5. July 27, 2010 46 states and DC adopt the CCSS Florida adopts standards Provides a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. Designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

6. Standards Development • Are aligned with college and work expectations; • Are clear, understandable and consistent; • Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills; • Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards; • Are informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society; and • Are evidence-based. State led effort to establish a single set of clear, voluntary, shared educational standards for English/language arts and mathematics. The National Governor Association (NGA) and the Chief Council of State School Officers (CCSSO) brought together a teachers, experts, parents, and school administrators to draft the standards. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

7. CCSS Key Advances Focus in early grades on number (arithmetic and operations) to build a solid foundation in math Standards stress skills and conceptual understanding so that students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels. Focus on using math and solving complex problems, similar to what would see in the real world in high school Strong foundation is built in K-5, with hands-on learning in geometry, algebra and probability and statistics in middle grades. Emphasis on problem-solving and communication Helping students develop a depth of understanding and ability to apply mathematics to novel situations, as college students and employees regularly do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rje1NOgHWs

8. THE Common Core News http://www.corestandards.org/ 12/17/12 Structure Domainsare larger groups of related standards. Standards from different domains may sometimes be closely related Clustersare groups of related standards. Note that standards from different clusters may sometimes be closely related, because mathematics is a connected subject. Standardsdefine what students should understand and be able to do.

9. Domains for K-12

10. THE Common Core News http://www.corestandards.org/ 12/17/12 Structure Conceptual Categoriesportray a coherent view of high school mathematics.The categories include: Number and Quantity (N); Algebra (A); Functions (F); Modeling (*); Geometry (G); Statistics and Probability (S). Critical Areas are the big ideas of school mathematics at each grade level. More learning time should be devoted to the critical areas than to other content. The critical areas are designed to bring focus to the standards at each grade by providing the big ideas that educators can use to build their curriculum and guide instruction. The grade level introductions include at least two and no more than four critical areas for each grade.

13. CCSS for Mathematical Practice “The Standards for Mathematical Practice are unique in that they describe how teachers need to teach to ensure their students become mathematically proficient. We were purposeful in calling them standards because then they won’t be ignored.” -Dr. William McCallum • Develops dispositions and habits of mind “Characteristic of an educated person” • Precision in thought • Precision in the use of language and terms • Precision of argument • Sense making happens through conversations • -Dr. Jason Zimba

14. CCSS for Mathematical Practice • 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 Video Clip http://youtu.be/KVn0aksCzNE

15. THE Common Core News Transitioning to the CCSS • The CCSS signify the need to change practice in at least three primary areas: • Content • Instruction • Assessment • More than just replacing current standards. • Opportunity to think about what and how to teach and purposefully plan for student success.

16. THE Common Core News A NEW WAY OF WORK • Current • NEW • Standards-based instruction • Test item specifications guide development of curriculum maps • Focus mini-assessments aligned to individual benchmarks and used to monitor student progress • Teaching benchmarks in isolation results in long lists of tasks to master • Standards-based instruction facilitated by learning goals • Big ideas and learning goals guide the development of curriculum maps • Learning progression scales describe expectations for student progress in attaining the learning goals • Assessments used to monitor student progressare aligned directly to the learning progressions or scales • Teaching big ideas narrows the focus and allows students to delve deeper for a greater depth of understanding

Lesson Objective: Students explore part and whole by creating pattern block designs How does using pattern blocks of multiple shapes push students thinking about partitioning into equal parts? Why does Mr. D have students explain their work geometrically, verbally, and in writing? How could Mr. D extend this lesson to develop students thinking around adding and subtracting fractions or decomposition of fractions? http://youtu.be/uMWFrEx5ZHA

19. CCSS Mathematics Progressions The Common Core State Standards in mathematics were built on progressions. 3-5 Number and Operations - Fractions Common Core Progressions Project • They are: • Narrative documents describing the progression of a topic across a number of grade levels • Informed both by research on children's cognitive development and by the logical structure of mathematics • http://ime.math.arizona.edu/progressions • http://commoncoretools.me/category/progressions/ • http://youtu.be/w7h64xjN-PM

24. Implementation Efforts NEWS Florida College and University teacher educators look to the CCSS • How are the state’s current K-12 standards currently embedded in teacher preparation programs? • How might this need to change? • How can faculty ensure that their aspiring teachers know how to analyze and interpret standards to guide their teaching? to signal and define what their students should know and be able to do to succeed as effective teachers.

25. Take Action Now NEWS Connect CCSS with Current Practice Model • Faculty should use same instructional strategies of CCSS to model effective teaching. • Read through standards with highlighters and highlight what is currently being taught, somewhat taught and not teaching/or not at grade level. Ongoing Professional Development Learn with Students • Retreat/In-service on standards to take time to read, analyze, incorporate them • Use resources from Florida and other states • CCSS Focus/Component during every faculty meeting • Use videos from Hunt Institute and Teaching Channel on CCSS in classes to give students an introduction • Have them identify standards found in video clips.

26. Take Action Now NEWS Form a CCSS Team at your Institution Re-connect with current teaching • Team includes COE faculty, content faculty, leadership, district personnel, teachers • Team attends trainings, shares information, creates workshops, maintains connections • Visit classrooms, offer to co-teach, get involved to experience district implementation • Use the new standards Connect with local school districts • Ask to be included in their PD • Ask that your in-service students are included

27. Take Action Now NEWS Take a “hard look” at what CCSS means for your program. Engage the entire institution • All faculty will need to be prepared for CCSS because their incoming students will be prepared using CCSS. • What does a first year teacher need to know for their grade/content? Re-think and re-structure methods and assessment courses • Include instructional practices and methods of CCSS and formative assessments.
