Integrating EE, CCSS, and SI: Commitments from ODE

Visualizing the Connections

• School/District Leadership teams review Action Plans and Implementation Plans simultaneously

• Identify overlaps in personnel, time, resources, activities, and outcomes

• Collaborate to find efficiencies in these areas

• Coordinate/revise implementation plans

Integrating EE, CCSS, and SI: Recommendations for Districts

Activity #3: Reflection Questions for Discussion

• What are you already doing in your district integrating CCSS, EE and SI?

• What “A-HAs!” or opportunities come to mind based on the discussion so far?

• What recommendations do you have for us?

Recommendations

Activity #4: Cross-District Sharing

• Make eye contact with someone from another district– One minute each to share what your district is

doing or an “A-HAs”

• Take a break!

Connecting Educator Effectiveness and Common Core

• Describe knowledge, skills, and practices needed to meet standards

• Provide guidance on instructional strategies and techniques

• Inform job-embedded, ongoing professional development

Educator Effectiveness and Common Core both…

• To improve educator practice to support student achievement– CCSS focus on what students should know and be

able to do– EE standards for practice (rubric) describe what

educators should know and be able to do

Evaluation and Professional Growth Cycle

Activity #5: Comparing Rubrics

• Write down examples that will answer the following question:

“If I am implementing CCSS correctly, what will I be doing on the rubric?”

Reflection Questions for Discussion

• As you implement the Common Core, what teaching strategies do you see as being essential to successful implementation?

• What is the interrelationship between CCSS and EE?
