The Process

• 2008: Framework for Change• 2008: Response to change: ACRE• 2009: CCSSO and NGA develop college and career

readiness standards• Based on the college and career readiness standards, K-

12 learning progressions developed• Multiple rounds of feedback from states, teachers,

researchers, higher education, and the general public• June 2, 2010:Final Common Core State Standards

released• June 2010: Adopted by NCSBE

What are CCSS?

• For ELA and Math only• Align with best evidence on college and career readiness

expectations• Maintain focus on what matters most for readiness for

college and career• Are clear, understandable and consistent• Include rigorous content and application of knowledge

through high-order skills• Build upon strengths and lessons of current state

standards• Are informed by other top performing countries, so that all

students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society

• Are evidence-based

Page 11: Brace Yourself. Change is Coming! The new X is: Common Core State Standards/Essential Standards In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions

In North CarolinaFewer, Higher, Clearer

• Adopted in June 2010 by State Board of Education

• Among the first group of states to adopt Common Core State Standards

• Transition to CCSS is part of NC and LCPS RttT plan

Page 12: Brace Yourself. Change is Coming! The new X is: Common Core State Standards/Essential Standards In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions

What CCSS are not

• A National Curriculum• Everything that could or should be taught• A federal government initiativeDoes not include• How teachers should teach• Advanced work beyond the core• Interventions needed for students well below grade level• A full range of support for English language learners and

students with special needs• Everything needed to be college and career ready

Page 13: Brace Yourself. Change is Coming! The new X is: Common Core State Standards/Essential Standards In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions

ELA CCSSThree main sections• K−5 (cross-disciplinary)• 6−12 English Language Arts• 6−12 Literacy in History/Social Studies,

Science, and Technical Subjects

Shared responsibility for students’ literacy development

Three appendices• A: Research and evidence; glossary of key terms• B: Reading text exemplars; sample performance tasks• C: Annotated student writing samples

Page 14: Brace Yourself. Change is Coming! The new X is: Common Core State Standards/Essential Standards In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions

Design and Organization

Four strands Reading (including Reading Foundational Skills)• Writing• Speaking and Listening• Language

An integrated model of literacy

Media requirements blended throughout

Page 15: Brace Yourself. Change is Coming! The new X is: Common Core State Standards/Essential Standards In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions

Design and OrganizationCollege and Career Readiness (CCR) anchor standards• Broad expectations consistent across grades and content areas• Based on evidence

about college andworkforce trainingexpectations

• Range and content

Page 16: Brace Yourself. Change is Coming! The new X is: Common Core State Standards/Essential Standards In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions

Design and Organization

K−12 standards• Grade-specific end-

of-year expectations• Developmentally

appropriate, cumulative progression of skills and understandings

• One-to-one correspondence with CCR standards

Page 17: Brace Yourself. Change is Coming! The new X is: Common Core State Standards/Essential Standards In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions

ReadingComprehension (standards 1−9) Standards for reading literature and informational texts Strong and growing across-the-curriculum emphasis on

students’ ability to read and comprehend informational texts Aligned with NAEP Reading frameworkRange of reading and level of text complexity(standard 10, Appendices A and B) “Staircase” of growing text complexity across grades High-quality literature and informational texts in a range

of genres and subgenres

Page 18: Brace Yourself. Change is Coming! The new X is: Common Core State Standards/Essential Standards In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions

Reading Foundational Skills

and phrases

Page 23: Brace Yourself. Change is Coming! The new X is: Common Core State Standards/Essential Standards In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions

Key AdvancesReading• Balance of literature and informational texts• Text complexityWriting• Emphasis on argument and informative/explanatory

writing• Writing about sourcesSpeaking and Listening• Inclusion of formal and informal talkLanguage• Stress on general academic and domain-specific

vocabulary

Page 24: Brace Yourself. Change is Coming! The new X is: Common Core State Standards/Essential Standards In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions

Key Advances

Standards for reading and writing in history/

social studies, science, and technical subjects• Complement rather than replace content standards

in those subjects• Responsibility of teachers in those subjects

Alignment with college and career readiness

expectations

Page 25: Brace Yourself. Change is Coming! The new X is: Common Core State Standards/Essential Standards In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions

Math CCSSStandards for Mathematical Practice• Carry across all grade levels• Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert student

Standards for Mathematical Content• K-8 standards presented by grade level• Organized into domains that progress over several grades• Grade introductions give 2–4 focal points at each grade level• High school standards presented by conceptual theme

(Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics & Probability)

High School

Conceptual themes in high school• Number and Quantity• Algebra• Functions• Modeling• Geometry• Statistics and Probability

College and career readiness threshold• (+) standards indicate material beyond the threshold; can

be in courses required for all students.

Page 32: Brace Yourself. Change is Coming! The new X is: Common Core State Standards/Essential Standards In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions

Key AdvancesFocus and coherence• Focus on key topics at each grade level.• Coherent progressions across grade levels.Balance of concepts and skills• Content standards require both conceptual understanding

and procedural fluency.Mathematical practices• Foster reasoning and sense-making in mathematics.College and career readiness• Level is ambitious but achievable.

Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC)

04/10/23 • page 41

What is SBAC? What impact will it have on students?

What do schools and educators need to do to prepare?

What is the SBAC time line?

31 States working together to develop an assessment system aligned to the Common Core Standards in ELA and Math.

Will include: •Computer-adaptive summative assessments with performance tasks in ELA and Math for 3-8 and high school •Flexible tools for teaching (formative assessment tools, data display and analysis tools, diagnostics, checks for misconceptions)

• Equity of expectations• Comparability of results• More authentic tasks and more accurate

measurement (particularly of growth)

What impact will it have on teachers?

• Focused instruction• Better-aligned teaching resources

(instructional and assessment)• More resources and shared language

across state-lines

Start Professional Development on the Common Core

Start teaching the Common Core in 2012-13

(schools will be held accountable for Common Core)

Prepare for online delivery of assessments
