Learning Target
We are building awareness and gaining
familiarity with the Common Core State
Standards and assessment (SBAC).

• Develop awareness of CCSS
• Recognize the structure of the Common Core
State Standards (CCSS) for literacy
• Grasp assessment changes coming
• Consider implications and implementation plans
for OSD


Cause for Concern?

___% of high school graduates lack the literacy
skills employers seek (National Governor’s
Association).
Lack of basic skills costs universities and
businesses as much as $ _____ annually.
(Greene, 2000)
Only one out of ____ twelfth-grade students is a
proficient writer. (Salahya-Din, Persky, &
Miller, 2008)


Cause for Concern?

40% of high school graduates lack the literacy
skills employers seek (National Governor’s
Association).
Lack of basic skills costs universities and
businesses as much as $ 16 billion annually.
(Greene, 2000)
Only one out of 4 twelfth-grade students is a
proficient writer. (Salahya-Din, Persky, &
Miller, 2008)


What are Common Core State
Standards?
• The Common Core State Standards describe the
knowledge and skills in English Language Arts and
Mathematics that students will need when they
graduate, whatever their choice of college or career.
These sets of standards define the knowledge and
skills students should have to succeed in entry-
level, credit-bearing, academic college courses and
in workforce training programs. The standards are
based on the best national and international
standards, giving our students a competitive
advantage in the global economy.

Washington's Transition and
Implementation

OSPI and its partners will oversee a four-phase
implementation strategy. Phase one begins in
2011-12 with developing awareness of what the
standards are and how they differ from existing
standards. By 2014-15 these standards will be fully
implemented and student achievement will be
measured by a new assessment system.

History / Social Studies
Science, and Technical Subjects
• “It is important to note that these reading
standards are meant to complement the specific
content demands of the disciplines, not replace
them.”
page 60


Literacy in History/Social
Studies, Science, and Technical
Subjects
• Standards for reading and writing in:
▫ Science
▫ Social Studies
▫ History
▫ Other Technical Subjects*

*A course devoted to a practical study, such as
engineering, technology, design, business, or other
workforce-related subject; a technical aspect of a wider field
of study, such as art or music. (CCSS Glossary)

Define College and Career Ready
• Demonstrate • Build strong content
independence knowledge
• Comprehend & evaluate • Respond to the demands

• Construct effective audience, task, purpose,
arguments & discipline
• Convey intricate & • Comprehend as well as
multifaceted information critique
• Discern a speaker’s key • Value evidence

“This division reflects the unique,
time-honored place of ELA teachers in
developing student’s literacy skills
while at the same time recognizing that
teachers in other areas must have a
role in this development as well.”
(Introduction to the CCSS, p. 4)

Who is responsible for teaching the
Literacy Standards?

“The Standards insist that instruction in
reading, writing, speaking, listening, and
language be a shared responsibility within the
school.”
(Introduction to the CCSS, p. 4)

Update

Next Generation Assessments
• More rigorous tests measuring student progress toward
“college and career readiness”
• Have common, comparable scores across member
states, and across consortia
• Provide achievement and growth information to help
make better educational decisions and professional
development opportunities
• Assess all students, except those with “significant
cognitive disabilities”
• Administer online, with timely results
• Use multiple measures

Using Computer Adaptive Technology for
Summative and Interim Assessments
Faster results • Turnaround in weeks compared to months today

Shorter test length • Fewer questions compared to fixed form tests

• Provides accurate measurements of student growth over
Increased precision time

Tailored to student • Item difficulty based on student responses
ability
• Larger item banks mean that not all students receive the
Greater security same questions

• GMAT, GRE, COMPASS (ACT), Measures of Academic
Mature technology Progress (MAP)

April 2012 42
Update

Summative: Time and format
ELA and Math (last 12 weeks of year):
– Computer Adaptive Testing
• Selected response (MC), Constructed Response
(open-ended), Technology enhanced (e.g., drag
and drop, video clips, limited web-interface)
– Performance Tasks (like our CBAs)
• Up to 2 per content area in grades 3-8
• Up to 6 per content area in High School

April 2012 43
Update

Interim: Time and format
Interim assessments
– Can be used as often as needed
– Can be customized by districts/schools
• To focus on selected strands
• To clone summative test
– Will use Computer Adaptive Technology
– Released items from summative item bank

April 2012 44

Formative Assessment

• Optional for states
Improves Instruction • Non-secure
