Superintendent Dorns Priorities for OSPI and K-12 Education CCR Systems Webinar Pt.1.9-16-138 OSPIs 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. Strategic Priorities (2011-2014) 1)Meet our Constitutional Obligation to Fully-fund our Public Schools 2)Improve Achievement for ALL Students 3)Improve our Student Assessment System 4)Expand Career and Technical Education (CTE) 5)Expand and Enhance Early Learning Opportunities 2014 Budget and Policy Priorities Full funding for basic education Implementation of: New Teacher Principal Evaluation System (TPEP) Common Core State Standards (CCSS ELA + M) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Smarter Balanced Assessments and supporting technology A newly aligned state and federal accountability system

Career and College Readiness (CCR) for EVERY Student CCR Systems Webinar Pt.1.9-16-139 What is YOUR vision for career and college readiness? What role do student learning standards and associated assessments serve in reaching this vision? What actions are you and your teams taking to prepare for CCR standards and assessments?

Our guiding beliefs and approach for CCR Standards Implementation in WA CCR Systems Webinar Pt.1.9-16-1310 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; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content. 2. The How: System Remodeling Belief that successful implementation will not take place top down or bottom up it must be both, and Belief that districts across the state have the conditions and commitment present to engage wholly in this work. Professional learning systems are critical

CCR Systems Webinar Pt.1.9-16-1311 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

Washingtons Reading (2005), Writing (2005) and Math (2008) Standards Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics Adopted July, 2011 Assessed 2014-15 Washingtons K-12 Learning Standards Landscape (CCSS-M, CCSS-ELA, EALRS, GLEs, PEs,) CCR Systems Webinar Pt.1.9-16-13 15 Washingtons English Language Development Standards (2003) Next Generation English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards (ELA and Math) Under Development: Drafts Summer 2013 Finals Anticipated in late 2013/Early 2014 Assessment Development (ELPA21): Beginning 2013-14 Anticipated Operational in 2015-16

The What: Next Generation ELP Standards to Correspond with CCSS Design Goals CCR Systems Webinar Pt.1.9-16-1316 1. Correspond with and be used in tandem with CCSS (ELA and Math) 2. Highlight and amplify the critical language, knowledge about language, and skills using language in the CCSS necessary for ELLs to be successful in school 1. Provide fewer, clearer, higher standards so teachers can focus on whats most important

The What: Next Generation ELP Standards to Correspond with CCSS Guiding Principles CCR Systems Webinar Pt.1.9-16-1317 1. ELLS need opportunities to interact in meaningful ways. Focus on interaction, collaboration, comprehension, communication with strategic scaffolding to guide appropriate linguistic choices Artful, integrated instruction 3 levels (emerging, expanding, bridging each with entry/progress thru exit) 2. ELLs need opportunities to learn about how English works. Complex texts and intellectually challenging activities with content integral to language learning Work in tandem with learning standards across all subject seen as HOV lane for acceleration Dedicated instruction in ELD that builds into and from instruction in ELA and literacy across content areas 3. ELLS need opportunities to learn foundational literacy skills (if they havent already learned them) Foundational literacy skills applied appropriately depending on individual student needs (vs membership to a group) Focus on developing reading fluency

Where to StartFIRST: Phase 1 CCSS Exploration and Awareness CCR Systems Webinar Pt.1.9-16-13 28 Among District leaders and leadership teams Building leaders and building teams Take the time to immerse yourself in and learn about The WHY - The background and vision of the CCR standards The WHAT - The major shifts in the content The HOW Our states approach toward supporting implementation Emerging resources and support systems

NEXT: Consider Phase 2 within your Building Context CCR Systems Webinar Pt.1.9-16-13 29 Start the transition by Setting the Course! Identify a core group of leaders (across grades and subjects; parents? Community partners?) as a lead implementation team Take stock of current instructional practices, strengths, and challenges Establish a shared vision that will guide implementation with all students and educators what will it mean for your district/building? Develop School-Specific Transition / Implementation Plans In relation to your districts overall vision and transition plan Access Achieve and Learning Forward materials to inform professional learning Establish short and long term goals to begin moving forward

Deliverables Exemplar Instruction Modules each instructional module will: Start by identifying the learning targets for the lesson, which align with the CCSS in ELA or Math. Begin lesson with a formative pre-assessment to determine the level of knowledge students have about the learning target. (ASSESS) Use formative assessment data/information to plan the lesson so that the teacher knows individual students needs related to the learning targets. (PLAN) Provide examples of instruction that can teach the learning target and also meet the needs of diverse learners.(TEACH) Conclude the lesson with a formative post- assessment whose data will determine the plan for the next lesson (ASSESS) Contain embedded links to the Digital Library resources, Assessment Literacy modules and glossary, and additional resources as available. Page 73 (Wireless Generation Response pg. 108 ) CCR Systems Webinar Pt.1.9-16-13

Deliverables Exemplar Instruction Each module will show video clips on: Classroom instruction of the learning targets Formative assessment (pre and post instruction) of the learning targets Teacher and student reflections following the lesson The length of each video will be between 13 minutes, with the final length of each module no longer than 1525 minutes. Each module will include a Teacher Resource Guide with: Graphic/visual and text versions of the full cycle of instruction using formative assessment practices; and key CCSS-M/ELA instructional shifts Student work samples (by grade band) from diverse student groups Examples of the writing required in each grade level Evidence gathering tools and techniques (by content and grade band) including pre- assessments (prior to lesson), post-assessments(following the lesson) Links to resources on CCSS, formative assessments, appropriate accommodations for CCSS content and meeting needs of diverse learners.
