Who we are
* Elements of Next Generation Assessments
* Assessment Consortia Updates
* Steps to align assessment items to CCSS
* Using formative assessments
* Action Planning
Goals for the Day
1. List two things you already know about the Common Core State Standards.
2. At what stage is your district in the transition to the Common Core State Standards?
Meeting your expectations
What do students need to know and be able to do?
How will we facilitate learning for all students?
How will we know that students have sufficient understanding?
What do we do if they have not achieved proficiency?
Essential Elements
Building a Common Understanding
We must work collaboratively We must think differently We must alter our thinking, our instructional
practice and how we collect evidence of student learning.
We must do this for our students
Fewer
Clearer
Higher Rigor
Common Core State Standards
3.OA.8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
3.2.7 Use estimation to decide whether answers are reasonable in addition and subtraction problems. 3.3.1 Represent relationships of quantities in the form of a numeric expression or equation. 3.3.2 Solve problems involving numeric equations. 3.3.3 Choose appropriate symbols for operations and relations to make a number sentence true.
Fewer Standards
Demonstrate understanding of multiple perspectives Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system
of units Create engaging audio recordings Comprehend literature
Clearer
Standards identify expectations, not rigor
High expectations does not equate to high rigor
The rigor is not in the standards it is in the skills student acquire in their classrooms
Higher Rigor
A ball and bat together cost $1.10
The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball
What is the cost of the ball?

Why Now?
Common Core State Standards
Ensure that ALL students are prepared for post secondary education and the workforce.
Provide a set of CLEAR expectations.
Ensure that we maintain America’s competitive edge!

From Your Perspective:What are the greatest challenges to meeting the expectations of the CCSS?
Partnership for assessment of
college and career readiness
Partnership for assessment of readiness for college and careers (PARCC)
Governing Board States Participating States
PARCC ASSESSMENTS
End-of-Year Assessment
• Innovative, computer-based items
Performance-BasedAssessment (PBA)• Extended tasks• Applications of
concepts and skills
Summative assessment for accountability
Formative assessment
Early Assessment• Early indicator of
student knowledge and skills to inform instruction, supports, and PD
ELA/Literacy
• Speaking• Listening
Flexible
Mid-Year Assessment
• Performance-based
• Emphasis on hard to measure standards
• Potentially summative
