  1. Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Parent Workshop

  2. Bonita Unified School District

  3. Common Core • State adopted in August of 2010 • Gives us flexibility to organize and implement the standards • Instruction is integrated into our classrooms ensuring the highest level of student achievement can take place • We have the ability to research, pilot and purchase the instructional materials

  4. States Adopting CCSS

  5. Why the CCSS • Initiative is driven by states • Consistent expectations nationally • College and career ready • American competitive edge • Standards are benchmarked to international standards • Fewer standards in greater depth

  6. English Language Arts Shifts in Common Core • More instructional time on informational text • Emphasis on reading, writing, and speaking based upon evidence / justification of responses • Writing assignments will focus on • Opinions / Arguments • Informative / Explanatory Texts • Narratives

  7. CCSS ELA Standards BuildKinder to 12th Grade STRAND—Reading for Information

  8. Common Core 6 Shifts in Math • Focus: fewer topics covered in greater depth • Coherence: connect learning within and across grades • Fluency: perform mathematics with speed and accuracy • Understanding: use mathematics in complex situations • Application: know when and how applying math can solve a problem • Dual Intensity: achieve fluency and conceptual understanding/application • Example: 9 x 5 = 45……..Explain why the answer is 45 (fluency) (conceptual)

  9. 8 Mathematical Practices for Grades K-12 • 8 Mathematical Practices: • 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 (Within each mathematical practice, there are several standards)

  10. Common Math Path in Grades 6-12

  11. Common Core for the Special Needs Student • Special needs students will continue to participate in assessments as stated in their Individual Education Plans (IEP’s) • Details for testing are still being developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium • Classroom academic and assessment accommodations and modifications will continue to be made through students’ IEPs • Common Core will provide a change in curriculum, but no changes will be made to special education laws

  12. CCSS Assessments • Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium • Implemented beginning 2015

  13. CCSS Assessments • Students in grades 3-8 and in grade 11 will take the Smarter Balanced Assessments in the areas of: • Math • English • Students will take these assessments online • Questions on these assessments will include: • Selected response • Short answer • Performance task

  14. Timeline for CCSS Assessments • 2013 – 2014: • The field test for CCSS will be administered in the spring • Students take either math or English • 2014 – 2015: • Students in grades 3 - 8 and in grade 11 will take math and English test • These scores will be used as the baseline score for Bonita Unified

  15. How are the CCSS being implemented in classrooms? • Using complete sentences • Justifying responses • Using technology • Reading and analyzing informational text • Exploring concepts at a deeper, more complex level

  16. What parents can do to help their students • Read more non-fiction text • Encourage your students to answer questions using complete sentences • Have your students justify the answers they give you
