Common Core State Standards Smarter Balanced Assessments
What is the Common Core?11
A state-led effort to develop a common set of standards in English language arts and math that:• Align college and workplace expectations• Are rigorous and evidence-based
The CCSS have been adopted by 46 statesThe CCSS will affect all public schools in adopted states
• Implementation beginning now• New state assessments in 2014-15
A parallel effort is underway to develop Next Generation Science Standards that will be released by December 2012
11
Remediation rates and costs are staggering• As much as 40% of all students entering 4-year colleges need remediation in one or more courses• As much as 63% in 2-year colleges
Degree attainment rates are disappointing•Fewer than 42% of adults aged 25-34 hold college degrees

GRADE 08 Question
Read the Grade 08 Sample QuestionAfter you read the question:
THINK about the question posed on the handoutWRITE your answer to the questionDISCUSS with a partner from your color groupREPORT to your group
Scoring Notes
Response should specify that several testing types are necessary to ensure the water is safe for humans and other organisms.
Tests need to take place frequently because the water quality can improve or worsen in a short amount of time.
Support from the text may include but is not limited to: Scientists must measure the temperature of water, pH level, the amount of bacteria in the water, its toxicity etc…
Your thoughts…
What do our students need to know and be able to do to be successful on this type of assessment question?
At what level of Bloom’s Taxonomy is this question written?
Reading Rhetorically
What is the writer’s purpose(s)?What does the writer say?How does the writer say it?
Why read rhetorically?
A writer’s goal is usually to change a reader’s understanding of a topic in some way
A writer will try to persuade the reader directly and indirectly, by selecting and arranging evidence, choosing examples, including or omitting material, selecting words or images
What is an ARGUMENT?
A claim an author makes on how things should be
Supported by evidenceEvidence can be research, statistics,
examples, personal experience , stories, quotations
Listen to a Text
With the grainTry to understand the author’s ideas,
views, and intentionsTry to understand and consider the ideas
fairly and accurately before rushing to judgment
Question the Text
Against the grainTry to read analytically and skeptically Try to interrogate the claims and evidenceMake sound judgments and thoughtful
responses
The text is not always RIGHT, FACTUAL, or TRUE
GLOSSARY ACTIVITIES
STEP ONE: INFO GAP
Find a partner within your color group that has the information you do not have in your glossary and fill in the blanks
Note if you are a Partner “A” or “B”
When finished, move to steps two and three
STEP TWO: LINE UPS STEP THREE: LINE UPS
Line up in your groups 10 people in each row
facing each other (“A”s on one side and “B”s on the other)
“A”s read the 1st word and “B”s read the definition
“As” read one of the questions ( on bottom of forms)
“B”s give their answers
“A”s move to the end of the line (you will now have a new partner)
“B”s read the 2nd word and “A”s read the definition
“B”s read one question, “A”s give their answers
Repeat for all glossary terms
Practicing Academic Language
Line Ups-Step Three Questions
1.What do you know about this term already?
2.How will this term (concept) apply to your teaching?
3.What more do you need to know about this term (concept)?

Common Core Standards Overview:Toward Greater Focus and Coherence
Avoid the problem of “mile wide
and an inch deep”
Aim for clarity and specificity
© 2011 California County Superintendents Educational Services Association • Mathematics General Overview
Recognize that “fewer standards”
are no substitute
for focused standards
Coherence Design
Topics and performances are logical over time
Based on learning progressions research on how students learn
Reflect hierarchical nature of the content
Evolve from particulars to deeper structures
© 2011 California County Superintendents Educational Services Association • Mathematics General Overview
Common Core State Standards
Define what students should understand and be able to do in their study of mathematics
Is the ability to justify appropriate to student’s math maturity
Understanding and procedural skill are equally important and can be assessed using tasks of sufficient richness
Are internationally benchmarked
Reflect rigor, focus and coherence of standards in top-performing countries

Common Core Standards
Do not:
Define intervention methods or materials
Define the full range of supports for English learners, students with special needs and students who are well above or below grade level expectations
Dictate curriculum or teaching methods

Common Core Standards for Mathematics:
Two Types Mathematical Practice (recurring throughout the grades)
Mathematical Content (different at each grade level)
Standards for Mathematical Practice… “ …describe ways in which developing student
practitioners of the discipline of mathematics increasingly ought to engage with the subject matter as they grow in mathematical maturity and expertise throughout the elementary, middle and high schools years.”
© 2011 California County Superintendents Educational Services Association • Mathematics General Overview
Standards for Mathematical PracticeMathematically proficient students:
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them…start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively…make sense of quantities and their relationships to problem situations
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others…understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments
4. Model with mathematics…can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace
© 2011 California County Superintendents Educational Services Association • Mathematics General Overview
Standards for Mathematical PracticeMathematically proficient students:
5. Use appropriate tools strategically…consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem
6. Attend to precision
…calculate accurately and efficiently
7. Look for and make use of structure…look closely to discern a pattern or structure
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning…notice if calculations are repeated, and look for both general methods and for shortcuts

California Grade 8 Options
Goal for 8th grade students is Algebra 1
Not all students have the necessary prerequisite skills for Algebra 1
Two sets of standards for grade 8 Each set will prepare students for college and career
Standards for Algebra 1
Taken from 8th grade Common Core, high school Algebra content cluster and CA Algebra standards
8th grade Common Core
Goal of grade 8 Common Core is to finalize preparation for students in high school
K-7 standards as augmented prepare students for either set of standards

Mathematics Standards for High School
Number and QuantityAlgebraFunctions
Modeling GeometryStatistics and
Probability
© 2011 California County Superintendents Educational Services Association • Mathematics General Overview
Arranged by conceptual cluster (NOT by course):
Mathematics Standards for High School
Specify the math that all students should study to be college and career ready
Identify additional math standards that students should learn in order to take advanced courses such as calculus, advanced statistics, or discrete mathematics. These are indicated by (+).
Include the addition of two courses from California:
Calculus
Advanced Placement Statistics and Probability
Development of suggested course descriptions will be done by CDE as part of their long-range implementation plan

Your thoughts…
What do our students need to know and be able to do

At what level of Bloom’s Taxonomy is this question written?
ELA Content Clusters- 9/10, 11/12
1. Reading Standards for Lit (9)
2. Reading Standards for Info. Texts (10)
3. Writing Standards (10)
4. Speaking and Listening Standards (6)
5. Language Standards (6) 41 Standards Total at 9/10 41 Standards Total at 11/12
Articulation and Rigor
Both vertical and horizontal articulation are built into the Common Core Standards.
Rigor will increase at each grade level in all mainstream classes. CCSS has worked with College Board to achieve this.
Shifts From the Current Standards
Language standards focus on three-tiered approach to vocabulary development- everyday language, academic language, content specific vocabulary.
Knowledge of language, including word choice and word derivations, is of emphasis.
Language skills are progressive over grades 3-12.
Shifts From the Current Standards
Information and Literary Texts will focus on close reading and increased text complexity with literary texts decreasing in use from 50/50 in earlier grades to 70/30 in high school.
Students will be required to support their assessment answers with text
Close and re-reading activities will increase.
Shifts From the Current Standards
This is an integrated program that promotes cross-content literacy- It is no longer the job of just the English Department to teach reading and literacy. Each content area will be doing this with their own materials.
READING Challenges
Among the highest priorities of the CCSS is a requirement that students be able to demonstrate their independent capacity to read at the appropriate level of complexity and depth.
Many students will need careful instruction-including effective scaffolding-to enable them to read at the level of text complexity required by the CCSS.

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT, AND HOW DO WE KNOW THAT WHAT
WE ASK OUR STUDENTS TO READ IS “COMPLEX”?
FROM WORK BY SUSAN PIMENTEL,
Text Complexity…
The Crisis of Text Complexity
Gap between college and high school texts is huge:o HS textbooks have declined in all subject areas over several
decades
o Average length of sentences in K-8 textbooks have declined from 20 to 14 words
o Vocabulary demands have declined, e.g., 8th grade textbooks= former 5th grade texts; 12th grade anthologies=former 7th grade
How much should we worry about this?
ACT Study Tells Us To Worry A Lot
Not the type or level of Question…
…But the degree of Text Complexity that students could handle that predicts their success!
Recap of ACT Findings
Question type (main idea, word meanings, details) is NOT the chief differentiator between students scoring above and below the benchmark.
Question level (higher order vs. lower order; literal vs. inferential) is NOT the chief differentiator between students either.
What students could read, in terms of its complexity--rather than what they could do with what they read--is greatest predictor of success.
Likelihood of success under 50-50 unless students answer at least 40 percent of complex text questions correctly.
The Common Core Standards’ Three-Part Model of Text Complexity
1. Qualitative dimensions (aspects of text best measured by attentive human readers),
2. Quantitative dimensions (aspects of text such as word length/frequency, sentence length, cohesion best measured by computer algorithms) and
3. Reader and task considerations (variables such as the reader’s cognitive capabilities, motivation, reading purpose, and the knowledge and experiences unique to each reader).
Close Reading Defined…
Engaging with a text directlyExamining its meaning thoroughly and methodicallyUsing texts of grade-level appropriateness and
complexityFocusing student reading on the particular words,
phrases, sentences and paragraphs of the author’s work
Read and re-read deliberately
Close Reading and the CCSS
Four steps of analysis are reflected in four types ofreading and discussion:
1. What a text says –(CCSS – Anchor Reading #1)
Restatement
2. What a text does –(CCSS – Anchor Reading #3, 4, and 5)
Description
3. What a text means –(CCSS – Anchor Reading #2, 6,and 8)
Interpretation
4. So what does it mean to me? –(CCSS – Anchor Reading #7 and 9)
Application
All Four Questions: (CCSS – Anchor Reading #10)
Close Reading
The Four Corners of Text – ALL Content ALL the Time…
Read #1 What does the textsay?
What a text says –RESTATEMENT
How does it say it?
What a text does –DESCRIPTION
Read #2 What does it mean?
What a text means –INTERPRETATION

ASSESSMENT
• A computer adaptive assessment given during final weeks of the school year*
• Multiple item types, scored by computer
SBAC: Summative Assessment
• One reading task, one writing task and 2 math tasks per year
• Measure the ability to integrate knowledge and skills, as required in CCSS
• Computer-delivered, during final 12 weeks of the school year*
• Scored within 2 weeks
Student scores from the performance tasks and end-of-year adaptive assessment will be combined for each student’s annual score for accountability.

other subject areas
FAQs (and As)
No assessments planned below 3rd gradeOptional Interim Assessments are designed to
provide “actionable” information about student progress throughout the year
Optional Interim Assessments will include the same types of items and performance tasks as the summative assessments
Timing and frequency of interim assessments will be locally determined
FAQs (and As) continued
SBAC is developing up to 6 performance tasks for grades 9 and 10 for both ELA and mathematics
11th grade assessment will be recognized by colleges and universities as a valid measure of college readiness
