Elements of Career and College Readiness think: know: Key Cognitive Strategies Structure of Knowledge Challenge Level Value Attribution Effort Problem Formulation Research Interpretation Communication Precision & Accuracy Key Content Knowledge Key Learning Skills and Techniques Key Transition Knowledge and Skills go: act: Postsecondary Awareness Postsecondary Costs Matriculation Career Awareness Role and Identity Self-advocacy Ownership of Learning Learning Techniques 7 Source: David Conley, 2011 WA Educators Conference 10-21-13 Source: Dr. David Conley, Educational Policy Improvement Center

  8. Washington’s Vision for Education Every Washington public school student will graduate from high school globally competitive for work and postsecondary education and prepared for life in the 21stcentury. WA Educators Conference 10-21-13 Class of 2011: Bridgeport High School

  9. Washington’s Education Reform Context Today: Shared Vision and Priorities BEA Funding and Policy Recommendations District-directed professional learning structures Career and College Ready State Learning Standards for ALL Students (CCSS/NGSS) Student and School Success Aligned Federal and State Programs Assessment & Accountability Systems (SBAC) Basic Education Act: State Learning Goals McCleary Court Decision & Fully Funding Basic Education National Board Certification Educator Effectiveness Systems (TPEP) Comprehensive Mentor & Induction Programs (BEST) Professional Learning Aligned to Standards Pre-Service Programs Regional Support Systems (ESDs) WA Educators Conference 10-21-13

  10. Superintendent Dorn’s Priorities for OSPI and K-12 Education OSPI’s Mission: To provide funding, resources, tools, data and technical assistance to educators so that they can help students to be successful in our public schools and in college and careers. • Strategic Priorities (2011-2014) • Meet our Constitutional Obligation to Fully-fund our Public Schools • Improve Achievement for ALL Students • Reduce opportunity and dropout rates • Increase STEM opportunities • Increase student supports • Improve our Student Assessment System • Expand Career and Technical Education (CTE) • Expand and Enhance Early Learning Opportunities

  11. Bringing the CCR System Together All students leave high school college and career ready • https://wacore2college.wikispaces.com/Project+Overview • http://www.washingtonesds.org/site/default.aspx?PageID=1 • http://www.k12.wa.us/CoreStandards/ProfDev.aspx WA Educators Conference 10-21-13

  12. Our guiding beliefs and approach for CCR Standards Implementation in WA 2-Prongs: • The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators) • Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided a strong foundation on which to build; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content. • The How: System “Remodeling” • Belief that successful implementation will not take place top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…” • Belief that districts across the state have the conditions and commitment present to engage wholly in this work. • Professional learning systems are critical WA Educators Conference 10-21-13

  13. The “What”: Washington’s K-12 Learning Standards Landscape(CCSS-M, CCSS-ELA, NGSS, EALRS, GLEs, PEs) 2013 WEC Conference

  16. Washington’s NGSS Involvement & ProcessSummer 2011 to Present We are here Presentation to WEC Conference

  17. Widespread input in Washington: 4,000+ educators, stakeholders, students Student Reviewers: Neah Bay HS & MESA 2013 WEC Conference

  18. Superintendent Dorn “We live in an increasingly complex world. And we will need solutions to some big problems, like conserving water and finding new sources of energy. A high-quality science education that starts in the early grades is the key to ensuring we solve those problems and creating a future full of possibilities. The NGSS will give our students the skills they need for success, whether they are college- or career-bound.” 2013 WEC Conference

  19. Governor Inslee “Our classrooms are where Washington’s next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs get their start. These new standards will help educators cultivate students’ natural curiosity, push their creative boundaries and get kids excited about science and technology. This is a tremendous step forward for Washington’s students.” 2013 WEC Conference

  20. Washington Ongoing: Statewide Coordination and Collaboration to Support Implementation (Professional Learning Providers and Partners Across WA ) • Including: • School Districts (CCSS District Implementation Network) • Higher Education • Education and Educator Content Associations • Business Partners WA Educators Conference 10-21-13

