Myth #1The Common Core Initiative began

with the Federal Government.

Page 6: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

The Common Core State Standards Initiative

(CCSSI) was a state-led effort coordinated by the:

National Governors Association (NGA) Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO)

Governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia committed to developing common core state standards for K-12 English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics.

Facts:

Page 8: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

The Common Core State Standards equate to a

national curriculum for our schools.

Myth #2

Page 9: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

The Common Core is NOT a curriculum.

It is a clear set of shared goals and expectations for what knowledge and skills will help our students succeed.

Local teachers, principals, superintendents, etc. will decide how the standards are to be met.

Teachers will continue to devise lesson plans and tailor instruction to the needs of the students in their classrooms.

Facts:

Page 10: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

The standards are not based on research or evidence.

Myth #3

Page 11: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

In mathematics, the standards draw on

conclusions from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) as well as other studies of high-performing countries.

These studies called for mathematics in the United States to become substantially more coherent and focused in order to improve student achievement.

Facts:

Page 12: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

The Common Core State Standards call for teachers to remain in lock-step with co-workers at the same grade level in their building, or

across the district.

Myth #4

Page 13: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

We do not have to teach our students in the same

exact way, but we should all be striving for the same results.

The CCSS do not require fidelity to a specific resource or for teachers to deliver the same lesson in exactly the same way, or on the same day.

We do need a commitment to: professional collaboration a common scope and sequence common assessments

Promises

These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step. It is time for states to work together to build on lessons learned from two decades of standards based reforms. It is time to recognize that these standards are not just promises to our children, but promises we intend to keep.

-CCSS (2010 pg. 5)

Close Reading – CCSS “Promise Statement”

Think of each standard as a promise we make to our students.

What does this mean to you? Your students? School? Our District? Families? Co-workers? Etc.

Write one idea on a sticky note & be prepared to share.

Shift #1 - Focus

Page 17: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

FOCUS strongly where the standards focus. Gone are the days of implementing mathematics with the

“mile wide and inch deep” philosophy.

The Common Core calls for greater focus on fewer topics. Math teachers should significantly narrow & deepen the way time

and energy are spent in the classroom. Focus deeply only on what is emphasized in the standards, so

that students gain strong foundations. The goal is that students will be ale to apply the math they know

to new situations inside and outside of the classroom.

Fidelity to a resource no longer out-weighs fidelity to the standards, and/or the needs of our students.

Shift #1 - Focus

Page 18: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

CCSSM does not spiral, it is a foundational model.

The standards are constructed so that each year, teachers support students in deepening their understanding so that students gain strong foundations.

Future teachers will support students in building upon that knowledge the following year.

Teachers that skip standards that they “feel” are not important create gaps, which need to be filled in future years, as the foundation was not established.

This model lends itself to the importance of teachers knowing what comes before them, and what comes after them.

Teachers should not have to “undo” previous learning in order to teach the work of their grade level.

CCSSM Grade 1 Introduction

In Grade 1, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; (2) developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones; (3) developing understanding of linear measurement and measuring lengths as iterating length units; and (4) reasoning about attributes of, and composing and decomposing geometric shapes.

Common Core

Page 31: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

Think across grades, and link to major topics within

grades.

Carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years.

Begin to count on solid conceptual understanding of core content and build upon it. Each standard is not a new event, but an extension of previous learning.

Shift #2 - Coherence

Page 32: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

“The coherence and sequential nature of mathematics dictate the foundational skills that are necessary for the learning of algebra. The most important foundational skill not presently developed appears to be proficiency with fractions (including decimals, percents, and negative fractions). The teaching of fractions must be acknowledged as critically important and improved before an increase in student achievement in algebra can be expected.”

Final Report of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel (2008, p. 18)

Coherence ExampleProgression Across Grades

Page 33: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

Study the progression from grade 1 – 5. Make notes of your thinking in the section

labeled: We notice…

Use corestandards.org - decide which Kindergarten standard(s) would be foundational for this progression and write it/them above the 1st grade standards.

Gallery Walk Be ready to share & justify your thinking.

Coherence Activity(Progressions)

Page 34: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

1.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal

shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares.

2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.

CoherenceAcross Grades – Fractions

(Geometry Domain)

Page 35: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

3.NF.A.3.D Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

4.NF.2 Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as ½. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >,=, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

5.NF.A2 Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.

The standards make explicit connections at a single grade.

Coherence ExampleGrade 3

Page 38: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

Pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skills

and fluency, and application with equal intensity.

The CCSSM require a balance of: solid conceptual understanding. procedural skill and fluency. application of skills in problem solving.

This requires equal intensity in time, activities, and resources in pursuit of all three.

Shift #3 - Rigor

Page 39: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

Teach more than “how to get the right answer”

and instead support students’ ability to access concepts from a number of perspectives.

Students are able to see math as more than a set of mnemonics or discrete procedures.

Conceptual understanding supports the other aspects of rigor (fluency and application).

Solid Conceptual Understanding

Traditional/CCSSM

Molly has a quarter, 2 nickels, and a dime. How much money does she have?

Find two equivalent fractions for ½.

Molly has 6 coins in her piggy bank. She has more than .85¢, but less than $1.10. What coins could she have? Explain your answer.

Build a fraction model. Fold a piece of paper in half. Color one half yellow. Write ½. Fold the paper in half again. Write 1/2=2/4. Continue until you get to 8/16. Look for and explain patterns that name the yellow area of the paper.

Page 41: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

Procedural Skill & Fluency

The standards require speed and accuracy in calculation.

Teachers structure class time and/or homework time for students to practice core functions such as single-digit multiplication so that they are more able to understand and manipulate more complex concepts.

Required Fluencies in K-6

Page 43: Kid President  Defining My Role  I am NOT…  an administrator  an evaluator  the keeper of all knowledge  I am…  a resource  a colleague  a

Students can use appropriate concepts and procedures for

application even when not prompted to do so.

Provide opportunities at all grade levels for students to apply math concepts in “real world” situations, recognizing this means different things in K-5, 6-8, and HS.

Teachers should present tasks that: include multiple entry points.

are open-ended/have multiple solutions.

The Coming CCSS Assessments Will Focus Strongly on the Major Work of

Each Grade

A quality assessment should strive to reinforce focus and coherence at each grade level by testing for proficiency with central and pivotal mathematics rather than covering too many ideas superficially – a key point of the Common Core Standards.
