South Dakota Department of Education

1. South Dakota Department of Education Bringing the Common Core State Standards Into Focus

2. Outcomes Understanding of purpose of Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and why SD adopted the standards Learn about steps the state is taking to help prepare educators Begin to investigate Common Core Standards Outline activities that participants could complete to prepare for the workshops

3. Common Core State Standards (CCSS ) The Standards define the knowledge and skills students should have so they will graduate from high school ready to succeed in postsecondary education and careers. K-12 Standards Mathematics English Language Arts

4. Who Developed the CCSS National Governor’s Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), working with Achieve, ACT and the College Board, among others. State departments of education specialists and teachers, including those in South Dakota, were involved in an extensive feedback and review process. Released to the public on June 2, 2010. South Dakota BOE adopted these standards at their November 2010 meeting.

5. Why CCSS Improve education of student Close the gap in preparedness for college and careers Prepare students to compete in global economy Shared understanding of what students are expected to learn, no matter where they live or how often they move

8. Assessment Plan for Each Year

9. South Dakota’s Vision Provide educators with a systemic model to implement the Common Core within a learning environment rich in collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking.

10. Effective Assimilation Wisdom Identification* Knowledge Application* * Although facilitated by the teacher, these steps must be taken by the learner. To maximize the assimilation of the raw data, it is essential that the teacher allows adequate time for the learner to process his/her way through the stages. Information Organization* Raw Data Dave Arch and Associates. www.members.cox.net/inservices

11. South Dakota Focus • Provide professional development opportunity focusing on a framework and process to: • Gain an awareness of the focus standards. • Learn a process to develop deep understanding of the focused standards • Learn a process to take standards from written words on paper to action in the classroom

12. What the PD is: Voluntary for educators to participate not mandated by the state Districts make the decision on who to send not the state Districts will decide how to implement not prescribe one method of implementation Jump-start to district level conversation and training to implement the CCSS Combination of online and face to face workshops Process not an event or finished product

13. Focus Standards for Each Year

23. Preparing for Implementation • Review Common Core State Standards • Review ‘Cracking the Code’ ppt. • Review Crosswalk document • Become familiar with SD DOE CC website • Begin to think about how to plan for implementation • Review curriculum http://doe.sd.gov/octe/commoncoreStandards.asp

24. Review Curriculum • Account of both the content and instructional design of the materials. • Carefully examine how well a material’s content aligns with each standard and how well the instructional strategies in the student text and the teacher guide can support students’ learning of this content

25. Example Rating Scale: poor, fair, satisfactory, very good

26. Additional Possible Criteria • Relate to the students’ every day experiences • Appeal equally to boys and girls and to those of all cultural and religious backgrounds • Involve the students in working co-operatively and in combining their ideas • Involve the pupils in first-hand investigation of materials • Require them to be self-critical and open to others’ ideas • Involve resources which are readily available • OTHERS????
