Common Core State Standards in Mathematics Webinar Series – Part One

1. Common Core State Standards in Mathematics Webinar Series – Part One Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy I. Dorn, State Superintendent

3. Agenda for today’s webinar • Overview of Common Core State Standards Initiative • Introduction to Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium • In-depth look at the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics • Transition documents and available resources • Next steps

4. About You • We’d like to know a little about who is out there. • Time for a poll.

5. Washington’s Vision for Education Every Washington public school student will graduate from high school globally competitive for work and postsecondary education and prepared for life in the 21st century.

6. Our Learning Goals as a Strong Foundation • Read with comprehension, write effectively, and communicate successfully in a variety of ways and settings and with a variety of audiences; • Know and apply the core concepts and principles of mathematics; social, physical, and life sciences; civics and history, including different cultures and participation in representative government; geography; arts; and health and fitness; • Think analytically, logically, and creatively, and to integrate technology literacy and fluency as well as different experiences and knowledge to form reasoned judgments and solve problems; and • Understand the importance of work and finance and how performance, effort, and decisions directly affect future career and educational opportunities.(Updated in 2011: SSB 5392)

7. Common Core State Standards… • describe the knowledge and skills in English language arts and mathematics that students will need when they graduate, whatever their choice of college or career. • are based on the best national and international standards, giving our students a competitive advantage in the global economy.

8. Adoption of CCSS by over 40+ States The standards were developed by educators nationwide through a process led by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association.

9. Common Core Implementation Timeline

10. The Case for Common Core (CCSS) Clarity: The standards are focused on the most critical skills needed for college and career readiness. Cost-effective: States are pooling resources and expertise to implement the standards. Student success: Students will develop the knowledge and skills they need to be successful. Standard from state to state: Expectations are the same for students across most states, so they don’t lose ground when they move from one state to another.

11. We believe this can only occur through… • Collaboration • Coordination • Commitment “From the school house to the state house…”

12. Reflection (as a team or individually) What type of professional development have you experienced in the past that has given you the most powerful tools for improving instruction, implementing new programs, or gaining content or pedagogical knowledge?

13. Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy I. Dorn, State Superintendent

14. What about assessment?SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) 44 states participating in assessment consortia The SBAC goal… • 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. • So 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. To learn more...the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium can be found online at http://www.k12.wa.us/SMARTER/

15. SBAC Assessment System Components Summative assessments benchmarked to college and career readiness Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness Teachers can access formative processes and tools to improve instruction All students leave high school college and career ready Interim assessments that are flexible, open, and provide actionable feedback

16. System Highlights English Language Arts and Mathematics, Grades 3–8 and High School BEGINNING OF YEAR END OF YEAR Last 12 weeks of year* DIGITAL CLEARINGHOUSE of formative tools, processes and exemplars; released items and tasks; model curriculum units; educator training; professional development tools and resources; scorer training modules; and teacher collaboration tools. INTERIM ASSESSMENT INTERIM ASSESSMENT Computer Adaptive Assessment and Performance Tasks Computer Adaptive Assessment and Performance Tasks • PERFORMANCE • TASKS • Reading • Writing • Math END OF YEAR ADAPTIVE ASSESSMENT Scope, sequence, number, and timing of interim assessments locally determined Re-take option Optional Interim assessment system— Summative assessment for accountability * Time windows may be adjusted based on results from the research agenda and final implementation decisions.

18. Common Core State Standards The Big Ideas in MATH Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy I. Dorn, State Superintendent

19. Major Shifts within Mathematics CCSS Focus • Fewer big ideas --- learn more • Learning of concepts is emphasized Coherence • Articulated progressions of topics and performances that are developmental and connected to other progressions Application • Being able to apply concepts and skills to new situations

20. CCSS Design and Organization

21. Structural Comparison:WA Standards vs. CCSS Mathematics For full comparison informational handout go to: http://k12.wa.us/Corestandards/default.aspx.

22. High School Pathways • The CCSSM Model Pathways • Two models that organize the CCSSM into coherent, rigorous courses • NOT required. The two sequences are examples, not mandates • Pathway A: Consists of two algebra courses and a geometry course, with some data, probability and statistics infused throughout each (traditional) • Pathway B: Typically seen internationally that consists of a sequence of 3 courses each of which treats aspects of algebra, geometry and data, probability, and statistics.

23. 8 CCSSM Mathematical Practices Standards for Mathematical Practice • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them • Reason abstractly and quantitatively • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others • Model with mathematics • Use appropriate tools strategically • Attend to precision • Look for and make use of structure • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

30. Transitional Resources for Mathematics Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy I. Dorn, State Superintendent

31. Three-Year Transition Plan for Common Core State Standards for Mathematics by Grade Level

32. State Resources for Transition Grade-level transition documents describe: • What standards to continue • What standards to remove • What standards to move to

34. Resources for Implementation • Progressions for the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics • The Illustrative Mathematics Project • Mathematics Curriculum Analysis Project • From Arizona: A graphic overview of the CCSS Mathematics along with standards delineated by grade level. http://k12.wa.us/CoreStandards/Resources.aspx • Parent Resource Guides: http://www.pta.org/4446.htm
