  1. Introduction to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) and PARCC Assessments

  2. Created by: COUNCIL OF CHIEF STATE SCHOOL OFFICERS (CCSSO) & NATIONAL GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION logo taken from www.corestandards.org

  3. Standards Development Process corestandards.org Summer 2009 - Develop college and career readiness standards Develop K-12 learning progressions Collect multiple rounds of feedback from states, teachers, researchers, higher education and the general public June 2, 2010 - Final Common Core State Standards released

  4. Why is this important? Previously, each state had their own academic standards. Students will now have less difficulty moving between schools and states. All students have clear expectations and skills to compete with both American and international peers. Textbooks can have more focus, coherence and rigor. States can share resources and compare data. adapted from corestandards.org

  5. *Minnesota adopted the CCSS in ELA/literacy only www.corestandards.org 45 States + DC Have Adopted the Math Common Core State Standards

  6. The Common Core State Standards: corestandards.org • Have rigorous content and application of knowledge • Use lessons learned from current state standards • Are internationally benchmarked • Are based on evidence and research

  7. Common Core State Standards • Fewer, Clearer, Higher • Focus • Coherence • Rigor

  8. Intentional Design Limitations corestandards.org What the Standards do NOT define: The nature of advanced work beyond the core The interventions needed for students well below grade level The full range of support for English language learners and students with special needs

  9. Standards for Mathematical Practice These are K-12 standards that describe habits of mind of a mathematically proficient student • 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.

  10. Standards for Mathematical Content • K-8 Standards presented by grade level • Each grade introductions highlights critical areas • Organized into domains that progress over several grades • High School Standards presented by conceptual categories (Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics & Probability)

  11. CCSSM Vocabulary Organization of the document • Standards define what students should understand and be able to do. • Clusterssummarize groups of related standards. • Domainsare larger groups of related standards. **Standards from different domains and clusters may sometimes be closely related.

  12. K-8 Domain Operations & Algebraic Thinking 5.OA • Write and interpret numerical expressions. • 5.OA.1. Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols. • 5.OA.2. Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product. Standards Cluster

  14. Putting It All Together corestandards.org Standards: Important but insufficient To be effective in improving education and getting all students ready for college, workforce training, and life, the Standards must be partnered with a content-rich curriculum and robust assessments, both aligned to the Standards.

  15. The Assessment Proposals The Process: Proposals were due from multi-state consortia on June 23, 2010 Awards were made in September, 2010 New Consortia tests will replace the current state NCLB tests in 2014-2015

  16. Assessment Consortia PARCC – Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career, this is a 24-state consortium that is developing assessments for grades 3-11. (Illinois) Smarter Balance – This is the second major consortium developing assessments. ASSETS – English Language Proficiency Assessment System – this consortium is developing assessments for English Language Learners. (Illinois) DLM – Dynamic Learning Maps Assessment Consortium - this consortium is developing assessments for students with disabilities. NCSC – National Center and State Collaborative – this consortium is also developing assessments for students with disabilities.

  17. Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC)

  18. Key Advances of the CCSSM ANCHORED IN COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS 18 PARCC NCSM Presentation

  19. Students are on-track or ready for college and careers Claims Driving Design: Mathematics

  20. Goals of the PARCC System Create high-quality assessments Build a pathway to college and career readiness for all students Support educators in the classroom Develop 21st century, technology-based assessments Advance accountability at all levels Build an assessment that is sustainable and affordable

  21. Goal #1: Create High Quality Assessments Priority Purposes of PARCC Assessments: • Determine whether students are college- and career-readyor on track • Assess the full range of the Common Core Standards, including standards that are difficult to measure • Measure the full range of student performance, including high and low performing students • Provide data during the academic year to inform instruction, interventions and professional development • Provide data for accountability, including measures of growth • Incorporate innovative approaches throughout the system taken from parcconline.org

  22. Goal #2: Build a Pathway to College and Career Readiness for All Students Optional K-2 formative assessment being developed, aligned to the PARCC system Timely student achievement data showing students, parents and educators whether ALL students are on-track to college and career readiness College readiness score to identify who is ready for college-level coursework • Targeted interventions & supports: • 12th-grade bridge courses • PD for educators SUCCESS IN FIRST-YEAR, CREDIT-BEARING, POSTSECONDARY COURSEWORK ONGOING STUDENT SUPPORTS/INTERVENTIONS taken from parcconline.org

  23. Goal #3: Support Educators in the Classroom INSTRUCTIONAL TOOLS TO SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION (Content Frameworks) PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODULES K-12 Educator TIMELY STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT DATA EDUCATOR-LED TRAINING TO SUPPORT “PEER-TO-PEER” TRAINING

  24. Goal #4: Develop 21st Century, Technology-Based Assessments PARCC’s assessment will be computer-based and leverage technology in a range of ways to: • Item Development • Develop innovative tasks that engage students in the assessment process • Administration • Reduce paperwork, increase security, reduce shipping/receiving & storage • Increase access to and provision of accommodations for SWDs and ELLs • Scoring • Make scoring more efficient by combining human and automated approaches • Reporting • Produce timely reports of students performance throughout the year to inform instructional, interventions, and professional development taken from parcconline.org

  25. Minimum Technology Guidelines

  26. PARCC Assessment Design 2 Optional Assessments/Flexible Administration • Mid-Year Assessment • Performance-based • Emphasis on hard-to-measure standards • Potentially summative • End-of-Year • Assessment • Innovative, computer-based items • Required • Performance-Based • Assessment (PBA) • Extended tasks • Applications of concepts and skills • Required • Diagnostic Assessment • Early indicator of student knowledge and skills to inform instruction, supports, and PD • Non-summative • Speaking And Listening • Assessment • Locally scored • Non-summative, required 26
