  1. Common Core State Standards Initiative State Board of Education January 28, 2010

  2. Presentation Overview • Reminder of Common Core Standards Initiative and related process • Phase One: College & Career Readiness Standards • Phase Two: K-12 Grade Level Standards • Oregon’s feedback process and observations • Next steps and considerations

  3. Common Core State Standards Initiative • Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and National Governor’s Association (NGA) leading the effort • Building on work of Achieve • Goals of initiative: • Fewer, clearer and higher-level standards • Aligned with college and work expectations • Internationally benchmarked • Consistent learning expectations across states

  4. Common Core State Standards Initiative • Oregon signed Memorandum of Agreement last summer • Participation a requirement of Race to the Top application • Participating states asked to adopt 100% of the common core standards. States may then add additional standards if desired, but no more than 15% of total number of standards (115% rule)

  5. Common Core State Standards: Initial Content Areas Mathematics English/Language Arts

  6. Common Core State Standards: Two Phases Phase 1: College and career-readiness standards -end of high school expectations • Definitions of “College readiness” and “career readiness” • Designed to anchor K-12 standards

  7. Common Core State Standards: Two Phases Phase 2: K–12 grade level standards- grade by grade articulation of the common core • Designed to serve as guide & tool for aligning instruction, curriculum, assessment & teacher supports, & systems of accountability

  8. Common Core Development and Adoption Process Development Group ACT College Board Achieve Professors Feedback Group State Input Common Core CCSSO State Adoption Validation Committee

  9. Phase 1: College and Career Readiness Standards-Feedback and Outreach • Early drafts sent to chief state school officers and state higher education officers for internal state review • Drafts posted to CCSSI website for public feedback • Outreach to post-secondary partners

  10. Feedback and Outreach Getting the word out • Creation of ODE website for CCSSI • Instructional Leaders Council presentations • Individual contacts with teacher leaders • Conference presentations • Use of electronic listservs • Teacher newsletters • ODE Pipeline • Curriculum Directors listserv

  11. Common Core State Standards: Two Phases Phase 2: K–12 grade level standards- grade by grade articulation of the common core • Designed to serve as guide & tool for aligning instruction, curriculum, assessment & teacher supports, & systems of accountability

  12. Common Core Development and Adoption Process Development Group ACT College Board Achieve Professors K-12 teachers Feedback Group State Input Common Core CCSSO State Adoption Validation Committee

  13. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards • First draft of Mathematics and ELA K-12 standards released November 2009-incomplete version (K-8 only) • Second draft released January 14th for additional state agency review (K-8 and HS)

  14. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards CCSSI’s Feedback Questions • Is the architecture of the draft standards clear and easy to follow for all audiences (e.g., teachers, administrators, curriculum developers, students, general public)? • Does the document present a rigorous, yet reasonable continuum of expectations for student learning in each discipline?   

  15. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards CCSSI’s Feedback Questions 3. Is the language in this draft clear, concise, and precise?  Will teachers be able to readily identify the standards within the document? 4.One of our stated goals for the common core state standards is that they are fewer, clearer and higher.  Do these standards meet those criteria? 

  16. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards English/Language Arts • Content areas include: • reading & literature • writing & research • speaking & listening • language development • Standards for grades K,1,2, and 3 • Grade spans for 4-5, 6-8, 9-10, 11-12

  17. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards English/Language Arts Our feedback process • ODE team: • Julie Anderson, English Language Arts education specialist • Ken Hermens, English Language Arts assessment specialist • Jean Bond-Esser, ODE temporary staff (retired English teacher)

  18. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards English/Language Arts General observations: -Standards include description of the required text complexity by grade/grade span -Are specific standards written for key text types (e.g., narrative, informative and explanatory, argument)

  19. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards English/Language Arts Concerns: -Unclear hierarchy within document -Standards development approach unclear -Repetition of standards across grade levels -Use of grade spans, not grade levels -Emphasis on four-year college readiness

  20. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards Mathematics Our feedback process • ODE team: • Mark Freed, Mathematics education specialist • Jim Leigh, Mathematics assessment specialist • Field reviewers - Math TOSA group, content & assessment panel members

  21. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards Mathematics Content areas K-8 include: • operations • quantity & measurement • base ten computation • shapes • fractions • coordinate geometry • statistics • ratios and proportional relationships • number system • expressions & equations • probability • functions & situations they model

  22. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards Mathematics Content areas HS include: • Expressions • Equations • Functions • Coordinates • Modeling • Statistics • Probability • Geometry

  23. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards Mathematics General observations: -Common standards could strengthen professional development goals/outcomes -Standards are broken down into what students “understand” and what students “can do”

  24. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards Mathematics Concerns: -Standards development approach unclear -Connections to National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and National Mathematics Advisory Panel work is not evident -Content broad and lacking in depth -Developmental continuum questionable

  25. Common K-12 Grade Level Standards Additional conversations • Instructional Leader’s Council • Quarterly meeting • Other Western states • Conference call through Education Northwest

  26. Next Steps and Considerations • Development group utilizing feedback to revise Draft 3-will post for public feedback by Feb. 14th • ODE will work with partners to reviews drafts and submit additional feedback • Joint release of final K-12 and College & Career Readiness standards expected early March • Adoption timeline under further review due to varying state adoption processes • NASBE conference (Feb.1-2) Las Vegas

  27. Next Steps and Considerations • National conversations around common assessment system aligned to common core, professional development needs and instructional materials underway • Oregon a member of consortia of states to develop common assessment aligned to the common standards
