Launching the
Common Core State Standards
We need to prepare our students for 21st Century
Learning in an information age with technology innovations that will be developed that we can not
yet even imagine!
How will teaching and learning change in the 21st
Century?http://youtu.be/yfpa9uTWdJE
Communication Collaboration
Critical Thinking Creativity
In order to prepare our students to become 21st Century Learners they need to master the skills needed for school and work known as the 4c’s.
21st Century Skills and the 4c’s are infused in the
Career and College Ready Standards which are the end
goals of the Common Core Standards
Each grade level Common Core Standard spirals with increasing
difficulty from Kindergarten to
Career and College Ready
Career and College Ready Standard examples:
Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when reading or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.
Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
Prepare and participate effectively in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.
Present information, findings, and supporting evidence such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning and the organization , development , and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.
SMUSD will fully implement the Common Core State Standards
in 2014-2015
We will take the new national test with Common Core
Standards in Spring of 2015
We have two years to make the transition!
Where did the Common Core
standards come from?
• Council of Chief State School Officers and National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, teachers, school administrators, and experts worked together to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare students for college and workforce.
• Standards adopted by most states.
• Currently each state has its own set of standards; student expectations vary from state to state.
Focus-narrow and deepen the scope
Coherence connecting across grade levels
Fluency-speed and accuracy
Deep understanding
Application of concepts
Dual Intensity -practice and understand
Shifts in Common Core
Math
K-12 Mathematical Practice Standards
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Model with mathematics. Use appropriate tools
strategically. Be precise. Look for and make use of
structure. Look for and express regularity
in repeating reasoning.
There are two sets of
Standards in math:
Math Practice Standards
andMath Domain
Standards
Math Domain Standards
Counting and Cardinality (K only)Operations in Algebraic Thinking(K-5)Number and Operations in Base Ten (K-5)Measurement and Data (K-5)Geometry (K-5)Number and Operations-Fractions (grades 3-5)
New Common Core Assessments
Who is creating them?SMARTER-Balanced Assessment Consortium
Who else is using these tests?Currently 29 states
What is the purpose?To develop a comprehensive and innovative assessment system for grades 3-8 and grade 11 in English Language Arts and Mathematics aligned to the Common Core Standards so that students leave high school prepared for post secondary success in college or a career.
Summative assessments aligned to College and Career Readiness Standards
Computer adaptive Administered during last 12 weeks of school year Results will show achievement and growth Question types:
1. Selected Response2. Constructed Response
3. Extended Response 4. Performance –Based Tasks 5. Technology-Enhanced 6. Technology-Enabled
How will the National Assessments be different
than the STAR?
Grade 3 MathSelected Response
Students answer all fourquestions to provide teachers with formative assessment results on student understanding of the content.
Transition Plan for 2013-14 Implement CCSS math units and
assessments Implementation of CCSS writing Implement Kindergarten ELA and Math
units, assessments, and report cardsPLC Leaders will continue to develop ELA
units for implementation in 2014-15
There are Big Changes ahead and we will be
ready!The next video clip illustrates how teaching and learning will change in the 21st Century using the 4c’s
Collaboration + Communication + Critical Thinking+ Creativity
Partnership for 21Century Learning presents: Above and Beyond
