Questions Addressed Today• What are the similarities/differences between Common

Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards?

• What are the implementation timelines from standards adoption to the assessment of the new standards?

• What is the current status and future considerations of assessment graduation requirements?

Washington’s Reading (2005), Writing (2005), and

Math (2008) Standards

Common Core State Standards for English/Language Arts and Mathematics

Adopted July, 2011Fully Implemented 2014-15

Assessed 2014-15

Washington’s Science Standards (2009)

Next Generation Science StandardsStandards final in Spring 2013

Consider Adoption in Spring 2014.Full Implementation could be 2016-17,

more likely 2017-18.Assessment could be 2016-17,

more likely 2017-18.

Common Core Standards and NGSS

Common Core Standards• State-led effort coordinated by

the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers (48 states)

• Informed by the highest, most effective models from states, are evidence-based

• Developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts

NGSS• Based on National Research

Council K12 Framework for Science Education (42 states implementing Framework)

• Development led by Achieve, funded by Carnegie (26 Lead States participating in development)

• Informed by research-based models

• High stakeholder involvement

Phase 1: CCSS and NGSSExploration

Phase 2: Build Awareness & Begin Building Statewide Capacity

Phase 3: Build Statewide Capacity and Classroom Transitions

Phase 4: Statewide Application and Assessment

Ongoing: Statewide Coordination and Collaboration to Support

New Assessments• More rigorous tests measuring student progress

toward “college and career readiness”• Have common, comparable scores across

member states, and across consortia• Provide achievement and growth information

to help make better educational decisions and professional development opportunities

• Assess all students, except those with “significant cognitive disabilities”

• Administer online, with timely results• Use multiple measures

A Balanced Assessment System

Common Core State Standards specify

K-12 expectatio

ns for college and

career readiness

All students

leave high

school college

and career ready

Teachers and schools have information and tools

they need to improve

teaching and learning

Interim assessments Flexible, open,

used for actionable feedback

Summative assessments

Benchmarked to college and career

readiness

Teacher resources for

formative assessment

practicesto improve instruction


Summative Assessments for Accountability in English language

arts/Literacy and Math• Built on solid technology• Coverage of full breadth/depth of Common

Core• Precise assessment of all students

Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT)

Portion• Deeper learning with thematic and scenario-

based tasks• Real-world problems aligned to Common

Core• PT scores combined with CAT for overall

score

Performance Task (PT) Portion

• K-12, higher ed, business, and policymakers part of decision-making

• Broad review of “Achievement Level Descriptors”

• Field testing includes PISA, TIMSS, NAEP items

• Longitudinal data systems used for triangulation

Washington’s Involvement

Washington’s involvement in Next Generation Science Standards

• OSPI staff involved in workgroups 2010-12• Teachers involved in item writing Summer 2012• Limited pilot in 2012-13• Comprehensive field test in 2013-14• Operational use in 2014-15• Higher Ed representation on key SBAC committees

Washington’s involvement in Smarter Balanced

• Washington is a lead state partner for developing the standards• Likely will join a consortium for assessment development• Pilot the assessment in 2015-16?• Operational use of the assessment in 2016-17?

included in SBAC*11th grade to measure college and career readiness. We are working with higher ed to explore the possible use of these measures as an alternative for college placement (or entrance).

What About Graduation Requirements?

• Smarter Balanced tests measure college and career readiness. Should this be criteria for graduation?

SBAC assessments will measure career- and college-readiness

High School Testing• How much is appropriate?

– Currently five at 10th grade: Algebra, Geometry, Reading, Writing, Biology

– 2014–15 Add two (SMARTER Balanced likely choice): • 11th grade E/LA • 11th grade math

• How many should be passed for graduation?– Class of 2015 (2012–13 sophomores) must pass five– College and career-ready cut score for 11th grade exams is likely too

high for graduation• How much do graduation tests cost?

– Approximately $10M for Collection of Evidence (COE) for Class of 2015– 11th grade tests will add $30/student/test

21

Note: 10th grade exams measure high school proficiency with passage required for graduation; 11th grade exams measure career and college-ready standards.* 10th grade math exams could be separate Algebra and Geometry EOC exams.