  21. “Remodeling” Internal Collaborations 2013 WEC Conference • Calibrate and share messages and resources • Across OSPI departments • Across Statewide OSPI / ESD Network • Jointly develop 3-year Transition Plans and Year-by-Year PD Materials • Co-branded and consistent materials • Articulate foci of state-developed and delivered professional learning supports each year. • Statewide capacity-building efforts • Science/STEM Networks/MSPs/Higher Education Grants

  22. The “What”…A Bit on the Content 2013 WEC Conference

  23. The “What”CCSS-M: The 3 Shifts (Handout) 8.7-8.2013 • Focus strongly where the standards focus • Coherence: Think across grades and link to major topics within grades • Rigor: In major topics, pursue with equal intensity: • Conceptual understanding • Procedural skill and fluency • Application

  24. Standards for Mathematical Practice WA CCSS Implementation -WaCTE Summer Conference, 8-6-12

  25. The “What”: Why new “next generation” science standards? “The NGSS are intended to reflect a new vision for American science education.” (Achieve, 2013) 2013 WEC Conference

  26. The NGSS were built on the principles of A Framework for K-12 Science Education • Children are born investigators • Understanding builds over time • Science and Engineering require both knowledge and practice • Science connects to students’ interests and experiences • Instruction focuses on core ideas and practices • Science learning standards promote equity 2013 WEC Conference

  27. Framework Organization Dimensions of the Framework • Scientific and Engineering Practices • Crosscutting Concepts • Disciplinary Core Ideas Realizing the Vision • Integrating the Three Dimensions • Implementation • Equity and Diversity • Guidance for Standards Development • Looking Toward the Future: Research to Inform K-12 Science Education Standards 2013 WEC Conference

  28. The “What”NGSS: The 3 Shifts (Handout) Focus: The NGSS are Focusedon deeper understanding and application of science content reflecting real-world interconnectedness Coherence: Science and engineering Build Coherentlyacross K–12. Integration: Science and Engineering are Integrated across K–12 in the NGSS. WA Educators Conference 10-21-13

  37. What do we want EVERY student and teacher to know and be able to do? NGSS Examples 2013 WEC Conference

  38. Diving into the NGSS: Layers of an Earth and Space Science (ESS) PE 2013 WEC Conference

  39. Matter and Its Interactions MS-PS1-6 Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes.* [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the design, controlling the transfer of energy to the environment, and modification of a device using factors such as type and concentration of a substance. Examples of designs could involve chemical reactions such as dissolving ammonium chloride or calcium chloride.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to the criteria of amount, time, and temperature of substance in testing the device.] 2013 WEC Conference

  40. Engineering Design 2013 WEC Conference

  41. ArgumentationExample 2013 WEC Conference

  42. Argumentation is a Practice • Argument – Deals with unsettled knowledge – Trying to persuade others – Based on reasoning and not on beliefs • Explanation – Deals with settled knowledge – To inform others 2013 WEC Conference

  43. Argument • Deals with questions, claims, and evidence • There must be connections between questions, claims, and evidence • There has to be strong coherence between thevarious components • Arguments require reasoning – not something tobe simply learned 2013 WEC Conference

  44. The Case Baird and Adriana were working on a science project and needed to figure out which place on Earth – England or Nova Scotia, Canada usually has a warmer temperature during the year. After looking at several maps and tables for evidence, Baird and Adriana each came up with different answers. • Baird said that he thought England was usually warmer than Nova Scotia. • Adriana said she thought England and Nova Scotia would usually have the same temperature. What do you think? Is England usually warmer, the same temperature, or colder than Nova Scotia? Use the information from the maps and tables below to support your answer. 2013 WEC Conference

  45. Pole 600 N 600 N Nova Scotia England 300 N 300 N Equator Latitude and Currents Map 2013 WEC Conference

  46. Population Density Map Number of people per square kilometer 2013 WEC Conference

  47. Let’s work on the activity 2013 WEC Conference

  48. How frequently do children collect data and craft an argument?Could they? How many of you learned to use argumentation when in you were students? In mathematics or science….? 2013 WEC Conference

  49. Examine the corresponding NGSS Performance Expectations You have copies of NGSS performance expectations which correspond to this activity. The CCSS-M and ELA are listed on the same page. 2013 WEC Conference
