Race to the Top (RttT)Assurance B: Standards &

Assessments Participate in professional development on

the new academic content standards Revise existing local curricula in order to

align with new common core standards By March 2014, district curricula and course

pacing guides for English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies will be aligned to the new standards.

Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

Currently ELA and Math Sponsored by the National Governor’s Association

(NGA), and Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO)

Purpose: to ensure students meet the requirements of college and career readiness (CCR)

– Research and evidence based– Aligned with college and work expectations– Rigorous in content AND application of knowledge– Internationally benchmarked

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) continued

Educators, researchers, content experts and national organizations (including AFT) provided feedback (colleagues from TPS involved)

Revisions were made based on feedback Ohio adopted in June 2010 (required for RttT

eligibility) Model Curriculum adopted March 2011

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) continued

State standards NOT national standards– Written to create commonality across U.S.– Adoption was voluntary (although mandatory for

states applying for the RttT grant)– Currently 44 states adopted w/ several provisional– States were permitted to add up to 15% to the

CCSS to “personalize” them– Ohio chose not to add to the CCSS for monetary

reasons

Two Assessment Consortia

College and Careers (25 states) Drafts of the frameworks were released on August 3rd and will

be available on the PARCC website for public review until August 31st can provide feedback through a survey

– SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium- (31 states)– Each consortia is developing assessments which will look

very different– Ohio is an Advisory State to BOTH consortia
