Transcript of GET THE WHOLE PICTURE WALNUT VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT California Common Core Standards (CCCS)
Two New Acronyms
CCCS/CCSSCalifornia Common Core StandardsThese are now our “official” standards
But we have 3 or 4 years for transition
Also known as CCSS (Common Core State Standards)
What are the benefits of the CCSS?
Internationally benchmarked Student expectations are clear to parents,
teachers, and the general public Allows for collaboration with other states
on best practices, instructional materials, and professional development
Reduces costs to the state
The Common Core State Standards
To date, forty-six states and the District of Columbia have adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), a consistent set of English language arts (ELA) and mathematics expectations that students need to meet to succeed in college and careers
States have committed to implement the new standards by the 2014-15 school year
This is an aggressive timeline that will require a strategy that draws on state policymakers, district and school officials, and classroom teachers to ensure a successful and efficient implementation and transition
Overarching Goals for K-12 CCSS
Ensure that our students are:• Meeting college and work expectations• Prepared to succeed in our global economy
and society• Provided with rigorous content and
applications of higher knowledge through higher order thinking skills.
California’s Additional 15%
Based on the following criteria:Substantively enhanceAddress a perceived gapBe defensible to classroom
practitionersKeep the original standard
intactEnsure the rigor of California’s
existing standards is maintained
Why did we make this change?
To ensure that our students areMeeting college and work
expectationsPrepared to succeed in a global
economy and societyProvided with rigorous content and
application of higher knowledge thinking through higher order thinking skills
Gradual Release of Responsibility
Focused Lesson
Guided Instruction
Collaborative Learning
Independent Tasks
Teacher Responsibility
Student Responsibility
I do it
We do it
You do it together
You do it alone
Answers are Part of the Process, They are Not the Product
The product is the student’s knowledge and know-how.
The ‘correctness’ of answers is also part of the process. Yes, an important part.
Wrong answers are part of the process, too
What was the student thinking?
Was it an error of haste or a stubborn misconception
College, Career Readinessand Citizenship Survival Skills
Critical thinking and problem solving
Collaboration
Agility and adaptability
Initiative and entrepreneurism
Effective oral and written communication
Accessing and analyzing information
Curiosity and imagination

The Common Core and California’s 6.5%
ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS
Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects
+ 6.5%
Sections include:
English Language Arts K-5
English Language Arts 6-12
Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects
Design and Organization
Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects
College and Career Readiness (CCR) anchor standards
Reading 10 Standards
Reading Foundational Skills 4 Standards (Grades K-5 only)
Writing 10 Standards
Speaking and Listening 6 Standards
Language Standards 6 Standards
Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects (Grades 6–12 only)
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
What did CA add to ELA CCSS?
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 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 did CCSS 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
Emphasis on Informational Text
Distribution of Literary and Informational Passagesby Grade in the 2009 NAEP Reading Framework

The Standards for Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
4. Model with mathematics
5. Use appropriate tools strategically
6. Attend to precision
7. Look for and make use of structure
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
CCSS for Mathematics
Standards for Mathematical Practice• Carry across all grade levels.• Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert student.
Standards for Mathematical Content• K-8 standards are presented by grade level• High school standards are organized by conceptual themes:
Number and Quantity Algebra Functions Modeling Geometry Statistics and Probability
K-5 Domains

Assessment Timeline
Two assessments are being developedCurrent STAR was scheduled to sunset in
2012-13Budget constraints pushed STAR
extension to 2013-2014New assessment could be administered in

Next Steps for Implementation
Standards Messaging and Awareness – Build understanding
Impacting the Teaching and Learning Cycle
Teachers need time and space to work collaboratively across grade levels and curricular areas to make meaning of the new standards-based learning expectations
Standards-Based Reporting
Align systems for staff evaluation and support
