  1. South Lewis Central School District “RttT Mini-Series 4” March2014 Faculty Meeting

  2. Learning Targets… • To discuss the changes to Race to the Top that have developed over the past month • To learn about the math modules, UPK-12th grade

  3. Changes to RttT… • There are changes that will be coming, and further guidance is expected • However, the headline that came out on Feb. 10th caused a lot of initial confusion, Regents Adjust Common Core Implementation: • Full Implementation Delayed Until 2022 • Teachers, Students Protected from Impact of Assessment Transition • inBloom Delayed

  4. Full Implementation Delayed Until 2022… • Common core implementation is still on track as we had previously planned • 2013-14 Full implementation in UPK-9 • 2014-15 Full implementation 10th grade • 2015-16 Full implementation 11th grade • 2016-17 Full implementation 12th grade Therefore, the class of 2017 will still be the first class to be required to take CC math and ELA classes and to take CC Regents in these subjects.

  5. What’s new? • The class of 2022 will be the first class that will/may need to score at the “aspirational levels” (comparable to a current 75 in ELA and 80 in math) on the Regents exams in order to pass them • Currently, the passing scale score is 65

  6. Teachers, Students Protected from Impact of Assessment Transition… • The requirements for AIS will be adjusted • Multiple measures shall be used by districts to make student retention/promotion decisions (not solely state assessment data) • Districts will be encouraged to review local assessments and eliminate unnecessary or duplicative assessments

  7. Teachers, Students Protected from Impact of Assessment Transition… • Capping at 1% the instructional time that can be used for local assessments used to inform teacher evaluations • Eliminate local traditional standardized tests for K-2 used to inform teacher evaluation • Protection of teachers and principals from unfair termination based on 2012-13 and 2013-14 assessment results in districts that didn’t implement the Common Core timely

  8. What does this mean to SL? • South Lewis is already doing these 6 things, so truly we don’t anticipate this item having any major change to our current plan. • However, as more and continued guidance is available in this area we will share this information with you.

  9. inBloom Delayed… • inBloom is a company that was going to be used to “house” all of the data that was stored for each district, and districts were then to select 1 of 3 state data dashboards so that parents, teachers, and students could access educational information • The use of a state data dashboard would be free to districts in 2013-15, but districts would have to pay to continue this service in 2015-16 and beyond

  10. inBloom Delayed… • “the state has delayed the launch of the data dashboards related to inBloom to allow SED to work with legislators to address concerns about data security and third party providers used by the State and districts.

  11. UPK-12 Math Modules… • Central Concepts (Shifts) • Rigorous work with math, that builds vertically (progression documents) • Understanding the concepts of how math and numbers work (not emphasis on algorithms) • Building fluency • Applying math to the real world, and knowing when and how to use the math to solve problems

  12. Fluency (Sprints)… • Each lesson in UPK-5 begins with a fluency activity, taking about 10-12 minutes (lessons at these grades are 60 minutes per day) • At grades 6-8, fluency is added in occasionally (lessons at these grades are 45 minutes) • Practice a Sprint

  13. Solve… (what grade do you think these problems are for?) • ½ + ¼ = • ¾ x 12 = • ¼ x 1/3 = • For the 2nd or 3rd one, think of a word problem where it could be used.

  14. Video… • http://www.engageny.org/resource/fractions-number-line-and-area-model • As you are watching, write down a word problem for #2 or #3?

  15. What shift(s) were/was seen with this example? • Central Concepts (Shifts) • Rigorous work with math, that builds vertically (progression documents) • Understanding the concepts of how math and numbers work (not emphasis on algorithms) • Building fluency • Applying math to the real world, and knowing when and how to use the math to solve problems
