Outcomes of WebinarUnderstanding of purpose of Common Core
State Standards (CCSS) and why SD adopted the standards
Understanding of professional development for the 2011-2012 school year
Reflect upon who should attend the workshop series
Outline activities that participants could complete to prepare for the workshops
Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
The Standards define the knowledge and
skills students should have so they will graduate from
high school to succeed in
postsecondary education and
careers.
K-12 Standards
• Mathematics
• English Language Arts
Who Developed the Common Core State Standards
National Governor’s Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), working with Achieve, ACT and the College Board, among others.
State departments of education specialists and teachers, including those in South Dakota, were involved in an extensive feedback and review process.
Released to the public on June 2, 2010.South Dakota BOE adopted these standards at their
November 2010 meeting.
Why the CC State Standards Improve education of student
Close the gap in preparedness for college and careers
Prepare students to compete in global economy
Shared understanding of what students are expected to learn, no matter where they live or how often they move

Assessment System ComponentsAssessment system that balances summative, interim, and formative components for
ELA and mathematics: Summative Assessment
• Comprehensive assessment in ELA and math in grades 3–8 and 11 that supports accountability and measures growth along a learning continuum
• Computer adaptive tests with selected response, short- and extended-constructed response, and technology enhanced items (within 12 week window at end of year)
• Performance tasks (2 per year in each subject) Interim Assessment
• Optional comprehensive and content-cluster assessments• Available throughout the year; non-secure allowing students & teachers to
review responses• Computer adaptive tests with selected response, short- and extended-
constructed response, and technology enhanced items• Performance tasks
Formative Processes and Tools • Optional resources for improving instruction and learning• Support for assessment literacy
South Dakota’s VisionProvide educators with a systemic model to implement the Common Core within a learning environment rich in collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking.
SD FocusProvide professional development
opportunity focusing on a framework and process to:
Gain an awareness of the focused standards
Develop a deep understanding of the focused standards
Learn a process to take standards from written words on paper to action in the classroom
What the PD is:Voluntary for educators to participate not
mandated by the stateDistricts make the decision on who to send not the
stateDistricts will decide how to implement not
prescribe one method of implementation Jump-start to district level conversation and
training to implement the CCSSCombination of online and face to face workshops
Process not an event or finished product

Underlying OutcomesProvide teachers with a hands on experience
to gain a deeper understanding of the standards;
Investigate how the Common Core standards impact teaching practices;
Learn about the Common Core standards starting with the end in mind, how the standards can be assessed, working through curriculum planning;
Give teachers opportunities to collaborate with other teachers from their grade levels as they understand Common Core standards;
Emphasize standards-driven curriculum;
Utilize Standards in Practice® theory and Understanding by Design model to gain model units of how to teach the standards that illustrate the vision;
Connecting relevant initiatives and the 4 Rs (rigor, relevance, relationships, results).
