  1. Kaneland Common Core Standard Implementation Realizing Illinois • Our Students. . .Prepared for success after high school • Our Promise. . .Leadership, Advocacy, & Support • Our Future…Strong communities, competitive workforce

  2. Illinois Learning Standards • The Illinois State Board of Education adopted new Math and ELA standards for K-12 education aligned to college and career readiness. • Currently they are drafting the Science Common Core Standards Illinois State Board of Education

  3. Why are a Common Set of Standards Important? Preparation: These standards are designed for students to be college and career ready upon completing secondary education. Quality: Teachers are given more flexibility to teach standards in depth and across disciplines that can be tailored to fit the students needs. Skilled Workforce: These standards emphasize skills and application, in addition to content, to prepare students for working in the current workforce.

  4. Why are a Common Set of Standards Important? Clarity: The standards are designed to help teachers, students, and parents understand what is expected of them to be ready to enter the workforce or college. Consistency: These standards will level the playing field so all students will be held to the same rigorous expectations. Global Society: The standards are internationally benchmarked to high performing countries to help our students succeed in a global economy.

  5. What does College and Career Ready Mean? The College and Career Ready descriptions are not standards themselves but instead offer a portrait of students who meet the new standards.

  6. What are College and Career Readiness Skills? • They demonstrate independence • They build strong content knowledge • They respond to varying demands of audience, • task, purpose discipline • They comprehend as well as critique. • They value evidence • They use technology and digital media • strategically and capably • They come to understand other perspectives and • cultures

  7. Instructional Shifts for the Common Core Six Shifts in Math • Focus • Coherence • Fluency • Deep Understanding • Applications • Dual Intensity • Six Shifts in ELA/Literacy • Balancing Informational and Literary Text • Building Knowledge in the Disciplines • Staircase of Complexity • Text-Based Answers • Writing From Sources • Academic Vocabulary

  8. Balancing Informational and Literary Text Building Knowledge in the Disciplines Staircase of Complexity Text-based Answers Writing from Sources Academic Vocabulary Focus Coherence Fluency Deep Understanding Applications Dual Intensity Common Core Standards Shifts Impact Assessments • 6 Shifts in ELA Literacy Common Core Implementation Common Core Assessments 6 Shifts in Mathematics

  9. Shifts in ELA/Literacy

  10. Shifts in Mathematics

  11. Kaneland Update on Curriculum Alignment K-5 • K-5 all ELA and Math maps aligned to common core standards • K-5 Academic Advisory collecting suggested edits to ELA and Math maps based on the common core alignment • K-5 utilizing new math materials • K-5 Report cards aligned with math common core standards

  12. Next Steps on Curriculum Alignment K-5 • Spring 2013: Finalize ELA and Math maps • Summer 2013: Finalize edits to math report cards aligned to math and add ELA alignment • Summer 2013: Further math materials training • Fall 2013: Begin to explore NGSS • Spring 2013: Align maps to NGSS

  13. What about State Assessment? • Illinois is part of a 26- state assessment consortium called Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) • No changes to the actual ISAT test will be in place for 2013-14 • ISBE will release new cut scores for 2012-13 ISAT aligned to college and career readiness targets; district can begin to see alignment to new expectations • Focused on developing a richer more authentic evaluation of student learning projected for 2016

  14. Update on Kaneland Local Assessment Work K-5 • Pre- and post- assessments aligned to CCSS • Grade level teams across the district are creating unit assessments aligned to common core standards through the RTI math research committee • AAC collecting suggested edits to the pre and post assessments • Review of Rigby and ISEL to correlate to ELA common core standards

  15. Next Steps for Local Assessment Work K-5 • Create final drafts of the math pre and post assessments • Train staff on PARCC based on pilot feedback • Train staff on the future use of assessment in teacher evaluation

  16. Support for Staff During Common Core Implementation • Assessment training on SIP days • Implementation of Matrix data warehouse • Lesson sharing and unit planning on SIP days • LEARN process to observe and share (K-5) • Progression of mapping, assessment creation, and instructional expectations via curriculum matrix (KHS and HMS)
