Join Deb Wiswell from the NH Department of Education for an informative session on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in New Hampshire. This presentation will cover the history and development of the national CCSS project, the role and impact of New Hampshire in its implementation, and the timeline for feedback and adoption. Learn about the key features of the standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and how they will affect teaching and assessment in the state. Engage in the transition process and find out how you can contribute.

  2. NH Common Core Standards: Agenda • Here’s What . . . • The national Common Core State Standards Project – history, design & development, key features • So what . . . • New Hampshire role in CCSS • CCSS impact in New Hampshire • Now what . . . • Timeline – feedback, adoption, implementation

  3. Here’s What: The National Common Core State Standards Project • Founding organizations • National Governors Association • Council of Chief State School Officers (Commissioners) • Development Process • Writing Team – Feedback Groups - Validation Teams • Duration – June 2009 to June 2010 • Steps (see timeline) • Product • Standards in Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, and Language across content areas • Standards for Mathematics • Appendix documents for both

  4. Key Features:English/Language Arts • Not just for ELA teachers- an integrated model • Across all content areas • Begins with 10 College and Career Ready Anchor Standards • Format mirrors NH • Organized K-5 and 6-12 • Brings the focus back to speaking, listening, and viewing • Appendix documents

  5. Key Features: Mathematics • Learning progressions that follow how students learn concepts • Understanding the mathematics AND procedural skill are equally important • “processes and proficiencies” from the NCTM process standards & Adding It Up • 8 mathematical practices are the same throughout the grades • Standards for content vary by grade • Mastery of standards through grade 7 prepares students for algebra in grade 8 • Appendix documents (not yet)

  6. So what?NH’s Role & Influence in CCSS • Design & Development • In ELA – text complexity, format, informational text, across content areas • In Math – Quantitative Literacy, algebra throughout, explanation of format • Review and Feedback (see timeline) • Specific feedback multiple times • Writing teams were responsive

  7. So what? CCSS Impact in NH • Alignment • Process has begun to look at gaps and matches and grade differentials • Report will go to State Board on July 8 and then to districts and will be posted • Adoption • Public Hearings: June 9-ELA; July 8-10AM -mathematics and ELA • July 8: Board will discuss feedback and alignment report and may vote to adopt • Implementation • Beginning with the analysis this summer, we will work with districts and NECAP teams to develop a smooth deliberate transition plan

  8. Now what? Transition Timeline Fall 2010 – NECAP as usual begin review of standards Fall 2011 – NECAP (possible field test items) Fall 2012 – NECAP (with transitional items) Fall 2013 – final NECAP (best possible transitional test) Fall 2014 – no test (with USED approval) Spring 2015 – new assessments based on CCSS

  9. What can you do? • Don’t panic or rush to change anything! • Review the standards and email feedback to the State Board • Come to the public hearing on July 8th, 10 AM • Wait for the gap/match analysis to be posted mid summer • There is time to be deliberate and thoughtful
