Myth or Fact
Common Core Development
• Initially 48 states and three territories signed on
• As of October 14, 2010, 39 states have officially adopted
• Final Standards released June 2, 2010, at www.corestandards.org
• Adoption required for Race to the Top funds
Common Core Development
• Each state adopting the common core either directly or by fully aligning its state standards may do so in accordance with current state timelines for standards adoption not to exceed three (3) years.
• States that choose to align their standards to the common core standards accept 100% of the core. States may add additional standards.

Domain, Clusters, Strands, Math Practices, Literacy Standards
Organization—Some Organized by Strands
• Grade or course introductions give 2- 4 focal points• K-8 presented by grade level• K-6 Purpose• Organized into domains that progress over several
grades• High school standards presented by conceptual
theme (Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics & Probability)
Standards for Mathematical Content
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning
of others4. Model with mathematics5. Use appropriate tools strategically6. Attend to precision7. Look for and make use of structure8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
Standards for Mathematical Practices
Standards Meet RttT
• Think-Pair-Share:
– Group 1: Discuss connections evident between the Common Core Standards and the NCEES presented on Day 1 of Boot Camp?
– Group 2: Discuss the relationship between RttT and Common Core Standards
Vocabulary
Benefits for States and Districts
• Read the Common Core FAQ• 3-2-1:
– Three ideas that will be helpful to know in our work as PD Leads
– Highlight 2 important phrases to remember– One question you want to explore further
Benefits
• Allows collaborative professional development based on best practices
• Allows development of common assessments and other tools
• Enables comparison of policies and achievement across states and districts
• Creates potential for collaborative groups to get more economical mileage for:– Curriculum development, assessment, and
professional development

A BQuadrant A – Acquisition
Students gather and store bits of knowledge and information.
Students are primarily expected to remember or understand this
knowledge.
Quadrant B – ApplicationStudents use acquired
knowledge to solve problems, design solutions,
and complete work. The highest level of application is to apply knowledge to new and unpredictable
situations.
Quadrant C – AssimilationStudents extend and refine their acquired knowledge to be able to use that knowledge automatically and routinely to analyze and solve
problems and create solutions.
Quadrant D – AdaptationStudents have the competence to think in complex ways and to apply their knowledge and skills. Even when confronted with perplexing
unknowns, students are able to use extensive knowledge and skill to create solutions and take action
that further develops their skills and knowledge.
