  1. CCRS The BB Implementation of the College and Career Ready Standards “Determining our Path”

  2. What is the CCRS? …Then What arethe Common Core Standards? • Many States adopted the Common Core Standards and then added a few specific State standards of their own. • Because they did not adopt the Common Core in its original format, each State named its own variation on the adopted standards. • In Alabama, we refer to our common core plus state standards as the College and Career Ready Standards, or the CCRS.

  3. When Do We Implement the CCRS? • 2012-2013 • We implement the Math CCRS. • The 2010 Math CoS aligns with the CCRS. • Go Math! aligns with the Math CoS and the CCRS. • The ARMT+ aligns only with the 2003 Math CoS. • 2013-2014 • We implement the ELA CCRS. • The ELA CoS will also be implemented in 2013-2014

  4. How Do We Get Started? • Math • Because we are implementing this year, more specific efforts will be focused here. • Our textbook series will serve as a powerful resource. • Fostering number sense is crucial. • Best practices… particularly regarding questioning… will be more important than ever. • The assessment will contain “real world” problems. Likely word problems. Like more information or numbers than are needed to solve the problems. • ELA • Full implementation comes next year, so this year will be focused on foundation skills. • As with math, higher-level questioning is at the heart of the CCRS. • Because writing requires so much thinking, writing is considered a key to unlocking the CCRS. • The assessment will likely revolve around reading something, analyzing that, and then applying that to another set of circumstances and noting similarities or differences.

  5. Why We Need anImplementation Plan… • Barkley Bridge Elementary School • General Timeline of Implementation • for the College and Career Ready Standards • 2012-2013 School Year • Semester One • English Language Arts PLT- Kelly Meadows is Chairperson, Penny Roy, Cindy Depreast, Pam Smith, Pam Weaver • Math PLT- Amanda Godsey is Chairperson, Kim Powell, Angie Harris, Christy Zuck, Phyllis Bradford, Kim Jared, Susan Hogan • Your BB Representatives on the District’s CCRS Implementation Team- Susan Hayes and Amanda Godsey • Grade Level Reps for Math Implementation- K??? , Joy Thomas, Amanda Godsey, Beverly Spurlin, Christy Zuck, Susan Hogan (Note: Math Reps should complete green sheets and secure all-day subs for the 10.23.12 training day.) • General Information that Affects All • 9.13.2012- Hayes and Godsey attend State-sponsored College and Career Ready Standards Implementation training as part of a school district team. • Week of 9.17.12- BB teachers selected go-to math representatives from each grade level. • Weeks of 9.24.12 and 10.1.12- Hayes observed several teachers teaching math with the Go Math! series. This observation was part of a learning exercise for Hayes and not part of the evaluation process for those teachers. • Hayes will provide the Math PLT with several higher math questions/ question stems to get their feedback of which teachers would find most “easily integratable” into their current instruction AND how to present them to teachers. On a “key ring”? On equity sticks? On index cards? On a list? Etc…. • 9.25.12- Hayes attended a seminar under the direction of Dr. Bill Daggett to examine the bigger picture of how states have reached the common core standards as well as the road to the next generation assessments and, most likely, teacher evaluations with some component tied to student achievement/improvement. • 9.26.12- Hayes met with ARI consultant Dr. Casanova to begin an implementation plan for the ELA CCRS. Hayes shared with Reading Coach and Lead Teacher Hagemann. • 10.1.12- Faculty Meeting with Darren Butler. Discussion of Virtual Village and ELA CCRS. • Week of 10.1.12- Math PLT will meet and will compile a list of 5 to 10 things (games, tasks, questioning techniques… whatever they believe to be a do-able/ adaptable list) teachers can to right now to build “number sense” in students of all grades.

  6. The Math CCRS ExaminesLearning in Two Ways… • Practice Standards- • How the students are learning… • Content Standards- • What the students are learning…

  7. The Standards for Mathematical Practice… The HOW… As you use Go Math!, as you focus on number sense, as you build problem solving skills, as you probe and question…. In everything you do, consider these verbs and these standards for practice. This will prepare you for the coming Next Generation assessments. • #1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • #2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • #3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • #4 Model with mathematics. • #5 Use appropriate tools strategically. • #6 Attend to precision. • #7 Look for and make use of structure. • #8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

  8. Your 2010 Math CoS… • Pages 6-9 of your CoS provide you with detailed explanations of what each Practice Standard means. • Again, these do not address WHAT you teach, these address HOW you teach. These practice standards should weave their way into every lesson, regardless of content. • Find the “worksheet” with the 8 Standards on it. There are checkmarks on the sheet. You may find this helpful in your planning.

