Common Core Update – Opening
March 11, 2013
Common Core Standards
What are the Common Core Standards? How do the Common Core Standards
compare to the California Content Standards?
When should the Common Core Standards be FULLY implemented?
Common Core Standards Aspects of the Common Core
Ever Changing California in Smarter Balanced
Consortium27 States43% of K-12 students across United States
Common Core Update Rigorous, research-based standards for
English-language arts and mathematics for grades K-12
Designed to prepare the nation’s students with the knowledge and skills needed for success in college and the work force
Internationally benchmarked to ensure that students will be globally competitive
Common Core Update
In 2009, the Council of Chief Sate School Officers (CCSSO) and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) committed to developing a set of standards that would help prepare students for success in college and career
In September 2009, College and Career Readiness standards were released
This work became the foundation for the Common Core
Common Core Update A voluntary state-led initiative coordinated
by Council of Chief State School Officers and National Governors’ Association
Includes parents, educators, content experts, researchers, national organizations and community groups from 46 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia
Alaska, Minnesota, Texas and Virginia not currently participating
Common Core Update
California Senate Bill 1 (SB x5) Established an Academic Content
Standards Commission (ACSC) to develop mathematics and English-language arts standards
85% of the standards had to be CCSS 15% additional standards from the State
Common Core Update
The Common Core Standards are expected to align with the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) framework Grade 4 Literary text (50%); Informational
text (50%) Grade 8 Literary text (45%); Informational
text (55%)
Common Core Update
Major study using three alignment indices comparing Common Common to California Standards: Categorical Concurrence: the extent of overlap or
match between the comparison standards and the Common Core standards.
Depth of Knowledge Consistency: a comparison of cognitive demand of matched content between the sets of comparison standards and the Common Core standards.
Breadth of Coverage: how broadly matched comparison standards cover content elements of the Common Core standards.

Common Core Plan - California Facilitate high quality professional learning
opportunities for educators to ensure that every student has access to teachers who are prepared to teach to the levels of rigor and depth required by the CCSS
Provide CCSS-aligned instructional resources designed to meet the diverse needs of all students
Develop and transition to CCSS-aligned assessment systems to inform instruction, establish priorities for professional learning, and provide tools for accountability
Collaborate with parents, guardians and the early childhood and extended learning communities to integrate the CCSS into programs and activities beyond the K–12 school setting
California Common Core Plan Collaborate with the postsecondary and business
communities to ensure that all students are prepared for success in career and college
Seek, create, and disseminate resources to support stakeholders as CCSS systems implementation moves forward
Design and establish systems of effective communication among stakeholders to continuously identify areas of need and disseminate information

Common Core Update
Next steps Need to become more knowledgeable of
Common Core Need to understand Smarter Balance
Assessment system (including four styles of questions)
Need to know technology requirements Need instructional resources Most important – Instructional
strategies and planning critical
