- 20. States had to adopt the CCSS to qualify for RTTT grants or NCLB waivers. Not true, but it didn’t hurt
- 21. Federal Policy and CCSS College- and career- ready standards must be: • common to a significant number of states; or • approved by a ―state network of institutions of higher education‖, certify students will not need remedial courses (a network of 4-year IHEs that enroll at least 50% of students who attend state‘s 4-year public IHEs). High quality assessments must be: • Valid, reliable and fair; measure college & career readiness. • Measure student growth.
- 22. Federal Policy and CCSS Race to the Top • States do not have to adopt common standards to be eligible; but get points for doing so, more points for joining larger consortium (e.g. CCSSO/NGA). • Points for supporting transition to new standards/assessments. • Same criteria applied to assessments. • Make up 70 points of 500 points total.
- 23. RTTT scoring rubric for standards & assessments (total 500 points) Selection criteria Points Percent Standards and assessments 70 (of 500 total) 14% (1)Developing &adopting common 40 standards (i)Participating in consortium developing 20 high-quality standards (ii)Adopting standards 20 (2)Developing & implementing 10 common, high-quality assessments (3)Supporting transition to enhanced 20 standards & high-quality assessments
- 24. Federal Policy and CCSS NCLB waivers • develop and implement rigorous college- & career-ready standards & assessments in reading & math. • adopt English language proficiency standards aligned to new standards and assessments to support ELL students.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- In the last year, more information about the CCSS is being reported … not all of it accurately. School boards need to explain CCSS to their communities so this presentation will go through some of the statements being circulated about CCSS and attempt to identify what is true, what is not and what is still unknown.
- This is where a lot of your work as school board members comes in.
- Common core standards developed in 2009-2010 with NGA/CCSSO money and major support from foundationsIn 2009 49 states committed to be part of the process, but did not to adoption. States formally adopted CCSS after the final draft was released summer 2010.
- MN – adopted ELA only as of Jan 2012
- KS, MO, SD, IN, AL GA – legislative efforts to rescindGrassroots opposition emerging in other states
- AL, GA – failed to passSD, IN – passed legislatures, but not yet signed into law, as of April 3KS, MO – introduced, no vote yet
- Effort launched in 2009. An advisory group has provided advice and guidance to shape the initiative. Members of this group include experts from Achieve, Inc., ACT, the College Board, the National Association of State Boards of Education and the State Higher Education Executive Officers. Foundations included Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
- NSBA’s official position.
- Related to although not part of the CCSS, a collaboration of the above organizations and states are developing common standards for science. According to the collaboration website, the difference is that the development is driven more by the scientific and ed research communities. The standards are based on NRC’s framework for K-12 science education released July 2011. No plans for assessments at this point.
- As of Nov 2011.
- State consortia to develop common ‘next generation’ assessments. Will address needs for: rapid feedback diagnostic Will be administered by computer
- As of Jan 2012
- As of January 2012
- Federal grants
- Panel convened by the US Department of Education for the purpose of making sure the processes being used by the consortia are valid.
- Adopting CCSS was an easy way to score some points on state applications, but not the only way. Neither were CCSS a deciding factor.
- For both RTTT grants and NCLB waivers
- 10 broad areas of flexibility include: waive 2014 deadline of 100% proficiency; waive identification of schools for improvement; free up 20% set-aside for choice and tutoring, 10% for professional development, etc.
- There’s a good chance there will be economies of scale. Some costs are replacement dollars for things states and districts are already doing.
- Brookings estimates that participation in consortia can reduce costs by 25-37%Economies of scale may produce richer, better assessments at less cost But ….
- CA standards were well-reviewed but written in late 1990s and is now a CCSS state. VA is not a CCSS state, but went through a college-career alignment of its SOLs in 2009-10. VA has been granted NCLB waivers.
- There are political arguments for and against having national standards. I am just going to address the quality of the standards themselves, which have also come under some criticism. A lot of the critics cite a review commissioned by the Pioneer Institute and authored by Sandra Stotsky and Ze’evWurman. Both have strong credentials. But most of their criticisms are a misreading of the CCSS , as I will explain.
