CCSS Implementation in Washington’s Context

Key components of Washington’s CCSS implementation

CCSS in the context of Washington’s current state

Our guiding beliefs for CCSS

Implementation in WA…

5/29/12 3

Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided

a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS.

We are entering a “new generation” of standards implementation…

Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take place

top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…”

Coherent and coordinated vision and supports at state, regional, and local

levels

Belief that districts across the state have the conditions and

commitment present to engage wholly in this work.

District teams; Collaborative time for educators; thirst for working with

and learning from other districts

Implementing the Common Core State

Standards in Washington State

May 2012 Common Core Symposium 4

Our Vision: Every student will have access to the CCSS standards through high quality

instruction aligned with the standards every day; and every educator is prepared and

receives the support they need to implement the standards in their classrooms every day.

Our Purpose: To develop a statewide system with resources that supports all school

districts in their preparation of educators and students to implement the CCSS.

This includes building system-wide capacity for sustained professional

learning that can support CCSS implementation now and be applied to

other initiatives in the future.

Our Core Values: This vision can only occur through

core values of clarity, consistency, collaboration,

coordination, and commitment from classrooms,

schools, and communities to the state level.

“Dramatic shift in teaching…”


“The dramatic shift in teaching prompted by the

common core will require practical, intensive, and

ongoing professional learning – not one-off “spray and

pray” training that exposes everyone to the same

material and hope it sticks”

--Stephanie Hirsch, Learning Forward

March 2012 CCSS Webinar Series Part 3: District and Building

Leaders 7

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?

Shifts in ELA

1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and

informational texts in addition to literature

2. Reading and writing grounded in evidence from the text

3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary

These apply to content area (social studies, science, and technical subject) teachers

as well as to English teachers.

Shifts in Mathematics

1. 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

Washington’s Testing System Transition

Current Testing System

Reading and Math: Grades 3–8 and 10

Writing: Grades 4, 7, 10

Science: Grades 5, 8, 10

SBAC/CCSS Testing System (fully operational in 2014-15)

English/Language Arts and Math: Grade 3–8 and 11*

Science exams are required under ESEA but are not included in

SBAC *11th grade to measure college and career readiness. We are working with higher ed to explore the possible use of these measures as an alternative for college placement (or entrance).

Will 11th grade exam be used for graduation (exit

exam) in Washington?

If these exams are our exit exams what will the

CAA options be?

Will the Summative SBAC test replace our End of

Course exams or will SBAC have End of Course

exams too?

How will Washington’s science tests mesh with

these tests?


Still to be worked out:
