  1. Common Core Standards Initiative State Board of Education February 9, 2010

  2. What is the Common Core State Standards Initiative? The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a significant and historic opportunity for states to collectively develop and adopt a core set of academic standards in mathematics and English language arts

  3. Why is this important? Currently, each state has its own set of academic standards, meaning public education students in each state are learning at different levels This national initiative will allow equal access to an excellent education All students must be prepared to compete with not only their American peers in the next state, but also with students from around the world

  4. Why is a common core of state standards good for students? It will help prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in college and careers Expectations will be consistent for all students and not dependent on a student’s zip code Clearer standards will help students understand what is expected of them and allow for more self-directed learning by students

  5. Why is a common core of state standards good for educators? Allows for more focused pre-service and professional development Assures that what is taught is aligned with assessments including formative, summative, and benchmarking Provides the opportunity for instructors to tailor curriculum and teaching methods Informs the development of a curriculum that promotes deep understanding for all children

  6. What is being produced and when? The NGA Center and CCSSO are leading the process in partnership with ACT, the College Board, Achieve, NASBE, and SHEEO to develop the common core state standards in mathematics and English language arts September 2009: released draft college and career ready standards for public comment March 2010: release draft K-12 standards for public comment March 2010: release final CCR and CCK-12 standards

  7. How are the common core standards being developed? The standards are based on research and evidence from leading national organizations and high-performing states and countries The standards reflect what a student needs to be successful in college and in the workplace States provide input and review throughout the process Levels of input, development, review, and validation are in place

  8. What does the process look like? CCSSO and the NGA Center with ACT, the College Board, and Achieve have established the development, advisory, and validation process AFT, NEA, the Alliance for Excellent Education, the Business Roundtable, the Coalition for Student Achievement, the Hunt Institute, NASBE, and others support the initiative A National Forum on Common Standards shared ideas, gathered input, and informed the initiative A Standards Development Group is defining and writing the common core state standards

  9. Continued: What does the process look like? A Feedback Group informs the work of the Development Group and provides input and guidance as drafts of the standards are developed A Validation Committee ensures the standards are research- and evidence-based; this group is neutral to and completely independent of the Standards Development Group

  10. What are the benefits of adoption? • Higher, clearer, fewer standards • Articulate expectations for what students will know and be able to do • Internationally benchmarked • Research and evidence based • Ready for states to adopt • Able to benchmark across states and compare internationally using common assessments • Common tools and professional development strategies

  11. What happens after the common core standards are developed? Adoption of the common core state standards is voluntary for states Each state will follow its individual process for coalition-building and adoption States will be asked to share their timelines for adoption of the common core to NGA/CCSSO States choosing to adopt the common core standards have agreed the common core will represent at least 85% of the state’s standards in mathematics and English language arts There is an obvious role for assessment; some states will voluntarily come together to develop new, innovative, common assessments

  12. What happens after states adopt common core standards? The common core state standards are the first step in transforming our education system. For systemic change to occur: Educators need resources, tools, and time to adjust classroom practice. Instructional materials need to be developed that align with the standards. Assessments will be developed to measure student progress. Federal, state, and district policies must support alignment of the common core -- throughout the system -- with student achievement.

  13. Common Core Align at standard and topic level Align with college/career ready expectations Provide a curriculum and assessment framework Research Based Rigorous Internationally Benchmarked Vertically aligned learning progressions to college and career readiness Different organization/structure Dispositions/habits of mind for college readiness/21st century proficiency Michigan Align at standard and topic level Align with college/career ready expectations GLCE provide a state/local assessment framework HSCE provide state/local curriculum and assessment framework Research Based Rigorous Lack K-12 progression of concept and skill development Dispositions/habits of mind for college readiness/21st century proficiency How do Core Standards compare with Michigan Standards in general ?

  14. Common Core College and career ready in reading, writing, speaking and listening Literacy across content areas Literacy in history and science 6-12 Progressive development of skill and understanding across the grades Recursive and addressed at each grade level/span Michigan College and career ready in reading, writing, speaking, and listening Literacy across content areas General references to literacy standards in social studies and science GLCE/HSCE K-12 progression not clear; GLCE developed before HSCE Recursive How do Core Standards compare with Michigan ELA Standards?

  15. Common Core College and career ready for non-remedial college level math and training programs Identify knowledge and skills for math-intensive careers Identify options for STEM preparation and advanced study in high school Grade level standards for K-8 High school standards organized under college and career ready standards K-8 standards define instructional focus for each grade level and within grade span progressions Michigan College and career ready for non-remedial college level math and training programs Identify knowledge and skills for math-intensive careers Identify options for STEM preparation and advanced study in high school Grade level expectations for K-8 High school standards organized by strand, and define MMC required credits HSCE define instructional focus for required MMC credits GLCE provide assessment points by grade level How do common core compare with Michigan mathematics standards?

  16. What is next? K-12 Common Core Standards released for public comment March 2010 MDE conducts web survey of K-12 CCS and prepares analysis for both NGA/CCSSO and State Board Final common core standards released March/April 2010 SBE adoption of common core standards Update existing ELA and mathematics documents to indicate alignment with the common core standards Rollout common core standards and supporting materials August 2010
