types: Mathematical Practice • Recurring throughout the grade levels Mathematical Content • Different at each grade level

18. Common Core Standards: Mathematical Proficiency • Standards for Mathematical Practice • Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert student • Relate to mathematical proficiency as defined by the California Framework

19. Standards for Mathematical PracticeMathematically proficient students: 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them …start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively …make sense of quantities and their relationships to problem situations 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others …understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments 4. Model with mathematics …can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace

20. Standards for Mathematical PracticeMathematically proficient students: 5. Use appropriate tools strategically …consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem 6. Attend to precision …calculate accurately and efficiently 7. Look for and make use of structure …look closely to discern a pattern or structure 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning …notice if calculations are repeated, and look for both general methods and for shortcuts

21. K-8 Grade Section Overview Page

22. Standards & Clusters Domain cluster Standards (1, 1.1, 2 & 3)

24. California Grade 8 Options • Goal for 8th grade students is Algebra 1 • Not all students have the necessary prerequisite skills for Algebra 1 • Two sets of standards for grade 8 • Each set will prepare students for college and career • Standards for Algebra 1 • Taken from 8th grade Common Core, high school Algebra content cluster and CA Algebra standards • 8th grade Common Core • Goal of grade 8 Common Core is to finalize preparation for students in high school • K-7 standards as augmented prepare students for either set of standards

25. Mathematics Standards for High School

26. Assessment • SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC). • One of two Assessment Consortiums. • California is one of 19 governing states– joined June 9, 2011 • There are 10 additional advisory states. • Washington is the fiscal agent • WestEd is the Project Manager • http://www.smarterbalanced.org • Timeline • Pilot Test Items 2011-2014 • Field Test 2013-2014 • Implementation 2014-15

27. SBAC States

28. SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium • Test will be for grades 3-8 and one in high school - probably grade 11 • Additionally, California currently requires testing in grade 2. • Administered via computer • Paper-and-pencil will probably be offered for three years for those that lack sufficient technology. • Assess full range of CCSS in English language arts and mathematics

29. SMARTER Balanced Basics • End-of-year summative assessment • Performance Tasks • Computer-adaptive assessment • Optional interim assessment tools to be used for diagnostic purposes throughout the school year • Optional formative resources (best practices, instructional resources)

30. Summative Assessment for Accountability Summative Assessment (Last 12 weeks of school year) • Performance Tasks • 1 reading, 1 writing and 2 math • Delivered via computer • Each task requires one to two class periods to complete • Computer Adaptive Assessments • 40-65 questions per content area • Item types • Selected-response • Constructed response • Technology-enhanced items. • Retake option • Results • Expected within two weeks • Show current achievement and growth across time • Comparable from state-to-state
