  1. Purpose of the Montana Common Core Standards “These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step. It is time for states to work together to build on lessons learned from two decades of standards based reforms.” -Common Core State Standards for Mathematics

  2. Montana Common Core Standards Overview Module 1

  3. Overview Topics • Journey to Montana Common Core Standards • Structure and Content of Standards • Assessment of Student Learning

  4. Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) Led by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association May 2009, State Superintendent Juneau and Governor Schweitzer signed a Memorandum of Agreement Montana involved educators from across the state in a thoughtful process

  5. Common Core State Standards: A New Foundation for Student Success Hunt Institute and CCSSO Common Core Implementation Video Series

  6. Common Core State Standards Initiative Criteria • Fewer, higher, and clearer for effective policy and practice; • Aligned with college and career expectations for all students’ success upon graduation; • Inclusive of rigorous content and applications of knowledge for 21st century skilled students; • Internationally benchmarked for success in our global economy and society; and • Research- and evidence-based.

  7. Common Core States

  8. The Montana Common Core Standards for Math and ELA establish high expectations for student learning and achievement that will enable all students to be competitive on a district, state, national and global scale.

  9. Common Core is Right for Montana • Establish high expectations for student learning and achievement in Math and English Language Arts • Set literacy goals for History/Social Studies, Science and Technical subjects • Provide clear, nationally consistent guidelines • Maintain Montana's values and priorities, including Indian Education for All

  10. Montana’s Legal, Ethical, Instructional Responsibility • Process for inclusion of Indian Education standards January– May 2011 : • K-20 content and IEFA experts from across the state • Purposeful placement of IEFA language embedded in existing standards for most effective inclusion • Reviewed by Montana educators http://www.opi.mt.gov/Programs/IndianEd/Index.html

  11. Montana’s Legal, Ethical, Instructional Responsibility • “In regard to the National Common Core Standards, MACIE recommends that the Board of Public Education accepts the Indian Education for All additions.” (Ms Norma Bixby) http://www.opi.mt.gov/Programs/IndianEd/Index.html

  12. Implementation Assessment The Montana Process Board of Public Education adopted the 2011 Montana Common Core Standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects July 2013 Spring 2015 Board of Public Education approved the Recommen- dation to follow process for adoption of standards based on Common Core State Standards May 2011 November 4, 2011 Fall 2011 Notice of Public Hearing

  13. Montana Common Core Standards Timeline

  14. How are these components related in Standards-Based Education Determine a graphic that best describes the relationship between these components: • Content Standards • Curriculum • Instruction • Assessment

  15. Reflection Questions • What does it mean to be standards-based? • Where are students as we examine the relationships? • Explain the possible shifts in thinking that may need to occur for the relationship to be part of a dynamic process? • What is your role in the school system as it relates to standards, curriculum, instruction, assessment?

  16. Overview Topics • Journey to Montana Common Core Standards • Structure and Content of Standards • Assessment of Student Learning

  17. ELA Common Core Structure

  18. Mathematics Common Core Structure

  19. Specific Grade Level Expectations • Balance reading informational text and literature • Write to inform or persuade using evidence • Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects • Standards for Mathematical Practice • Focus and coherence with “Big Ideas” that progress from year to year • Deep understanding and application of math

  27. Overview Topics • Journey to Montana Common Core Standards • Structure and Content of Standards • Assessment of Student Learning

  28. The Purpose of the Consortium • To develop a set of comprehensive and innovative assessments for grades 3-8 and high school in English language arts and mathematics aligned to the Common Core State Standards • To ensure that all students leave high school prepared for postsecondary success in college or a career through increased student learning and improved teaching. • The assessments shall be operational across consortium states in the 2014-15 school year.

  29. Benefits of a Multi-State Consortium • Less cost and more capabilities through scope of work sharing and collaboration • More control through open-source software platforms for online adaptive testing and test items/questions • Better service for students with disabilities and EL students through common, agreed-upon protocols for accommodations

  30. SMARTER BalancedAssessment Consortium

  31. Assessment System Components Summative Assessment • Mandatory comprehensive assessment in grades 3-8 and 11 that supports accountability and measures growth • Selected response, short constructed response, extended constructed response, technology enhanced, and performance tasks • Computer – adaptive format Interim Assessment • Available for administration throughout the year • Selected response, short constructed response, extended constructed response, technology enhanced and performance tasks Formative Process and Tools

  32. Assessment Between Now and School Year 2014-15 • CRT based on “old” standards • Reporting stays the same • Field testing • Items aligned to proposed Montana CCS • Progressive release of field test items aligned to proposed Montana CCS
