KANSAS COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS STANDARDS KCCRS

WHY ALL THE HPYE WITH KCCRS? Its a new way of learning and processing information.

NEED FOR CHANGE IN THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM Predominantly school are still designed as they were for the industrial period Turning out mass workforce for high intensity labor Fundamental switch from manual labor to thinking labor Schools need to change to accommodate the new information and technology era.

HOW MUCH INFORMATION DO WE HAVE? The study has, for the first time, used "terabytes" as a common standard of measurement to compare the size of information in all media, linking and interpreting research reports from industry and academia. One terabyte equals a million megabytes or the text content of a million books. The United States produces 35 percent of all print material, 40 percent of the images and more than half of the digitally stored material. (University of California at Berkley study.)

HOW MUCH INFORMATION? The directly accessible "surface" Web consists of about 2.5 billion documents and is growing at a rate of 7.3 million pages per day. Counting the "surface" Web with the "deep" Web of connected databases, intranet sites and dynamic pages, there are about 550 billion documents, and 95 percent is publicly accessible. A white-collar worker receives about 40 e-mail messages daily at the office. (University of California at Berkley study.)

INFO Print accounts for such a miniscule amount of the total information storage. Vast amount of unique information stored and also created by individuals. Original documents created by office workers represent nearly 90 percent of all original paper documents, while 56 percent of magnetic storage is in single-user desktop computers. Ordinary people not only have access to huge amounts of data, but are also able to create gigabytes of data themselves Predominance of digital information is because digital information is potentially accessible anywhere on the Internet and is a "universal" medium (University of California at Berkley study.)

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE WORKFORCE? Need for postsecondary education and training Use of higher order thinking skills Use of technology Continual change People who can think about thinking Creative, analytical minds

A NEW GENERATION OF STANDARDS FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS Advance instruction shift focus from AYP to CCR Cultivate habits of mind approaches to learning that are intellectual, practical, and spur student success Facilitate collaboration among students, among disciplines, among states These standards are our renewed opportunities to:

MAKING THE SHIFT Pre-KCCRS to Post-KCCRS

COMMON CORE SHIFTS ELA & CONTENT LITERACY

BALANCING INFORMATIONAL AND LITERARY TEXT ELA Shift 1

SHIFT 1 Use a variety of texts Use informational texts, fictional and nonfictional texts Include other types of texts like articles, internet, speeches.

BUILDING KNOWLEDGE IN THE DISCIPLINES ELA Shift 2

SHIFT 2 Reading across the disciplines Use content areas to further reading Reading can be taught in ALL content areas

SHIFT 1 Balancing Informational and Literary Texts SHIFT 2 (Link to 6-12) Building Knowledge in the Disciplines Paired Texts: The Human Body Fourth-Sixth Grade

INCREASE COMPLEXITY OF TEXT AT EACH GRADE LEVEL ELA Shift 3

SHIFT 3 Read and reread Be persistent; read challenging materials Leveled readers for struggling readers Scaffolding Build in a joy of read by high interest texts at appropriate reading level for the student. Use all parts of the text, glossary, table of contents, picture captions, etc

STAIRCASE OF COMPLEXITY SHIFT 3 Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks Expectation of proficiency and independence in reading grade level text

SHIFT 3 Staircase of Complexity PRE-CCSS K-5 Thank you for hands and feet that keep a beat, for ears that hear, and eyes that see. Thank you for each bendy knee. Thank you for hands and feet that keep a beat, for ears that hear, and eyes that see. Thank you for each bendy knee.

SHIFT 3 Staircase of Complexity POST-CCSS K-5 When you eat fresh fruits and vegetables and protein foods like meat, milk, and beans you are giving your body the things it needs to grow.

TEXT BASED ANSWERS ELA Shift 4

SHIFT 4 Questions tied directly to the text, but extend beyond the literal Students must cite text to support answers Personal opinions, experiences, and connections to the text are minimized in favor of what the text actually says or doesnt say Answers to questions are found in the text and student gives evidence from text to support their answers.

SHIFT 4 Text-based Answers Pre-CCSS 2 nd 3 rd Grade Post-CCSS

WRITING FROM SOURCES ELA Shift 5

SHIFT 5 Fewer personal narratives Argumentative takes center stage as preferred writing genre Use multiple sources Analyze and synthesize information Develop own voice for writing

WRITING FROM SOURCES SHIFT 5 Appendix C: Samples of Student Writing Argumentative writing is especially prominent in the CCSS

SHIFT 5 Writing from Sources Pre-CCSS 4th 5th Grade Post-CCSS

ACADEMIC VOCABULARY ELA Shift 6

ACADEMIC VOCABULARY SHIFT 6 Ramp up instruction of Tier Two words

SHIFT 6 Academic Vocabulary K-5

AREAS FOR EMPHASIS FOR MATHEMATICS Focus strongly where the Standards focus, using the Critical Areas Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, application, and procedural skill and fluency Mathematical Practices and 6 Shifts - Considerations

MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES (PAGES 6-7 OF THE DOCUMENT) 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.

FOCUS Mathematics Shift 1

PRIORITIES IN MATH Grade Priorities in Support of Rich Instruction and Expectations of Fluency and Conceptual Understanding K2 Addition and subtraction, measurement using whole number quantities 35 Multiplication and division of whole numbers and fractions 6 Ratios and proportional reasoning; early expressions and equations 7 Ratios and proportional reasoning; arithmetic of rational numbers 8Linear algebra 39

COHERENCE Mathematics Shift 2:

SHIFT 2 COHERENCE Build from year to year Scope and sequence Vertical Alignment of curriculum is crucial

FLUENCY Mathematics Shift 3:

KEY FLUENCIES GradeRequired Fluency KAdd/subtract within 5 1Add/subtract within 10 2 Add/subtract within 20 Add/subtract within 100 (pencil and paper) 3 Multiply/divide within 100 Add/subtract within 1000 4Add/subtract within 1,000,000 5Multi-digit multiplication 6 Multi-digit division Multi-digit decimal operations 7Solve px + q = r, p(x + q) = r 8Solve simple 2 2 systems by inspection 43

DEEP UNDERSTANDING Mathematics Shift 4:

SHIFT 4 DEEP UNDERSTANDING The assumption here is that students who have deep conceptual understanding can: 1. Find answers through a number of different routes (More than one way to solve a problem.) 2. Articulate their mathematical reasoning (Explain how they got the answer.) 3. Be fluent in the necessary baseline functions in math, so that they are able to spend their thinking and processing time unpacking mathematical facts and make meaning out of them. (Has automaticity of computation skills.) 4. Rely on their teachers deep conceptual understanding and intimacy with the math concepts (Teachers have clear understanding of math.)

APPLICATION Mathematics Shift 5:

SHIFT 5 APPLICATION Apply math in other content areas and situations, as relevant Choose the right math concept to solve a problem when not necessarily prompted to do so Apply math including areas where its not directly required (i.e. in science) Provide students with real world experiences and opportunities to apply what they have learned

DUAL INTENSITY Mathematics Shift 6:

SHIFT 6 DUAL INTENSITY Practice for fluency Practice for understanding and application Apply both. Must be able to do both computation and concepts well. (Focus is no longer one or the other depending on grade level.)
