  1. Common Core StandardsForsyth County Schools Office of Academics & Accountability

  2. Essential Questions • What are the Common Core Standards? • How different are the new standards from Georgia Performance Standards? • When will they be implemented? • How is FCS preparing for the change?

  3. Common Core State Standards • State-led initiative coordinated by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) • English and Mathematics Standards K-12 • Literacy Standards for Social Studies/History, Science, and Technical Subjects 6-12

  4. A National Movement An Initiative of the National Governor’s Association and Council of Chief State School Officers

  5. Promise of Common Core • CCGPS define the knowledge and skills students should master during their K-12 education so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs. • The standards: • Are aligned with college and work expectations • Are clear, understandable, and consistent • Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through higher-order skills • Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards • Are informed by other top performing countries so that all students are prepared to succeed in a global economy and society; and • Are evidence-based

  6. CCGPS English Language Arts Standards

  7. Design and Organization of ELA • K-12 English Language Arts Standards • Reading standards for literature (RL) • Reading standards for informational text (RI) • Reading standards: foundational skills K-5 ONLY (RF) • Writing standards (W) • Speaking and Listening (SL) • Language standards (L)

  8. Design and Organization of Literacy • 6-12 Literacy Standards • Reading standards for History/Social Studies (RH) • Reading standards for Science/Technical Subjects (RST) • Writing standards for History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects (WHST)

  9. Example of Spiral Effect

  10. Impact of K-12 CCGPS ELA • Assessment • Rigor • Text Complexity • Common Core Appendix B • Emphasis on Informational Text • Student Work Samples/Evidence • Common Core Appendix C • Technology

  11. CCGPS Mathematics Standards

  12. Overview of CCGPS Mathematics Standards • Written to assume mastery, in any given year, of the preceding year’s standards • Outlined in three distinct sections • Standards of mathematical practice • Standards for mathematical content for K-8 • Standards for mathematical content for 9-12

  13. K-5 Domains

  14. 6-8 Domains

  15. 9-12 Mathematics Content

  16. CCGPS Courses for Entering 9th Graders 2012 • CCGPS Coordinate Algebra • CCGPS Coordinate Algebra Support • CCGPS Analytic Geometry • CCGPS Analytic Geometry Support • CCGPS Advanced Algebra • CCGPS Advanced Algebra Support • CCGPS Pre-Calculus • Accelerated CCGPS Coordinate Algebra/Analytic Geometry A • Accelerated CCGPS Analytic Geometry B/Advanced Algebra • Accelerated CCGPS Pre-Calculus

  17. Standards of Mathematical Practice • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them • Reason abstractly and quantitatively • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others • Model with mathematics • Use appropriate tools strategically • Attend to precision • Look for and make use of structure • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

  18. Assessment Implications

  19. CCGPS Implementation

  20. PARCC

  21. FCS Implementation Plan

  22. Forsyth County Schools will . . . • Determine power and supporting standards in English & Math • Articulate learning progressions K-12 • Revise pacing guides, instructional frameworks, and benchmark assessments to align to CCGPS • Revise the standards-based report cards and assessments K-5 • Support Literacy standards in Science, Social Studies, and Technical Subjects through the Gates Foundation’s Literacy Design Collaborative 6-12

  23. FCS Implementation Plan • Leadership and Learning Center (K-12) • Supports English and Math Common Core • Gates Foundation Grant (6-12) • Supports Common Core Literacy Standards in Science, Social Studies, and Technical Subjects • Orientation for all Teachers October 31 • Data Teams Training November 30-December 1 • Prioritize and Unwrap Standards February 17 • Year Two – Assessment and Unit Design

  24. Building Capacity
