  2. NYS School Reform Initiative: 4 Pillars 1. Adopting internationally- benchmarked standards & assessmentsfor College and Career Readiness 2. Building instructional data systems that measure student success and inform teachers and principals how they can improve their practice 3. Recruiting, developing, retaining, and rewarding effective teachers and principals 4. Turning around the lowest-achieving schools

  3. The New Common Core • P-12 ELA and Literacy Standards Note: literacy (reading and writing) standards for all subjects are embedded within the ELA document • P-12 Mathematics Standards

  4. What’s new in the core? Aligned to college and career readiness (21st Century Skills) More reading & writing across content areas (informational text, supporting a stance with text based evidence, etc.) Higher text level complexity More inquiry and problem solving More technology integration

  5. Assessment System Design: Distributed Summative Assessment Through-Course 2 End- Of-Year START OF SCHOOL YEAR END OF SCHOOL YEAR 90% 25% 50% 75% Through-Course 3 Through-Course 1 Through-Course 4 • End-of-Year: • EOY: Comprehensive, computer-scored assessment that includes a range of item types, including innovative, technology-enhanced items. Enables quick turnaround of student scores. • A student’s summative score—used for accountability purposes—will include his/her performance on Through-Courses 1, 2, and 3 as well as the End-of-Year assessment.

  6. Assessment System Design: Administration and Scoring of PARCC: • ted Summative Assessment • Overall assessment system will include a mix of constructed response items, performance tasks, & computer-enhanced, computer-scored items. • Assessments for grades 6-12 will be administered via computer while 3-5 will be administered via paper and pencil (in the short term). • Combinationof artificial intelligence (AI) & human scoring will be employed; states will individually determine the extent to which teachers will be involved in scoring.

  7. Summer 2015 Determine levels, including college-ready Set achievement performance levels Sept. 2012 First year fieldtesting & related research & data collection Sept. 2013 Second year field testing begins & related research & data collection continues Sept. 2014 Full admin of PARCC assessments begins Oct. 2010 Launch and design phase begins Sept. 2011 Development phase begins PARCC Timeline

  8. Teacher & Principal Effectiveness • New APPR • New Data System • Teacher ID’s • Course ID’s • Local Assessment • State Assessment

  9. Impact on GCS • More curriculum work • New data system (Teacher ID’s, numerical grades, course ID’s, etc.) • Need local assessments & scoring criteria • New APPR • More computer access

  10. 2011-2012 Plan • Continue curriculum work • Experiment with inquiry team structures • Develop local assessments & data analysis procedures • Continue increasing access to laptops • Continue focus on technology integration • Learn more about project based learning & 21st Century Skills
