Why Standards? Why Common Core Standards?
Common Core State Standards establish consistency across the states.
Standards provide a shared vision for teachers and administrators.
Standards provide a shared vision of what students should know and be able to do.

46 states and Washington DC have adopted the Common Core Standards

Building Knowledge in the Disciplines: 6-12Every Teacher a Teacher of Literacy
Content teachers outside of the ELA classroom emphasize literacy experiences.
Rather than referring to the text, students are expected to learn from what they read.

6 Shifts in Mathematics
Focus - deeply on concepts prioritized in standards.
Coherence – connect learning within and across grades.
Fluency – students are expected to have speed and accuracy with simple calculations.
Deep Understanding – Teach more than “how to get the answers” and instead support students’ ability to access concepts from a number of perspectives.
Applications – Use and choose the appropriate concept for application even when not prompted.
Dual Intensity – Practicing and understanding both occurring with intensity.

What students can
learn at any particular
grade level depends
upon what they have
learned before.
K-12…Strength As One
![Page 10: Common Core State Standards The New National Initiative West Hempstead UFSD Board of Education Meeting March 19, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e915503460f94b96e91/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Goals of the Common Core:
Ensuring college and career readiness for all
Rigorous curriculum and instruction
Assessing what students know and can do
Using assessment data to improve student learning and to improve teaching practices
![Page 11: Common Core State Standards The New National Initiative West Hempstead UFSD Board of Education Meeting March 19, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e915503460f94b96e91/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Changes to NYSED Grades 3-8 ELA and Math Tests:
Assessing the Common Core
Beginning with the current school year (2012-13),
NYSED is re-designing its assessment program to
measure what students know and can do relative to
the grade-level Common Core State Standards.
![Page 12: Common Core State Standards The New National Initiative West Hempstead UFSD Board of Education Meeting March 19, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e915503460f94b96e91/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Specific changes to the Grades 3-8 ELA and math tests include the following:
Increases in Rigor – The CCSS are back-mapped, grade-by-grade, from college and career readiness. Many of the questions on the Common Core assessments are more advanced and complex than those found on prior assessments that measured prior grade-level standards.Focus on Text – To answer ELA questions correctly, students will need to read and analyze each passage completely and closely, and be prepared to carefully consider responses to multiple-choice questions. For constructed response items, students will need to answer questions with evidence gathered from rigorous literature and informational texts. Some texts will express an author’s point of view, with which not all readers will agree. Depth of Math – Students will be expected to understand math conceptually, use prerequisite skills with grade-level math facts, and solve math problems rooted in the real-world, deciding for themselves which formulas and tools (such as protractors or rulers) to use.

Accountability: The first New York State tests to measure student progress on the Common Core will be administered in April 2013 for Grades 3-8
ELA and math.
Because the new tests are designed to determine whether students are meeting a higher performance standard, we expect that fewer students will perform at or above grade-level Common Core expectations (i.e., proficiency) than was the case with prior-year State tests.
![Page 14: Common Core State Standards The New National Initiative West Hempstead UFSD Board of Education Meeting March 19, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e915503460f94b96e91/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
New York State, for the first time, will be reporting student grade-level expectations against a trajectory of college- and career-readiness as measured by tests fully reflective of the Common Core and, as a result, the number of students who score at or above grade level expectations will likely decrease.
Student scores on the Common Core assessments will not be directly comparable to scores from prior-year tests because the assessments are based on different, more rigorous standards. As such, the number of students meeting or exceeding Common Core grade-level expectations should not necessarily be interpreted as a decline in student learning or as a decline in educator performance.

PARCC:Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College/Careers
Nearly every state in the nation is working individually and collectively to improve its academic standards and assessments to ensure students graduate with the knowledge and skills most demanded by college and careers
![Page 16: Common Core State Standards The New National Initiative West Hempstead UFSD Board of Education Meeting March 19, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e915503460f94b96e91/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PARCC is an alliance of 22 states, educating nearly 25 million students, that are working together to develop a common set of K-12 assessments in English and math anchored in what it takes to be ready for college and careers.
![Page 17: Common Core State Standards The New National Initiative West Hempstead UFSD Board of Education Meeting March 19, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e915503460f94b96e91/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The PARCC Goals
1. Create high-quality assessments
2. Build a pathway to college and career readiness for all students
3. Support educators in the classroom
4. Develop 21st century, technology-based assessments
5. Advance accountability at all levels
6. Build an assessment that is sustainable and affordable

Implementation Timeline School Year 2011 – 2012 Recommend initial phase of CCSS implementation. Math and ELA tests continue to be aligned with 2005 Standards.
School Year 2012 – 2013 Ongoing CCSS rollout happens in the schools. NYS tests aligned to CCSS in Grades 3-8
School Year 2013 – 2014 Full implementation of CCSS in schools. NYS tests aligned to CCSS.
School Year 2014 – 2015 Full implementation of CCSS PARCC assessments (if adopted by the Board of Regents)
