Guernsey Common Core State Standards

Guiding Questions• What are the Common Core State Standards and
how do they impact my classroom?• For which concepts will each grade level be held
accountable?• How do K-12 concepts spiral?• Which standards are we going to assess for mastery
and at which grade levels(Power Standards)?• What are the essential K-12 vocabulary terms?• Why explore my teaching practices?

Questions and Concerns
• Think about what we have already done with the SMP and what you have been reading about the CCSS.
• What are questions and concerns you have? • We will try to respond to these in the next few
days. What we can’t answer now, we will work toward in the future.
www.tie.net
Where are we?• Standards and gaps• http://
edu.wyoming.gov/Programs/standards/standards_review.aspx
• Scroll to McCrel Gap Analysis• 3 colors – Highlight the CCSS for your grade– green – I am comfortable– yellow – I am a bit concerned– red – OMG! I haven’t done this
• We will revisit the reds at the end of our days!

Power Standards
• A proven process for prioritizing the standards• Read Chapter 3• Break
www.tie.net
Power Standards
–Power Standards (essential skills)–Vocabulary– Structure for capturing work• K-12 Alignment • Scope and Sequence- only for the power
standards you develop
www.tie.net
Power Standards• Would You Agree?– Isn’t depth of a lesser number of key concepts and
skills preferable to “Covering” superficially every concept in the book?
– Typically in U.S., teaching has been “inch deep, mile wide”
– Wouldn’t “inch wide, mile deep” better meet students’ learning needs?
– Would you agree?

Deciding What to Teach Within Time Allotted
• “Given the limited time you have with your students, curriculum design has become more and more an issue of deciding what you won’t teach as well as what you will teach. You cannot do it all. As a designer, you must choose the essential.”
Heidi Hayes Jacobs, 1997
www.tie.net
Power Standards
• All standards are not equal in importance!• Narrow the standards by distinguishing the
“essentials” from the “nice to know”• Teach the “nice to know” in the context of the
essentials!• Prioritization, not elimination!
www.tie.net
But the State Tests ALL Standards!
• Good set of Power Standards will address about 88% of the items on the state test, but not 100%
• If you go after that extra 12%, you will have to cover many more standards and have less time to teach the truly essential ones
• Rationale: better to be proficient at 88% of what will probably be on the state test versus exposure to 100% of what could be on the test.

Critical Conversations
• “What knowledge and skills do this year’s students need so they will enter next year’s class with confidence and a readiness for success?”
www.tie.net
How Do We Prioritize?• Given all the standards in
every grade and content area, how do you decide what is most important for student to know and be able to do?
www.tie.net
Guiding Questions for Identifying Power Standards
• Which standards are critical for our students to know and understand?
• Which standards represent concepts and skills that endure?
• Consider looking at all the standards through the common “lens” of:– Endurance, leverage, and readiness for the next
level of learning
www.tie.net
Endurance
• Defines something a student will need to know for a longer period of time.
• Certainly beyond preparation for a test.• For example, students need to know the
relationship between fractions, decimals, and percents and when to use each throughout their lives.
www.tie.net
Leverage
• The standard is taught and used in more than one curricular area.
• The “Bang for Your Buck” standard• For Example – reading graphs in math and
applying the skill in science.
www.tie.net
Readiness
• Standards necessary for next level of learning. • In first grade, learning place value is necessary
to begin adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.

Power Standard Example

Power Standard Example
www.tie.net
Power Standards• Work on your grade level or high school content
area to determine your power standards• Use your professional judgment.• Remember – Endurance, Leverage, and Readiness• Place power standards on large sticky notes• List vocabulary for each power standard on small
sticky notes – attach to corresponding power standard.

Group Alignment• Share your power standards
and vocabulary in the following groups and refine through conversation:– K-2– 3-5– 6-8
www.tie.net
Common Core Vertical Alignment
www.tie.net
Break
www.tie.net
K-12 Vertical Alignment• Check for flow in domains• Check for gaps in power standards• Check for overlaps in power standards – which
are essential?• Check for flow in vocabulary (do we need to
define vocabulary so everyone is using same verbiage)

Scope and Sequence• Scope and Sequence – pacing guide to mastery• Discuss where to assess for mastery – is this your scope and
sequence with the old state standards?• The Mathematics Common Core Toolbox - http://
ccsstoolbox.agilemind.com/resources_samples.html• Ohio Examples – quarterly: Compare their work to yours - http://
psdmath.pbworks.com/w/page/12514762/FrontPage• What curricula are you using? • Where is the scope and sequence within this curricula?• How can you refine this scope and sequence to meet your power
standards?• Begin with the Number and Operations and the Number System.
www.tie.net
Scope and Sequence• Discuss in the following pairs:– K-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-12 (Up and Back per pair
or group)– K-1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 (Up and Back per
pair or group)• Refine your scope and sequence to confirm all
power standards within number and operations and number systems are met.
• If time permits, move to other power standards.

Standards for Mathematical Practice
(McCallum, 2011)

Common Core Work• So where do we go from here?• Continue your scope and sequence• How do you fill the gaps between Common
Core and former state standards?– K-2 totally immersed in common core– Focus on big gaps and move toward the CC
• Determine continued math work – What support would you need?
• Did we answer all the questions?
