Implementation of Common Core State Standards complements other work underway

Student readiness for postsecondary education and

the workforce (WHY we teach)

Common Core State Standards provide a

vision of excellence for WHAT we teach

TEAM provides a vision of excellence for HOW we teach

7

Our transition to Common Core Standards is central to strengthening Tennessee’s competitiveness

Tennessee’s Competitiveness

Only 21% of adults in TN have a college degree

TN ranks 46th in 4th grade math and 41st in 4th grade reading nationally

54% of new jobs will require post-secondary education

Only 15% of high school seniors in TN are college ready

The Common Core State Standards represent six key instructional shifts

MATH:

1. Focus strongly where the Standards focus

2. Coherence: think across grades, and link to major topics within grades

3. Rigor: require conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application with intensity.

ELA:

4. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational texts

5. Reading and writing grounded in evidence from text

6. Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary

…and deeper.

There were 28 cookies on a plate.Five children each ate 1 cookie.Two children each ate 3 cookies.

One child ate 5 cookies.The rest of the children each ate 2 cookies.

Then the plate was empty

How many children ate 2 cookies? Use multiplication equations and other operations, if needed, to show how you found your answer.

Jane thinks this question can be solved by dividing 28 by 2. She is wrong. Explain using equations and operations why this is not possible.

3rd Grade Math3OA.3 (Operations and Algebraic thinking): Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problems.

Progression of Informational/Explanatory Writing

Standard Grade: 2 Grade: 3 Grade: 4   Writing Standard 2  

Students write informative/explanatory text in which they introduce a topic, use facts and definitions to develop points, and provide a concluding statement or section.

Students write informative/explanatory texts in which they introduce a topic and group related information together; develop the topic, transition in a way that makes sense to readers, and provide a concluding statement or section.

 .

Students write informative/explanatory texts in which they introduce a topic clearly; organize information into paragraphs; develop the topic with facts, definitions, concrete details, or quotations; transition in a way that makes sense to readers; use precise word choice; and provide a concluding statement or section.

Teacher Sample “Think Aloud”

• “I want students to be able to recognize a point of view, think about how the story is impacted by point of view, and be able to compare and contrast stories based on point of view.

• In 4th grade, students really enjoy the story Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White. This story is told in third person. I wonder how it would be different if it was written in first person. It would be interesting to have students compare and contrast how the story would change if Wilbur told the story instead of Fern.

• I think I will have students choose a section to write from the perspective of a character, to contrast with the original work, which is written in third person.”

30

Sample PBA

•After reading Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White and identifying that the story is told in third person, choose one section of the book that you would like to rewrite in first person. You may choose any character of the book to be the narrator. Be sure to show how the story is different depending on who is telling the story.

32

We believe there are three legs to the stool in our implementation plan

Assessment alignment and transparency

Instructional materials and curriculum

Quality training & meaningful support

Effective communication about the standards, importance, and potential

Alignment of accountability structure for LEA’s, schools, teachers, and vendors

Curriculum and Instruction Division priorities for Common Core implementation

Assessment alignment, and transparency

Quality training & meaningful support

Effective communication about the standards, importance, and potential

Alignment of accountability structure for LEA’s, schools, teachers, and vendors

We will place significant focus on involvement of school and district leaders throughout Common Core implementation.

Without committed leadership, especially at the building level, we believe our preparation will be significantly compromised.

34

We will begin state-wide implementation of 3-8 math standards this coming school year

• 1.4 Math Transition in Grades 3-8.m4v

36

We will identify TNCore Focus Standards for each grade level for mathematics in grades 3-8

Grade TNCore Focus Standards3rd Grade Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division

Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division

4th Grade Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understanding of

operations on whole numbers5th Grade Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions

Apply and extend previous understanding of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions

6th Grade Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems Apply and extend previous understanding of arithmetic to algebraic expressions

7th Grade Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems

Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations

8th Grade Define, evaluate, and compare functions Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations

The 3-8 Math TNCore Focus Standards for the 2012-2013 school-year are:

SPI - Checks…not necessarily

• One word of Caution

• Just because an SPI will be cut from the TCAP, this DOES NOT necessarily mean that all the s and GLEs that go with that SPI are gone as well.

We will remove 15-25% of SPIs that are not reflected in Common Core State Standards from the TCAP NEXT

year. The specific list of SPI’s will be shared on May 1.

Constructed Response

We will expand the constructed response assessment for all grades 3-8, focused on the TNCore focus standards for math.

K-2 focus areas

We want to support districts implementing Common Core State standards in K-2 and encourage all districts to move towards full implementation in the 2012-2013 school year.

We will:

• Support K-2 assessments in math and reading across all districts (more information to come after a review of pilots underway for teacher evaluation)

• Release TNCore Focus Standards for reading and math for each grade and provide online courses for educators to support instruction on the focus standards

• Conduct a survey of districts to better understand current implementation through First to the Top partnership meetings. Convene focus groups of districts with promising practices and share best practices with districts.

• Encourage districts to focus on direct instruction* in reading, especially for students at risk of reaching third grade behind grade level

* The TDOE is not endorsing a specific curriculum but the approach of explicit instruction grounded in the science of reading

46

Literacy in 6-12 History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects pilots

We believe the implementation of Common Core State Standards is a full-school endeavor, not just a project of math and ELA teachers. To support the integration of all standards and, in particular, the literacy standards, this year we will:

• Select and convene Core Coaches in social studies, science, CTE, fine arts, and physical education to embed literacy (and, where appropriate, math) standards into instruction. We will select a group of Core Coaches focused in middle school and a group of Core Coaches for high school.

• Explore writing assessments based on informational texts in the relevant content area

47

48

Communications from the TDOE

Throughout implementation, we will place a premium on consistent and high-quality communications with districts.

• The TNCore website (www.tncore.org) will launch April 15th and serve as the site for all state materials on implementation

• Questions can be directed to: tncore.questions@tn.gov

• Districts will appoint a team of 2-5 people to serve as the Common Core leadership team. All appointed members will receive monthly TNCore email updates beginning in March.

• We will not lose sight of the importance and power of strong student and parent communications and we will provide resources to support this across implementation

• Expect More, Achieve More website will be updated with information about Common Core implementation
