CCSS Assessment System Transitions Our change to Common Core is at the heart of

assessment changes for ELA and Math NCLB requires states to assess state standards

We’ve changed standards so we need to change assessments What we change to is our choice Smarter Balanced is where we are headed for ELA and Math

IMPT: There are currently no assessment consortia established for Science

Graduation requirements are a state’s choice Supt Dorn is proposing reduced graduation requirements

ESEA Waiver changes expectation that all students are proficient next year (2014) – it gives us more time and more individualized school-based goals

Transition Supports for the“WHAT” and the “HOW”

21

Our guiding beliefs and approach for CCSS Implementation in WA

2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar

2-Prongs:1. The What: Content Shifts (for students and

educators) Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided

a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content.

2. The How: System “Remodeling” Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take

place top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…” Belief that districts across the state have the conditions and

commitment present to engage wholly in this work. Professional learning systems are critical

2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar23

Shifts in ELA1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction

and informational texts in addition to literature2. Reading and writing grounded in evidence from the

text3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic

vocabularyThese apply to content area (social studies, science, and technical subject) teachers as well as to English teachers.

Shifts in Mathematics1. Focus: 2-3 topics focused on deeply in each grade 2. Coherence: Concepts logically connected from one grade

to the next and linked to other major topics within the grade

3. Rigor: Fluency with arithmetic, application of knowledge to real world situations, and deep understanding of mathematical concepts

The “What”: Common Core ELA and Math Shifts

2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar24

1. What do all students need to know and be able to do as a result of the CCSS?

2. What do the adults in the system need to know and be able to do to support all students?

3. How do we design a

professional learning system

to support them?

The “How”: System Remodeling

NEXT: Consider Phase 2 within your Building Context

29

Start the transition by Setting the Course! Identifying a core group of leaders (across grades and

subjects) as a lead CCSS implementation team Take stock of current instructional practices, strengths, and

challenges Establish a shared vision that will guide CCSS implementation

with all students and educators – what will it mean for your district/building?

Developing District-Specific CCSS Implementation Plans Use the CCSS District Readiness Assessment to inform

transition planning Access Achieve and Learning Forward materials to inform

professional learning Establish short and long term goals to begin moving forward

2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar

What should educators be doing to implement CCSS? Use the 3-year transition plan and resources as a guide Attend ESD trainings on the CCSS aligned our

transition plan Take time to collaboratively learn the CCSS in the

transition areas Read and re-read the CCSS Look at examples on the Illustrative Math Project webpage Study relevant Progression document Link content standards to the Big Ideas (ELA) and the

Mathematical Practices Understand the relationships between topics and grades Look for opportunities to incorporate the CCSS in the

classroom

KY Professional Learning Taskforce Report, 2012

2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar

“Professional learning is a comprehensive, sustained, and intensive approach to increase student achievement that strengthens and improves educators’ effectiveness in meeting individual, team, school, district, and state goals.

Professional learning is not an isolated event or a set of events; rather it is ongoing, relevant, job-embedded learning for educators at all stages of career development.

Professional learning supports educators in meeting and exceeding standards of performance, implementing new initiatives, and refining professional practice to increase student achievement.”

Top of Mind Issue:Instructional Materials

A changing landscape that requires a new approach

34

What about instructional materials?

2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar

NOW Overall quality that attends to the major shifts

within the standardsAnd Deeper connections within the content Integrated high leverage instructional practices that

allow every student access to the CCSS within the instructional materials

Resources for Considering Instructional Materials

2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar

OSPI Instructional Materials Web Site: http://www.k12.wa.us/CurriculumInstruct/InstructionalMaterialsReview.aspx

From CCSS Developers… CCSS Publisher’s Criteria – ELA and Math (

http://engageny.org/resource/publishers-criteria-for-elaliteracy-and-math/ )

Going deeper with other states… Tri-State Quality Review Rubrics and Process (

http://engageny.org/resource/tri-state-quality-review-rubric-and-rating-process/)

These tools can be used to… Inform materials review and adoption process Consider existing materials Facilitate targeted discussions, collaboration, and professional

development with publishers and other providers

Considering Open Educational Resources (OERs)

2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar

What are OERs? Teaching and learning resources Use free of charge Revise and distribute Modify without permission

OER may be used as an entire course, full curricular units, lesson plan components, supplemental

materials, or multimedia building blocks for creating new works

OSPI’s OER Project (2012 House Bill 2337)1. Creation of a review process for OER material useful to

districts and sustainable over time2. Development of a vetted list of full-curriculum OER 3. OER awareness campaign directed toward district

curriculum adopter decision-makers

Important OSPI is NOT creating new OER content from scratch. OSPI is providing review of standards alignment and

identification of potential resources – not an adoption mandate

All materials OSPI builds (such as review rubrics, etc), as part of this project, will be licensed CC BY
