  4. Common Core State Standards Initiative • A joint effort by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers • A state-led initiative • States were in the driver’s seat • The federal government did not develop the standards or require their adoption.

  5. Standards Development Process • College- and career-readiness standards for English/language arts and mathematics developed summer of 2009 • K-12 standards for each grade were developed • Continual input throughout the process from states, educators, and business and higher education leaders with 10,000 responses during the public comment period

  6. Standards Development Process • Final standards released on June 2, 2010 • Adopted by Oregon State Board of Education on October 28, 2010 • ELA & Literacy in History/SS, Science and Technical Subjects • Mathematics

  7. 42 states and D.C. have fully adopted the Common Core State Standards; 1 state has provisionally adopted the standards; and 1 state has adopted only the ELA standards.

  8. What are the advantages of common standards? • Currently, every state has its own set of academic standards, meaning public education students in each state are learning to different levels. • All students must be prepared to compete with not only their American peers in the next state, but with students from around the world.

  9. Features of the Standards • Aligned with college and work expectations • Focused and coherent • Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills • Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards • Based on evidence and research • Internationally benchmarked

  10. Features of the Standards • The College and Career Readiness (CCR) anchorstandards were written first and describe expectations for the end of high school. • The CCSS were then back-mapped down to kindergarten to ensure that students would be on track early to meet rigorous end of high school literary goals.

  11. Clear Focused Rigorous Common Core State Standards

  12. The standards define: • what is most essential • gradelevel expectations • what students are expected to know and be able to do • cross-disciplinary literacy skills

  13. The standards do NOT define: • how teachers should teach • all that can or should be taught • the nature of advanced work • intervention methods or materials • the full range of supports for English learners and students with special needs

  14. What do the CCSS Mean for Oregon? • English Language Arts standards replace Oregon’s current standards • Districts will continue to prepare students for OAKS assessment through 2013-2014 • CCSS will be fully implemented and assessed through a common assessment in 2014-2015
