Programme for International Student Assessment Report


In 2010:23,600 of 47,900 college freshman in the CSU system required remedial courses in English, math or BOTH.

That’s 49%.


CCSS is…

The most significant, exciting, hopeful educational reform in the last century

10


CCSS ensures that our students are:

Meeting college and career expectations

Provided a vision of what it means to be an academically literate person in the 21st Century

Prepared to succeed in our global economy

Towards CCSS Implementation

All Teachers Scaffold comprehension of complex texts Integrate technology/multimedia into instruction

ELA Teachers Teach more informational textEmphasize 3 modes of writingTeach communication/collaboration skills

Science, History, Art, Music, PE, W.L., etc.

Teach reading & writing skills in content areas

26


Let’s dive into The Standards…

27


Progression of Complexity

Each standard is backwards mapped from the targeted anchor standard…

28


College and Career Readiness Anchor Reading Standard 1

Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.

29CLC K-5 ELA Breakout Session March 2013


Progression of Complexity

A standard begins in kindergarten and progressively gets more difficult as the students move up through the grade levels

30


Implications

•Progression of Complexity

•Alignment of CCSS across content areas

34


Standards for Mathematical Practice

35

“The standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important “processes and proficiencies” with long standing importance in mathematics education.” (CCSS, 2010)


Eight Standards for Mathematical Practice

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

4. Model with mathematics.

5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

6. Attend to precision.

7. Look for and make use of structure.

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

36


The CCSS Requires Three Shifts in Mathematics

1. Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus.

2. Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics.

3. Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application.


Shift #1: Focus Strongly where the Standards Focus

• Significantly narrow the scope of content and deepen how time and energy is spent in the math classroom.

• Focus deeply on what is emphasized in the standards, so that students gain strong foundations.

38


Focus

• Move away from "mile wide, inch deep" curricula identified in TIMSS.

• Learn from international comparisons.

• Teach less, learn more.

• “Less topic coverage can be associated with higher scores on those topics covered because students have more time to master the content that is taught.”

39

– Ginsburg et al., 2005


Rigor

40

• The CCSSM require a balance of: Solid conceptual understanding Procedural skill and fluency Application of skills in problem solving

situations

• Pursuit of all three requires equal intensity in time, activities, and resources.


Solid Conceptual Understanding

• Teach more than “how to get the answer” and instead support students’ ability to access concepts from a number of perspectives

• Students are able to see math as more than a set of mnemonics or discrete procedures

• Conceptual understanding supports the other aspects of rigor (fluency and application) 41


Fluency

• The standards require speed and accuracy in calculation.

• Teachers structure class time and/or homework time for students to practice core functions such as single-digit multiplication so that they are more able to understand and manipulate more complex concepts

43


District Implementation Plan for the CCSS2013-2014

Math

•K-2: Envision CCSS materials, updated pacing guides and assessments and professional development

•3-5: Envision CCSS bridge materials, updated pacing guides and assessments and professional development

•6-8: Professional development and development of math pathways

ELA

•K-5: WRITE Tools training and aligning writing assessments to the CCSS

•6-8: WRITE Tools training, aligning writing assessments to the CCSS and professional development on literacy across content areas

•K-8: Continue current assessments for ELA (Stay tuned)

45


District Implementation Plan for the CCSS2013-2014

ELL

•K-5: Complete Systematic ELD training for all teachers and implementation of Systematic ELD instruction

•6-8: Complete Constructing Meaning training for all teachers and implementation of Constructing Meaning to support content instruction

•K-8: Progress monitoring conducted 3 times per year

•K-8: Conduct regular classroom walkthroughs for the implementation of Systemic ELD and Constructing Meaning

•K-8: Each site to conduct two parent engagement activities over the course of the school year.

SPED

•K-8 focus on developing IEPs to align with the CCSS

•K-8 continued focus on collaboration and articulation across the district 46


NGSS?

•NGSS refers to the Next Generation Science Standards

•How do they differ from what we currently have?•Increased STEM principles and a focus on engineering and problem solving for solutions based on scientific practice.

47


•California became the sixth state to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards with the unanimous approval Wednesday by the State Board of Education. The Board, however, has not yet adopted a timeline for implementing them.

•Like the Common Core standards, their counterparts in English language arts and math, the new science standards stress problem solving, critical thinking and finding common principles or “cross-cutting concepts” that engineering and various fields of science share. They emphasize scientific thinking and big ideas over memorization in the hope that more students will become intrigued by science.
