The State of Education – Our Current Reality
(This is the “why” part!)
Reality 1: A Shift in Education
Compulsory Attendance
Compulsory Learning
Reality1: A Shift in Education
Cumpulsory learning has forced us to ask:
◦What do we want students to know and be able to do?
◦How will we know when they have learned it?
8
Reality 2: What the Data Indicates
• At least 28% of students entering four-year public colleges in the fall of 2000 had to begin by taking remedial courses in math and language arts.
• At least 42% of students entering two-year public colleges in the fall of 2000 had to begin be taking remedial courses in math and language arts.

Reality 3: The Great Disparity in Curriculum & Assessments
• The “Proficiency Illusion”
Reality 3: The Great Disparity in Curriculum & Assessments
• Researchers collected data from several states that administered both state and nationally normed assessments.
• Findings indicated that: 1. States vary greatly in difficulty2. The tests of 8 states (out of 26) have become
easier3. Improvement in passing rates on state tests is
largely the result of easier tests.
Reality 3: The Great Disparity in Curriculum & Assessments
• Findings also clearly illustrate that there is a disconnect between the curricular expectations and assessment pieces administered that were state normed (ISAT 3-8) versus those that are nationally normed (PSAE).

What is Our Response to this
Educational Crisis?(This is also part of the “why”!)
How were the Standards Developed? The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led
effort, launched more than a year ago by state leaders, including governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia, through their membership in the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO).
To write the standards, the NGA Center and CCSSO brought together content experts, teachers, researchers and others.
The standards have been divided into two categories: ◦ College and career readiness standards, which address what students
are expected to learn when they have graduated from high school; and
◦ K-12 standards, which address expectations for elementary through high school.
18
“Race to the Top” (RTTT)
$536 Billion was allocated to “Race to the Top” through ARRA.
$48.6 Billion went to the “State Stabilization Fund” (formula funding)
$5 Billion was allocated to Race to the Top ($4.35 billion) and “Investing in Innovation” ($650 Million) (competitive funding)
“Race to the Top” (RTTT)
Phase 1 RTTT awarded 2 grantsPhase 2 RTTT awarded 10 grantsRTTTT Assessment Grants = 2
grantsRTTT Technical Assistance Network
was developed to provide some resources to non-recipients
20
“Race to the Top” (RTTT)4 Purposes of Race to the Top
1. Adopting state standards and assessments that prepare students for success in college and the workplace
2. Recruiting, rewarding, and retaining effective teachers and principals
3. Building data systems that measure student success & inform instruction and practitioner development
4. Turning around the lowest performing schools
21
“Race to the Top” (RTTT)
The state of Illinois applied for RTTT finding twice – January 2009 & May 2010.
Part of the assurances submitted by the state of Illinois included the adoption of the new Common Core Standards – regardless of whether or not the state was ultimately awarded funding.
22
“Race to the Top” (RTTT)
These 4 assurances have become the PILLARS of ALL programs within the US Department of Education.
These 4 assurances will be the PILLARS of the ESEA Reauthorization Blueprint.
23
“Race to the Top” (RTTT)The common core standards
were officially adopted by the state of Illinois on August 2, 2010.

High school math focus on using math and solving messy problems, similar to what students would see in the real world
Problem-solving and communication emphasized
Mathematical practices are recommended which cut across learning K-12 70
The Challenge for High Schools
High Schools face a particular challenge when it comes to the new math standards.
The K-7 standards contain the pre-requisites to prepare students for Algebra I by 8th grade. This will impact course offerings at the secondary level.
High Schools will need to choose whether they follow a traditional course sequence (Alg. 2, Geometry, etc.) or and integrated approach (Math 1, Math 2, Math 3, etc.)

Assessment
84
What about Assessment?•Illinois is part of a 26- state
consortium on assessment (PARCC) focused on developing a richer more authentic evaluation of student learning.
85
The Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC or Partnership) was awarded funding for the development of a K-12 assessment system aligned to the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and mathematics.
What is PARCC?
86
The goal of The goal of PARCCPARCC is to create an assessment system that will help states dramatically increase the number of students who graduate high school ready for college and careers and provide students, parents, teachers and policymakers with the tools they need to help students – from grade three through high school – stay on track and graduate prepared.
87
What is the impact of What is the impact of participation in PARCC?participation in PARCC?
States in PARCC will adopt common assessments and performance standards.
The Partnership’s assessment system will be anchored in college and career readiness.
Students will take parts of the assessment at key times during the school year, closer to when they learn the material.
88
What will the new What will the new assessment look like?assessment look like?
PARCC assessments will be computer based.
PARCC assessments will include sophisticated items and performance tasks to measure the standards more effectively.
89
◦ More Meaningful Standards: consistent across states, clear to the public and on track for college
◦ Higher Quality Tests: assessments will include performance tasks to measure critical thinking, strategic problem solving, research and writing.
◦ Through-Course Testing: Students will take parts of the assessment at key times during the school year, closer to when they learn the material.
