  2. Before we begin…About You • We’d like to know a little about who is out there. • Time for a poll. CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  3. Our time today • Shared Learning • Common Core State Standards: Washington’s implementation • English Language Arts: the big shifts overview • Smarter Balanced Assessment System and Washington Transitions • Making the shifts work in English Language Arts and social studies/History: we’re joined by Carol Coe, Social Studies Program Supervisor at OSPI! CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  4. Superintendent Dorn’s Priorities2011-2014 OSPI’s Mission: To provide funding, resources, tools, data and technical assistance to educators so that they can help students to be successful in our public schools and in college and careers. • Meet our Constitutional Obligation to Fully-fund our Public Schools • Improve Achievement for ALL Students • Reduce the opportunity gap • Reduce the dropout rate • Increase STEM opportunities • Provide additional student supports • Improve our Student Assessment System • Expand Career and Technical Education (CTE) • Expand and Enhance Early Learning Opportunities CCSSM Webinar 12/18/12

  5. WA CCSS Implementation Timeline CCSSM Webinar 12/18/12

  6. Washington’s K-12 Learning Standards Landscape(CCSS-M, CCSS-ELA, EALRS, GLEs, PEs,) CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  7. Theory of Practice for CCSS Implementation in Washington 2-Prongs: • The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators) • Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content. • The How: System “Remodeling” • Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take place top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…” • Professional learning systems are critical A Vision for the Common Core CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  8. “These standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business.” CCSSM, page 5 “Common Core State Standards call for “game changing” shifts in not only what students are expected to know and do, but also major shifts in how teachers design and facilitate instruction, and how principals support teachers to make the shifts.” - Learning Forward, 2012 CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  9. The Big Picture of CCSS ELA:what it looks like in the classroom The art, science, skills, knowledge, and joy of reading, writing, speaking, and listening CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  10. Shifting to comprehensive literacy OSPI at WERA_12.7.12

  11. Three Shifts in English Language Arts • Building content knowledge through content-rich nonfiction • Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational • Regular practice with complex text and its academic language CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  12. Big Shifts Mythbusters • Are we done teaching fiction and story writing? • Should I stop teaching plot development and literary terms? • Am I supposed to stop teaching text-to-self strategies and prior knowledge? • Do my kids get to express opinions? CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  13. The Shifts Build Toward College and Career Readiness for All Students CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  14. Getting to the shift: Ensuring a balance of writing types, modes, genres, modes, products CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  15. Balance Mythbusters! • Are we throwing out all our novel sets? • Does this mean I have to quit teaching fiction in my English class? • Do I have to teach all the texts listed in the Appendices? • Do non-English teachers have to teach reading and writing instead of their subjects? CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  16. Getting to the shifts: The Right Texts, at the Right Times, for the Right Reasons Best measured by computer software Best measured by an attentive human reader Best made by educators employing their professional judgment CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  17. Depth of Knowledge(DOK) CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  18. Text Complexity Mythbusters! • If a student is behind in comprehension, am I not supposed to give her an at-level text? • Does every text I use have to be complex? • How do I get the right texts? CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  19. What it can look like in action CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  20. The Reading Standards for Informational Text… CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  21. The Reading Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies… CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  22. how word choice contributes to meaning and tone (RL.8.4) be able to cite textual evidence (RL.8.1) Grade 8: compare and contrast the structure of two or more texts and analyze how the different structure of each text contributes to its meaning and style (RL.8.5). support the assertions (arguments) they make in writing (W.8.1, W.8.9) CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  23. What about the Assessment System? Updates and overview CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  24. Smarter Balanced Assessment SystemComponents Summative assessments Benchmarked to college and career readiness Teachers and schools have information and tools they need to improve teaching and learning Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness All students leave high school college and career ready Teacher resources for formative assessment practices to improve instruction Interim assessments Flexible, open, used for actionable feedback CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  25. Smarter Balanced Timeline – Washington’s Involvement • OSPI staff involved in workgroups 2010-2014 • Teachers involved in item writing Summer/Fall 2012 • Sample Released Items – October 2012 http://www.k12.wa.us/SMARTER/default.aspx • 47 districts invited to conduct Small Scale Trials in Oct/Nov 2012 • Limited pilot in Spring 2013 • Need 22% of state • Available to all • Comprehensive field test in 2013-14 • Operational use in 2014-15 CCSSM Webinar 12/18/12

  29. Testing System Transition Current Testing System • Reading and Math: Grades 3–8 and 10 • Writing: Grades 4, 7, 10 • Science: Grades 5, 8, 10 SMARTER Balanced (SBAC) / Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Testing System • English/Language Arts and Math: Grade 3–8 and 11* • Science exams are required under ESEA but are not included in SBAC *11th grade to measure college- and career-readiness. We are working with higher ed to explore the possible use of these measures as an alternative for college placement (or entrance). CCSS 2012-13 Webinar Series - Part II English Language Arts

  30. Note: 10th grade exams measure high school proficiency with passage required for graduation; 11th grade exams measure career and college-ready standards.* 10th grade math exams could be separate Algebra and Geometry EOC exams. Using SBAC for High School Graduation Tests – Policy Questions Abound… * CCSSM Webinar 12/18/12
