Administrators’ Management Meeting September 18, 2008

1. Next Generation Sunshine State Standards and Florida’s Participation in the American Diploma Project Administrators’ Management Meeting September 18, 2008

2. What is the American Diploma Project? • Sponsored by Achieve (achieve.org) • Network of 33 states (80% of all public school students) • Ensure that every high school graduate is prepared for college or work • Work is defined as jobs with benefits that provide a living wage

3. How did Florida get involved? April 15, 2008 GOVERNOR'S PRESS OFFICE TALLAHASSEE – Governor Charlie Crist today announced Florida’s participation in the American Diploma Project Network, a nationwide movement designed to improve preparation of high school students for the 21st century workforce. The Governor’s announcement came after discussing the benefits of participation with Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. “Florida has a proven record of improving student performance across all grade levels,” Governor Crist said. “By working collaboratively with other states, we can maximize our efforts on behalf of our students.”

4. Why does FL need to be part of the ADP? • About 50% of FL high school graduates who go directly to a FL Community College are placed in developmental mathematics courses • About 41% of FL high school graduates who go directly to a FL Community College are placed in developmental reading courses • 50% of students in developmental courses do not complete coursework for an AA degree or Industry Certification

5. How many young adults earn degrees? *Median of top five states based on sum of lower and upper bar. Source: National Information Center for Higher Education, www.higheredinfo.org. Data are from U.S. Census for 25 to 34 year olds.

6. Is educational attainment improving? +3 +5 +9

11. What is Florida doing now? • New K - 12 content standards! • Meeting with Community College faculty and State University System faculty to determine “college readiness” • Math End-of-Course pilots for Algebra 2 (and maybe Algebra 1) • Maybe new HS Graduation Requirements

12. Long-term ADP Goals for FL • Eliminate the need for students with a FL high school diploma to take developmental classes in college • Prepare students to be “college ready” and “workforce ready” • Align HS graduation requirements with college-ready expectations

13. Senate Bill 1908 • Names “Next Generation Sunshine State Standards” • Requires updates for all content standards by December 31, 2011 • Codifies process and revisions made for mathematics and science • Requires revision for the Language Arts content standards

14. Mathematics Standards • Standards adopted in September 2007 • Course Descriptions written and adopted • Specifications written for Instructional Materials and posted online • Professional development offered via: • PROMiSE • MSMI • Project Central

16. Tell which Fraction is Larger • 3/7 and 5/8 [Relative to ½] • 4/7 and 4/9 [Common numerator] • 9/10 and 5/4 [Relative to 1] • 3/8 and 5/8 [Common denominator] • 6/7 and 8/9 [Difference to 1]

17. Learning Progression for Fractions In Grade 3: BIG IDEA 2 - Develop an understanding of fractions and fraction equivalence. MA.3.A.2.1   Represent fractions, including fractions greater than one, using area, set, and linear models.   MA.3.A.2.2   Describe how the size of the fractional part is related to the number of equal sized pieces in the whole.   MA.3.A.2.3   Compare and order fractions, including fractions greater than one, using models and strategies. MA.3.A.2.4   Use models to represent equivalent fractions, including fractions greater than 1, and identify representations of equivalence.  

18. Learning Progression for Fractions (continued) In Grade 4: Supporting Idea 6 – Numbers and Operations MA.4.A.6.3   Generate equivalent fractions and simplify fractions.   MA.4.A.6.4   Determine factors and multiples for specified whole numbers.   MA.4.A.6.5   Relate halves, fourths, tenths, and hundredths to decimals and percents.

19. Learning Progression for Fractions (continued) In Grade 5: BIG IDEA 2 - Develop an understanding of and fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions and decimals.   MA.5.A.2.1    Represent addition and subtraction of decimals and fractions with like and unlike denominators using models, place value or properties.   MA.5.A.2.2   Add and subtract fractions and decimals fluently and verify the reasonableness of results, including in problem situations.   MA.5.A.2.3   Make reasonable estimates of fraction and decimal sums and differences, and use techniques for rounding.   MA.5.A.2.4   Determine the prime factorization of numbers.

27. Learning Progression for Nature of Science SC.K.N.1.1   Collaborate with a partner to collect information. SC.3.N.1.2   Compare the observations made by different groups using the same tools and seek reasons to explain the differences across groups. SC.6.N.1.4   Discuss, compare, and negotiate methods used, results obtained, and explanations among groups of students conducting the same investigation.  

28. Elementary Big Idea – Grade 4 Big Idea 8: Properties of Matter A. All objects and substances in the world are made of matter. Matter has two fundamental properties: matter takes up space and matter has mass. B. Objects and substances can be classified by their physical and chemical properties. Mass is the amount of matter (or "stuff") in an object. Weight, on the other hand, is the measure of force of attraction (gravitational force) between an object and Earth. The concepts of mass and weight are complicated and potentially confusing to elementary students. Hence, the more familiar term of "weight" is recommended for use to stand for both mass and weight in grades K-5. By grades 6-8, students are expected to understand the distinction between mass and weight, and use them appropriately.
