Guiding beliefs and approach for CCSS implementation in WA
2-Prongs:1. The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators)
• Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content and connections across programs and standards.
2. The How: System “Remodeling”• Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take place top
down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…”• Professional learning systems are critical

Shifts in ELA1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational
texts in addition to literature2. Reading and writing grounded in evidence from the text3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabularyThese apply to content area (social studies, science, and technical subject) teachers as well as to English teachers.
Shifts in Mathematics1. Focus: 2-3 topics focused on deeply in each grade 2. Coherence: Concepts logically connected from one grade to the next
and linked to other major topics within the grade3. Rigor: Fluency with arithmetic, application of knowledge to real world
situations, and deep understanding of mathematical concepts
The “What”:ELA and Math Content Shifts

Building Educator Capacity is KEY
AWSP
STE
M
“The dramatic shift in teaching prompted by the common core will require practical, intensive, and ongoing professional learning – not one-off “spray and pray” training that exposes everyone to
the same material and hope it sticks”~Stephanie Hirsh, Learning Forward (2011)
“Current teachers must receive extensive professional development on the Common Core standards, curricular
materials, and strategies on teaching that now require students to delve deeper and develop critical thinking and analytical skills
that previous standards did not adequately address…”~ National Association of State Boards of Education (2011)

Resources for Considering Instructional Materials
AWSP
STE

OSPI Instructional Materials Web Site: http://www.k12.wa.us/CurriculumInstruct/InstructionalMaterialsReview.aspx
Washington State Open Educational Resource Review
From CCSS Developers: CCSS Publisher’s Criteria – ELA and Math
Going deeper with other states: EQuiP Review Rubrics and Process
These tools can be used to…• Inform materials review and adoption process• Consider existing materials• Facilitate targeted discussions, collaboration, and professional development with
publishers and other providers

What’s Happening This Year, 2013-14?• Exit exams remain the same (HSPE, EOC)
• CAA options remain the same• Class of 2013 had some relaxation of Collection of Evidence rules that
had been newly implemented – these will not continue (COE is limited to one submission per content area throughout HS, and requires two attempts on general assessment before submitting)
• Schools will be recruited for Smarter Balanced field test• Trying to avoid students having to take current test AND field test• Should know by beginning of August how double testing can be
avoided
