1. Common Core State Standards Oregon Foundation of the Oregon Diploma

2. Background – The Oregon Diploma Standards-Based Credit Requirements 4- English/LA 3- Arts/CTE/Second Language 3- Math 1- Health 3- Science 1- PE 3- Social Sciences 6- Electives Total = 24 credits Essential Skills Proficiency • Reading (2012)  Writing(2013)  Apply math(2014) Personalized Learning • Education Plan & Profile • Career-Related Learning Standards • Career-Related Learning Experiences • Extended Application

3. Common Core Standards – What? • College and Career Ready Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics • ELA includes literacy standards for social science, technical subjects, and science 

4. The Common Core State Standards • Based on evidence and research • Focused and coherent to allow for in-depth learning • Cumulative progression of skills and understandings • Rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills • Incorporate standards of excellence found in high achieving countries GOAL: All students college and career-ready

5. How do CCSS support the diploma? • Support increased credit requirements • 4 years English language arts, 3 years of math • Essential Skills embedded within the CCSS • Reflect the Personalized Learning Requirements

6. Common Core Standards – Why? • Standards are the same wherever you go • smoother educational transition for students from district to district • Build on what works • CCSS is supported by best practices and programs already in our schools • Data teams Oregon Literacy Framework • RTI PBIS • Proficiency-based Teaching & Learning

7. Common Core Standards – Why? • Instructional planning will be easier and more efficient • Creating and sharing lessons, strategies and assessments within grade levels, schools, and districts easier for teachers • allow them to focus on high quality instruction • We all want students to leave school prepared to be successful in whatever they do next.

8. English Language Arts – Key Ideas • Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects • Explain how a simple machine works (science) • Compare/contrast world events (social studies) • Justify a solution to a problem (mathematics) • Academic vocabulary in all subjects • Read and understand more challenging texts • Emphasize the use of materials to be read for information

9. ELA– Instructional Shifts • Increase Reading of Informational Text • Literacy Instruction in all Content Areas • Text Complexity • Text-based Answers • Increase Writing from Sources • Academic Vocabulary

10. Mathematics– Key Ideas • Standards for Mathematical Content • K-8 standards by grade level • High school standards by conceptual theme • Content focus at each grade allows in-depth study • Balanced combination of procedural skill and understanding • Requires students to “explain” and “justify” rather than “define” and “identify” • Standards for Mathematical Practice

11. Mathematics – Focus Areas • Kindergarten – Grade 5 • Establishes foundation of using and understanding whole numbers, fractions, and decimals • Grades 6-8 • Preparation for geometry, algebra, and probability and statistics • High School • Emphasis on applying math to solve problems arising in every day life, society, and the workplace

12. Mathematics– Instructional Shifts • Focus • Coherence • Procedural Fluency • Deep Conceptual Understanding • Applications (Modeling) • Balanced Emphasis

13. Common Core Standards – When? • Districts Transition Content: 2011-14 • Full Implementation: by Spring 2014 • Statewide Assessment: Spring 2015

14. SMARTER-Balanced Assessment Based on seven principles • An integrated system • Evidence of student performance • Teacher involvement • State-led with transparent governance • Continuously improve teaching and learning • Useful information on multiple measures • Adheres to established professional standards

15. SMARTER-Balanced Assessment Adaptive summative assessments benchmarked to college & career readiness Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness All students leave high school college and career ready

16. SMARTER-Balanced Assessment Adaptive summative assessments benchmarked to college & career readiness Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness All students leave high school college and career ready Interim assessments that are flexible and open

17. SMARTER-Balanced Assessment Adaptive summative assessments benchmarked to college & career readiness Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness Teachers can access formative tools and practices to improve instruction All students leave high school college and career ready Interim assessments that are flexible and open
