  2. Session Overview Setting the Stage Why Do We Need CCSS And New Assessments Critical Components Of The CCSS and New Assessments Tools for Planning and Successful Implementation

  3. ?? Why are CCSS Important ??

  4. The primary aim of education is not to enable students to do well in school, but to help them do well in the lives they lead outside of school.

  5. Schools are Improving School Improvement

  18. Achievement Gap 4 in 10 fourth grade students read ‘below basic’ - NAEP Average African-American and Hispanic 12th grade student reads and computes at the same level of the White 8th grade student - Ed Trust Less than 20% of age cohort earn college degree by age 25 - NGA US students rank 24th of 29 countries in math achievement - PISA

  22. Critical Components Of The CCSS and New Assessments

  23. Common Core State Standards • Fewer • Clearer • Higher • Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards • Internationally benchmarked so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society • State led- coordinated by NGA Center and CCSSO

  24. Common Core Standards Criteria • Raise the bar for all students • All students are prepared for all entry-level, credit-bearing, academic college courses in English, mathematics, the sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities. • All students enter these classes ready for success (defined for these purposes as a C or better).

  25. Key Points in Reading Text Complexity Grade Bands and Associated Lexile Ranges

  26. Key Points in Reading Reading Framework for NAEP 2009

  27. Key Points in Writing Write Logical Arguments

  28. Key Points in Writing • The Use of Technology • Write Routinely • Research

  29. Key Points in Speaking and Listening Students should gain, evaluate, and present increasingly complex information, ideas, and evidence through listening and speaking as well as through media. Increase opportunities for informal discussion where students collaborate to answer questions, build understanding, and solve problems.

  30. Key Points in Math 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.

  31. High School - Modeling Linking mathematics and statistics to everyday life, work, etc. Use appropriate mathematics and statistics to: • Design a movie theater with unimpeded viewing angles. • Develop pricing schemes for a record store, • Determine how to evenly illuminate a room, • Determine how to seat friends and enemies at the United Nations

  32. Next Generation Assessments • In September 2010, the U.S. Department of Education awarded two grants: • Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) • Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) • Participating states will administer new assessment statewide by 2014-2015

  33. PARCC STATES 38

  34. PARCC STATES 15 Participating States 39 11 Governing States • Arizona • District of Columbia • Florida-Fiscal Agent • Illinois • Indiana • Louisiana • Maryland • Massachusetts-Board Chair • New York • Rhode Island • Tennessee

  35. Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium

  36. SBAC STATES Fiscal Agent: Washington State

  37. Next Generation Assessments 42 ELA/Literacy • Reading complex literary and informational text • Writing – both on demand and over time • Research • Speaking and listening • Language , conventions, vocabulary Mathematics • Conceptual understanding and procedural fluency • Application via modeling and strategic problem solving • Reasoning, explaining, justifying

  38. Next Generation Assessments 43 Through-course and Summative assessments using online computer adaptive technologies • Efficiently provide accurate measurement of all students, across the spectrum of knowledge and skills • Incorporate performance tasks and events • Will assess full range of CCSS in English language arts and mathematics • Describe both current achievement and growth across time, showing progress toward college- and career-readiness • Scores can be reliably used for state-to-state comparability, with standards set against research-based benchmarks • The option of giving the summative tests twice a year.

  41. Tools for Planning and Successful Implementation

  42. Increasing Rigor/Relevance High D C RIGOR B A Low Low High RELEVANCE

  43. Our Work in Desoto County • Facilitate a 3-year transition from current standards and assessments to the new Common Core Standards (CCS) and Next Generation Assessments • Build deep understanding of and commitment to the new CCS and Assessments • Support Schools in planning, goal setting, deep professional development, and implementation

  44. Correlate current standards and assessments to the new CCS and Assessments to identify gaps • Adjust curriculum to address the new requirements • Enhance current instructional and assessment practices to increase capacity from the district to the classroom level • Develop and implement a process to monitor ongoing adherence to plans and goals

  45. 2010-11 • District meetings in August • Awareness Building and Communication – Ongoing beginning in August • Needs Assessment /Gap Analysis – October • Planning – December -February 2011