  9. The Content Standards…The WHAT • First, know that these are designed to focus “deep” instead of “wide.” You are encouraged to spend more time on each standard. • Standards are not introduced in one grade and taught to mastery in another. If a standard is in the CoS for a grade level, it is to be taught to mastery in that grade level. • Using the Flip Book resource off the ALEX site really helps you understand exactly what you are to do. There is also a Misconceptions portion at the bottom that is helpful… a “what not to do” section.

  10. The Content Standards-The WHAT… Notice how the Standards for Mathematics Practice are included in a gray box in each section. This is because they are to be integrated into every lesson. • The Domain is a large cluster of standards. There is consistency from grade to grade with the Domain. (shaded) • Related content standards are clustered within a domain. • The content standards are then numbered. • The Content Standard Identifier consists of the grade level and the title of the Domain as well as the numbered Content Standard. (You are also seeing these in Go Math!) • “The What” has to be adjusted for this year using the Correlation Document.

  11. This Year? Don’t stress. We are going to get on top of this. You are good teachers. All you need is a good plan. Adhere to it. • Yes. At a recent conference, Dr. Horton learned that the 2012-2013 school year is the last year we will administer the ARMT+. • Good News- We won’t have to administer a test measuring the 2003 standards so, next year, we can completely convert to the 2010 CCRS CoS in math. • Scary News- We will take the Next Generation Assessment in 2014. And that will be the first full implementation year of the ELA CoS.

  12. The ELA CCRS Examines Learningand Literacy in Today’s World… READING Themes Key Ideas and Details Craft and Structure Integration of Knowledge and Ideas Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity • “As a natural outgrowth of meeting the charge to define college and career readiness, the standards also lay out a vision of what it means to be a literate person in the twenty-first century.” • These words best describe this: attentive, critical, engaged, careful, thoughtful, logical, creative, and purposeful.

  13. The ELA CCRS Examines Learningand Literacy in Today’s World… The ELA CoS standards do not have to be implemented until next year, but the Next Gen assessment will be next Spring. An early look at these standards makes the most sense. I anticipate comprehensive Next Gen questions that incorporate all areas of the CoS. • The ELA CoS is also very specific in its expectations of student writing skills, listening skills, and speaking skills. • All of these are designed to come together to create the literate, 21st century student. • In grades 6-12, there are specific provisions for reading across content areas. These are to be merged with the content-area CoS specifics.

  14. What Does a Next Gen QuestionLook Like? • According to the ed.gov site, the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium has been awarded a piece of the contract to assemble the Next Generation assessment items. • The “Gas Bills” handout poses a situation and then two project-type response opportunities. This question is designed by the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium. • According to Dr. Bill Daggett with ICLE, this is a sample eighth grade math problem… a prototype for a Next Gen Assessment problem. • Alabama is part of the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium, so I am assuming an Alabama test item would be similar to this one. • ELA? All I know so far is that it will align closely with the new CoS.

  15. What Does a Next Gen QuestionLook Like? • The ELA sample question I have seen was written for a high school student, but it involved reading a passage and responding to it. • Then “synthesizing the various perspectives” in that passage and other text that the student can choose and name. The student-chosen text needs to have a similar theme to the text provided. • Then using all of that information, the student is to design a profile of a typical character present in these types of text. • And concluding with writing a reflective essay on what was learned as a result of this multi-part assignment. • Even if you scale that back a few years, it won’t be a simple Q and A or even similar to the Writing Assessment in my opinion.

  16. The paper bag provided for you… • Is there if you need to throw up or breathe slowly in and out to prevent hyperventilation.

  17. So…What Can You Do Today? • Go to the ALEX site. The Math and ELA Courses of Study are available. The icon is at the top of the screen. • At the bottom of the screen is an icon that looks like a compass. Look there for Flip Books and other CCRS resources. • Your ELA PLT and Virtual Village- Focus on WRITING • Go Math!- Focus on the PROBLEM SOLVING • Your Math PLT- Focus on QUESTIONING and BUILDING NUMBER SENSE • WE CANNOT DELAY!
