Common Core Update – Opening

March 11, 2013

Common Core Standards

What are the Common Core Standards? How do the Common Core Standards

compare to the California Content Standards?

When should the Common Core Standards be FULLY implemented?

Common Core Standards Aspects of the Common Core

Ever Changing California in Smarter Balanced

Consortium27 States43% of K-12 students across United States

Common Core Update Rigorous, research-based standards for

English-language arts and mathematics for grades K-12

Designed to prepare the nation’s students with the knowledge and skills needed for success in college and the work force

Internationally benchmarked to ensure that students will be globally competitive

Common Core Update

In 2009, the Council of Chief Sate School Officers (CCSSO) and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) committed to developing a set of standards that would help prepare students for success in college and career

In September 2009, College and Career Readiness standards were released

This work became the foundation for the Common Core

Common Core Update A voluntary state-led initiative coordinated

by Council of Chief State School Officers and National Governors’ Association

Includes parents, educators, content experts, researchers, national organizations and community groups from 46 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia

Alaska, Minnesota, Texas and Virginia not currently participating

Common Core Update

California Senate Bill 1 (SB x5) Established an Academic Content

Standards Commission (ACSC) to develop mathematics and English-language arts standards

85% of the standards had to be CCSS 15% additional standards from the State

Common Core Update

The Common Core Standards are expected to align with the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) framework Grade 4 Literary text (50%); Informational

text (50%) Grade 8 Literary text (45%); Informational

text (55%)

Common Core Update

Major study using three alignment indices comparing Common Common to California Standards: Categorical Concurrence: the extent of overlap or

match between the comparison standards and the Common Core standards.

Depth of Knowledge Consistency: a comparison of cognitive demand of matched content between the sets of comparison standards and the Common Core standards.

Breadth of Coverage: how broadly matched comparison standards cover content elements of the Common Core standards.

Common Core Plan - California Facilitate high quality professional learning

opportunities for educators to ensure that every student has access to teachers who are prepared to teach to the levels of rigor and depth required by the CCSS

Provide CCSS-aligned instructional resources designed to meet the diverse needs of all students

Develop and transition to CCSS-aligned assessment systems to inform instruction, establish priorities for professional learning, and provide tools for accountability

Collaborate with parents, guardians and the early childhood and extended learning communities to integrate the CCSS into programs and activities beyond the K–12 school setting

California Common Core Plan Collaborate with the postsecondary and business

communities to ensure that all students are prepared for success in career and college

Seek, create, and disseminate resources to support stakeholders as CCSS systems implementation moves forward

Design and establish systems of effective communication among stakeholders to continuously identify areas of need and disseminate information

Common Core Update

Next steps Need to become more knowledgeable of

Common Core Need to understand Smarter Balance

Assessment system (including four styles of questions)

Need to know technology requirements Need instructional resources Most important – Instructional

strategies and planning critical
