Superintendent Dorn’s Priorities2011-2014

OSPI’s Mission: To provide funding, resources, tools, data and technical assistance to educators so that they can help students to be successful in our public schools

and in college and careers.1) Meet our Constitutional Obligation to Fully-fund our

Public Schools2) Improve Achievement for ALL Students

Reduce the opportunity gap Reduce the dropout rate Increase STEM opportunities Provide additional student supports

3) Improve our Student Assessment System 4) Expand Career and Technical Education (CTE)5) Expand and Enhance Early Learning Opportunities

Our guiding beliefs and approach for CCSS Implementation in WA

ESD 113 Superintendent's Meeting

2-Prongs:1. The What: Content Shifts (for students and

educators) Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided

a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content.

2. The How: System “Remodeling” Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take place

top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…” Belief that districts and communities across the state have the

conditions and commitment present to engage wholly in this work.

Professional learning systems are critical

9/26/12

ESD 113 Superintendent's Meeting

Shifts in ELA1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction

and informational texts in addition to literature2. Reading and writing grounded in evidence from the

text3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic

vocabularyThese apply to content area (social studies, science, and technical subject) teachers as well as to English teachers.

Shifts in Mathematics1. Focus: 2-3 topics focused on deeply in each grade 2. Coherence: Concepts logically connected from one grade

to the next and linked to other major topics within the grade

3. Rigor: Fluency with arithmetic, application of knowledge to real world situations, and deep understanding of mathematical concepts

The “What”:ELA and Math Content Shifts

9/26/12

2012-13 CCSS Systems Webinar.Part 1.9/12/12

1. What do all students need to know and be able to do as a result of the CCSS?

2. What do the adults in the system need to know and be able to do to support all students?

3. How do we design a

professional learning system

to support them?

The “How”: System Remodeling

The Key?

More SupportsOpportunities and Resources

CCSS Statewide Symposia for District Teams- Support shared learning and build readiness to begin

implementation- Districts share and learn from each other- At least one in each ESD region starting in November/December

2012-13 Schedule to be Announced in late September

Statewide CCSS Collaborations- Annual Statewide Conferences- Professional Learning Educator Membership Associations- Publisher Representatives

OSPI CCSS Quarterly Webinar SeriesAll webinars offer new information and resources related to WA state transition plans, and include connections with the Smarter Balanced Assessment System

9/26/12

Where to Start?FIRST: Phase 1 - CCSS Exploration and Awareness

ESD 113 Superintendent's Meeting

Among… District leaders and leadership teams Communities, parents, school boards Building leaders

Immerse yourself in and learn about… The WHY - The background and vision of the CCSS The WHAT - The major CCSS shifts in ELA and Math The HOW –

Our state’s approach toward supporting implementation Emerging resources and support systems

9/26/12

NEXT: Consider Phase 2 within your District and Community Context

ESD 113 Superintendent's Meeting

Start the transition by Setting the Course! Identify a core group of leaders as a lead CCSS

implementation team Establish a shared vision that will guide CCSS

implementation with all students and educators – What will it mean for your district/building and

community?

Developing District-Specific CCSS Implementation Plans Use the CCSS District Readiness Assessment to inform

transition planning Establish short and long term goals to begin moving

forward9/26/12

What about instructional materials?

ESD 113 Superintendent's Meeting

NOW Overall quality that attends to the major shifts

within the standardsAnd Deeper connections within the content Integrated high leverage instructional practices that

allow every student access to the CCSS within the instructional materials

Versus….THEN Standard-by-Standard alignment Unique supports for special populations of students

High School Testing

How much is appropriate? Currently five at 10th grade: Algebra, Geometry,

Reading, Writing, Biology 2014–15 Add two (SMARTER Balanced likely choice):

11th grade E/LA 11th grade math

How many should be passed for graduation? Class of 2015 (2012–13 sophomores) must pass five College and career-ready cut score for 11th grade exams

is likely too high for graduation How much do graduation tests cost?

$20M+ for Collection of Evidence (COE) for Class of 2015

11th grade tests will add $30/student/test9/26/12

Note: 10th grade exams measure high school proficiency with passage required for graduation; 11th grade exams measure career and college-ready standards.
