HOW DID THE CCSS CONVERSATION START?

What does a student need to know and be able to do to enter when entering college or beginning a career/job?

College & Career Readiness Standards

Given the College & Career Readiness Standards, what does this trajectory look like in K-12 classrooms?

Multiple rounds of feedback and revision

States who had standards participated in developing the CCSS.

State Option to Adopt the CCSS42 states have adopted the CCSSNorth Carolina adopted the CCSS on June 3, 2010.

THE PROMISE OF STANDARDS

These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step. It is time for states to work together to build on lessons learned from two decades of standards based reforms. It is time to recognize that standards are not just promises to our children, but promises we intend to keep.

Our Assumptions: For RCS and for Our School

Student learning is the highest priority.The Professional Learning Communityframework guides our work.

Expertise is shared and tapped within andoutside of our teams.

Things aren’t always perfect.

This is a safe space to network, share ideas andask questions.

Curriculum is a ComplexCombination of

Materials, Resources, and Actions

exists and evolves within the operatingculture of public schools

Guidance Comes From the Standards...

But the Standards Aloneare Not Enough

In Addition to Standards, Teachers Need Local Curriculum to Clarify District Expectations.

Local Curricula Helps Teachers

Define it:What is it we expect students to learn?

Measure it:How will we know when they have learned it?

Scaffold it:How will we respond when they don’t learn it?

Extend it:How will we respond when they already know it?

Components of Local Curricula

·Learning Targets·Instructional Sequence·Recommended Delivery Practices·Assessment Guidance·Professional Development·Policies & Regulations

Context

Are the parameters of theassessment reasonably

similar to the parameters ofthe instruction?

Professional Learning Communitiesare Guided by

Four Essential Questions

1.What is it we expect studentsto learn?2.How will we know when theyhave learned it?3.How will we respond when theydon’t learn it?

4.How will we respond when theyalready know it?

Students are most successful whenteachers have a shared understanding of

“it”

1.What is it we expect students to learn?

2.How will we know when they have learned it?

3.How will we respond when they don’t learn it?

4.How will we respond when they already know it?