- 3 states with better ELA were California, DC and Indiana.
- This criticism has been widely reported.Conservative grassroots concerns, also English teachers
- Pushback from English teachers who argue that students won’t engage in informational reading. 2 considerations: The proportion refers to total reading, meaning English teachers should not be the only ones responsible for the reading standards. Also true with writing.
- Reflects importance of persuasive and expository writing in college, workplace and day-to-day life
- English teachers would be right to be concerned IF they were responsible for all of reading/writing at secondary level.ACT, Inc. has found that ability to read complex texts predictive of college success and increasingly, in the workplace, too.
- This does not mean we can do less with reading literature or want to. It does argue for expanding ELA instruction across the curriculum.
- Suggested reading from CCSS authors. Poetry includes classic American poems and a diverse range of American voices. Informational reading in history stresses biography, autobiography and primary historical documents, eg. Preamble of the Constitution and 1st amendment (not shown here but listed for grade 6-8). Science writing addresses engineering and math by some really good writers. This list is anything but boring.
- A forecast of the new assessments.
- This has also been widely reported. States and districts are still free to require cursive if they want to.
- William Schmidt is the foremost US authority on international math & science education, especially TIMSS. He was the first to observe that math curriculum in the US is a mile wide and an inch deep – something the CCSS are intended to correct by defining expectations that are focused and coherent.
- Schmidt and his team created these visual maps of various math topics. They show considerable coherence between topics addressed by top-achieving countries in their curricula and the CCSS. A map of state standards was, quite literally, all over the map.
- “Focused” – attempt to address the ‘mile wide, inch deep’ curriculumUnderstanding the math common core:“Students who have completed 7th grade and mastered the content and skills of the K-7 standardswill be well prepared for algebra in grade 8 or after.”Functions – describing situations where one quantity determines another, eg., return on investments
- The CCSS authors show two possible ways to organize high school math curriculum aligned to the CCSS. U.S. sequence: two algebra courses and a geometry course,With data, probability and statistics added;Typical international sequence: three courses, each ofwhich includes number, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics.States and districts are not precluded from offering 8th grade algebra or offering higher-level courses for students.
- Virginia grade 4 math item on rounding
- Common core example, same grade and concept
- CCSS item assess both math content and practices. SOL item only assesses content.
- Content, adding and/or multiplying fractions. Computer administered item. Check these out on the SMARTER Balanced website.
- The targets expressed by the CCSS are probably the right ones for college-career readiness. The test is in the implementation and assessments.
- This is where a lot of your work as school board members comes in.
- What has to happen in the interim
- 2012 CEP survey – availability of computers cited as number one challenge followed closely by adequate internet access and bandwidthEarly findings to Technology Readiness Survey indicate that hardware may not be a problem, but bandwidth remains a concern
- Districts will need to provide resources to their staffs and students in order to implement CCSS. As school boards, you need to have a process in place to assure that professional development and instructional resources are aligned to CCSS. You also need to establish policies governing use and access, for example, high-stakes v. low-stakes assessment, identifying students for interventions, etc.
- ACT’s college-career ready benchmark is based on a 75% probability of earning a ‘C’ in the relevant credit-bearing freshman course. Please note that there are NO performance levels established for the CCSS, and so this is a very preliminary look. Nonetheless, it offers a glimpse at the potential alignment between CCSS and current practices.
- Brown Center at Brookings Institute, crosswalked NAEP released items with common core standards and reported 2009 8th grade performance on test items addressing concepts and topics that appear in the CCSS. The National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) is administered by US Department of Education and tests a representative sample of students in each state.
- Kentucky got the word out to expect scores to go down the first year. As a result, no one panicked when it happened.
- KSBA helped their school board members communicate expectations and goals to the public and media so no one was surprised when the first scores came out. They also communicated the need for CCSS and the long-term strategy for getting there, keeping their eyes on the prize.
