Transcript Common Core Update

MOVING TO THE COMMON
CORE STANDARDS
Why did California make this
change?
 To ensure that our students are
 Meeting college and work expectations
 Prepared to succeed in a global economy
and society
 Provided with rigorous content and
application of higher knowledge thinking
through higher order thinking skills
Benefits
 Common Core standards are
benchmarked against international
standards
 Student expectations are clear
 Allows for collaboration among states
on best practices, professional
development, materials
 Economies of scale
New Acronyms


CCSS or CCCS
Common Core State Standards
Common Core California Standards
Common Core +
These are now our “official” standards
But we have 3 or 4 years for transition
K-5 Domains for Mathematics
To Compare
Middle Grades
To Compare
From Santa Clara COE Presentation
High School
Arranged by cluster (not course)
 Number and quantity
 Algebra
 Functions
 Modeling
 Geometry
 Probability and Statistics
To Compare
From Santa Clara COE Presentation
What did CA add to Math CC?
 Calculus and AP Probability and
Statistics
 Operations and Algebraic Thinking
additions in Grades 2 through 5
 Measurement and data additions in
Grades 2
 Grade 6--the Number System
What did CC add to CA Math?
 2 Options for Eighth Graders
 Algebra 1
 Eighth Grade CC Math Standards
 K-7 standards augmented to
prepare for either option
 Clearer grade-to-grade organization
What’s different in math?
 More similarities than differences
 Some shifts in grade level for some skills
 Organization of the standards
 By grade level through Grade 8
 Algebra 1
 Clusters of standards for 9-12
 Two options for eighth graders
CCCS Advances for ELA
 Balance of literature and information text
 Text complexity
 Emphasis on argument and explanatory
writing
 Writing about sources
 Inclusion of formal and informal talk
 Stress on vocabulary—general academic
and subject specific
What’s Different in ELA?
 Current ELA domains: reading,
writing, listening and speaking,
and written and oral language
conventions.
 CCCS strands: reading, writing,
speaking and listening, and
language
Big Advantage in CCCS
Subheadings
are
consistent
across all
grades!
What did CC add to CA ELA?
 Vocabulary standards
 Standards for “collaborative discussions”
 Literacy standards for history/social
studies, science, and technical subjects
 Embedded in K-5
 In Grades 6-12 these are a separate set-expectation is these will be shared
between ELA teachers and teachers in
history/social studies and science
What did CA add to ELA CC?
 Formal presentations, Grades 1-12
 Penmanship, Grades 2-4
 Career and consumer documents
for writing in Grade 8
 Analysis of text features in
informational text, Grades 6-12
CCCS ELA Organization
 Three Main Sections
 Comprehensive K-5
 ELA Comprehensive 6-12
 Social Studies and
Science/Technical for 6-12
9-10 and 11-12 Grade Bands
ELA Alignment with NAEP
From Santa Clara COE Presentation
This does not mean that 12th English classes should
be 70% informational text but that reading should also
occur in other disciplines.

How common are they?
So far 42
states and
territories
have adopted
the Common
Core.

Assessment Timeline
 Two assessments are being developed
 CA is in a 26 state consortium to create new assessments (CA may
join other consortium based on new Governor and SPI)
 Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and
Careers (PARCC)
 Current STAR sunsets in 2012-13
 New assessment could be administered in 2014-15 and piloted the
year before
 For information on each assessment consortium:
 PARCC: http://www.achieve.org/files/CCSS&Assessments.pdf
 Smarter Balanced Assessment: http://www.k12.wa.us/smarter/
New Assessments:
Beyond the Bubble
 According to New York Times (9/3/2010)
 Not only end-of-year but also formative tests that
teachers will administer during year
 Include “performance-based tasks, designed to
mirror complex, real-world situations”
 New assessments will be “computerized”
 Will measure higher order thinking
