NThe Common Core State Standards Initiative - BackgroundBeginning in the spring of 2009, Governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia committed to developing a common core of state K-12 English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics standards.
States agreed to participate in the development process, provide input on drafts, and consider eventual adoption.Signing MOA did not require commitment to adopt.
The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) with assistance from Project Achieve, ACT and the College Board (SAT). O

NCurrent and Future Focus for Common State Standards
Current (led by CCSSO and NGA): K-12 English Language Arts Common Core State Standards K-12 Mathematics Common Core State Standards
Future (currently led by various national associations): Next Generation Science Standards(draft by Fall 2011)
(Framework currently under development) English Language Development Standards (within 1 year) Social Studies (within 2 years) Arts (development may begin in January 2011)

Why Common Core State Standards? Preparation: The standards articulate college- and career-
readiness. They will help ensure students acquire the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in post-secondary education and training.
Competition: The standards are internationally benchmarked. Common standards will help ensure our students are globally competitive.
Clarity: The standards are focused, coherent, and clear. Clearer standards help students (and parents and teachers) understand what is expected of them.

Why Common Core State Standards?, cont. Equity: Expectations are consistent for all – and not dependent
on a student’s state of residence. States have time to consider what state-specific additions to the
standards might look like
Collaboration: The standards create a foundation to work collaboratively across states and districts, pooling resources and expertise, to create curricular tools including textbooks, professional development, common assessments and other materials.
Opportunities for ALIGNED and CONNECTED SYSTEMS:• “Common standards” is a common thread among current and
evolving national initiatives and opportunities• Standards – Instruction – Assessment

Common Core State Standards Design
Building on the strength of current standards across many states, the CCSS are designed to be:
Focused, coherent, clear and rigorous
Internationally benchmarked
Anchored in college and career readiness*
Evidence and research based
*Ready for first-year credit-bearing, postsecondary coursework in mathematics and English without the need for remediation.

Intentional Design Limitations
What the Standards do NOT define:
How teachers should teach All that can or should be taught The nature of advanced work beyond the core The interventions needed for students well below grade level The full range of support for English language learners and
students with special needs Everything needed to be college and career ready

National Process and Timeline
K-12 Common Standards: Core writing teams in English Language Arts and Mathematics (See
www.corestandards.org for list of team members) drafted standards
External and state feedback teams provided on-going feedback to writing teams throughout the process
Draft K-12 standards were released for public comment on March 10, 2010; 9,600 comments received nationwide (~ 900 from WA)
Validation Committee of leading experts reviewed standards
Final standards were released June 2, 2010
As of September 8, 2010, 36 states have formally adopted the common core state standards.

Common Core Standards for Mathematics
Grade-Level Standards K-8 grade-by-grade standards organized by domain 9-12 high school standards organized by conceptual categories
(Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics & Probability) Course progressions included in Appendices
Some standards go beyond “career and college readiness level” (e.g., STEM concepts, denoted by “+”) are a thread throughout but go beyond what all students will need to know and at high school may lead to a 4th year of math
Standards for Mathematical Practice Describe mathematical “habits of mind” Standards for mathematical proficiency: reasoning, problem
solving, modeling, decision making, and engagement Carry across grade levels and connect with content standards in
each grade

Key Advances
Focus and coherence• Focus on key topics at each grade level.• Coherent progressions across grade levels.
Balance of concepts and skills• Content standards require both conceptual understanding and
procedural fluency.
Mathematical practices• Foster reasoning and sense-making in mathematics.
College and career readiness• Level is ambitious but achievable.

The Purpose of the ConsortiumTo 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.
The assessments shall be operational across Consortium states in the 2014-15 school year.
Note: States must have formally adopted the Common Core State Standards by January 2012 in order to remain in the Consortium.

NWhat does this mean for Washington’s existing Learning Standards?
Washington’s current Learning Standards in all subjects should continue to be implemented in classrooms. Current state assessments will align with these standards through
the 2013-14 school year.
If the Common Core State English language arts and mathematics standards are formally adopted in WA, They would be phased in over 2 years to replace WA’s current
reading, writing, and mathematics standards by the 2014-15 year.

Comparison Overview
Two state-level comparisons External Analysis – Hanover Research (final drafts completed) Washington-led Comparison (work done in late August; currently
being compiled)
Multiple purposes Snapshot of “how well” WA standards match to the CCS Snapshot of “how well” CCS match to WA standards
So that… WA educators can have a clear understanding of CCS in relation to
current standards We can determine what areas may need augmentation in which
grades for subsequent support

Adoption ≠ Implementation
State Superintendent has authority to adopt –
• Following collaboration, input, and buy-in from key partners and stakeholder groups (State Board, Legislature, state curriculum advisors, content experts, etc.)
When considering adoption, States must adopt 100% of the CCSS, but may adopt additional standards (“up to” 15%)
• States responsible for setting the criteria and assessing the additions
Once adopted, implementation would be phased in over several school years; assessment would follow in 2014-15 school year
