COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS IN WISCONSIN
MYTHS AND FACTS
Topics
• Our Wisconsin Agenda 2017• Wisconsin Standards: True and False
Common Core State StandardsTrue and False
True or False?
• The Common Core State Standards are national standards.
True False
Common Core State Standards
True or False?
• The CCSS are not challenging enough.
True False
A Floor, Not a Ceiling
• Standards set a minimum bar—a floor, not a ceiling. They are designed only to help define outcomes to help ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn the content they need to succeed.
True or False?
• Wisconsin has not adopted standards in the past.
True False
Academic Standards: Not a New Idea
9
True or False?
• No teachers were involved in the writing of the CCSS.
True False
Who Wrote the CCSS?
• The NGA and CCSSO brought together content experts, teachers, and researchers in 2008 to write college and career readiness standards.
• The standards were first available for public comment in 2009.
• WI teachers and higher education faculty participated in multiple opportunities to provide feedback
• To learn more visit http://www.corestandards.org/resources/process
Wisconsin’s Leadership Team
• Comment period included meetings with professional organizations, content area leadership teams where feedback was solicited
True or False?
• The CCSS amount to a national curriculum for our schools.
True False
Standards Are Not A Curriculum
• Standards are statements about WHAT students should know/be able to do.
• States and individual school districts decide HOW students should get there.
Sample Grade 3 ELA Standard
• Determine the main idea of a text; recount the key details and explain how they support the main idea (Informational Reading, 3.2)
Sample Grade 6 Mathematics Standard
• Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation. (Number System, 6.3)
True or False?
• The cost of implementing the CCSS represents a huge burden for Wisconsin citizens.
True False
No Additional Funding Requested
• Each Wisconsin district selects instructional materials aligned to standards, and this process is a constantly ongoing cycle.
• The adoption of the CCSS has been worked into this curriculum adoption cycle locally, just like any other state standards adoption in the past.
True or False?
• The CCSS require collection of personal data and family information.
True False
No New Data Collection is Required as Part of CCSS
• The Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act require that all student data be highly protected, used only for agreed-upon education purposes, and not be further disclosed.
• In WI, student data is owned by districts and state laws exceed federal requirements.
True or False?
• The CCSS doesn’t require students to learn mathematical facts.
True False
Rigor EQUAL intensity in conceptual understanding,
procedural skill/fluency and application
Conceptual Understanding: Standards call for conceptual understanding of
key concepts.
Procedural Skill & Fluency: Students use procedures efficiently with
understanding. For example, 8x7 is one more 7 than 7x7.
Application: Students are able to apply mathematics skills and procedures to make meaning of and access content.
This shift requires a balance of three discrete components in math instruction. This is not a pedagogical option, but is required by the standards.
Rigor = ________ + ________ + _______Conceptual
UnderstandingProcedural
Fluency Application
True or False?
• The CCSS Mathematics don’t prepare or require students to learn Algebra in the 8th grade.
True False
CCSSM – Standards Progression
In the CCSS the content has been reorganized to provide time for greater
depth and mastery of concepts.
True or False?
• The CCSS ELA dictate which texts to use and don’t allow for the use of classic literary texts.
True False
Students Should Read A Balance of Literature & Informational Text
Literature Informational Text
Grade 4 50% 50%
Grade 8 45% 55%
Grade 12 30% 70%
