  9. I. History Federal Rights vs. States Rights

  10. I. History – Age of Accountability • 2001: No Child Left Behind • Act of congress • Testing at grades 3, 8, and high school • AYP: Adequate Yearly Progress • Highly Qualified Teachers

  11. I. History – Age of Accountability • 2001: No Child Left Behind • Act of congress • Testing at grades 3, 8, and high school • AYP: Adequate Yearly Progress • Highly Qualified Teachers

  12. I. History The states develop the standards & tests! 2008: AZ Governor Napolitano, chair of National Governors Association (NGA)

  13. I. History The states develop the standards & tests! 2008: AZ Governor Napolitano, chair of National Governors Association (NGA) 2009:NGA and Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) meet to develop Common Core

  14. I. History The states develop the standards & tests! 2008: AZ Governor Napolitano, chair of National Governors Association (NGA) 2009:NGA and Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) meet to develop Common Core 2010: Common Core Released (ELA & Math), adopted by 44 states

  15. I. History The states develop the standards & tests! 2008: AZ Governor Napolitano, chair of National Governors Association (NGA) 2009:NGA and Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) meet to develop Common Core 2010: Common Core Released (ELA & Math), adopted by 44 states 2009: Race to the Top – incentivize adoption, assessment, & evaluation

  18. II. Common Core vs. NGSS

  19. II. Common Core vs. NGSS 2011 2013 State & National Effort National Effort

  20. II. Common Core vs. NGSS 26 Lead States

  21. II. Common Core vs. NGSS 26 Lead States • Agreed to: • Consider adopting the NGSS • Science lead who works with the writing team • Participate in the Multi-state action committee of the CCSSO • Publically announce the draft process and promote transparency • Form a committee to evaluate adoption • Publically identify a timeline for adoption • Develop implementation and transition plans with other early adopters

  22. II. Common Core vs. NGSS • 11 States + D.C. have adopted: • Rhode Island • Kentucky • Kansas • Maryland • Vermont • California • Delaware • Washington • Nevada • Oregon • District of Columbia and Illinois!

  23. III. Old Standards vs. New Standards • Illinois Learning Standards for Science • Adopted in 1997 • Three Goals: • Inquiry & Design • Concepts & Principles • Science, Technology & Society • NGSS in Illinois • Adopted in 2014, in effect 2016-2017 • Three dimensions, integrated approach
