The adoption and implementation of the Common Core State Standards

The need and opportunity in academic standards-based systems to align resources to the standards with fidelity

The opportunity and obligation to share across state lines, e.g., RTTA

44Granular Alignment: Assessment Use Case Example #1CCSS.Math.Content.6.RP.A.2 (Ratios & Proportional Relationships Grade 6)

Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship.

Can you write one assessment item to fully address the standard? Is it more likely that an assessment item might address only part of the standard? If so, how many instructionally meaningful permutations exist?55Granular Alignment: Assessment Use Case Example #1CCSS.Math.Content.6.RP.A.2 (Ratios & Proportional Relationships Grade 6)

277Granular Alignment: Assessment Use Case Example #2CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.6.4 (Reading: Literature Grade 6)

Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone

How the multiple initiatives work together

1: Finding Learning Resources53All images used in this presentation are stock photos used with permission, public domain, or created by the authors. Release for web use of all photos on file.(Jim) Lets start with a student or teacher searching for learning resources for homework or to prepare tomorrows lesson. Existing search engines will find too many options. It can be like finding a needle in a haystack. LRMI allows publishers to tag educational resources so they are more discoverable and so people searching can find specifically what they need. Search engines use the tags and give users the ability to filter results based on details like the specific Common Core State Standard that the resource addresses. It narrows the results to exactly what is needed.53


2: Learning Resources Ratings & Analysis54All images used in this presentation are stock photos used with permission, public domain, or created by the authors. Release for web use of all photos on file.Now that the student or educator has a more focused set of search results, there can still be questions about the quality or effectiveness of a resource. The Learning Registry helps address this. It is a behind-the-scenes peer network for sharing rich information about learning resources between data systems. It uses the vocabulary of LRMI, which is also aligned to the Common Education Data Standards, and leverages the power of the network to collect more than the descriptive data (metadata) provided by publishers. It also allows sharing of metadata such as ratings, comments, downloads, standards alignment, and usage statistics. Applications built to harness the power of harvesting and analyzing the Learning Registry data, including learning management systems and search engines, will allow educators to quickly find content specific to their unique needs with additional quality indicators from the community of educators. It will help educators better understand what works and better target resources to individual needs.54


3: Supporting Personalized Learning55All images used in this presentation are stock photos used with permission, public domain, or created by the authors. Release for web use of all photos on file.Part of the inBloom (formerly the Shared Learning Collaborative) is an indexing service for the Learning Registry. Applications built using inBloom services and Learning Registry data will be able to serve as a bridge between individual learner needs and preferences and the learning resources that will best meet those needs.

Lets say our student has found the right learning resource, targeted to his/her needs, used the resource as part of a learning activity--so what next? At some point there needs to be an assessment to check for understanding. Innovations in online assessments are being developed into applications that interface with the inBloom services. The assessment application must also be able to target specific student needs while assessing granular competencies within learning standards.55


4: Authentic , Standards-Based, Granular, Assessment of and for Learning

GIM-CCSS

AIF(IMS, SIF)56All images used in this presentation are stock photos used with permission, public domain, or created by the authors. Release for web use of all photos on file.And finally, a couple of projects connected with the Race to the Top Assessment consortia, the GIM-CCSS which Doug told you about and the Assessment Interoperability Framework. IMS Global and the SIF Association launched the Assessment Interoperability Framework and then worked under a sub-project of the CEDS with the two assessment consortia and a state not participating in either consortia. The resulting additions to CEDS and interoperability standards lay a foundation for a common vocabulary for assessment data that is compatible across systems, such as sharing of assessment items across assessment banks.

These projects informed CEDS version 3 and new developments in these projects will inform CEDS version 4, just as CEDS provides a common data vocabulary across the initiatives.

For our student and teacher, all of this could mean a critical mass of public domain assessment items and innovative assessment applications for continuous feedback to inform individualized learning. 56


5: Student (and parent) Access to their own Data57All images used in this presentation are stock photos used with permission, public domain, or created by the authors. Release for web use of all photos on file.Finally our student clicks My Student Data Download to download his/her own data in order to create a personal learning profile that he/she can keep throughout his/her learning career.

This is possible because of the MyData Button, a joint project between the Office of Educational Technology and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to encourage schools and software vendors who hold student data to allow such downloads as delimited text, XML, and human readable formats. Developers are encouraged to create customized services and tools for students based on the information available in their personal learning profile.57Synergy between initiativesPurpose
