  2. Agenda 9:30 – 11:40 am • Introductions • Common Core Background & Overview • Michigan Dept. of Education - Crosswalks • 21st Century Learners • Project-Based Lessons • LSSI Teamwork

  3. Housekeeping • SB-CEUs – stamp in/out • Questions, thoughts or comments? • Parking lot – in back of room • Wall Wisher Electronic – www.wallwisher.com/wall/elacommoncorek5#

  4. Provide a common definition of college and career readiness in ELA and Mathematics. • Are national standards. • Contain content that is quite different from Michigan’s current GLCEs and HSCEs. • All of the above A QUIZ! The Common Core State Standards:

  5. Xtranormal video • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN33N_zPB4k • Xtranormal Video maker http://www.xtranormal.com/

  6. Who Developed the Standards? • The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) • Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) • Forty-eight states, two territories, and the District of Columbia have joined this state-led process.

  7. Why were they developed? • To create the next generation of K-12 standards in order to help ensure that all students are college and career ready in literacy no later than the end of high school.

  8. Who were the experts? • State representatives, educators, content experts, researchers, national organizations, and community groups with feedback (Michigan was included) • Informed by the standards of other high performing nations. • An Advisory Group included experts from Achieve, Inc., ACT, the College Board, the National Association of State Boards of Education, and the State Higher Education Executive Officers. • States and national organizations reviewed and provided evidence-based feedback throughout the process. (Michigan was included)

  9. What has been developed? • Common definition of College and Career Readiness (CCR). • Common K-12 progression of knowledge and skill to reach College and Career Readiness CCR). • K-12 framework for curriculum + College and Career Readiness Standards K-12 Content Standards

  10. Standards are: • research & evidence based, • aligned with college and work expectations, • rigorous, and • internationally benchmarked. • Standards are included only when mastery was essential for college and career readiness in a 21st century, globally competitive society. • Meant to be a living work, changing as new evidence emerges.

  11. A QUIZ! The Common Core State Standards: • Are internationally benchmarked. • Provide alternate standards for ELL (English Language Learners) and SWD (Students with Disabilities) . • Detail all content that should be taught at each grade level. • All of the above

  12. Two content areas: • Math and English Language Arts - Reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language. • Standards set requirements for ELA and for literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects, specifying the literacy skills and understandings required for college and career readiness in multiple disciplines. They are not meant to replace the 6-12 standards in these subjects, but to supplement them.

  13. When did Michigan adopt the CCSS? Michigan’s State Board of Education adopted the CCSS on June 15, 2010. They will be fully implemented in the 2013-2014 school year.

  14. How will adoption of the CCSS impact MI Merit Curriculum (MMC) requirements? The MMC course/credit descriptions will be modified, as necessary, to align with the CCSS as adopted. The descriptions will reference both the HSCE and the CCSS. Redundancies will be eliminated. The HSCE will continue to guide course/credit development. Future assessments will reference the CCSS. Mathematics The CCSS for Mathematics organize high school standards, not by grade or course, but by concept/domain (the headings of the CCR for Mathematics), allowing each state to develop course sequences (traditional or integrated). MMC course/credit descriptions will be modified, as necessary, to align with CCSS so that students who meet the MMC requirements for Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II will meet the Common Core high school standards.

  15. How will adoption of the CCSS impact MI Merit Curriculum (MMC) requirements? • Content Area Literacy Standards • The CCSS for ELA/Literacy (Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, and Language) define college and career readiness across content areas. They are supported by the CCK-12 Standards for English Language Arts as well as by 6-12 (CCR) Standards for Reading and Writing in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. • English Language Arts • The MMC requirements for English 9-12 define a unit framework for addressing and meeting the Michigan HSCE (standards and expectations) and grade-level dispositions. The framework will be updated to indicate the CCSS addressed in each section. The CCSS (9-12/CCR) are fully addressed in the HSCE, the unit framework, and the recommended units of instruction. The HSCE provide guidance for unit development that complements and further defines the CCSS.

  16. How will adoption of the CCSS impact MI Merit Curriculum (MMC) requirements? • Content Area Literacy Standards • The CCSS for ELA/Literacy (Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, and Language) define college and career readiness across content areas. They are supported by the CCK-12 Standards for English Language Arts as well as by 6-12 (CCR) Standards for Reading and Writing in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. • History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects • The Michigan ELA HSCE define literacy across content areas, with strands 1 and 2 specifically addressing communication (writing, speaking, and expressing) and information access (close and critical reading, listening, and viewing). The 6-12 (CCR)

  17. What will happen to MEAP & the MI Merit Exam (MME) now that the CCSS have been adopted? At this time, the Common Core State Standards have been developed to address only ELA/Literacy and Mathematics. There will be no impact on MEAP Science or Social Studies. Michigan, with other states, will develop common assessments to assess the CCSS for ELA/Literacy and Mathematics, anticipated to replace MEAP and MME for ELA and Mathematics in 2014-15. Until that point, the MEAP and MME ELA and Mathematics assessments will continue to be based on the current GLCE and HSCE.

  18. What will happen to MEAP-Access and MI-Access when the CCSS are adopted? The Common Core State Standards are only being developed to address general assessments. Modified assessments will continue to be developed by states. However, since the content standards for ELA and mathematics have changed, MEAP-Access and MI-Access Mathematics and ELA would need also to be based on the CCSS (or extensions of the common core for MI-Access).

  19. Do the CCSS represent national standards? Will they lead to a national curriculum & common national assessment? Decisions about development and adoption of common curricula and assessments will continue to be left to state boards of education. The CCSSI has developed standards which will be adopted by states and used as the framework for developing state-level curricula and assessments. Participation in the CCSSI does not require that states adopt a common curriculum or that they participate in one common assessment.

  20. What are the benefits of adopting the CCSS? Shared goals and expectations for each state’s students. For example, the Common Core State Standards will enable participating states to work together to: • Make expectations for students clear to parents, teachers, and the general public. • Encourage the development of textbooks, digital media, and other teaching materials aligned to the standards. • Develop and implement comprehensive, balanced assessments to measure student performance that will replace existing testing programs that are difficult to compare across the country and often do not provide educators with enough information to make timely decisions that positively impact instruction. • Evaluate policy changes needed to help students and educators meet the standards.

  24. Shared responsibility for student’s literacy Development

  25. A Vision of K-12 Students Today • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A-ZVCjfWf8 • If this is today’s student, what do you think school will look like by 2020?

  26. What does it mean to be literate in the 21st Century? • Students can understand and enjoy complex works of literature. • Perform critical reading needed to pick through digital and print information. • Thoughtful engagement with high-quality literary and informational texts for knowledge, to enlarge experience and broaden world views. • Demonstrate reasoning and use of evidence that is essential to both private deliberation and responsible citizenship. • “In short, students who meet the Standards develop the skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening that are the foundation for any creative and purposeful expression in language.”

  27. A QUIZ! The Common Core State Standards forEnglish Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects: • Recommend certain content, such as classic myths, Shakespeare, and foundational US documents. • Use the CCR standards as anchor standards across all grade levels. • Insist that instruction in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language be a shared responsibility within a school. • All of the above.
