  1. Washington CCSS Fellows: The Vision • Build teacher leader capacity in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) across all regions in Washington • Create a state-wide system of supports grounded in a consistent educator network that provides access to implementation resources across the regions • Create a platform for teacher voice to inform statewide implementation efforts • Build on existing opportunities that engage teacher leaders within each region Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  2. 2013 Fellows Work: Kickoff: a partnership with CSTP • Common Core Fellows will develop a deeper understanding of the CCSS • Identify high-leverage practices that support instructional shifts required for implementation of the CCSS. • Consistent and focused professional development that supports implementation of the CCSS.

  5. Theory of Practice for CCSS Implementation in WA 2-Prongs: • 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. • 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 Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  6. Let’s Dig into the Mathematics CCSS! Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  7. The 3 Shifts in CCSSM Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13 • Focus strongly where the standards focus • Coherence: Think across grades and link to major topics within grades • Rigor: In major topics, pursue with equal intensity: • Conceptual understanding • Procedural skill and fluency • Application

  8. Shift One: Focusstrongly where the Standards focus • Move away from "mile wide, inch deep" curricula identified in TIMSS. • Learn from international comparisons. • Teach less, learn more. “Less topic coverage can be associated withhigher scores on those topics covered becausestudents have more time to master thecontent that is taught.” – Ginsburg et al., 2005 Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  9. Attaining Focus in early grades • K-2 is a master class in addition and subtraction - concepts, skills and problem solving • 3-5 turns to multiplication and division of whole numbers and fractions - concepts, skills and problems solving • There is very little data work in K-5, and what’s there is tightly coordinated with core progressions in number systems, the number line, and problem solving using the four operations Concentration on arithmetic and the aspects of measurement that support it Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  10. Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  11. Shift Two: CoherenceThink across grades, and link to major topics within grades • Carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years. • Begin to count on solid conceptual understanding of core content and build on it. Each standard is not a new event, but an extension of previous learning. Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  12. How do students perceive mathematics? • Doing mathematics means following the rules laid down by the teacher. • Knowing mathematics means remembering and applying the correct rule when the teacher asks a question. • Mathematical truth is determined when the answer is ratified by the teacher. -Mathematical Education of Teachers report (2012) Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  13. How do students perceive mathematics? • Students who have understood the mathematics they have studied will be able to solve any assigned problem in five minutes or less. • Ordinary students cannot expect to understand mathematics: they expect simply to memorize it and apply what they have learned mechanically and without understanding. -Mathematical Education of Teachers report (2012) Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  14. CCSS 4.NF.4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number. Grade 4 5.NF.4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction. 5.NF.7. Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. Grade 5 • 6.NS. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions. • 6.NS.1. Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. Grade 6 Informing Grades 1-6 Mathematics Standards Development: What Can Be Learned from High-Performing Hong Kong, Singapore, and Korea?

  15. Coherence: Link to major topics within grades Example: Geometric measurement 3.MD, third cluster Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  16. Shift Three: RigorEqual intensity in conceptual understanding, procedural skill/fluency, and application • The CCSSM require: • Solid conceptual understanding • Procedural skill and fluency • Application of skills in problem solving situations • In the major work of the grade, this requires equal intensity in time, activities, and resources in pursuit of all three Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  17. Required Fluencies in K-6 Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  18. It starts with Focus • The current U.S. curriculum is ‘a mile wide and an inch deep.’ • Focus is necessary in order to achieve the rigor set forth in the standards • More in-depth mastery of a smaller set of things pays off Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  19. The Structure is the Standards A Grecian urn You have just purchased an expensive Grecian urn and asked the dealer to ship it to your house. He picks up a hammer, shatters it into pieces, and explains that he will send one piece a day in an envelope for the next year. You object; he says “don’t worry, I’ll make sure that you get every single piece, and the markings are clear, so you’ll be able to glue them all back together. I’ve got it covered.” Absurd, no? But this is the way many school systems require teachers to deliver mathematics to their students; one piece (i.e. one standard) at a time. They promise their customers (the taxpayers) that by the end of the year they will have “covered” the standards. … “The Standards” refers to all elements of the design—the wording of domain headings, cluster headings, and individual statements; the text of the grade level introductions and high school category descriptions; the placement of the standards for mathematical practice at each grade level. Adapted from “The Structure is the Standards” by Bill McCullum, Phil Daro and Jason Zimba Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  20. 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 Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  21. Standards for Mathematical Practices Graphic Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  22. Some Old Ways of Doing Business • A different topic every day • Every topic treated as equally important • Elementary students dipping into advanced topics at the expense of mastering fundamentals • Infinitesimal advance in each grade; endless review • Incoherence and illogic – bizarre associations, or lacking a thread Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  26. A.SEE Interpret the structure of expressions. Some New Ways of Doing Business Suppose P and Q give the sizes of two different animal populations, where Q>P. In (a)–(d), say which of the given pair of expressions is larger. Briefly explain your reasoning in terms of the two populations. Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13

  27. “Students can demonstrate progress toward college and career readiness in mathematics.” Claims for the Mathematics Summative Assessment • “Students can demonstrate college and career readiness in mathematics.” Overall Claim for Grades 3-8 • “Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency.” Overall Claim for Grade 11 • “Students can solve a range of complex well-posed problems in pure and applied mathematics, making productive use of knowledge and problem solving strategies.” Claim #1 - Concepts & Procedures • “Students can clearly and precisely construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others.” Claim #2 - Problem Solving • “Students can analyze complex, real-world scenarios and can construct and use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems.” Claim #3 - Communicating Reasoning Claim #4 - Modeling and Data Analysis Fellows Kick-off Webinar 2-20-13
